That gives them 3 months to prepare to squash this resistance. Don't think that the mantle of nonviolence will protect you from violent state repression. It will not.

This is how fascism comes.

A new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute shows that 4 out of 5 Jewish Israelis – 79% - are not troubled by reports of Palestinian famine and suffering in Gaza.

DeSantis: FHP arrests 3,000 in immigration crackdown, plans new strike team Florida Highway Patrol troopers have "apprehended almost 3,000" immigrants this year, and the agency announced a new strike team to increase arrests.

Be on particular alert for state troopers. They are forming a new arm of the Florida highway patrol specifically to terrorize immigrants and brown people.

The article states that there are currently no concrete plans for Blanding, which will be activated before any panhandle facilities.

When it comes to birth control, Florida is among the most restrictive Florida stands as the third-most restrictive state in the nation for birth control access, trailing only Kansas and Mississippi, Tallahassee's public radio station WUSF is reporting Monday. A new scorecard published by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a nonpartisan health research organization, evaluated states based on policies affecting contraceptive access, separate from abortion restrictions. "Your access to reproductive health care currently depends on where you live, which is a reality that is really unfortunate," said Cathryn Streifel, senior program director at the Population Reference Bureau.

Nah.

It's honestly extremely American, but that's even more reason to condemn it.

‘Un-American’ ICE raids on sacred spaces must end, says suit by religious groups Eleven religious groups are suing the Department of Homeland Security in response to a Trump administration policy reversal ending a decades-long practice protecting houses of worship, schools and hospitals from immigration officials looking to enforce action.

fuck the New York Times and everyone who works or writes for them and please let me emphasize yes, I mean everyone

ICE's goal is not terror. Terror is a nice byproduct for them, but ICE's goal is ethnic cleansing.

If terror were the main goal, then Stephen Miller wouldn't be screaming at these guys on phone calls about upping their numbers.

Ethnic cleansing requires logistics and it takes resources.

As always, Gaza suffers for the sins of the Israeli State.

There's an archer meme for every occasion

Reprehensible and cruel.

One time, before I transitioned, I was in a co-ed military triathlon. I had had an equipment malfunction that set me back on the biking portion, so I was one of the last 20 people in the pool. I came in 3rd place in women, and and smoked 40 men, 36 of whom had gotten a significant headstart on me.

Reminder that this whole red herring argument is based on the misogynistic assumption that men are better at sports than women. This completely ignores the existence of co-ed sports. AND that women regularly spank men in such co-ed sports.

My flat out favorite part of the campaign office is how it’s now a resource for people to get whatever they need: clothes, food, toiletries, chargers, books, and a bunch of other stuff.

If you have items you’d like to donate, drop by our office at 7016 N Clark Street when we’re open! :-)

They came at the expense of the dignity, well-being, and even the very lives of other human beings.

The history of the land on which we stand and the people who we came from, and indeed, in some cases still are demand accountability. It is our responsibility to recognize the horrors that we have benefited from, even if we ourselves did not perpetrate them.

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here
