everything they say about sex being really about power for men who want to start a forever war bringing the full might of its lovingly decal’ed and signed and petted military arsenal against girl children in schools

waging war on children getting an education in a country often framed as barbaric, with bombs sent from a country whose leadership would prefer its girls in paedophile sex trafficking rings

Bombing any school is atrocious but a girls school feels particularly something especially during, you know, everything

The only radical idea that anyone has ever had is accountability for people with power.

All else is mere reform.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes β€” The Daily Beast Close to 100 explicit photographs were reportedly found before they were removed and re-uploaded with redactions.

Nearly 100 explicit images involving minors were reportedly released unredacted in the DOJ’s Epstein files dump, despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring victim protections. Abusers names were redacted and all of this seems intentional.

For anyone who doubts these processes -- or humanity's power to alter our planet -- consider this dispatch from the poles: Human-caused warming has already melted so much ice in Greenland and Antarctica that Earth's rotation has slowed and its axis has shifted, slightly altering the length of the day and disrupting the precision of satellite tracking, global positioning systems and timekeeping.

real talk though what happened with the whole real anti trans sect from those two philosophers (it’s always the philosophers) who were senior in the party? Did Jack Polanski just beat them in armed combat or something?

"Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them.

Please donate to these groups to help my neighbors

my kids aren’t listening to me because I’ve almost completely lost my voice and this teaches me two things:

First, learning sign language needs to get rebooted stat (BSL not baby sign)

Second, I need to do better at giving Mum Looks (though I have eyes like a ren & stimpy character so)

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Learning there's an AI data center being built that is 1/5th of the size of Manhattan and that the centers use so much electricity that they periodically limit how much housing can be built because utilities can't supply the centers and new housing simultaneously might be my joker moment.
