She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life. Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

This is a really impactful way of telling a difficult story that a lot of folks would otherwise skim or ignore.

Trump Takes Veterans Day Speech in a Very Different Direction The former president said that threats from abroad were less concerning than liberal “threats from within” and that he was a “very proud election denier.”

Trump says he's going after "radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." That kind of rhetoric has preceded every genocide in history.

Am I saying Trump is planning a genocide? No. But don't be surprised when the brownshirt violence starts.

Screen grab from the BBC website showing that their reporting differs talking about deaths in Gaza (500 people have died) vs deaths in Israel (700 people have been killed)

Moderate U.S. Politician Believes Israel Should Only Kill Half Of Palestinians WASHINGTON—Hoping to bring all sides of the issue together, moderate politician Rep. Martin Danforth (D-OH) told reporters Friday that he believed Israel should only kill half of the Palestinians. �...

"This war is a complex issue with valid points across the ideological spectrum, which is why it’s imperative that cooler heads prevail and that Israel limit its slaughter to 50% of the Palestinian population."

The thing about “they voted for Hamas” is the last time there was an election in Gaza, the median resident was a year old.

‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That The past week has shown humanity at its worst: A horrific terrorist attack left at least 1,300 Israelis dead, among them peace activists and even innocent children. The fates of many more kidnapped ...

Let us be clear: This is a fraught moment, and one that has polarized not only Americans but people all over the world. It demands incredible sensitivity and strict adherence to journalistic standards of objectivity, and simply put, that is something we aren’t willing to do.

Too many people use the logic, "If someone commits an atrocity against you, you've earned the right to an atrocity against them." But you can't earn the right to atrocities. It's not a thing you can deserve to do.

Tell your MP: Roll up your sleeves and break monopoly rule Monopoly giants are dominating Canada and keeping our prices high and markets uncompetitive. From telecom to banking to groceries, the playbook is the same: the giants keep getting bigger, and our law...

This is actually happening in our schools. Most parents don't realize this.

My workplace has gone from “Don’t come to work sick” to whatever this is. 😭

They are pretending COVID doesn’t exist so they don’t have to provide basic worker rights like sick days, remote work, or worker protections. COVID is a labor justice issue.

Ugh I stopped using Twitter years ago but this finally got me to outright delete the account...disgusting
