Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

On Wednesday, ICE GOONS arrested a mother in the school drop-off line at Inzunza Camarina Elementary in Chula Vista, leaving her two children in the car.

Truly can we outlaw sports betting

"Retiring with friends is “almost impossible,” [McCamant] said. Friends get tied down...They have different levels of financial ability and need...One or two strong-willed people need to articulate a vision, then recruit other like-minded people to join them."

Hello, everyone. I have a proposition.

"Sherry Moore, who moved to The Bird’s Nest in June 2024, doesn’t want men in the community. “If you’re dating somebody, they have a home, right?” she said. “You go there.”"

She said, "Leave your dirty man at his house."

"Women with more social ties have a 10 percent longer life span and 41 percent higher odds of surviving to age 85 than women with fewer ties, regardless of their demographic characteristics or health conditions." Friendship is essential!!

It's incredibly easy to look at a situation and identify some tiny, marginal group who can be made to wait or experience just a little suffering while the rest of us try and keep the ship steady. The enemy knows so. That's why they make the bargain to begin with. While eyeing up *your* neck.

just tried to find an open post office and took a detour through the local military base (they made us turn around and leave bc we didn't have a pass 🙃)

I have yet to read a single story about men adopting AI at work (without being told) at a higher rate than women that presents it as anything other than men being smart. Not one story about how it implies they're lazier and less ethical.
Because that's not the narrative that's being pushed about AI.

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

Texas Man Sues California Doctor to Try to Prevent Girlfriend from Getting Abortion Pills Notorious lawyer Jonathan Mitchell is representing another man upset about his partner's alleged abortion.

NEW: Anti-abortion legal terrorist Jonathan Mitchell is helping a Texas man seeking to block his girlfriend from getting abortion pills.

The suit seems intended to scare physicians out of prescribing the drugs under "shield laws" and women out of seeking abortions, said @jillwieberlens.bsky.social

thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Has anyone figured out a way to diplomatically suggest to their friends or family members that repeat COVID infections may’ve given them subtle frontal lobe damage that decreases empathy and the ability to accurately assess risks? That’s a tricky one.

i follow and am developing relationships with a lot of pregnancy loss/miscarriage orgs and there is something to be said about how every time there’s a criminalization case against a person who has had a miscarriage, there is almost always radio silence from these orgs

This is why it's vital to push back against mask bans. Everyone has a right to protect themselves from disease + invasive state surveillance, especially the most vulnerable.

Do you know if mask ban legislation is moving in your state? 👇

Quite the statement from the National Republican Senatorial Committee about declared candidate Ken Paxton.

They don’t want him to be the Senate nominee because Democrats are polling well against him. They don’t give a single fuck about adultery.

Israel bombing political dissidents to the Iranian regime in an effort to represent Israeli dissidence to the Iranian regime seems like the inevitable conclusion of a Zionist worldview which assumes nonexistence of progressive elements in Arab societies

Seeing some posts referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as being "kept safe" in jail. No one is safe in jail, fam. Incarceration strips years off people's lives and manufactures premature death. It's very important to understand this, especially now.

I don't think the average American understands how many folks pay for nursing home care through Medicaid. It's not just poor people. This is oversimplifying but, the way our system is set up is that you sell everything you own to pay for it, then you apply for medicaid to pay for the rest.

not to be even more grim after yesterday & ten years on from Obergefell but here we are because of the Christian right legal movement: sure, go get married, but it’s tantamount to obscenity should anyone under 18 in public school know about it

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

The Times could have tried talking to ANY of the actual Jews or Jewish orgs involved in Jews for Zohran!
There were many many many — and highly visible. And it’s dangerous malpractice for the NYT to not include us for the sake of an inflammatory binary.

The people most rabid about what they see as the evils of diversity have insulated themselves from ever having to interact with people different from them—unless they are being served or catered to.
In other words: They are boring know-nothings.

Did Pete Hegseth really just tell a reporter, "You have been the absolute worst this entire time," when she asked if he could be certain none of the uranium was moved before the strike? And then he went on a rant about gender before ending the press conference. What a circus.

It would be great if Texas could pass legislation that's even a tiny bit grounded in actual research, not just right-wing conspiracies and conservative vibes. Only this state could fuck up the country's already fucked up food system even further. 🙄

Texas enacts law requiring snacks like Doritos, Skittles, and Mountain Dew to carry ‘not recommended for human consumption’ labels A far-reaching Texas bill signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday will force manufacturers of processed foods and drinks to put warning labels on any products containing 44 different food additives o...

"Warnings have to be accurate in order to be legal.”

"It’s unclear how the list of additives was created."

I bet you $10 the list was partially created to harm plant-based food brands. The actually safe ingredients listed are derived from plants. Suspicious.
