Search results on Google to the prompt "gaza genocide."

Search results on Yahoo to the prompt "gaza genocide."

Interesting how Google and Yahoo's search results signal boost real-time genocide denial, but Yahoo (right) is even more aggressive, even referring to the Gaza genocide as a "characterization" under the Wikipedia preview.

I took these screenshots about a minute apart.

There's a lot of talk about medicaid in the big awful bill but hardly anyone talking about how it will turn ICE into the largest law enforcement agency in the country and world's largest jailer. This is the equivalent of the enabling acts and will be the start of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

We have issued a researched statement on the necessity of the PIP Program as an essential provision for personal safety following the Lemkin Institutes 'Red Flag Warning' regarding trans and intersex discrimination and persecution in the UK.

I can get on this over the weekend - just message me.

"Zohran Mamdani's father stated the basis of our entire political tendency in plain words"

"Wir haben Duschen. Dort sehen Sie die Dusch- und Badeeinrichtungen."

It's only a matter of time before parents who believe that God created separate races start trying to opt their kids out of learning about the common origin of humanity in Africa.

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards *or* of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district)

Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

Tapping the sign again.

If Cuomo runs as a spoiler I feel like he and Adams will pull each other's votes more than either from Mamdani

Picture of a protest in Iran with a cardboard saying the slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadî" in multiple languages/scripts

Two feminist collectives - made up of Iranians, Hazaras and Kurds (one is Iranians only I think, the other all three) - have released important statements about this Israel/USA vs Iran war, that you should read and share.

An incredibly relevant snippet for those who struggle to hold multiple simultaneous truths in their heads.

Bad Ink: how the new York times sold out transgender teens by Riki Wilchins

Well, this seems like a pretty topical day to read this essential nonfiction cut from @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

OP: Using stadiums has a long fascist tradition: chile, argentina, afghanistan, reply: … Handmaid’s Tale

one thing i think people should ask the court conservatives given this ruling is what, specifically, was wrong with plessy?

There's a kind of male violence that is often misinterpreted as being in defense of women when it's actually in defense of who has the right to harm women (in a "we do; they don't" mode, see KKK, southern lynching, etc.)

YES, THIS.

a black and white illustration of 4 ICE agents standing at the other side of an open door. They are silhouetted except for their glowing eyes and bared teeth. The text reads “our dire investigations had led us here. danger is everywhere - it is best to comply. may we enter?”

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

I doubt it will be be the military that fires on unarmed civilians. They're often far better trained with clear rules of engagement. It'll likely be DHS thugs who are untrained in protest response armed with weapons of war.

If they do, all bets are off and will escalate this to a breaking point.

Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE                THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Trump has authorized regular military in addition to the Guard: "In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion"

History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme so we're getting a night of the long tweets.

We’re in court today challenging the Department of Defense for banning books and curricula about race and gender in schools on military bases around the world.

Every student deserves the freedom to read.

A big reason I think they didn't jump in against book bans in states like Florida and Texas is that's happening in public schools

The kids are not the problem

Maksim tells me he has developed a kinship with the transgender detainees in particular, who he says face brutal harassment from both guards and fellow inmates. “I’ve befriended several,” he says. “But here, especially for trans people… just disappear. One day they’re here, the next day, no one knows. Were they deported? Released? No one tells us.” In that landscape of indifference, Maksim has found a kind of resistance in solidarity. He is part of a small community of queer detainees who take care of each other. “I’d be happy if America wants to deport me,” he says. “Just not to Russia. Mexico would be fine.”

Reading this interview with Maksim Borisov, a gay Russian dissident who sought asylum in the US last year only for ICE to arrest and detain him in February.

He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people… just disappear."
