Remember that all of this is in defense of a detention center where people are being held in horrible conditions after being kidnapped off the street for no reason.

I understand the urge to do this in response to the way people are blaming mothers. But even if this is ever proven to be a cause, we can just say "no parent should be blamed for a child being autistic" AND "autism should NOT be treated like a curse on children."

I really hate how in response to this mother-blaming autism discourse, people will sometimes bring up "older paternal age" as a cause. Because this STILL ends up stigmatizing autism, even if you don't mean to do that.

A kind reminder that a strong, collective, grassroots #LongCovid movement would be an existential threat to those who pushed mass infection dynamics. Hence, the attacks on the name itself, the concept, the links between the disease and a pandemic driven by a SARS virus

Antifa expert at Rutgers University says he is moving to Spain because of death threats An expert on anti-fascist groups who teaches at New Jerseyโ€™s flagship state university is moving his family overseas.

Are we great yet?

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

I've seen so many people say "what's so bad about being a tradwife" or "feminism isn't about not being a tradwife" (in response to the "Taylor Swift tradwife" discourse)

One thing I have learned in the last week is that a lot of people do not realize that "tradwife" does not simply mean "stay-at-home mom"

A group of people stand on a hill at dusk overlooking a devastated landscape in Gaza. Below them, makeshift tents and vehicles are scattered across a barren area. In the distance, plumes of smoke rise into the evening sky from ongoing airstrikes, faint lights glimmering through the haze. The people watch silently, their silhouettes outlined against the pale blue light.

A dark silhouette of palm trees and buildings is seen under a fading purple sky as a thick column of smoke rises from behind the rooftops. The scene captures the quiet tension of a city under attack, the smoke towering over homes as night falls.

Three men sit on a sandy hill facing a vast field of destruction filled with tents and ruins.

Despite the announcement of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli occupation warplanes bombard several areas across Gaza City earlier today.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I hope very much for a respite for everyone in Gaza- but what I really hope for is justice and an end to the occupation

Don't tell Palestinians not to have hope or that the ceasefire deal is doomed.

They know what Trump is. They know what the Occupation is. They live under Occupation every day. We're not doing them any favors telling them what they already know.

Let them have hope. We all need it. So do they.

I can't believe it took so long to get to this point and so many lives were lost in the process. The US & every other country that played a role in this genocide is evil and nobody should let them believe this moment absolves them.

It's so great to see footage of Palestinians celebrating after the news about the ceasefire. I sincerely hope this lasts. There is still so much work to do until Palestine is free, but this is an important step.

When you say he's senile you detract from the fact he's evil.

When you say he's not smart and being manipulated you detract from the fact he's evil.

When you say he has no idea what he's doing you distract from the fact he's evil.

TRUMP IS EVIL.

Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines.

Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

This destruction clearly demonstrates the goal of the genocide: to make Gaza unlivable. Those of us in the US live in a country that won't offer us free healthcare or protection from a deadly virus, but enthusiastically funds a genocide and criminalizes those who protest it.
