God. The ghoulish statements by local elected officials about the unhoused and "compassionately clearing encampments" is already starting. This is so depressing

From USC to Columbia, silencing pro-Palestinian students isn't the answer. And it sure as hell isn't making Jewish people safer. My latest:

Opinion | Silencing Muslim students isn't the way to protect them from vitriolic pro-Israel voiceswww.msnbc.com This whole USC affair highlights what universities claim they are trying to do. But is silencing Muslim students the only way to protect them from vitriolic pro-Israel voices?

A few days ago I met a pal, an OB-GYN who is working at a service that sends abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) to women who need them in states that ban abortion. She asked me to help spread the word about how to use the service, and asked me to ask you guys to pass on the info. 1/6

Today the Alabama Supreme Court made IVF essentially illegal by declaring un-implanted embryos “human children.” What happens in a red state never stays in a red state (see: the Dobbs decision that started in MS) - we can’t ignore these places.

Somehow 99% of my feed on here is authors... Not the worst but I wish more people I used to follow on the bird site transferred here

People doing stupid things with vehicles in national parks should have their vehicles immediately impounded for like 48 hours and then at least a $1500 fine. Really make it clear to the morons that they can't get away with disturbing delicate ecosystems.

I've settled lots of discussion about trans identities by comparing it to adoptive parents. Adoptive parents have all the rights of other parents even though they aren't "biologically" parents. "Mom" and "dad" are constructs just like "man" and "woman" 🤷🏼‍♀️

Recently St. Louis police DROVE AN SUV INTO A GAY BAR and then arrested the owner within seconds of doing so. The cops’ statements about what transpired have been proven wrong by video evidence. They have managed to make it worse. The City is trying to condemn the property for the damage.

This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homelesswww.houstonchronicle.com Roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to volunteers with the loosely organized Food Not Bombs, which serves meals to people in need.

NYT actually doing a journalism.

I think more western journalists should be curious about why so many Palestinian children are locked up in Israeli detention without trial.

Freed Palestinians Were Mostly Young and Not Convicted of Crimeswww.nytimes.com Israel has released a total of 240 Palestinian prisoners and detainees during a weeklong pause in hostilities.

Not remembering to bring my daily anxiety med to my GFs really made today kinda suck. Had to survive on emergency anxiety meds and peppermint oil til tomorrow because I didn't get back til 6 pm and that's too late to take the pill I think

Why is my feed 99% John Scalzi and Neil gaiman? Not that they aren't cool and all....but....where is everyone else I follow?

I keep thinking the acronym ACAB is similar to AFAB or AMAB and so whenever I see it I just think "assigned cat at birth"

I mean I hope so? But I've met too many folks who talk a big game about inclusion without actually doing it, and I never want to be that guy, so the best I've got is I'll always try my best.
