“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

Ooops!

NEW from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social: The Washington Post’s revelation today that it knew about — and did not report on — the Alito flag story for more than three years raises a lot of questions. Here are a handful of them. www.lawdork.com/p/washington...

Washington Post bombshell: Washington Post buried Alito flag story for three yearswww.lawdork.com Saturday's report raises many questions, several relating to the fact that the Post, at least passively, made the decision not to reveal this news many times since 2021.

Perfect album from 1989, got it

It has been very revealing to see white liberals/white people with marginalizations state over and over that tens of thousands of dead Palestinians are acceptable as long as fascism do not reach them. They don't realize it's coming for them no matter how many brown and Black people they sacrifice.

At this point I’m 99% sure the Biden is going to lose in November, and he will have earned it. What a fucking embarrassment of an administration.

the neat thing about the Met Gala is you can actually ignore all of it and donate to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund www.pcrf.net

Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands bravely against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago. But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.

Imagine being a person who defends this. Imagine being a person who turns away from this, & demands we vote obediently. Don’t lecture us. Lecture Joe. He’s the one who needs it.

Christians make up the largest percentage of Zionists worldwide. Where’s that conversation?

Your regular reminder that there are more Christian Zionists in the US alone then there are Jews in the entire world (and many Jews aren't Zionists).

It's getting, unfortunately, more Twitter-y around here.

OMG.

Returning to my old workplace (20+ years there) after 7 years away to help a friend celebrate retirement. I was surprised she invited me. Honored and anxious. There are people in the world you don't expect to see again. That's going to happen today. Not the retiree, others. Awkwardness will ensue.
