I'm sure thst unless you follow Jewish media you have seen absolutely nothing about this but today a group of Isreali and US Rabbis were arrested at the Gaza border for demonstrating while attempting to bring a shipment of food to Palestinians. They are part of the group Rabbis for Ceasefire.

This is how you report on trans youth. You actually TALK TO THEM and center the coverage on them, their families, and their communities, rather than centering the bigots trying to ban their existence www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2024...

are you better off now than four years ago when you blacked out inside every time the president blurbled ‘testing makes the numbers go up’ as you disinfected your groceries and tried to remember the last thing they said on the zoom call before your kids started fighting for the 17th time today

The Supreme Court justices offered an object lesson in how originalism actually works in their decision on the Trump ruling, which not only disregarded much of the 14th Amendment but then rewrote parts that made them uncomfortable www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I live in the same town as this woman. She organized and runs a chapter of Moms for Liberty. She was removed from back to school night at the highschool for screaming about teen girls having their breasts cut off. She has doxxed teachers. Her activities resulted in multiple bomb threats at schools.

Here we have a 53-year-old woman who is so consumed with hatred for her trans kid that she pretends to be nonbinary to show the world how quickly you can get hormones and surgery. It takes 10 months just to get a referral. www.realityslaststand.com/p/i-pretende...

One reason I'm running for office is that you really just need one person, one elected official, who just absolutely refuses to shut up about this stuff, and half the time that's sufficient to make the whole world talk and think about it.

I can’t believe we’re here again: Republicans caught dead to rights in an insane corruption scandal with most Dems are content to move on and most media, thus, uninterested in chasing the story. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

This is bullshit. I started exercising and now my mood is elevated? I'm kind of disappointed in my brain to be honest.

also under “border closed” conditions we’d still, by law, be processing asylees at ports at floor rate which annualized is about 500k/year, or more than we process now.
