Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

The face of anticipation

A tabby cat with a striped coat and long whiskers stands on a wooden floor, gazing up toward the camera with an expectant look. To the right, a white plate with wet cat food is partially visible. The background includes white baseboard trim and part of a cabinet or door.

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

Hey, looking for Antifa 800# so I can find a Civil Rights Attorney after my arrest at the Fairhope, AL No Kings protest.
Anyone have those digits?
