When we get a president who is not owned by Israel, the U.S. needs to send a trillion dollars to Palestine.

Al Jazeera English @aljazeera.com · 1d

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

As I understand it, the ‘brains develop until they’re 25’ factoid simply means brains continue developing indefinitely, and 25 was the end point of the studies only because it was an age that everyone understood was well into adulthood. We need fewer credulous idiots giving credence to bigots.

Part 2 of the Gender Clinic Files is out, looking at the impact if Cass recommendations for adult services were introduced, affecting more than 32k young trans adults just from the current waiting list.

Huge thanks to @wearequeeraf.com & @whatthetrans.com for their work on this series.

Majority of adults waiting for Trans+ healthcare are under 25

Two-thirds of Trans+ people would lose care if all Cass Review recommendations implemented

Being right wing must be so fucking embarrassing. Awwww, poor baby 🥺 Was it hard for you to hear in kindergarten that we should all be nice to each other and share? 🥺 Did the mean teacher say you weren’t allowed to steal the other kids’ lunches? 🥺 Yeah? 🥺 You need a billionaire to kiss it better? 🥺

Misty in her Witch Costume - Silly Artwork

Getting ready for Nightmare Night, she asks the main 5 who she should dress up as and Pipp suggested as a witch. With a bit of craftwork Izzy and Misty pulled off a pretty butterfly themed Witch costume for her.
Hope y'all enjoy this artwork!

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Trump wants the power of the wrathful God of the Old Testament to smite anyone who displeases him from the heavens without consequence. He wants to normalize being be judge, jury, and executioner and he will eventually try it domestically. Now he’s testing to see who will follow his illegal orders.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.
