Serious people aren't in charge, nor do we have public opinion currently

Being right doesnt matter, we also have to win

I also wonder this quite often, especially when I think of the people I know who have received actual death and bomb threats over this, while Link has been banned for noticing someone died.

Bari Weiss wants trans people dead so badly that she was willing to doxx children over it.

Any discussion of her without including that as her origin story is bullshit.

I wonder if there's a Bsky poster who was solely responsible for the Jamie Reed story even making it to the "Free Press" in the first place and I also wonder what happens if u ask the mods or CEO why he's allowed to even fuckin post here

The "free press" also launders genocide apologia for Netanyahu

Netanyahu shared a video from Olivia Reingold arguing that it doesn’t count as starvation if the kids in Gaza had preexisting conditions

The 14-year-old boy was featured in the same CNN story as another child
"suffering from malnourishment." The original caption didn't mention that last May, he sustained a traumatic head injury amid what SHMS News Agency, a Gaza-based outlet, called "an Israeli shell" explosion.

"The Free Press" by Bari Weiss, first became a major publication when they laundered the "whistleblower" complaints of Jamie Reed, who lied about the practices of the pediatric gender clinic at the University of Washington in St Louis and led to AG Missouri Bailey trying to ban all trans healthcare.

This is how "The Free Press" came to be.

Now, Bari Weiss is about to be the editor in chief of CBS news.

Until we make anti-trans political agitation unprofitable, trans people will never be safe.

Literally anyone discussing Bari Weiss without including that she built her career on laundering trans genocide is also conducting trans genocide.

My friend Wylder has a terrifying tooth abscess and has started feeling system decline.

I have experienced this. I ended up with a jaw infection that ate a hole in my bone, put me in so much pain I went temporarily blind, and could have killed me.

Please help him. I'm so afraid for him. 💔💔💔

Health took a dive yesterday afternoon (probably night before tbh).

Send healing energy, good wishes and, if m able, funds?

I need to continue the abscess treatment plan ASAP. Still only had the 1 root canal.

In addition to food costs, they desperately need $200 weekly to continue Wajih's treatment for the next month, totalling $800.

They also need $800 for a tent, so that Ahmed and Mayar are not sleeping on the street and so Wajih and Mila can sleep with their parents.

Please, please help.

They are eating as little as they can to save up for Wajih's treatment.

"There is food. My children are the most important. Mila needs special milk, which costs $100 per week per can. Wajih needs food every day, $20 per day. My wife and I manage with one meal a day, which costs $25."

When I asked if I could use our conversation to make this post, Ahmed replied:

"Of course, Alex. I will do anything if needed—any scan, anything that helps my children stay alive."

They currently lack even a tent to sleep in due to fleeing again but Ahmed and his wife Mayar have prioritized Wajih's treatment above all else.

"We are now on the sidewalk. I took Wajih and Mila to sleep at some friends’ place, and my wife and I sleep on the sidewalk."

Today, Wajih turns 4 years old.

He is sick and has no food.

Please help him have at least a happy birthday.

Please help me show him he is loved.

Please.
