NYPD officers attended a training telling them that Palestinian symbols like the watermelon & the keffiyeh, as well as phrases such as “settler colonialism” & “all eyes on Rafah," were antisemitic.

Shameful that so many pushed the IHRA definition of "antisemitism," which was used in this training.

For a lot of trans Catholics, Pope Francis offered hope for acceptance and at a minimum, dignity for us. He was a good man in a deeply flawed institution and it was clear he was always trying his best to move the church in a better direction.

In April 1983, Reagan declared the first Child Abuse Prevention Month as he slashed social programs & expanded the family policing system that itself abuses children. 42 yrs later, the gov is STILL using this playbook.

Engineers in Chicago have created carbon-negative building materials using seawater, electricity, and CO2. The technique mimics how corals build reefs, and generates substances similar to concrete while permanently sequestering carbon dioxide. buff.ly/Dn8EiXA

we’re so grateful for the strong reaction people are having to Vivian Wilson’s convo w Ella Yurman ❤️‍🔥 @teenvogue.com

it feels worth noting that Elon Musk spent a chunk of the day of his daughter’s first cover story tweeting anti-trans propaganda mixed with anti-journalist memes

Musk ran with the fact that some of the people charged with the Tesla vandalism may be gender non-conforming, suggesting that it pointed to a larger phenomenon of violence perpetrated by trans people.

The US military just purged their website of mentions of the Holocaust, 9/11 remembrance, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention to align with their new “anti-DEI” policies.

#OtD 20 Mar 1927 2500 Dalits (sometimes called "untouchables") marched in Mahad, India, to claim their right to use public water tanks. The protesters drank from the tank and left.

This case should be a wake up call. Our client has been disappeared and locked up solely based on his tattoos. It is naive to think this kind of incarceration with no chance to refute the charges against you will be limited to asylum seekers. If this goes unchallenged, who could be next?

#Druids survived the Christianization of #Ireland & the notion that #StPatrick driving snakes out of Ireland represents the violent suppression of #paganism is among many other myths that need to be debunked & #StPatricksDay is actually an Irish American creation...
