It is not a "truce"
At least 556 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since a U.S.-brokered truce came into effect in October, including 24 on Wednesday and 30 on Saturday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The Gaza ceasefire began months ago. Here’s why the fighting persists.
Since the U.S.-brokered truce came into effect, four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza, with more injured.

Far too many people are saying, "We should do concentration camps better" but they should be saying, "We shouldn't have concentration camps at all."
Of course, these same people have not accepted that these are indeed concentration camps.

Bingo. The slinging blame at the people for an establishment that let Trump stomp all over it like a runaway train. Honey they set us up for Trump. They wanted him. It was never in our hands. It’s what we do now. These liberals know nothing but to justify their inaction by voting & calling it a day.
i had no interest in your critique of voters from an election that literally never should have taken place. if a man tries to overthrow the government, you don’t let him stay on the ballot!

this may be the single most insufferable thing about the radical centrist caucus - not just extending good faith to obviously bad faith people but demanding everyone else do the same and chiding them when they don’t
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

The failings here were (a) false confidence and hubris leading her to gamble on something which even she knew at the time would have catastrophic consequences if she lost and (b) plugging her ears and going la-la-la rather than engaging with the misunderstanding and bad model and learning from it

putting this here. Who’s bringing food to people with long covid who are too weak to cook or are you just condemning them for ordering delivery? Are you masking up to visit friends or making them sicker or just abandoning them? There is a precedence for community care in the face of gov abandonment!
For someone who brought meals to AIDS shut-ins who'd been erased by society, and who lost many friends in the 90's, this is simply astounding.
In a moral & ethical society, it would be free for anyone who wants it. We're the only industrialized nation without single payer/nationalized health care.

Every accusation made by the right wing has been a confession.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

post-viral illness can be avoided by preventing infection by the virus. if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you. don’t inhale without a filter. mask up.
More background on this: One of the reasons skiers are taking precautions like masking is because some athletes have had post-viral illness or chronic fatigue.
