The stat that blows my mind is that Israel killed more civilians in the first week after October 7 than Hamas has killed since it was founded 40 years ago
worth noting that, for the number of deaths of children on & since the 7th of october, a ratio of 5:50 is actually disproportionately in favour of israeli kids.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I would read the hell out of a deeply reported piece on how the media/political elite addiction to Twitter is shaping their views, which in turn shape the views of millions of people. It's a total reality-warper.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

This is quite a video. Locals screaming “get out of here you fucking Nazis” at armed ICE agents who hop in their car and quickly drive away.
ICE is doing real harm, but it is also far far FAR weaker—and more deeply hated—than Stephen Miller wishes, and its weakness is really showing.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

I challenge the methodology in this chart b/c there is nothing to distinguish online dating via mobile app (demeaning, soul-draining, numbers game wherein profit is leeched from your suffering) vs online dating via flirting in the DMs (principled, skill-based, derived from human traditions of rizz)
The reason people do NOT opt out of online dating, despite its engineered horrors, is because increasingly it's the only dating. Period.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

Transphobia really does just boil down to the fear that trans people are trying to trick you.
What it sounds like when philosophers who are also anti-trans activists submit an amicus brief to a US court where they argue for banning trans girls and women from women's sports.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.
The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

I've read Ken Klippenstein blog and the Heritage Foundation paper with the insane proposal to designate trans criminals as terrorists and i've seen the comments made by Trump officials and yes it is all bad.
But they are NOT proposing to label all trans people as terrorists.
