Sylvia Rivera basically engaged in resistance btw. Don't forget that. Her actions are one of the major reasons why American trans people eventually made any gains in human rights to begin with.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The Ms Rachel hate makes me sad but it’s also fascinating. All she’s doing is treating Palestinian children as worthy of respect and kindness, and she’s doing it with a smile on her face.

I think we’re so used to toxic positivity that we are taken aback by the real deal.

Socialist Cuba keeps training young Palestinians as doctors, while the capitalist and white supremacist West keeps backing the genocide and occupation of the Palestinian people.

Cuba continues to show the world what true solidarity looks like. 🇨🇺❤️🇵🇸

A large group of more than 100 Palestinian medical students pose for a photo with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel inside a bright hall at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana. The students—many of them wearing white medical coats and black-and-white keffiyehs—surround Díaz-Canel, who is also wearing a keffiyeh around his shoulders. Everyone smiles warmly, with several students making peace signs and leaning in close together. The background shows lush indoor greenery, wooden paneling, and reflective black marble floors. The atmosphere feels proud and joyful, representing Cuba’s ongoing solidarity with Palestine and its revolutionary commitment to educating and training Palestinian youth as doctors.

A screenshot of a post from @PresidenciaCuba on twitter. The post reads:

> “🇨🇺 | More than 100 young Palestinians studying Medicine in #Cuba were this afternoon at the Palace of the Revolution, where they were received by President @DiazCanelB, in an afternoon filled with emotions and solidarity toward #Palestina.”

Below the text is a photo of the students posing with President Miguel Díaz-Canel in the Palace of the Revolution. The group fills the hall, smiling and standing close together under bright lighting and surrounded by tall indoor plants. The image celebrates Cuba’s internationalist solidarity and its tradition of offering free education to students from oppressed nations, especially Palestinians.

The monstrosity of this truly can't be explained. So many young people are gonna grow up with their loved ones, this is gonna have devastating consequences in the society as a whole. This is what Biden, Kamala, Trump, Vance, Starmer, Lammy, Sunak, etc. have caused.

#NationalComingOutDay
Coming out is a process.
For me that process truly began when Section 28 was passing into law.
Gay men and lesbians were told that we were ‘less than’, that our relationships were pretend.
I needed to stand up.
So I came out.
And never looked back.

Me on a Stop the Clause (aka Section 28) protest in Leeds in 1987.

Ms. Rachel coming for Obama 👏

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Esteban Ocon should not have raced in the 2022 Miami GP. Of course if a driver tries to hide symptoms they need to take some responsibility, but it's also up to the medics employed by the sport to spot these things. Concussion is incredibly dangerous.

www.motorsport.com/f1/news/este...

The one-time grand prix winner, who made his F1 debut in 2016, tackled the subject in an in-depth talk with French YouTube channel Legend, when interviewer Guillaume Pley brought up French rugby player Sebastien Chabal suffering from partial amnesia – which may be linked to a number of concussions during his career.

“I’ve had some big crashes,” Ocon said. “Touch wood, those crashes have never been too violent, despite some of them exceeding 40G and nearly knocking me out. Sometimes my eyesight got blurry, or I had a headache for three, four days…”

“I remember, the next morning I was in the shower and I collapsed. I lost my balance and fell, I was not well at all. I managed, starting from last, to finish eighth in that race. I was peeing red, that was not great!”

I need westerners to understand: "Pro-democracy" "anti-authoritarian" are just covers for imperialist stooges, seeking to sell out their countries to the West. They seek to lock their own people into arrangements where the wealth is plundered from them, with only a small comprador class benefitting.

Apparently our newest Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote to fucking Netanyahu for help in overthrowing the government of her own country dawg

The population of Venezuela needs international protection against the widespread and systematic attack to which the Venezuelan regime subjects it. This is demonstrated by the report dated May 29, 2018, submitted by the Organisation of American States to the International Criminal Court. This has served as the basis for nine states, including Argentina, to file complaints against the regime before that international body. We deeply appreciate this effort, which is decisive for the outcome of the Venezuelan tragedy.

I am convinced that the international community, in accordance with the responsibility to protect doctrine, is called upon to provide Venezuelans with the necessary support to bring about the regime change that is urgently needed to restore national and international security. Therefore, I have recently sent letters to several of the world’s leading figures to promote before the United Nations Security Council the adoption of effective protection measures for Venezuela by fostering regime change, a step that necessarily entails strengthening international security. Today I want to ask Israel and Argentina to contribute their expertise and influence to advance a sound and urgent decision-making process in the Security Council.

Such measures are imperative in the face of a hemispheric security hotspot like the one currently posed by the regime oppressing Venezuela. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration have certified that the current refugee crisis of people fleeing Venezuela is the largest in the history of the Americas. Argentina is an example of this crisis, having welcomed hundreds of thousands of our compatriots—a gesture for which Venezuelans will always be grateful. However, we must be aware that without a change of regime in our country, hemispheric and global security will be at risk.
