The only light in Gaza right now is from Israeli bombs.

Israel has cut off electricity and water to 2.1 million Palestinians — resuming its genocidal war and pushing Gaza toward total humanitarian collapse.

La crisis demográfica que nos anunciaban llegó, con innumerables ancianos viviendo, y muriendo, solos y abandonados. El problema supera por mucho la capacidad de respuesta del Estado. Mi reportaje especial de hoy www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/loc...
“¿Qué puedo hacer?”: crisis de ancianos abandonados supera la capacidad del gobierno para atenderla
Más de 200,000 adultos mayores viven solos, muchos de ellos dependiendo de la caridad de extraños, mientras las autoridades, con el problema ya encima, ensayan respuestas

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Aaron Bushnell died by self-immolation in protest of the Gaza genocide a year ago today. His memory should stir a fire in our souls, and force us to evaluate our commitment to a better world.

As we said, over and over again, this was never about “protecting women” in sports or bathrooms. It was always about removing trans people from public life. The anti-DEI bullshit? A ploy to roll back civil rights. Next, they’ll push LGBT people back in their closets, & women back into the kitchens.
Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.
