Looking back on when I first heard of Greta doing climate protests and being promoted by establishment Democrats, and thinking that she was just another liberal darling. But it turns out she has ideals, conviction, and clear messaging; a combination politicians can't stand.

"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?

Hamas sources have made clear to Drop Site that they believe the only path to a brokered agreement to end the genocide rests with Trump. The alternative is an indefinite continuation of the armed struggle against a U.S.-backed Israeli military.

If Israel thinks they can steamroll Trump like they did Biden and just keep doing a genocide... Trump is a piece of shit but he will almost certainly cut off weapons if you betray him. He expects something in return for his big peace deal, and feels more emotions than embarrassment; such as rage.

God willing, this will be the end of the war.
Today, a preliminary ceasefire agreement was announced between the parties, and our hearts are full of hope that this will be the beginning of peace — after all the destruction, pain, and loss.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

Digital illustration of a paIistinian woman, wounded with tears streaming down her face only to be blocked by a bright blue butterfly that covers her mouth and most of her face. Blue chains, explosions, waffles, blood, paIestinian flags being erased in the background- their color “bluing” out with the notification “deleted account” over them. Like and repost notifications scattered throughout different sized wrapped bodies. Over her head, a single dollar bill is wrung out, dripping blood down onto her. Below reads, “waffles.” Commentary on censorship.

I am Black American. My people were enslaved, segregated, and degraded for hundreds of years. There was a time when it was considered politically untenable to abolish slavery and legally dismantle Jim Crow. It got done. So, yes, a free Palestine is a political possibility. It is inevitable.
