Been saying this for awhile, but will repeat it for emphasis: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Short thread on the recent ruling from the Supreme Court.
Reading the text of the ruling itself, it’s clear that the intention is that this judgement should be taken to be very narrowly scoped to just the definition of “woman” for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. It is not intended…

A reminder that calling out Israel about their genocide of Palestinians is NOT antisemitic.
I'm Jewish, and I think it goes against Jewish tradition to *not* call it out. "Zachor" (remember) and "never again" are phrases used by Jews specifically about the Holocaust. Yet here we are.

Holy wow. Now this makes sense.
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Joe Rogan claims the U.S. spent $27 million on ‘gift bags’ for undocumented immigrants. We take a closer look at the facts: food, school supplies, and resources to help migrants build stable lives in their home countries—something Joe himself says he supports. So why does he make it sound so absurd?
