“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Tweet from Quds News Network @QudsNen
BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

there's no such thing as "abusing a right" either you have rights or you don't

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

There's a UK adult games creator on reddit who's been rejected from 36(!) and counting UK banks and unable to process the earned £90,000. Debanking for adult creators continues to be a real threat.

the more i think about it, bari weiss running CBS is direct proof there’s not really a meritocracy in any real way under capitalism. the opposite is true in this system, failing upwards is the default the more a country becomes an oligarchy

If your wrestling gimmick involves a hat and your opponent puts it on, you have (unfortunately) been owned. I don't make the rules.

the net effect of this will be to shift the Overton window left btw, the free press is about to score some truly humiliating own goals by focusing on how cool zohran os

The Free Press framing of DSA as a Dem Tea Party is also indicative of their willingness to lie.

DSA has what? One member of Congress now? They don't have anything like Koch money. Also, what conspiracies and violent rhetoric do they spread?

It's not analogous. Bari's narrative here is a lie.

How the DSA Became the Democrats' Tea Party
Zohran Mamdani isn't the fringe anymore. He represents the ideological center around which the party is...

No immigrants are going to actually take this offer (which is a pittance at best) but even if they did Trump would never pay. It’s bait. He’s setting a trap.

Trump Offers to Pay Immigrants Who Deport Themselves

The administration says the program to pay migrants $1,000 once their travel home is confirmed will save money because of how expensive it is to find, detain and deport people.

As an aside if anyone says something along the lines of "you can't judge him by modern standards" first off you totally can, it's legal and dope.

2nd of all he was imprisoned by the royalty of Spain because of his brutality and inhumanity.

So even by the standards of his time Columbus was a cunt.

Suddenly unlocked a memory:

I go home after a show in which I called a spot where I miss a Bronco Buster, and it left huge painful bruises on the backs of my thighs.

When I got home, my fiancé smacked my butt just hard enough to jiggle my thighs and cause me to immediately burst into tears lmao
