Whilst it is absolutely true that the lawfare deployed against charities in particular, but also many other businesses, is an existential threat to them, I think it is also fair for us to be furious that the choice is always "fuck them trannies" and continued existence.

I get the anger – but this shit is really hard. Designedly so.

Das Womens Institute soll scheißen gehen und am besten den Namen ändern in Terf Institute.
Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

From the point of view of being an Actual Historian I just find the idea of needing to be "proud" of history baffling. Identifying with the history of a nation, which is in and of itself a made up thing, is just weird. It is also something that usually corresponds with not studying history.

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Iman. Iman has two children Zakaria, 5 and Elias, 3 and is pregnant. She has a high risk pregnancy and may develop blood clots so she has to have injections of Clexane daily to prevent this. She’s living in a tent with no bathroom.

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

He suspended the delivery of exactly two weapons shipments and unsuspended one of them within two months, to be precise, when the law actually obligated him to suspend more than 800,000,000 USD worth of military assistance immediately according to internal USAID and State Department assessments.
Willfully, no. He did suspend deliveries of weaponry, and tried to force Netanyahu to stop. All he got in return was an insincere promise to slow down the massacres. Congress did nothing but obstruct Biden’s efforts.
