Iran’s bombing of Soroka Hospital is a war crime. Israel’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, Al-Nasr Children's Hospital, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital & Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Gaza are war crimes. It’s that simple.

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Reading that Laura Loomer runs our Mid East policy & Pete Hegseth, the Sec Def with the Crusader tattoos, says the only book he believes is the Bible, & I'm reminded that in 1973 Tom Lehrer left the music biz because “political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
