This is extremely significant. Former 🇮🇱 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (2006-9) wrote in a May 22 Haaretz op-ed that Israel is: 🔴 intentionally waging a war of annihilation 🔴 premeditatedly adopting a policy of starvation 🔴 massacring civilians 🔴 making declarations of genocide A thread:

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

big splash

89% of all people on the internet know that I'm its smartassiest smartass. But I have no jokes on this. JKROWLING, TRUMP, STARMER, LABOUR, THE GOP -- THEY'RE ALL GETTING PPL BEATEN AND KILLED. BASTA! When is the fucking uprising? Don't say you're with Kady then go back to yr normal life.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

An entire party that's cooked its own brains over the social acceptability of doodads and snacks. Straws are for women. M&M's are woke. Bud Lite is DEI. Goya beans are freedom. LED light bulbs are gay. Adult diapers are manly. How do these people not drown in the shower?

Is RadiantJanet even real? OMFSM.

holy shit lolololol

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

trying to think of any recent dem who’s shown an iota of the anger or clarity that kennedy did here over a minimum wage increase. “what is it about working men and women that you find so offensive” has stuck with me for years youtu.be/SicFn8rqPPE

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States

This nails it

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

there's a term for that

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

In the GOP budget plan, 18.3 million kids could lose access to free school meals to give tax cuts to billionaires. We don't suffer from scarcity. We suffer from greed.

My statement on the baseless charges announced today against my friend and colleague @replamonica.bsky.social

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

Good morning !

None of this needs to happen, they’re just doing it to pay for tax cuts for very wealthy people

It’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. Today—and every day—we recognize that homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia are not just forms of hate; they are foundational tools of colonization.

It surely is remarkable that there's *no* public effort to justify the planned Republican tax cut

So, maybe I should have been better about naming so I would haven't to search until I found the previous code in Untitled1.ipynb, but in my defense,

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.
