This. Speaking the host’s language under the least hospitable conditions was Zelenskyy’s diplomacy, more meaningful than a stupid suit and tie. Already if you heard his NBC interview on February 16, you heard how exhausting it is to beg and explain in a third language.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Over 50% of trans people are sexual assault survivors. Rape is how patriarchy punishes violations of its rules. There is no way cutting the people most likely to be sexually assaulted from sexual assault services is "necessary" for the "greater good."

something i’m not seeing those who are insistent that this was a “necessary” move by rainn address: what will rainn do when they are told that acknowledging the gender disparity of sexual abuse is also “dei?” remove all mention of women? or will that be over their line? why/why not?

A friend who still gets the print NYT tells me this ran on page A1 of the Sunday paper. This story. Amid the shredding of the civil service, a U.S. foreign-policy volte face into an embrace with Putin, and an unaccountable billionaire grasping at our Social Security data. _This_ story.

Billions of dollars were donated to international organizations during the genocide, all based on images of Palestinian suffering, but Palestinians still have no food or shelter. Where is the international pressure to let this aid through? Otherwise everybody is complicit in fraud and genocide
