I'm not saying that the Republican Party has entered a dark pact with Moloch, laying the lives and souls of untold millions on the altar of sacrifice and offering up their lifeblood in return for electoral victory, but I am saying that if they DID do that, their policy approach would be identical.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, who has documented illegal acts by Israeli forces, has been detained by the IDF and sent to the Sde Teiman camp, notorious for abuse and torture. The UK government must call for his immediate release and an end to Israel’s brutality.

“Cold” has committed another war crime. If you’re curious the piece takes four paragraphs to mention Israel’s role, only vaguely alludes to it once, and makes zero mention of the mounds of evidence starvation and exposure are a deliberate part of Israel’s strategy www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/w...

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...

it's going to be essential in the coming years that we do a better job separating the billionaire brunchlords who have run the journalism industry into the ground from the hardworking journalists who are doing their best in an utterly broken system and are actively being targeted by fascists

absurd and ridiculous own goal if you’re looking for some counterweight to Trump, it’s a slam dunk to put one of your most charismatic and media-savvy members in charge of oversight Connolly isn’t even terrible as a rep but he’s 74, has fucking cancer, and nobody knows who he is

Artist Rachel Kenaston shared an email with me saying UnitedHealth Group filed a DMCA claim to stop her from selling a merchandise with HER artwork of Luigi Mangione. There was no United logo on the design, just Luigi. How does that infringe on UnitedHealth IP or copyright at all?

Shocked. Shocked! (This article doesn't say, but I've seen claims on some sites that Netanyahu said the plan is to double the number of Israelis in the Golan - truth of that should be known in an hour or so.) www.jpost.com/breaking-new...
