After watching the difference between Israel bombing EVERY HOSPITAL in Gaza INTENTIONALLY for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, and what seems like a Iranian stray missile hitting an Israeli hospital (which is bad, too!) - I'm done with Western media. This isn't journalism. It is complicity in genocide.

Replaying Brexit mistakes, play for play? They were bad then. Now? There is no excuse. Human rights exist to prevent against the rise of fascism. The only people who want to remove them are fascists and those they dupe into helping them:

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

It's notable that the only student speech frequently shut down on university campuses is a) pro-Palestine b) pro-trans-rights. The OfS seems deeply unconcerned about that speech being limited. In fact, they want academics who oppose those positions to have the right to 'shock and offend' students.

between dobbs and this, it seems clear to me that the next step at the state level will be making access to abortion, and possibly even contraception, illegal for anyone under the age of 18. if minors do not have a stake in their sexual/bodily autonomy in this case, why should they in any case?

NEW: As bombs fell in Tehran, AIPAC got to work—contacting members of Congress to urge them to support Israel's actions. One member got 100 phone calls. It paid off: nearly 80 members released messages of support, including 28 that explicitly used AIPAC's preferred "stand with Israel" language.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

In 2002, Netanyahu urged the US to invade Iraq. He got his wish. The cost: Hundreds of thousands dead. Trillions in taxes. And he was helped by some of the most overconfident, blood-thirsty figures in American public life. Here's 10 of them who were wrong back then, and are now back at it again:

There were millions of adults on US streets in '03 protesting the invasion plans. Largest protests in world history. Politicians on both sides voted to invade anyway & the movement had no plan to escalate until demands were met. Dems turned the movement into a PAC and Bush got re-elected. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A wave of legislation and executive actions have targeted transgender people, particularly teens, by stripping away gender-affirming care and other essential rights, but intersex people and anyone who doesn’t conform to strict sex binaries also stand to lose something as a result.

One thing that's psychologically fascinating about Bluesky is in the absence of an algorithm you're quite sincerely thrown into a wild west marketplace of ideas and have to survive on, uh... merit. A lot of journalists are finding their ideas aren't popular. Rather, they are just well paid.
