People currently trying to score political points are doing so over the corpses of over 20,000 children killed by Biden’s bombs. If you didn’t speak up then don’t dare pretend to care about Palestinians now. You want Trump to kill/cleanse human beings so you can score cheap political points.

Sednaya prison outside of Damascus is called the human slaughterhouse. The things that I read happened there will never leave me. Just the absolute most twisted things a human can come up with. The fact that we’re counting down the minutes to it being obliterated is beyond. Just incredible.

The rebel sweep in #Syria is moving astonishingly fast. Aleppo & Hama taken in a week. This territory was fought over street by street for years. Homs is next in line. Images circulating of fleeing residents who clearly don’t trust govt forces to hold it. After that - a straight road to Damascus.

Let's get him a fainting couch. He's shaken by people pointing out that our media shows more sympathy for anxious suburban moms and their unease with pronouns than trans suicide rates, healthcare being stripped, and trans people's ability to exist in public (like, use the bathroom) being restricted.

You cannot sacrifice people to the authoritarian machine in hopes it will stop. It never stops. You’ll only embolden it and lose yourself Trans people, gay people, women, people of color, Palestinians, the poor, people being oppressed around the world. Their struggle is interconnected with our own
