Dear Media: Halting all aid to Gaza is not "pressuring Hamas." Collective punishment is a war crime. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime. Withholding medical care is a war crime. None of this is remotely controversial actually. Israel is doing war crimes, not "pressuring Hamas."

like a month ago a lot of people started making this point - from the left - that anti-trans legislation was absurd because there weren't that many trans people, and like... it seemed very obvious that the unintended takeaway from that was going to be "oh not a lot of votes on the line"

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Fiery speech from Gov Pritzker raising the alarm and urging us to fight back against the trump/musk administration. He’s sounding the alarm because it took the Nazi’s a little over a month to dismantle a constitutional government. But with all of us together, can fight this because we must.
