Sama'a's daughters have never known peace, but we can give them at least some small sliver of relief from hunger. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/157569

"Free speech wins!" Renea Gamble said as she made her way out of the courtroom Wednesday. Fairhope, Ala cops arrested Gamble, who was holding a "No Dick-Tator" sign at a #NoKings protest in October, for refusing to remove her inflatable penis costume. ✊️🇺🇸

Odai is a child shot by the IDF. He has suffered for 2 years with no proper access to unaffordable & scarce healthcare under Israel's genocidal siege. You can help bring him some hope on his birthday by sharing and donating:

Trump’s Ex-Surgeon General Trashes RFK Jr. Linking Tylenol to Autism: ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Irresponsible’

Oh my dear god this was absolutely preventable and to scratch your head asking “how this could ever happen” is a fucking cop out. We know why this keep happening Gun violence is the number one reason why children die in this country. What the fuck are we even doing? This news is devastating.

News used to be better

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

My heart is breaking watching my child Ahmed suffer 💔 His condition is worsening, and I can’t afford his medicine. For 3 days, no donations. He cries in pain and can’t sleep 😢 I feel helpless… we need £150 urgently before it’s too late. Please save my child 🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

What can I say to you, world? Should I tell you that the most precious thing in my life might leave me within hours? Or should I tell you that I am powerless to help save his life? My beloved Arafat is going to die and I am helpless. I beg you to donate if you can. 😭 gofund.me/df8249776

Trevor Noah at his best. Just seeing this which is still relevant today! “They voted for Trump… then realized.” The nightmarish sequel nobody asked for but everyone saw coming except, apparently, them. 👀 #USDemocracy #Pinks

The challenge with writing Victor Frankenstein as a bratty sub is that while he’s very smart he’s not wise at all and is thus likely to start demanding anatomical impossibilities simply because he’s managed those before (but not on himself)./Vicreature fic

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

"Alligator Alcatraz" already has a bad reputation for its poor treatment of immigrants. But often, things at the facility allegedly get even worse. Things like reports of beatings and confinement while exposed to the elements. It never stopped.

It's a great location, Drumtroddan. There's only one stone standing now, like a cowled figure watching over the landscape.

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Every time a Democrat mentions how to talk to "ordinary people" they mean "how I was told to talk by a handful of weirdo consultants in DC with gross fixations on throwing certain groups under the bus and who would not last a day in an ordinary job interacting with ordinary people."

As a woman married to a man, I have to maintain that while cishet marriage has thus far BEEN foundational to patriarchy, it does not HAVE to be. If you want to start calling it partnership then great, because that’s what it should be and that’s how I treat it. If I couldn’t, I’d get divorced.

Seems like a really fucking bad idea

Just like self driving cars, the discourse has been so throughly poisoned by Musk’s slapdash efforts that people are talking past each other. Other data centers do not power themselves exclusively via onsite gas turbines! Musk isn’t even allowed to do this, it’s illegal but he does it anyways!

In general I am kind of fascinated by this attempt to rewrite the bedrock of patriarchy as some egalitarian love relationship based on mutual respect

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Enough of this shit. It's not "advocacy speak," it's basic respect for others. Stop trying to moderate on basic equality and justice to appeal to people. HUMANIZE them so they aren't put off by it.

The prose in JAPANESE GOTHIC is delicious. Truly great writing.

There are many reasons I believe in the separation of Church and State and "you can't disagree with the head of state, that's against theology" is probably the most prominent "absolutely not" scenario.
