Gaza babies ‘suffering from severe cold’ as Israel keeps blocking aid https://aje.news/pj3jyb

damn, declan shalvey possibly donating 400 dollars to the human goblin glinner would be nasty work. i suppose its none of my business other than the fact that i support trans people and glinner's entire existence is to do the exact opposite so donating a single cent to him would be disgusting imo.

They need to arrest the guy who did this before Noem just whisks him out of the state.

Parker Molloy going "why though" at an Isabelle mod and people absolutely melting down and accusing her of being furryphobic is fucking bananas y'all are so soft turn your phone off and go the goddamn fuck outside holy christ.

🇱🇧 BREAKING: Lebanon — Israel has carried out a wave of airstrikes across southern Lebanon & the Bekaa on sites it had publicly threatened earlier. Israeli warplanes struck a building in Kfar Hata (Saida) w/ at least five missiles, & hit a threatened site in Anan (Jezzine), where explosions were...

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

This has been the default imperialist position for centuries, so really the oddity was that brief period of comfortable unipolar hegemony where it seemed gauche to say it out loud. No clearer sign of late imperial anxiety than the contemporary return of this old ass monocle and pith helmet blather

Speaking of Arthuriana, here are some Knights of the Round Table figures I drew up for Patreon some time back.

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

If Mexico, who border the mad colossus that is the United States, can unequivocally condemn this as an action of aggression then the EU, sheltered by the Atlantic, can do the same and not offer this subservient drivel.

From Iran to Chile to Venezuela, US regime change isn’t history—it’s policy, writes Barbara Koeppel. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The US unilaterally and illegally using state violence in South America to achieve the goals of capital is a long-standing tradition

Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife @sweetbasil.bsky.social, who honestly had a tough year, but handled it all with grace. Always a wonderful spouse, and deserving of everything good that comes their way. Happy birthday love 😘

HEY, WRITERS! If you're looking at the new year as a time to revisit or revitalizes your practice, finish that lingering WIP, or learn a new skill, consider tackling those goals with the support of a coach. edidin.wordpress.com/coaching-for...

I hope the Palestinian kid at brown sues every single one of these ghoul motherfuckers into the ground. This has got to be an open and shut defamation case.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

Ahmed over here kicking ass

A deeply sad morning, with heartbreaking mass killings in Providence & Sydney. Innocent students killed in a classroom. At least 11 people by gunmen at a Hanukkah celebration. Too many guns here. Frightening levels of antisemitism globally. So much senseless violence & hate.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Farrah and Muhanad have a lot of integrity and upon finding out that a scammer was trying to trick other Gazans by saying he promoted their campaign (when he didn’t) they decided to change the URL so he couldn’t do that- so this is their new link to their fundraiser now.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Breaking | According to Lebanese sources, Israeli aircrafts launch an airstrike on Wadi Zefta in Southern Lebanon

I've been told Sameer Project is the "gold standard" for sending aid to Palestinians. Of many projects, this one is to keep Gazans warm this winter: shelter, warm clothing, blankets. Now they're in tattered tents w nothing, w/ Israel blocking aid entry despite ceasefire. chuffed.org/project/1491...

Universities will keep sexual predators on the faculty because their "hands are tied by tenure." Turns out protesting genocide is all it takes to loosen those unshakable chains.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
