Also, anyone thinking/saying ambulatory wheelchair users — or people using walkers or canes — have given up, is dead wrong. Using devices to help them get around means the exact opposite: they refuse to give up; they are pushing their limits to avoid giving up. R E S P E C T !!

Bari Weiss’s latest hire for “60 Minutes,” whose major journalistic output includes smearing genocide victims and putting a target on the backs of reporters in Gaza, shows that the full-blown right-wing tabloidification of the television news program is charging ahead. Read more: interc.pt/4fCNeoh
Donald Trump used up all of our long-range missiles to drive up our gas prices. What a genius!

Abusers are everywhere. True story: today I was sexually harassed by a perp in a grocery store womens restroom. He emerged from the stall, looked at (shocked) me, and said "I'll give you $100 for a handjob". As a 69 y.o. woman, my many lifetime experiences of harassment / assault are all too common.
I am so effing tired of hearing about secondary abuse of rape survivors by defense attorneys. I can't even. Such despicable people who get paid to viciously victim blame and slut shame. So effing tired of fighting for survivors to be treated with dignity and respect.

The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.
I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

I'm overjoyed that they spent 30,000,000 to 35,000,000 dollars just to lose
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 7h agobtw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs
Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
Why are lobbies spending $70 million on primary races? Can anyone tell me?
Palestinian and Israeli protesters staged a sit-in at the Religious Zionist Party’s headquarters in Shoham on Wednesday. Demonstrators accused far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s party of funding outposts linked to settler attacks in the occupied West Bank.

Luxon - still treating the RNZAF like his own personal Air Force One. Listen up, Noddy. NZ IS doing it tough right now. If you take the piss, waste our taxes, FAIL to do your job when the Foreign Minister makes racist comments in the chamber, you're as useless as your Stooge in the speaker's Chair.
