Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.

The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.
Gaza City officially in famine, says global hunger monitor
Gaza City and surrounding areas are officially suffering from famine, and it will likely spread, a global hunger monitor determined on Friday, an assessment that will escalate pressure on Israel to allow more aid into the Palestinian enclave.

This is NOT just cutting access to abortion. It’s limiting access to CANCER screening, birth control, screening for sexually transmitted infections.

In a dissenting opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “Today’s decision is likely to result in tangible harm to real people.”
The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority allowed South Carolina to defund Planned Parenthood, in the justices’ latest assault on reproductive health care in America.

The permanence of the works in “RESISTERHOOD” at the Leslie-Lohman Museum contrasts with the realities of the transitioning body that Young Joon Kwak has cast, which, as the exhibition text notes, exists in “states of emergence and indeterminacy.”
Young Joon Kwak’s Luminescent Bodies
The artist’s magnificent, rhinestone-encrusted cast sculptures tell multiple stories that look at contemporary queer and trans existence.

For those not following the drama earlier, it's for sharing this piece advocating for nonviolence (but not being judgy about how targeted people respond either). And saying some things about governmental/ institutional violence.

Be very aware that America is now a fascist state where political opposition and citizens are kidnapped and disappeared for exercising their human and constitutional rights.
It is no longer business as usual no matter how much the media and people want to pretend otherwise.

International Crab Day is April 26, so there’s no better time to put some respect on the Crab Museum in Margate for its unwavering public support for trans rights after the UK Supreme Court ruled that a woman is defined by “biological sex” rather than gender identity.
How a Tiny Crab Museum in the UK Stood Up For Trans Rights
Leaning on its expertise in biology, the museum said that “there are no binaries in nature” and called the recent anti-trans ruling “an abuse of science.”

The only way to interpret this is that the Trump administration is trying to close public schools.

Which has been an open goal of conservatives for decades. They want to privatize education to resegregate on race and gender. And to ensure some people can’t access education at all.
🚨 BREAKING: US Department of Education has started the process to TERMINATE all federal funding for Maine K-12 schools. This is in direct response to Maine Dept of Ed refusing to comply with Trump's Anti-Trans Executive Orders.
