Horrifying firsthand account. Israel did this to an American journalist.

Who is Jewish.

With a Jewish publication.

I'm of Jewish descent. Family escaped pogroms. Survived Nazis. Fought Nazis.

This is what we were taught to "never forget."

"Never again" means Israel too.
“I announced…I’m a journalist, I’m press.” The woman to my left hissed, “We don’t give a fuck,” and the other dug her nails into my scalp and pulled me by my hair across the port.”

U.S. allies abducting and torturing American journalists isn’t a problem to this administration.

We should restructure American journalism so that the second sentence stops being true.

That second sentence is also probably one of the most important themes of the last few years.
I wrote in february that the administration had an apartheid refugee policy. As usual though in this business it's better to be wrong in a way that powerful people like rather than right in a way they don't. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Your system repetitively struggles to differentiate between sexual and artistic nudity, I do not trust it to effectively see the difference between non consensual and consensual. You are therefore enadgering all adult content creators.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Whether you are Ezra Klein or some dude with a large audience flipping his lid because of a warning to not put names on a protest sheet. All of it is the need for emotional processing. And with many middle and high income men make that processing the job of the general public.

It’s not lazy to rest.

It’s not wrong to prioritize your health and well being.

Capitalism and ableism have trained us to view slowing down as a failure.

We treat disabled people, children and the elderly as expendable.

We assign worth based on productivity.

It’s wrong. We all have value.

Thank you Rep Crockett!

LMAO he's embarrassing

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

The youth are not going to save us. Black people are not going to save us. Women are not going to save us. You don't get to sit back and let marginalized groups "save you" just because they are fighting for their existence. We save us. That's the only way this works.

The article also goes into detail about more kinds of religious books that are also exempt, so tariffing other books is only a "freedom of the press" violation, not also an "establishment of religion" violation, but it's still bad.

People really need to get hip to the fact that family dynamics aren’t relegated to the home but scale to communities and the national political environment.

Anyone with experience can tell you exactly why Trump and MAGA function the way they do and why so many people enable them to be worse.

I need to say something on using ai imagery in resistance posting and visuals.
The exact same mindset that tech bros bring to justify using gen ai instead of supporting human creators is being used to carelessly dismantle the United States federal infrastructure and social support right now.
