If we do not act immediately and at scale, more children, more families, more entire communities will starve.

The IFRC reiterates its call for immediate, sustained, and unhindered aid access across Gaza.

This a humanitarian emergency.

Aid must reach Gaza. Now.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

If “changing your sex” were impossible, they wouldn’t need to ban it.

Trans kids' rights aren't "complicated." They're not "nuanced."

Protect trans kids, unconditionally. Full stop.

The announcement of the humanitarian pauses in parts of Gaza offers a vital, though temporary, opportunity to deliver aid.

We hope these pauses create safe windows for humanitarians to reach those in need, but let’s be clear: the humanitarian situation remains dire.

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

Gotta be honest all the Democrats climbing over each other to demonize trans kids really sucks.

Also I will never vote for Buttigieg now either.
Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.

To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.

A reporter very seriously asked me yesterday to respond to the public officials who have claimed the Texas flood was “an act of god” and when I tell you I had to summon every ounce of strength to respond professionally. We simply can’t be doing this.

Stop infantilizing disabled people!! Acting like like disabled folks don't have sex, need abortions, or parent is so deeply dehumanizing.

Another day has passed and nothing from the acting head of FEMA in a disaster that killed 100+ people and I haven’t seen any journalists ask the administration where he is…???

Knowing who is currently leading FEMA strikes me as something the public has a vital interest in…
Has anyone seen David Richardson, the current head of FEMA? Where is he? I've not seen or heard a word from him during this flood? They've sent Noem out instead which is not usually how this goes.

People know who these folks are. They have friends and family. Also, there are graphic designers who can repurpose these with FASCISTS as the title and circulate them across social media.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp

As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.

This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Hard to interpret this any other way than “GHF was basically functioning as a honey pot that attracted civilians into range to be more readily shot at.”

Which, needless to say, is NOT how legitimate aid organizations (who are massively condemning this) work.
Real aid groups are calling on the U.S./Israeli-backed “aid” group GHF to be shut down. At least 500 people have been killed by Israeli troops trying to get aid near the sites.
Israeli, US-backed Gaza aid group must end, say 170 charities
The call from some of the world's top aid organisations and charities comes after reports of soldiers killing hundreds of of Palestinians at aid sites.

I don't think we talk enough about how dignity is also a human right.

Food, water, shelter, education, health care, representation...all of those are human rights that everyone should receive regardless of who they are. But it's also a right to not have to beg for them.
