If you’ve watched live streamed genocide for two years and are still blaming a right wing government instead of acknowledging that this is what Israel was built to do, you are doing a form of genocide denial. All forms of Zionism are morally abhorrent and should not be tolerated.

An Israel with equal rights is not Israel in anyway that matters—Israel is a project of genocide of the Palestinian people (and beyond), and anything short of its abolition for the creation of a single Palestinian state with equal rights is an endorsement of that Zionist project.

To have a state where one type of people get more rights means there will be other people in it who are second class citizens. This has been true for Palestinians with Israeli citizenship from its inception—a “two state solution” with an ethnostate is an endorsement of apartheid.

Anyone that thinks that the settler colonial apartheid state of Israel should exist is a Zionist, and it doesn’t matter how much handwringing they do now that the holocaust of the Palestinian people that Israel’s founding was based on is impossible to unsee. It’s that simple!

As seagull nesting season begins and we start to see plenty of chicks on chimneys over the next few months, it's a good time to remember that it's totally normal for them to fall from nests to lower areas of roofs, to cry (a lot) and to be on their own for periods of time

A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir.
This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th.
This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

everybody knows that the second a person with a penis expresses some form of gender variance, they get downgraded—be it gay men, bi men, drag queens… the more gender variant you are, the more privileges you lose, the more you get harassed, the more you get othered. trans women most of all

something that really bothers me is the insistence from TERFs that trans women move through the world as men and are treated as men, which is obvious nonsense

Israel just killed all humanitarian services for Palestinians. Medical, food, water, everything. The genocide continues. The scale of Israel's relentless murder and terror is unspeakable - a blight on humanity like very few evils in history.

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.
