Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif.
They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses.
To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues:
Their blood is on your hands, too.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Every day, at least 10 children in Gaza lose one or both of their legs.
Read that, and then read it again.
In the coming reckoning, the politicians who facilitated this will go to prison, and the journalists who cheered it on will have their careers and reputations destroyed.

it's incredible to think that Zohran Mamdani's father might not have been exposed to Marx (and who knows, maybe Zohran wouldn't have ended up socialist?) if not for FBI agents surveilling and questioning him in 1965.
incredibly long-form self-own by the FBI.

Incredible scene.
FBI: Do you like Marx?
Mhmood Mamdani: I haven’t met him.
FBI: No, no, he’s dead.
MM: Wow, what happened?
FBI: No, no, he died long ago. ... He wrote that poor people should not be poor.
MM: Sounds amazing.

This BBC statement defames Bobby Vylan.
"Death to the IDF" is not antisemitic.
Declaring this to be so is antisemitic, because it conflates Jewish people as a whole with a genocidal army.
People's fury is directed at heinous crimes, not the ethnicity of the perpetrators.

If the only political choices people see are just varying brands of establishment neo-liberalism that benefit purely the wealthy, the door is opened wide to first deep cynicism, then conspiracy theories, & finally fascism.

Personal liberty for whom? I guarantee it'll just reify the power of the oligarchs. It certainly won't defend the liberty of trans people to be themselves but rather the so called "liberty" to harass them.
New: Jeff Bezos emailed staff at the Washington Post this morning announcing that the Post opinion pages going forward were largely going to focus on defending personal liberties and free markets. Current opinion section editor David Shipley is out.

I'm tired of the framing of trans suicides as an entirely internal struggle detached from the realities of a deeply hostile culture hell-bent on denying us care, dignity, and autonomy.
Every trans suicide is a social murder, because you cannot ignore a society actively trying to eradicate us.
