If your response to this is “red states got what they voted for,” your indifference to human suffering makes me sick.
SCOOP— FEMA essential functions are at "high risk" of not functioning properly just days before hurricane season because of staffing shortages, per a recent internal memo obtained by The Handbasket.
These deficiencies "may disrupt life-saving and life-sustaining program delivery."

Dr. Alaa al-Najjar left her 10 children at home when she went to work in the emergency room. Hours later, the bodies of 7 of her children arrived, most of them badly burned. In total, the Israeli military killed 9 of her 10 children by burning them to death. Horrific.

We've surpassed a horrifying moment when the word 'genocide' is not enough to describe the Israeli government's atrocities upon the Palestinian people

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times
Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

The kids won't remember but many liberals justified the Iraq war on humanitarian grounds - and denounced those who didn't as lacking in, well, humanitarianism, and you can predict precisely where all these people are on the humanitarian issue of the moment

One dream I have is that one day physical scientists and biological scientists recognize that they don’t have the same systemic training in social analysis that their colleagues in the humanities and social sciences do and that this means we need help when it comes to doing politics

I see lots of fellow leftists & pro-Palestine ppl celebrating at the seeming ‘rupture’ between Netanyahu & Trump.
Folks, it’s Trump. Don’t pay attention to what he says; pay attention to what he does - & what Israel does with his support.
Right now, it’s the starving of Gaza.

This makes me think of my grandmother, who was a full blood Seminole Indian raised on a reservation. I never knew her as she died young because the drunken Irish fool she married used her as a brood mare and field hand and beat on her.
