The West Bank is absolutely occupied, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, reaffirmed from the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907, Article 42.
It would be helpful if people who didn't know what they were talking about didn't open their uninformed mouths.

Genuinely curious as to why Wu and others who argue along these lines are surprised that pro-Israel politics are on the back-foot in the United States.

the thing is: not every tweet is a banger. even great writers struggle to find the right words sometimes. but even the biggest bombs and cringiest flops ever dreamt or penned by humans are feats beyond the ability of the most advanced LLM, because humans can produce original thoughts and LLMs can't.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Charlotte, whatever you intend this campaign to achieve, trans kids and adults will still be at risk of violence.
It was never the phone that killed Brianna, it was children radicalised by the constant transphobia peddled by the media.

I’m kinda thinking of this for those of us in other countries too atm
Canadian Millennial/GenX friends, it’s time to either get your immunity tested or just get an adult MMR booster. Most of us are in a childhood immunization gap where our immunity can wane, usually in our 30s-ish, so… now, approximately. Protect yourselves.
Because of a measles outbreak in 9 of its provinces and 1 of its territories that has persisted for over a year, Canada no longer holds measles elimination status.

CIS ppl please listen. this is not just New rules about what trans care is covered by Medicaid. any doc who gives ANY trans care will be punished. I don't want to go back to Street mones. this is just how the micromanaging starts. Mark my words. cisgender menopause treatments will be next.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun.
The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.

Trans people, feminists and a bunch of Jewish researchers pointed out the thinly veiled repackaging of antisemitic tropes by the Heritage Foundation back 6-7 years ago but because they were deploying it in anti trans rhetoric ("trans people are well poisoning child sacrificers) noone paid attention.
NEW: The National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism has severed ties with the Heritage Foundation, adding to the tumult at the venerable conservative think tank & underscoring a deepening rift on the right between Israel supporters & America Firsters.

So Jurassic World Evolution 3 dropped recently…and I’ve had no desire to play it
1 was novel, with its…long campaign of managing 6 islands and getting your parks up and running with some unique challenges thrown in as well.
2 had more polish
But 3 feels like the worst parts of all of the genre
