Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.
That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.
Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills.

1. The far right is falsely spreading that a new study shows that surgery "doubles depression" for transgender people.
This is an egregious misreading of the study, which does not look at transgender people before and after surgery.

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country.
Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine.
Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

the ai sloppification of the world will only end if organizations stand up for artists like this. this is another great reason to unionize your workplace as you can include NO AI ART in your work contract
Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.
