“in apparent effort to force hand of Hamas” is not a good substitute for “in clear crime against humanity”.
This would mean the shutting down of Gaza’s only two remaining functioning desalination plants.

remember how in elementary school the teacher would punish the whole class if one kid acted out, and instead of getting mad at the teacher, the other students get mad at the one kid?
this administration remembers that too.

I walked with these people in the jungle, I’ve held their children and played with them, wrapped them in my clothes when they’re cold. I’ve literally given Venezuelan folks the coat off my back, and they did the same for me when I moved there. This fucking sucks.
600,000 Venezuelans with TPS just got a little less safe—Trump is revoking Mayorkas’ last-second extension of TPS, restoring previous expiration dates in April and September.
Now Noem has to make a decision on extension or termination for about half that population by Feb 1 instead of spring 2026.

This whole thing becomes so bleak when you realize that Biden was doing deportation flights to Colombia for most of the administration but he was using civilian airliners and there was no political capital in opposing him so nobody gave a shit

the best thing about having dealt with addiction in the past is i have no illusions about social media: it is a drug. we are all addicted. the people who deny this are rationalizing the way people with addictions do that. no shame, but that's what all this is.

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.
Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴

I feel this a lot. I've missed yearly checkups, delayed important back pain care etc because of how much I struggle with the bureaucracy involved. As the study shows, it's not ADHD that kills us sooner than the general population.
It is an accessibility problem. Lack of accessibility kills.

It's been reasonably well established ADHD/Autistic individuals have lower life expectancies. Often this is caused by a lack of adjustments to enable us to access equal healthcare. Add this to the many reasons we need better investment in support and diagnosis.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

The only consistent policy of European governments these days is making sure ppl who look like me don’t come to Europe, at all costs. It’s virtually the only thing they agree on.
They don’t need to say they believe in great replacement conspiracies bcs they act as if they do anyway.
