Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide against Palestinians, a UN commission investigating the war in Gaza said on Tuesday. In earlier reports, the commission found that Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, but stopped short of declaring it genocide. nyti.ms/484tpD5

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

The courts keep getting in the way of dictator Trump's Project 2025 agenda. Keep suing the hell out of this lawless regime.
Obedience is good. We like to see obedience to court orders. I'm perfectly fine with the trumpitistas criticizing the orders, calling for them to be overturned on appeal, and even accusing the judges of political bias, so long as they also damn well obey them.
