The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

I believe the usual proposal to initiate peace talks oh my God that’s a complete, successful cease-fire.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Since 1988, every year on December 1, communities have joined together to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and to honor the lives affected by the epidemic.

A third unvaccinated infant in Kentucky died of whooping cough; these 3 deaths are the first since 2018. Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is most dangerous for infants, and vaccination is the most effective way to prevent it. Race of babies is not reported.

It is a bit alarming, when rereading Machiavelli's The Prince, that it lands as reportage rather than political theory. However, I find great comfort in the fact that they are really effing it up.

Raising up those individuals who literally place the lives of American infants at risk of disease and death is an act of aggression against our nation.

This is sedition, slow motion.

Here’s the Republican Pitch:

"I want more babies in the United States of America.
I want more happy children in our country."
- JD Vance

"It is increasing the number of families, mothers, and fathers, and the ability of the family to spend time together,"
- Sen Josh Hawley

Republican Reality:
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

Okay, I have 25 actions that can be gendered across the ten working shots. Activities captured range from active digging to lying down. Would you like to see the results. It’s not a huge surprise.

ded! this ratio of digging in the dirt vs. posing. 😝
Okay here it is. Women represent 1/3 (32%) of those actions captured (fewer women on site) but of those, most are engaged in active excavation tasks (trowelling, mattocking, shovelling). Meanwhile, the majority of men’s activities captured are ‘standing’ and ‘moving’.
