NAZA is a film by Israelis primarily for Israelis. And *that is a good thing*. It is a thing that cannot be accomplished by palestinian victims. It is a thing we NEED israelis to do. The critiques of this film from the left+Palestinians come from a position of pain, but are inaccurate & not helpful.

And if you’re under any illusion that your campus would handle sexual violence better… no, they wouldn’t. I wrote a book about that:

Gavin Newsom has been shitty for ages. He's been the 'lesser evil' for years and years, always firmly on a trajectory toward 'greater evil'. Lots and lots and lots of us have been saying this forever. We deserve better than self-interested turncoats who stand for nothing but themselves.

her role on fox is to be a punching bag. she helps to validate right wing bs. she plays the part by being a mousy liberal who wears glasses who is silenced by "alpha" republicans. liberals have unfortunately swallowed the propaganda that she is "fighting back" against fox

Everytime, the modern Republican Party has done something constitutionally crappy, even after they have pardoned said constitutional crap, we are then supposed to pretend that it was not constitutional crap. Nope: Nixon was a crook and J6’ers were a bunch of rioters who tried to Hang Mike Pence.

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

What isn't surprising: work requirements are reducing coverage because of paperwork burdens What is surprising: apparently The Pitt had a storyline that demonstrated the difficulty of navigating Medicaid redeterminations
“Hopefully we’ll be back on Medicaid by then.”

“How’d you lose it?”

“They sent a redetermination letter to our old apartment. It didn’t get forwarded.”

“And you haven’t been able to get it back since?”

“I’ve been trying for months. To get re-enrolled, you need tax returns, pay stubs… I cut hair. My income fluctuates.”

Cities across the country have gotten the message that residents hate Flock cameras. But one growing response is to replace them with *other* license plate readers (like from Axon, makers of the Taser), as if the brand name is the concern. @thorbenson.bsky.social has the story.
