I have to point this out: Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Netanyahu regime Arabs ≠ Muslims ≠ Palestinians ≠ Hamas (In case of font problems, ≠ is "not equal".) The ones causing the problems are the Netanyahu regime and Hamas. Please direct your anger at them and leave the people to live their lives.

I've been pondering the whole Sen. Eric Schmitt clown show from yesterday, and I came to a conclusion that I should have seen right from the start. First off, why do you set up a board like that to try to snare someone for going to a sportsball game? Two reasons I can come up with:

Tell me if I am misunderstanding the situation: a woman who has so much as a miscarriage can be thrown in jail in some states, but men who gang rape a woman for hours can only be forced to write a paper because anything else could “ruin their futures”. Fuck the patriarchy…

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

So the Squeaker of the House thinks that promising to do exactly the same nothing they've been doing is a great plan to win over voters? I'm sorry, I know that's not true, they've actually been keeping the soles of The Mad King's boots very shiny for the last two years.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

If you're not familiar with what victims of SA/SV at colleges face when trying to get justice, PLEASE read this thread by @nbedera.bsky.social. It's no happy read, but she does a great job laying out how schools and the federal government have worked hard to make it even more impossible for victims.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

This map shows the "countries" against what's really there: "Cameroon" in Ghana; "Nigeria" partly in Nigeria, party in Niger; "Mozambique" in Ethiopia; "Uganda" partly in Uganda and partly in Kenya; "Côte d'Ivoire" in four countries centered around Malawi; and "Malawi" mostly in Zimbabwe.

A map showing the placement of African nations according to the U.S. government vs. what nations are really there:

1) "Cameroon" - mostly Ghana, extending into Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Togo
2) "Nigeria" - largely in Niger, extending (surprisingly) into actual Nigeria
3) "Mozambique" - almost entirely in Ethiopia, extending slightly into Kenya
4) "Uganda" - split almost 50/50 between (shockingly) Uganda and Kenya
5) "Côte d'Ivoire" - split between Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique
6) "Malawi" - mostly in Zimbabwe, extending into Botswana and South Africa

Without getting spoilery, the new episode of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds is a very well-done example of its genre. Sadly, it is a genre that is very, very much not for me. But I can appreciate how well-made it is while still knowing it will be a really long time before I ever watch it again.

A little louder for the folks in the back: anti-trans folks don't give a shit about women's sports. They are using trans athletes as a way to weaponize their need to disempower and control women, in sports and everywhere else. Abortion bans are about power. Trans athlete bans are about power.
