Fun how all the platforms get less fun, less interesting, and less usable as they get more right-wing and more dedicated to sucking up as much of our time and scamming us as much as possible.

People of good faith can have different ideas of what effective immigration policy looks like, but on a human level, that policy should be informed by a sense of empathy for and understanding of the violence and poverty that so many people are fleeing from.

As we see these images of people crying at the border after the asylum system shut down, it is again worth considering how indescribably desperate a person must feel to travel with their children through the desert, across the water, or through the Darien Gap simply for the *possibility* of safety.

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

The language Trump uses in these executive orders is identical to laws in Hungary under Orban --banning "gender ideology," enforcing binary biological sex definitions in identity documents, claiming women deserve special "dignity and protection."

“Some of the aid that children in Gaza need is not aid that we can bring in on trucks. Every single child in Gaza today is deeply, deeply scarred and traumatised by what they’ve witnessed,” Bollen said. “They’ve gone through things that no child should ever have to witness,” she said.

around 42% of all marriages end in divorce. that is a very high regret rate for people committing to life changing decisions. the state should do something, ultimately we should ban marriage entirely

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Whew! Popping back here briefly to discuss a very eventful few days. On Sat, a SNOW BUNTING appears at Hayward Regional. 😱 The bird is stunning & super-rare in the East Bay. Many birders go to see it. It's living its best life on a white/brown plastic culvert that it maybe thinks is snow? 1/

Absolutely stunning white bird with brown/black markings. In the background is a wide grey plastic sheet that's streaked with brown.

The language used by Israel in this twitter post is all about othering Palestinians out of their humanity, and it absolutely is so you, reading about this horrific act, have some tools in your hands to justify it. No, bombing hospitals is never ok. No, no matter what. No. It is an atrocity.
