Probably fair to note here that Jesse, whose beat is 'trans people's healthcare' for reasons best known only to him, has blocked Erin, me, and most other high-profile trans people in media so that he can better exist in his own hermetically sealed universe

So Israel has struck Iran - and either directly or through proxies - Iraq and Syria.
Gaza starves - famine -
Mass murder continues-

Ilhan Omar's daughter is a student at Columbia and, apparently, was just suspended for her protests there.

Can you imagine the right's reaction if Harvard had suspended Elise Stefanik's daughter the day after the Claudine Gay hearing?

In the north of Gaza, infants & young children have begun to die of malnutrition & dehydration.

Across the border, food & clean water wait.

Breaking news: Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been arrested for 'suspicion of incitement.' Jerusalem's Hebrew University suspended her last month after she said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. She told Democracy Now! her personal safety was at risk.

very cool that israel gets to gamble on the iranian response hours after biden told them they could invade rafah as a treat if they promised not to strike iran. i'm sure we'll hear about how privately mad he is.

Israel is a rogue state that is destabilizing the entire region. The united State's failure to get Israel to stop its genocide and reckless escalation is catastrophic. We are going to get dragged into a war solely because Netanyahu doesn't want to leave office.

The Middle East is on a precipice.

The international community must work together to prevent any actions that could push the entire region over the edge, with a devastating impact on civilians.

It is high time to end the bloody cycle of retaliation.

It is high time to stop.

Keir Starmer once said, “Israel made the desert bloom.”

Keir Starmer did you change your mind now? No? Ok.

Black women die at **THREE TIMES** the rate of white women during childbirth.

Congress must pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act.

There should be no hang up on passing this from so-called “pro-life” Republicans.

Unlike Iran's attack on Israel, which killed no-one, there won't be wall to wall outrage over the Israeli killing of 11 Palestinian kids, as there's been a lack of outrage over over 14,000 kids being slaughtered.

Why?

Because Palestinian life is considered worthless.
