  • I swear, some version of this news article has come out once every winter for the past ten years when reporters ignore the impact of cold weather on people’s ability to travel on foot to jerk off some authoritarian bullshit

    Also,

    But most of those sites were closed last year, Garcia said, as the number of migrant arrivals began to dwindle under the Biden administration. This was partly due to the Mexican government’s efforts to crack down on immigration but also former President Joe Biden’s executive order last summer that did not allow people to apply for asylum if they entered the country between ports of entry.













  • Either way, Republicans being in control of education policy is nonsense. It’s not going to matter what reading system they use if they’re trying to teach a trans student whose who’s being harassed by their state’s laws, or a student who is distracted by reasonable fears of being shot, or by hunger because they don’t have any food at home. This person could be the most skilled and impassioned champion of education ever but she’s never going to be able to help kids Republicans decide are unworthy working for this administration.

  • The ceasefire has been bullshit from the beginning, it was just a way for Israel and Hamas to put a formal end on things that allowed them both to say they got what they wanted out of this bloodbath, but it hasn’t and won’t stop Israeli soldiers from killing Palestinians or Hamas fighters from trying to kill Israeli civilians, and it definitely won’t do anything to put us on a path to any kind of real and lasting peace. We’re right back where we were on October 6, only with 40,000+ dead civilians and a bunch of essential infrastructure destroyed.


  • lately I’ve been asking if people will write an email to a politician or a celebrity or a business leader, anyone who has the ability to talk to the media, and ask them to use that ability to talk about the plight of Palestinians

    It’s almost like after months of having their concerns dismissed and being called Russian plants or whatever else people aren’t inclined to engage in political action alongside the kinda kinds of people who they think said those things. Oh well, at least this is just a silly thing that happens on social media and doesn’t have any relevance at all to the Democratic party’s ability to turn out votes or anything /s

    e; fixed a typo and added some words to make my point clearer



  • It never really existed to begin with, it’s just a face saving fiction for both Israel and Hamas to say “actually we got exactly what we wanted out of this and sure showed those other guys so we can declare victory now”, but Israeli soldiers will continue murdering Palestinians when they feel like it and Hamas will continue lobbing rockets at iron domes to remind everyone they exist and nothing will have changed except 40,000+ Palestinians are dead now
