If any other country did this to an American they would’ve already been invaded
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

it should be mentioned that the 2014 status quo for trans people still meant that we had suicide risks, unemployment numbers, life expectancy, poverty risk that were way worse than the average person, and somehow asking for this is seen as frivolous luxury and purity testing

Saying "Republicans are worse" is just a given. We *expect* more from Dems. The consultant class is forever chasing polls instead of changing them. When a fascist movement takes aim at a minority group, capitulating is just pathetic. People respect principles, not conceding to a moral panic

You’d think differently if there were democrats running on the Genocide for Insufferable Dorks platform.
I'll confess I'm shocked by this: seeing a respected progressive voice openly argue that it's better to defeat Democrats who have been flaky on trans rights than to secure Democratic control of the US Senate and US House. Unbelievably foolish, short-sighted, self-sabotaging nonsense.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.
ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Pretend for a second that you had no preexisting opinion about Israel. Wouldn’t this, all on its own, still make you insanely pissed off at them? Here’s a foreign press arguing that their country is entitled to a debtor’s army comprised of our young people to go die in Iran. Enraging
The Jerusalem Post argues indebted Americans should be conscripted into the Iran War.

Get ready to hear a lot of “Yeah, $1Trillion saved, 114K lives saved, but have you thought of the insurance job losses? Think about those poor job losses.” From both sides m.yale.edu/dmfs m.yale.edu/dmfs
