An estimated 21,000 children are missing in Gaza. This is separate from the 14,000 children who have been documented as killed (murdered).
The depravity speaks for itself.

Family members. High school teachers. Clergy. Professors. Colleagues. I got a PhD in political science and studied with several prominent conservatives. I spent years engaging them and their arguments in good faith. Man, there's just no real principles back there. Nothing sturdy underneath.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

this idea that the bible was a significant influence on the constitution is obviously widespread but i've always been struck by insane it is. not that evidence matters to these people but if there's anything we know for certain about the 1787 convention it's that the bible had nothing to do with it.

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.

Let's be clear, when mayors say they want to ban masks for "safety", they couldn't care less about public safety. What the mean is they want to see faces for surveillance purposes. They care about criminalizing your right to protest not your health or safety.

Sunrise got a lot of crap for not endorsing Biden because of Gaza. They're an environmental group, why can't they stay in their lane and praise the IRA? Well this is why! There's no green war. Gaza is the wealthy world's plan for climate refugees. There are no lanes, just two sides of the wall.
