Imane Khelif was born female. She was raised as a girl. Her original birth certificate says female. She's always been a woman.

But sure. "Men punching women."

If you were born in the ’90s, you may remember the beloved PBS Kids show "Cyberchase," which introduced a whole generation of children to math.

With the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on public media and America kids' declining math scores, "Cyberchase" has had to adapt.

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed.

But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats.

Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

Endlessly useful Zack Fox tweet from 2018: this how photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family. (it's a guy on a jetski with wife and daughter.)

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity."
