The Israeli military is removing and detaining the soldier who was shown sledgehammering the face of a Jesus Christ statue in southern Lebanon this week — just weeks after dropping charges against five soldiers who were allegedly caught on camera raping a Palestinian detainee.
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
Even that, like who looks at door handles?
Tesla pioneered flush door handles then the industry adopted them. Now countries are banning them over safety concerns.
@darakerr.bsky.social joined @parismarx.com to explore how Tesla owners are getting stuck inside and why regulators haven’t acted sooner.

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:
No shit
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.
“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
Well done.

In Israel, raping Palestinians goes unpunished — but you'll go to jail for angering Americans.
After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

How many steps until bill making it illegal to be in public without a male relative?
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.
The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."
My story:
Who bailing US out?
This is a five-alarm fire and should be covered as such by the media.
The Trump administration is considering a bailout for the United Arab Emirates over economic losses sustained as a result of the U.S. war with Iran. President Trump and his family also happen to have extensive business ties with the UAE. trib.al/CpCz4Oc
At the same time, anyone who ever helped with a student org will tell you not to fuck with the flyers.

EU agrees to widen sanctions against Iran to include Strait of Hormuz EU countries have agreed to widen sanctions against Iran to include those responsible for blocking the Strait of Hormuz, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says. Kallas added she asked foreign affairs ministers at their meeting in Luxembourg to bolster the EU’s naval mission in the Middle East, which is currently protecting ships from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group in the Red Sea.
Surely sanctioning Iran MORE will make them give up their sole bargaining chip and means to extract compensation for this illegal war!

Biden's point man on Lebanon and one of his overall most important advisor for MENA said yesterday morning that he agreed with Trump's strikes on Iran last year lol.
Democrats really need to reassess how people like this were (and still are) allowed to be at the top of their foreign policy echelon.
The US Congress is proud to call these murderers and kidnappers allies. They are all complicit.
Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War 0.. That's because if they were named after the attacker, 80% of conflicts would just be called the US war. and a #lo
Press got no principles.
