The thing I'm NEVER going to get over is that there were pro-rape riots in Israel and people are STILL defending them as the "good guys". 🤬

Are rats capable of empathy?

In 2011, neuroscientist Peggy Mason and her student Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal at the University of Chicago published a study in the journal Science that suggested they are.

They placed one rat inside a narrow, clear tube with a door that could only be opened from the outside. Another rat, a cage-mate, was free in the arena.

The free rat seemed upset by its trapped companion. Over several days, most of the free rats learned to open the door. They did it again and again, quickly and on purpose, and set their friend free.

They did not do the same for an empty tube or a tube with a toy rat.

Then the researchers made it harder. They gave the free rat a choice between a tube with chocolate chips and the tube holding its trapped friend. Many rats opened both. And they often shared the chocolate.

It was strong evidence that empathy may run deep in the animal kingdom.

@grossdm @TVietor08 @simonschuster @YairNetanyahu Are they contractually obligated to market/distribute EVERYTHING that Ratpac publishes?
If not: difference without differentiation.

This thread is HORIFYING.

- An 18-year-old former Turning Point chapter VP says she was held down and assaulted at a TPUSA event. It was filmed without her consent, and a man can be heard saying "she is for the whole team" while she resists, and there is clearly blood visible on pants.

- The video was taken without her permission and the men jump onto her. She filed a police report with Rutgers PD. Instead of accountability, she says she got a threatened lawsuit, and that a Turning Point staffer deleted their messages.

- The man she accuses, Vincent Tabone (who goes by "Jim Callahan"), sent her an AI-written cease-and-desist and threatened a defamation suit.

- The man who allegedly filmed her, Daniel Baez of William Paterson University, kept contacting her after she told him to stop.

- Her Turning Point field rep, Anthony Romano, allegedly first told her to block Baez, later changed his position, and deleted their chat messages.

Then there's video of Turning Point's own general counsel walking into a room of underage drinkers, high schoolers included, and saying "I know you are all 21!"

Where is the outrage from the "protect the kids" crowd? Every reporter should be on this.

"There's a theologian who said, I screamed at God for the starving children until I realized the starving children was God screaming at me," Talarico said [in 2025]. "And God is screaming at all of us in Gaza as we speak."

Saying “I hate Jewish people” is antisemitism. Saying “I hate Israel for committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestine for the last 78 years” is not antisemitism. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

An Israeli professor spent three years developing a plan to conduct simultaneous massacres in several Palestinian communities.

An examination of thousands of comments on social media reveals Israelis' stark normalization of anti-Palestinian violence.

@Yousefiaa @lporiginalg 🤣 oh, horror: they added a Quran & prayer rugs to the INTERFAITH chapel! 😱
Meantime, all 3 weekly services offered by the chaplaincy are still Christian.

@Feisty_Waters And that face totally says "Worth it! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!" 😂
Hope your arm is ok!

“I was stuck in traffic after attending an event for an AIPAC front group so I couldn’t (accidentally, and in good faith) vote to impeach the person prosecuting the war AIPAC enthusiastically supports” ok if you say so

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

“Yeah, that 14-year-old kid looked like he was thinking about maybe throwing a stone at the tank invading his town so we shot and killed him.”

This is the justification Israel openly offers the world for murdering children.

Nobody could get near this dog for days. Leg slowly being strangled by a snare.

Thats when our dog catcher called Arm came along. The skill, determination and passion to pull this off by her is insane.

A very wild street dog but one that is saved because of Arm

Jeeeeeesus. This is a HUGE betrayal of workers!!! Holy shit!!

And Carney had the audacity to pretend to be pissed when the news of the sale became public!???

Canadians need to reckon with the reality that this government is far too comfortable lying to their faces.

When you look at the number of Republicans who lost their races who are not showing back up to work in DC, you realize that most of the time Democrats will have a voting majority before the new members are even sworn in.
