I think a reason we find the Jimothy story so moving is that it goes against our sense of nature always being harsh and ruthless. In reality, even in the animal kingdom sometimes the deformed & disabled still find their way in the world, often with the help of family.
Today, Congresswoman Stevens had a choice: stand with the majority of Democrats who oppose unconditional military aid to Israel, or stand with the special interests funding her campaign. She chose to side with AIPAC and Republicans to continue to fund a war machine that has taken the loved ones of many Michigan families. She made her choice. You make yours.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
The fact that I'd be arrested for showing "female" breasts in public, but then put into a men's prison because I'm "not a woman". Goes to show that we are only considered women when it justifies harm but never considered women when it would protect us from it.
Svensk migrationspolitik. Kvinnan får uppehållstillstånd i Sverige med anledning av anknytning till sin man. Han är ett svin och misshandlar henne. Hon anmäler. Bryter med honom. Skäl till att stanna i landet upphör. Trots egen försörjning får hon inte stanna. Äcklig människosyn.
As someone who works with transgenic mouse models for cancer research, this is objectively one of the funniest things I’ve seen a real life politician post
If Ben Gvir doesn't represent Israel, then surely he is going to be fired and arrested!
Rather than continuing to be NATIONAL SECURITY MINISTER with control of prisons and police!
We are aware of recent incendiary statements and troubling behavior by congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, currently in a run-off election for the Democratic nomination for TX-35.
Most disturbing are her comments calling to jail Americans who identify as Zionists and calls for physical mutilation as a form of criminal punishment.
Track AIPAC stands firmly on the side of free expression. Just as we oppose efforts to criminalize the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement and efforts to codify expressions of support for Palestinian liberation as antisemitism, so do we oppose any effort to suppress or punish the free speech of self-identified Zionists.
Calls for cruel and unusual punishment like that which Galindo has promoted are fundamentally in opposition to our organization's commitment to justice and due process.
As such we are immediately revoking our endorsement of Maureen Galindo and encourage any others supporting her campaign to follow suit.
@AOC@johnnygarciatx For the people defending the comments. There's a difference between legitimate and thoughtful anti-zionism and draping antisemitism in anti-zionist speak. Talking about Jews controlling the media, and most Zionists being pedophiles is just anti-semitic, full stop.
