Walz saying he won a Chamber of Commerce award when it was actually a Junior Chamber of Commerce award and then correcting when the error was pointed out reminds me of when Trump said he won the 2020 election when actually he lost, and then incited a mob to murder Mike Pence.

I’ve read a lot of stuff about #mpox already that is wrong or at least confused. And it’s not that surprising. The situation is pretty complicated and confusing. I tried to disentangle a few things for News from Science here (thread to come later): science.org/content/articl

“The entire Hamas leadership agrees to this outline, but our Netanyahu does not want to end the war” Every US politician, administration member, pundit, journalist, who claimed to care about the Israeli hostages in Gaza and blamed only Hamas and not Netanyahu for the lack of a

I want to be clear here: JD Vance doesn't just hate women; rather, JD Vance has sat down and thought long & hard about his hatred of women. He has developed theories based on this distaste; about who belongs and contributes to society & who is A Nothing.

An American teacher was shot in the West Bank three weeks ago by Israeli forces. He was there to help defend Palestinians and demonstrate against illegal settler activity. He says virtually no US officials — including his own reps — have even reached out.zeteo.com/p/american-sho

Buried lede, this is a weird way to report that Teslas function as surveillance devices whose stored video footage can be retrieved by police without a warrant

Most women can probably relate to this, and while I've been told to 'watch my tone' multiple times at work, I've never once seen this criticism publicly levelled at a man, even when they're practically yelling

U.S. policy in Gaza is not a “failure.” It is a terrible success. Washington’s real policy has always been to support Israel in the destruction of Gaza, to render it unlivable, and to lay the ground for its ethnic cleansing. The ceasefire negotiation charade, the fake pier, the

Uncommitted on VP’s statement: “We are deeply disappointed by Vice President Harris’s embrace of militarism in a response that starkly contrasts with the courageous stance of many Israeli hostage families who are protesting Netanyahu’s horrific policy of war above all else.”

Israel bombed the entrance of Al-Fakhoura School, a designated “safe zone” for children to get the polio vaccine. My friend’s baby nephew, who was scheduled for vaccination today, is now internally bleeding from shrapnel in his spine/lungs. “It’s the same lie & mockery by Israel”

72 Men. All lived within a few miles of her home. One was her neighbor. Not one of them asked for confirmation of consent, despite her being unconscious, not even the man who’s HIV positive. Not one of them asked to talk to her. Not a single one. bbc.com/news/articles/
