The fact that @AOC just committed to voting against “any spending on arms for Israel, including SO-CALLED defensive capabilities” at tonight’s NYC-DSA electoral forum should haunt her for years to come. Beyond disgraceful for a so-called human rights advocate. Obscene.



.@POLITICOEurope Why did you assign a profile of Francesca Albanese—who says the US is controlled by ”the Jewish lobby”—to a guy who wonders if “the Jewish lobby” controls US policy, asking “Where exactly does that transaction occur? Banks? Stock markets?” x.com/KarlMathiesen/…


According to the school, I was fired because I violated the administration’s values about LGBT inclusion—by reposting Brianna Wu, a trans woman, on X, writes Logan Levkoff. thefp.com/p/i-was-fired-…

This is something I have been worrying a lot about. We have psychopaths waging this war. We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site. Why would he not go further now in Iran? There has been absolutely no consequences for his war crimes in Gaza. Trump has only assisted them. This has got to stop. As the citizens of the world we have to stop this. They can not be allowed to carry out a nuclear strike on the millions of innocent people of Iran. These are our fellow human beings, regardless of their leaders. This is insanity.

A transitional Iranian ambassador to Lebanon? Following the Lebanese state’s decision to end the mission of the previous regime’s ambassador—and the diplomat’s reported refusal to leave Lebanese territory while remaining under Hezbollah’s protection—the government in Beirut could consider a new course of action. One option would be to formally request that Iran’s transitional government appoint an interim representative to serve as ambassador to Lebanon. Under such a scenario, the current diplomat would effectively remain a rogue representative of the existing regime until removal is possible. While a newly appointed envoy could represent an alternative Iranian transitional government in official relations with Lebanon. @LBpresidency @YoussefRaggi @SecRubio @SenTedCruz @LindseyGrahamSC











Why is Israel so bad at propaganda? Are they stupid?


Lebanon has ordered Iran’s ambassador Mohammad Reza Sheibani to leave the country, but he has refused to go. Al Jazeera’s @JustinSalhani reports on the diplomatic standoff in Beirut.

This Trans Day of Visibility, let's remember those too often overlooked in endless debates over trans rights: trans people. Trans men and women deserve our love and support, not exclusion and hate.
