“It’s especially egregious that this order defines ‘sex’ as starting ‘at conception,’ which is impossible,” says Ash Lazarus Orr, press relations manager at Advocates for Trans Equality. “While it’s possible to know chromosomal information, human embryos don’t show sexual differentiation at that stage — and all embryos initially develop along ‘female’ lines until later in development.”

Hate Speech:
Trump’s Trans Ban Defines Everyone as Female — But That’s Not the Problem:
The president’s executive order is an attempt to roll back decades of progress. LGBTQ+ advocates intend to fight back

This is what the situation looks like:

"75% of immigrant farms workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new presidency.

American’s rural and agricultural regions will be the hardest hit from Trump’s immigration policies. Food prices are going to skyrocket."

So wait... what does this mean for "the cost of eggs"?

The reaction to Musk's Nazi salute is exactly what someone like him would want.

It's being celebrated by extremists and played down by mainstream media. It couldn't be any more ideal for him. He captures the enthusiasm he wants and gets to skirt true accountability for it.

From the archives: "On January 6, 2021, I found myself not only inside the U.S. Capitol for the first time, but running away from angry insurrectionists that had just broken through windows and doors to try to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election."

"#Biden and his few remaining dead-enders might protest, but everyone else knows Trump made this happen, which means he accomplished in a week what Biden and his 'A-Team' of seasoned foreign policy professionals failed to achieve for over a year.

Something that should be noted is how the militia nationalism of the Oklahoma City bombers has now become a firm base of one of America's political parties while no party has, thus far, shown any sympathy for the healthcare struggles that have propelled #luigimangione to fame.

During US President #Trump’s first day in office, he lifted all restrictions on #weapons being sent to #Israel

Prioritising Israeli weapons transfers as an issue of urgency, Donald Trump lifts the US restrictions of weapons transfers to the Israelis, particularly 2,000 pound bombs. He also rescinded Joe #Biden’s executive orders that sanctioned #WestBank settler extremists.

Musk has named his cars S3XY

Model X

He heads the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) (after a meme crypto coin)

He bought twitter at $54.20 per share referencing the 420 meme.

He's used Kekius Maximus as a name and Pepe frogs repeatedly.

But yeah, he absolutely did not know that he was doing a nazi salute. /s 🙄

TheStupids: Bring back the plague, Bring back the plague.

Oh well, at least your billionaires got what they wanted (OR did they? can't sell crap if ya got no-one to sell it to, what worth is a dollar if you can't spend it anywhere because no-one else is around), value of anything is only worth something if you can actually sell it, otherwise it means nothing, to anyone.

What do you need to survive, water, air, food, everything else really has no value, just some person convinced you it did.

Should be amusing to watch them stuff it all up again, then try to justify it whatever bullshit lines, at least Mr Thoughts & Prayers found a new home, don't order those vaccines Scotty - that's the plan right?

I thought support for genocide didn't impact the election results in a major way. I was wrong.

29% of voters who voted Biden in 2020 & did *not* vote Harris in 2024 say “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the top reason for their choice.

QUESTIONING THE STATE
STATE DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS ON PALESTINE, CEASEFIRE, AND BEYOND

Said Arikat Al-Quds Correspondent in Washington DC
Sam Husseini Independent Journalist writing at husseini.substack.com

in Conversation with Bassam Haddad

As the world learns more about Israel’s slaughter in Gaza amid a cautious ceasefire, we host two prominent journalists, Said Arikat and Sam Husseini, who have been in the forefront of “Questioning the State” at Press briefings in the United States. In addition to the horrendous treatment one of our guests (Sam Husseini) received in a recent press conference featuring Secretary Anthony Blinken, we address the road to, potential trade-offs, and the implications of the “ceasefire” under the incoming U.S. administration. We will also address the official position of the United States on the collapse of the Syrian regime and the emerging alternative leadership.

"A legacy of shame and infamy"

A MUST WATCH rundown of #Biden's catastrophic policy in the Middle East, and how it helped in handing the keys to fascist Trump today, by MSNBC.

"[Biden] admitted he knew what Netanyahu was going to do to the Palestinians in #Gaza, all the way back to October '23"

"[He] took this position […] to the detriment of his own party and to the future of America."

29% of Biden's voters sat out the '24 election due to his #Gaza policy.

Smotrich 'assured' Israel would continue war and take control of Gaza


Far-right minister says he 'received a commitment' that there would be a gradual Israeli takeover of enclave, despite ceasefire deal

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/smotrich-received-assurances-israel-continue-war-take-control-gaza

The far-right minister said that while his party could not prevent the deal, they were able "to ensure" through the cabinet and "other ways", that the war would not end without achieving Israel's full goals, foremost of which is "the complete destruction of Hamas in Gaza".

He said that his faction had demanded and "received a commitment" that the method of war would be completely changed.

That included, said Smotrich, "through a gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip, the lifting of the restrictions imposed on us by the [US President Joe] Biden administration, and full control of the Strip, so that humanitarian aid will not reach Hamas as it has been until now."

People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”

The Ogre nailed it. I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. Conditioned to allow our fellow human being to be treated in discriminatory, dangerous and appalling ways. Conditioned to look away from the suffering of others.

It seems plainly obvious to me. They’re creating a villain where one doesn’t exist. Whipping people into a frenzy over perceived dangers like trans women in bathrooms and sports… instead of dealing with the very real dangers that are facing us (pandemics, climate change, the fall of democracy and capitalism).

They’re starting with trans people because they’re an easy mark. They’re a small percentage of the population, many people don’t think they know any trans people and therefore they don’t see it as a “big issue”.

Stripping people of their dignity and rights will always be a big issue. Just because it’s not happening to a group you care about doesn’t mean you shouldn’t speak out against it.

The trans community need allies. They need people to see how wrong this is and say “enough is enough”. They are not a threat and they don’t deserve to be treated as one.

Lastly… this type of hateful rhetoric doesn’t stop with one group of people.

It doesn’t stop at all.

They will keep coming for your rights. The rights of LGBTQ+ communities. The rights of immigrants and marginalized individuals. The rights of the unhoused. The rights of women.

They will keep coming.

If you wait to speak up, before you know it, it’ll be too late.

Speak up now. Ask the tough questions. Get to know a trans person. Support them. We are stronger together.

Tomorrow will be a dark day for many.

For disabled, marginalized, LGBTQ+ folks & women. For anyone who still cares about others

The disability community saw this coming. It’s important we listen & understand that labelling people as expendable for 5 years leads nowhere good

Since November we’ve watched hate win over and over again.

We’ve witnessed the emboldening of those who think they’re superior to others.

We’ve seen an increase in misogyny, bigotry, ableism, racism & discrimination.

Disabled people begged the Left to pay attention. We begged you to keep masking, to push for clean air, to demand accountability from government.

We implored you to realize that our lives are not less important than your ability to go out for brunch.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people on both sides of the aisle decided that mitigating COVID was “too hard.”

They accepted repeat infections as inevitable so they wouldn’t have to adapt their lives in any way.

They threw away people like me.

We let hate win. And now we’re going to see the consequences of that decision.

Disabled people weren’t surprised in November, we’ve been living in what feels like an alternate reality for years.

But I suspect others are about to feel our pain.

If you’re feeling scared or angry right now, know that you’re not alone. There’s a community standing with you.

I don’t know exactly what comes next, but I do know we have to keep up the fight.
