People keep saying there’s a ceasefire but every single day we wake up to another explosion, another family destroyed, another name added to the list of martyrs. I’m writing this because the world thinks Gaza is “calm” now.
It’s not. The bombs didn’t stop. The drones didn’t stop. The funerals didn’t stop.
During this so-called ceasefire, dozens of people were killed. Homes were burned. Children were pulled from under the rubble. You’ll see the photos I’m adding below - all taken during the “pause”. This is what our reality looks like.
My own family is suffering too. We lost relatives. We lost our home.
312 Palestinians have been killed, entire families wiped out during a time that was supposed to bring safety.!
Here is the donation link for my family’s emergency fund:
as more information about trump's involvement with epstein comes out, please be sure not to dismiss it with "we have known this whole time." yes of course we did, we all did, but please react like this is the biggest news of the century. make people talk about it. make people listen.
i am already seeing maga people dismiss minors as "young women who just wanted to be around the wealthy and powerful". they are already trying to make it less fucking terrible than it is. they are relying on you being burnt out. stand up and take back the term protecting the children.
do not let platform-appropriate censorship diminish what actually happened. look them dead in the eye and say, "are you fucking stupid? that's child rape. those are children." use the word rape. use the word child. say what actually happened.
do not let them draw you into "well what if X person did it" strawmen arguments. just come back to the original thesis, over and over. trump did do it, though. this is not about X, it is about him. do not let them create some strange if-then narrative of if she was over 15 - say i don't care her age, she was a minor, he had no excuse. if he can't control himself around children, he should not be a president. they are going to do anything to dodge this. they are going to do whatever they can to avoid admitting their involvement.
this is a huge fucking deal. do not allow them to avoid it.
to clarify for any creep that tries to spin a 15 year old child as an "underage girl" or "barely legal" or whatever way they try to minimize the damage, let me very clear about how young 15 years really is:
in many states, you cannot get a full driver's license. you are considered to be too young.
for many banks, you cannot open a singular stand-alone bank account without parental permission. you are considered to be too young.
you cannot donate blood. your body is still developing, and you are considered too young.
you cannot get a passport by yourself, you must apply in person with your parent/guardian also present. you are considered to be too young.*
*(please note that the above-linked government website uses the category "children under 16".)
you cannot work a full-time job, and, depending on the state you are in, the hours you work may be very restricted. you are considered to be too young.
in some states, you cannot consent to your own medical or behavior health treatments, and need parental permission. you are considered to be too young.
in many states, you cannot seek emancipation (legal freedom from your parents), or, if you do seek emancipation, you will likely be denied. you are considered to be too young.
in many states, you cannot be tried as an adult in a legal court. you also cannot be put on parole. you are considered to be too young.
you are not legally allowed to drop out of school. you are considered to be too young.
you cannot sign any legal contract without parental support. you are considered to be too young.
while the risks are not major, it is actually still the suggestion of most manufacturers to skip hair dye. at 15, you are too young to dye your own hair.
on a personal note: at 15 i was still seeing a pediatrician, and most of my friends were as well. despite having many medical issues, my doctor warned against oral birth control until later in life, as i was still too young. at 15 i hadn't chosen which college i'd attend, i hadn't taken a single calc class, and i was still learning how to write a cohesive essay.
many of us hadn't reached our full height. many of us still relied on our guardians for transport/funds/pretty much everything. many of us weren't even allowed to use the internet without parental supervision. many of us were - correctly - treated like children.
for the love of christ. the tradition of a "sweet sixteen" is because even before we had a right to vote or be seen as people - even in the fucking 1500s - we knew a 15-year-old is a child.
for a long time, the effort of traditional conservatives is to make girlchildren seem somehow more "mature". they use the excuse of earlier puberty, of the "general temperament" (socialization) of girls, of the ability to get pregnant. in large part, this is so they can escape the legal claim of statutory rape. a reminder that the majority of teen pregnancies are due to the grooming efforts of fully adult men.
this is genuinely one of the efforts of the patriarchy: to make their crimes seem less heinous, they imply consent on behalf of the minor. they make the minor out to be lewd, lascivious, tempting. having been a minor girlchild, i can confirm that i was sexualized very early in my life. most girlchildren will confirm they were catcalled or blatantly sexualized very early in life. minors cannot consent. end of story.
they are already spinning the narrative. do not let them. that is a child. and it is a horrible, horrible truth. nothing will make it less horrible, or make the pain less present for the victims. there is just reality, the way it actually exists.
and it is our duty to the survivors to fucking name it.
Maybe it's just me as a Filipino who has lived through a murderous dictatorship and oligarchies in a queerphobic country controlled by the rich who brutalize grassroots pro worker movements all under the military abuse of US imperialism but...
You just gotta keep showing up. Support each other. Don't just fight for yourself. The work is hard, but you just gotta keep doing it. You'll always see results, even if they're not always the ones you want, or as big as you want them to be.
All your work always matters. Even if it doesn't feel like it at first. It always matters.
I forgot to update this when it happened but Duterte was arrested by the ICC because people, especially women in the Philippines, never stopped working to bring him to justice. Dr. Raquel Fortun examined the bodies of drug war victims and the evidence she found is being used in the case. Photographers like Raffy Lerma and Ezra Acayan took photos of the many killings by police.
People like Jude Sabio, Antonio Trillanes, members of the Magdalo partylist, and Leila de Lima, submitted the case to the ICC, then activists and family members of the victims led by the National Union of People's Lawyers also submitted documents to the ICC.
People like Patricia Evangelista and Maria Ressa continued to bring his crimes to light internationally.
All this, alongside the continuous work of activists, is what helped us get to this point. Sara Duterte in impeachment proceedings because of her corruption as Vice President. Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC awaiting trial. After 7 years, because they never stopped working towards justice.
Food stamps may stop in November if the shutdown continues. This may be a good time to look into food banks, kitchens, meal trains, and discount markets and programs for outdated foods if you are depending on SNAP.
There's at least one regional org where we live doing a massive food drive in response, so we'll be participating. I'm openly asking anyone who can help out to do the same for your local communities.
For the record, these used to say “due to the October 1st government shutdown, we are unable to guarantee all information is up to date”.
Honestly this is terrifying. These are health and safety websites. They aren’t for propaganda. Also, the sudden *lack of warning of potential inaccuracy these banners were originally for* is also really not good
Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.
The article is under the cut because paywalls suck
This is an edited transcript of an audio essay on “The Ezra Klein Show.” You can listen to the conversation by following or subscribing to the show on the NYT Audio App, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
If you want to understand the first few weeks of the second Trump administration, you should listen to what Steve Bannon told PBS’s “Frontline” in 2019:
Steve Bannon: The opposition party is the media. And the media can only, because they’re dumb and they’re lazy, they can only focus on one thing at a time. …
All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done. Bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity. So it’s got to start, and it’s got to hammer, and it’s got to —
Michael Kirk: What was the word?
Bannon: Muzzle velocity.
Muzzle velocity. Bannon’s insight here is real. Focus is the fundamental substance of democracy. It is particularly the substance of opposition. People largely learn of what the government is doing through the media — be it mainstream media or social media. If you overwhelm the media — if you give it too many places it needs to look, all at once, if you keep it moving from one thing to the next — no coherent opposition can emerge. It is hard to even think coherently.
Donald Trump’s first two weeks in the White House have followed Bannon’s strategy like a script. The flood is the point. The overwhelm is the point. The message wasn’t in any one executive order or announcement. It was in the cumulative effect of all of them. The sense that this is Trump’s country now. This is his government now. It follows his will. It does what he wants. If Trump tells the state to stop spending money, the money stops. If he says that birthright citizenship is over, it’s over.
Or so he wants you to think. In Trump’s first term, we were told: Don’t normalize him. In his second, the task is different: Don’t believe him.
Trump knows the power of marketing. If you make people believe something is true, you make it likelier that it becomes true. Trump clawed his way back to great wealth by playing a fearsome billionaire on TV; he remade himself as a winner by refusing to admit he had ever lost. The American presidency is a limited office. But Trump has never wanted to be president, at least not as defined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. He has always wanted to be king. His plan this time is to first play king on TV. If we believe he is already king, we will be likelier to let him govern as a king.
Don’t believe him. Trump has real powers — but they are the powers of the presidency. The pardon power is vast and unrestricted, and so he could pardon the Jan. 6 rioters. Federal security protection is under the discretion of the executive branch, and so he could remove it from Anthony Fauci and Mike Pompeo and John Bolton and Mark Milley and even Brian Hook, a largely unknown former State Department official under threat from Iran who donated time to Trump’s transition team. It was an act of astonishing cruelty and callousness from a man who nearly died by an assassin’s bullet — as much as anything ever has been, this, to me, was an X-ray of the smallness of Trump’s soul — but it was an act that was within his power.
But the president cannot rewrite the Constitution. Within days, the birthright citizenship order was frozen by a judge — a Reagan appointee — who told Trump’s lawyers, “I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind.” A judge froze the spending freeze before it was even scheduled to go into effect, and shortly thereafter, the Trump administration rescinded the order, in part to avoid the court case.

What Bannon wanted — what the Trump administration wants — is to keep everything moving fast. Muzzle velocity, remember. If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him.
You could see this a few ways: Is Trump playing a part, making a bet or triggering a crisis? Those are the options. I am not certain he knows the answer. Trump has always been an improviser. But if you take it as calculated, here is the calculation: Perhaps this Supreme Court, stocked with his appointees, gives him powers no peacetime president has ever possessed. Perhaps all of this becomes legal now that he has asserted its legality. It is not impossible to imagine that bet paying off.
But Trump’s odds are bad. So what if the bet fails and his arrogations of power are soundly rejected by the courts? Then comes the question of constitutional crisis: Does he ignore the court’s ruling? To do that would be to attempt a coup. I wonder if they have the stomach for it. The withdrawal of the Office of Management and Budget’s order to freeze spending suggests they don’t. Bravado aside, Trump’s political capital is thin. Both in his first and second terms, he has entered office with approval ratings below that of any president in the modern era. Gallup has Trump’s approval rating at 47 percent — about 10 points beneath Joe Biden’s in January 2021.
There is a reason Trump is doing all of this through executive orders rather than submitting these same directives as legislation to pass through Congress. A more powerful executive could persuade Congress to eliminate the spending he opposes or reform the civil service to give himself the powers of hiring and firing that he seeks. To write these changes into legislation would make them more durable and allow him to argue their merits in a more strategic way. Even if Trump’s aim is to bring the civil service to heel — to rid it of his opponents and turn it to his own ends — he would be better off arguing that he is simply trying to bring the high-performance management culture of Silicon Valley to the federal government. You never want a power grab to look like a power grab.
But Republicans have a three-seat edge in the House and a 53-seat majority in the Senate. Trump has done nothing to reach out to Democrats. If Trump tried to pass this agenda as legislation, it would most likely fail in the House, and it would certainly die before the filibuster in the Senate. And that would make Trump look weak. Trump does not want to look weak. He remembers John McCain humiliating him in his first term by casting the deciding vote against Obamacare repeal.
That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.
The flurry of activity is meant to suggest the existence of a plan. The Trump team wants it known that they’re ready this time. They will control events rather than be controlled by them. The closer you look, the less true that seems. They are scrambling and flailing already. They are leaking against one another already. We’ve learned, already, that the O.M.B. directive was drafted, reportedly, without the input or oversight of key Trump officials — “it didn’t go through the proper approval process,” an administration official told The Washington Post. For this to be the process and product of a signature initiative in the second week of a president’s second term is embarrassing.
But it’s not just the O.M.B. directive. The Trump administration is waging an immediate war on the bureaucracy, trying to replace the “deep state” it believes hampered it in the first term. A big part of this project seems to have been outsourced to Elon Musk, who is bringing the tactics he used at Twitter to the federal government. He has longtime aides at the Office of Personnel Management, and the email sent to nearly all federal employees even reused the subject line of the email he sent to Twitter employees: “Fork in the Road.” Musk wants you to know it was him.
The email offers millions of civil servants a backdoor buyout: Agree to resign and in theory, at least, you can collect your paycheck and benefits until the end of September without doing any work. The Department of Government Efficiency account on X described it this way: “Take the vacation you always wanted, or just watch movies and chill, while receiving your full government pay and benefits.” The Washington Post reported that the email “blindsided” many in the Trump administration who would normally have consulted on a notice like that.
I suspect Musk thinks of the federal work force as a huge mass of woke ideologues. But most federal workers have very little to do with politics. About 16 percent of the federal work force is in health care. These are, for instance, nurses and doctors who work for the Veterans Affairs department. How many of them does Musk want to lose? What plans does the V.A. have for attracting and training their replacements? How quickly can he do it?
The Social Security Administration has more than 59,000 employees. Does Musk know which ones are essential to operations and unusually difficult to replace? One likely outcome of this scheme is that a lot of talented people who work in nonpolitical jobs and could make more elsewhere take the lengthy vacation and leave government services in tatters. Twitter worked poorly after Musk’s takeover, with more frequent outages and bugs, but its outages are not a national scandal. When V.A. health care degrades, it is. To have sprung this attack on the civil service so loudly and publicly and brazenly is to be assured of the blame if anything goes wrong.
What Trump wants you to see in all this activity is command. What is really in all this activity is chaos. They do not have some secret reservoir of focus and attention the rest of us do not. They have convinced themselves that speed and force is a strategy unto itself — that it is, in a sense, a replacement for a real strategy. Don’t believe them.
I had a conversation a couple months ago with someone who knows how the federal government works about as well as anyone alive. I asked him what would worry him most if he saw Trump doing it. What he told me is that he would worry most if Trump went slowly. If he began his term by doing things that made him more popular and made his opposition weaker and more confused. If he tried to build strength for the midterms while slowly expanding his powers and chipping away at the deep state where it was weakest.
But he didn’t. And so the opposition to Trump, which seemed so listless after the election, is beginning to rouse itself.
There is a subreddit for federal employees where one of the top posts reads: “This non ‘buyout’ really seems to have backfired. I’ll be honest, before that email went out, I was looking for any way to get out of this fresh hell. But now I am fired up to make these goons as frustrated as possible.” As I write this, it’s been upvoted more than 39,000 times and civil servant after civil servant is echoing the initial sentiment.
In Iowa this week, Democrats flipped a State Senate seat in a district that Trump won easily in 2024. The attempted spending freeze gave Democrats their voice back, as they zeroed in on the popular programs Trump had imperiled. Trump isn’t building support; he’s losing it. Trump isn’t fracturing his opposition; he’s uniting it.
This is the weakness of the strategy that Bannon proposed and Trump is following. It is a strategy that forces you into overreach. To keep the zone flooded, you have to keep acting, keep moving, keep creating new cycles of outrage or fear. You overwhelm yourself. And there’s only so much you can do through executive orders. Soon enough, you have to go beyond what you can actually do. And when you do that, you either trigger a constitutional crisis or you reveal your own weakness.
Trump may not see his own fork in the road coming. He may believe he has the power he is claiming. That would be a mistake on his part — a self-deception that could doom his presidency. But the real threat is if he persuades the rest of us to believe he has power he does not have.
The first two weeks of Trump’s presidency have not shown his strength. He is trying to overwhelm you. He is trying to keep you off-balance. He is trying to persuade you of something that isn’t true. Don’t believe him.

These are people that believe perception and PR are everything, so they're trying to create the perception that they can destroy and remake government without consequences or constraints. And for a while people were stunned and overwhelmed by the ugliness of it all.
But now people are moving. Many, many lawsuits have been filed and the people are starting to claim their power.
Don't despair and don't give up. We're not done yet.
I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.
also, and this is just a pet peeve of mine, it annoys me that a certain kind of low-key evil environmentalist has convinced some people to think about fresh water as a resource that is on the verge of running out and about to take civilization with it.
fresh water is a renewable resource! it literally falls from the sky! it's so abundant that you don't have to ship it from place to place or pipe it across continents, and the fact that we don't is why it is, in some dry regions, a locally scarce resource. fresh water usage is a concern if you live, like, in the Southwest and alfalfa farmers are draining the aquifers (and where fresh water is genuinely scarce AFAICT it's always bc someone is trying to grow water-intensive crops in the middle of the freaking desert), but no amount of water shortage in nevada is going to make it scarce is like Chicago.
large swathes of some regions need to worry about water usage as an environmental/resource concern. it is not a crisis everywhere. (and the solution to the crisis where it exists is pretty clear: make people pay the actual cost of the water they use, and don't try to grow fuckin' alfalfa in semi-arid conditions)
Hey! I’m the age of some of your moms and aunts and the OG version of this post helped me catch my cancer in 2023. I had a hysterectomy at the beginning of 2024 and I’ve been cancer-free since then. If I hadn’t read this information, I wouldn’t have reported bleeding to the next doctor I saw. I might have died, and I probably would have had to undergo chemo and/or radiation, both of which I avoided.
The FDA announced it will limit access to Covid-19 vaccines going forward to people 65 and older and others at high risk of serious illness
I hate these motherfuckers and I hate everybody whose actions contributed in any way whatsoever to how we got here. None of this bullshit needs to be happening and none of it would be if enough people had pulled their heads out of their asses on or before November 5, 2024.
Hi I was healthy and able bodied and in my mid twenties when I got covid in 2022. As a direct result of ONE infection I am now a full time wheelchair user (power chair because I lack the strength to self propel) and I need daily home care. I was very unlucky but I am far from being an isolated case, millions of people have been disabled with Long Covid and it could be YOU bc each infection increases the risk of long term damage.
It's currently May 20th as I write this and there's still an open comment available for three days. If you want to feel like you're doing something (aside from calling your reps) this is something.
Ok, here's my fastest and roughest lit review ever to make a template for this:
----------------------
I strongly oppose the FDA’s proposal to block Americans under the age of 65 from accessing booster vaccines to protect themselves from COVID-19. [This part is critical. State as clearly as possible what your stance is, right up front. Seriously, do not bury the lede and talk about something tangential like supporting rights to access healthcare or valuing science; get straight to the point, then explain why afterward].
[Then expand: Include supporting evidence and cite sources; your arguments could include any or all of the following:]
Complications from COVID-19 are serious and long-lasting, and have been shown to affect people of all ages. Ely et al., 2024 (“Long Covid Defined,” https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb2408466) review the last 4 years of research and find that Long Covid “can affect children and adults, regardless of health, disability, or socioeconomic status, age, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnic group, or geographic location.” Multiple studies have already supported this, showing that post-COVID-19 symptoms can have devastating impacts on the daily lives of young adults (ex: Mogensen et al., 2023 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-38315-2; Herrera et al., 2023 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-32939-0; Ripley-Gonzalez et al., 2023 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-42710-0)
Young and healthy people choose to vaccinate to protect the vulnerable people in their lives; vaccination across the community, especially children, is critical to protect those who are most susceptible (Anderson et al. 2018 https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciy142). Vaccine-powered protection is also critical for parents to protect their children from COVID infection, particularly when for children who are unable to be vaccinated or who are otherwise vulnerable (Hayek et al., 2022 https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abm3087)
COVID booster shots have been shown to be effective already, and continued boosters are necessary to maintain protections against evolving strains of COVID (Embi et al., 2021 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7044e3.htm?os=vb; Goldberg et al 2021 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2114228; Hall et al., 2021 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2111462; Voutouri et al 2023 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2211132120#core-r4-1)
Include anecdotal evidence here as well – are you under the age of 65 and have been impacted by COVID? Does getting a COVID booster help to protect vulnerable loved ones? Have you seen or experienced the effects of long covid first hand? Explain why you care!
-----------------------------
A couple of notes: The comment opportunity linked here is a notice that the vaccines advisory committee will be holding a public hearing about this on Thursday the 22nd from 8:30am-4:30pm; the link will be posted here (https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees) on the day. I’ll keep an eye out on the day of and share the link when it’s up. The hearing is open to the public; oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2025. The submission period to request an oral presentation timeslot has closed.
Also, I read a sampling of the current (~6000) comments and there are a SHIT-TON of anti-vax comments; do not look at these links being passed around and think “oh everybody else has got this.” We need as vocal a response as possible to counteract these demons.
If you haven't seen the new anti-trans report that RFK and the Trump administration just put out, I recommend you don't. It's as bad or worse than you think it is. Worse than the Cass Report (which it cites 149 times in its 400+ pages).
It's fully of pseudoscience, cherry-picked half-truth, outright forgeries, discredited doctors, and cites multiple opinion pieces by some of the loudest, most vile transphobic pundits in the country - such as Jesse Singal and Abigail Schrier a total of FIVE SEPARATE TIMES EACH - in addition to liberal institutions like the Washington Post Editorial Board which were committed to "just asking questions.
The report is claims to be exclusively about trans children and says it will not deal in transition care for adults, but it does so frequently and has entire section dedicated to it. At times it baselessly claims that transitioning results in harmful or poor outcomes for trans adults as a statement of fact with no citation to back it up.
It tries to explain away any improvement in trans people's lives as us just being unable to know ourselves due to inherently deceitful nature and inability to judge our internal well-being.
It sites underemployment, increased social and familial discrimination, and higher suicide rates as a direct outcome of transition related healthcare, not as outcome of an inherently hateful and bigoted society.
They are setting up not just banning youth care, but adult care as well.
you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them.
EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital.
Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them.
Judgement doesn't help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.
Everything about this is a masterpiece: the girl that says “wow” and the girl that says “hi” shyly and bill awkwardly lifting his hand to say hi to them I’m cracking THE FUCK UP
The way they all immediately straightened up their postures like the fuckin pope walked in 😂 the sheer power this cool science man has over the american people is palpable
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
“I’m not a political activist,” she maintained. “I’m just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong.”
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
