Leilani (she/her)

This phrase is so gross. The violence, the racism and pure ignorance behind assuming an enemy force lacks any agency.

Real fix your hearts or die hours.

One of my kids didn’t get a flu shot this year, because his pediatrician kept running out or we kept getting sick when we’d made an appt - appts that are being scheduled several months out. Pharmacies often won’t vaccinate kids, and community vaccine clinics are getting harder to find.

I will be viewing Reuters through an entirely different lens with this revelation.

Man, I had missed the stickers. The perfect detail for an over-the-top satirical novel of our stupidest downfall

Many areas of the world experienced this in gas just a couple of years ago. Europe was writing (state funded) blank cheques like it was going out of fashion, and places like Pakistan couldn't get an LNG shipment as the ability to pay evaporated.

Wonder want happened there? Read below...

Child who needs your help

HEARTBREAKING! My little boy is going blind in Gaza. His eyes are fading away. I beg you on my knees, please help me save his sight before it’s too late. I can't bear to see him in darkness forever. Please, have mercy! SAVE HIS EYES!

Increasing energy dependence on a volatile, globally traded commodity delivers neither energy security nor affordability. Hope that helps. 🫡

Guest post: How heat pumps became a Nordic success story - Carbon Brief A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather. But how did heat pumps became a Nordic success story?

”The decision to move away from oil heating provided an important stimulus for research and development of heat pump technology, followed by various promotional government programmes, including information campaigns and grant payments.”

We in Gaza are still living under annihilation every day; a suffocating siege, skyrocketing prices, and severe shortages of food and water, even during Ramadan. 💔🇵🇸

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Trump Antisemitism Inquiry Demanding List of Jews at Penn Heads to Court The Trump administration, which said it is investigating harassment, sued the University of Pennsylvania after it refused a request to provide information about Jewish students and staff.

Jewish Penn alum here to tell you that nothing about this makes anyone safer from antisemitism.

And only “caring” about antisemitism as you dismantle programs that serve other marginalized communities is the exact opposite of what safety looks like.

None of us are safe unless we are all safe.

I really can't wait to see how big the lawsuit against grammarly gets and I hope the plaintiffs sue them into complete and fundamental nonexistence. Like, "the company has to scrap their code rather than sell it as assets, and then also dissolve" nonexistence.

If/when a deMAGAfication of US ever occurs it must begin with the Roberts Court without which none of this would be possible

definitely a question you want the judge asking you

Memory, land, and language: Sitting down with Joséphine Bacon Innu poet Joséphine Bacon reflects on how her working life began as an interpreter and translator for Elders.

Through her poetry, Joséphine Bacon carries the voices of her elders and the stories of the land.

She joins Kim Sullivan to talk all about it on this week's new episode of Face to Face.

The conclusions focus largely on women’s access to justice, including:

• eliminating discriminatory laws
• strengthening legal protections
• improving justice systems for women and girls.

US proposed 8 AMENDMENTS to draft Agreed Conclusions. Other countries argued these issues had already been negotiated and AGREED during earlier talks. Commission decided to vote on the amendments as 1 package, they were rejected by the majority. After that, US requested recorded vote on final doc

🧵 An unusual procedural moment at the UN this week.

At the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), the Agreed Conclusions were adopted on the OPENING day — and BY VOTE rather than consensus.

That almost never happens.

Who caused it? ⬇️

Normally at CSW, negotiations on the final outcome document continue throughout the two-week session, and the text is adopted by consensus at the end.

This year was different.

The conclusions were introduced and adopted on Day 1 of the session.

This is still happening. Meanwhile the president bombed a school of little girls.

We can afford to house people.

We can afford to feed people.

We can afford to give people healthcare.

The money is there. We just need to put people in office who will do it.

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

The current war on Iran is UNIQUELY unpopular by U.S. standards.

Yes, the Vietnam War was initially popular with people in the US in the mid 60s...

*sydette starts screaming about data collection and transparency and lying as malice*

Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike The number of Pentagon employees who focus on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped from 200 people to less than 40.

If there’s no office to investigate the atrocity, does the atrocity even exist?

This counts for 60% of the marks on this paper.

After work, I had to DoorDash to pay for our motel room. I brought my toddler with me to avoid childcare costs. A South Carolina mom lived in a $60-a-night motel and took her toddler on DoorDash runs to make ends meet. She can afford a mobile home now.

From one perspective, this is a story about grit and determination.

From another, it's a damning portrait of a country where someone working full-time at $11/hour lives in a $60-a-night motel with her toddler—then spends evenings DoorDashing with her kid because affordable childcare is nonexistent.
