“‘I Stand With Them:’ Famed Lesbian Swimmer Diana Nyad Reverses Stance on Trans Athletes”

“‘We are all sisters and siblings under the blue sky, and we should all have equal opportunities to play the sports we choose, the sports we love.’”

Context matters. It's certainly not inherently antisemitic to say the phrase "Free Palestine." But saying "Free Palestine" while firing a shotgun outside of a random synagogue in upstate NY? 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 antisemitic.

No one should be able to dictate women's health choices, but it's especially disgusting that Paxton is calling the shots.

An IDF drone video shows a Hamas squad beating up a Palestinian civilian for the crime of getting some food from humanitarian supplies.

Police say a woman has died after Edmonton officers used a stun gun then shot her while conducting a wellness check.

Police are the wrong people to conduct wellness checks.
