Watch as an estimated 100,000 Icelandic women go on a nationwide 24-hour strike in the biggest walkout since 1975. Women refused to cook, clean, or do unpaid care work, women took to the streets demanding greater gender equality and protesting against the gender pay gap, gender-based violence, and sexual violence.

@ned FFS!!!! Religion is a scam!

❝ Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson described his 2020 visit to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount as ‘the fulfillment of a biblical prophecy’; his election is the most significant victory to date for evangelicals in D.C. ❞

Interesting note for Fediverse/Mastodon users: you do not get a "view" count here, which makes some new folks (ie journalists/others) feel like they aren't being seen, even though their message is being read by lots of people. They only see the boosts and stars... So hit the "star" button often, especially on new people finally migrating here! #Feditips

Best way to protect a Dem presidential win in ‘24 would be to retake the House and have Jeffries preside over the certification.

Gee I’m so happy that the person who is second in line for the presidency is an election denier who thinks God made him speaker. The Republican Party needs to die

I am EXHAUSTED by having to defend my existence as a Jew in 2023. I'm also exhausted by the rise in antisemitism in the past few weeks.

Judge Engoron says he does not find Trump to be a credible witness.
Speaking truth to power.
About time more politicians were pulled up for telling lies. Very few of them are credible. Even fewer are ever held to account.

If anyone was curious about what Y’all Qaeda would do if they got power, watch this Speaker closely. He’s all for taking away rights from anyone who is not like him: straight white cis male xristian.

“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language from his time as an attorney for a socially conservative legal group in the mid-2000s,” CNN reports.

“In editorials that ran in his local Shreveport, Louisiana, paper, The Times, Johnson called homosexuality a ‘inherently unnatural’ and ‘dangerous lifestyle’ that would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy ‘the entire democratic system.'”

Mike Johnson wanted to criminalize gay sex.

Am I surprised that the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives is a Creationist?

No.

It's fair to debate Israel's policy toward Palestinians and land. However, there is no doubt Hamas is not a liberation organization; they are terrorists who murdered, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped innocent people. #Accountability
