I would argue that supporting your partner can be safely classified as “Punk as Fuck”.
They should have put it on two closely spaced platforms so that it would have also been a spanning tree.
I agree in principal, but: 40 1/2 = 40/1 + 1/4 = 160/4 + 1/4 = 161/4


Mostly so they can more easily punish those who dare to stray too far from stereotypical gender roles.


His willingness to throw trans kids under the bus is one of my problems with him.


Fines should start at 100% of ill gotten gains as a baseline before being calculated.


This was a vote to table. A no vote is a vote for impeachment, or at least continue the process toward it.


Unfortunately people who have X instead of M or F on their documents haven’t been able to get a passport at all, even with the wrong gender marker. They have functionally been banned from traveling.


EEE is Eastern Equine Encephalitis should anyone else be out of the loop on acronyms like me.
The top is the percentage of people while the bottom is the total incidence. This is an apples and oranges comparison. In this case the bottom map is functionally a population map as others have pointed out. Most stats are best in “#/thousand people” or equivalent, but should always in the same unit if compared.


Zionism is a nationalist movement for the support of a Jewish state. Throughout history different people have had different justifications for the need for a Jewish state, some of them antisemitic. It is worth noting that not all Jews are Zionists and non Jews can be considered Zionists since the desire for a Jewish ethno-state does not require one be a Jew.
As the stated goal is the creation of an ethno-state and thus the exclusion of other groups, racism tends to be implicit for many. Since the creation of an ethno-state likely requires the removal of of the current inhabitants, some pretty despicable actions get justified.
It is important to note that many of the most outspoken anti-Zionists have always been Jews. It’s from these that I have often heard the argument that conflating all Jews with Zionism/the state of Israel puts Jews everywhere at risk of getting blamed/punished for the actions of the state of Israel.
Many extremist Christians support the Zionist movement out of either the desire to remove Jews from their country or because they want all of them to return to Israel so that the rapture/end of the word can be realized. Some extremist Christian groups are literally doomsday cults kinda explaining their lack of care for the future…I mean why worry when the end times are nigh.
The US, and much of the west, show unyielding support for the state of Israel and by extension Zionism for several reasons, chiefly geopolitical in nature (oil). Other reasons include racism towards the other peoples of the region, the antisemitism described above, shame over the Holocaust (the Allies all showed some compliancy with it at least in the beginning…antisemitism has deep roots in western culture), and the fact that confronting the wrong of the colonial project of Israel means confronting their own colonial pasts…and often presents.
Edit to add: Belief that all Jews deserve to be safe and not have to fear hatred in no way requires the establishment of a pure ethno-state, the displacement/killing of whole peoples, or the support of those who push for these. The book “On Palestine” by Chomsky and Ilan Pappe argues for a one state solution with freedom for Jews, Christians, Muslims, and other groups all having the right to self determination. As well as pointing out evidence that much of the two state discourse is explicitly vavout preventing peace in the region. Both Chomsky and Ilan are Jews.
I’m not op, but these are some things that I appriciate about Vivaldi:
Unfortunately I am looking for alternatives to Vivaldi since Google has decided to kill quality web browsing on Chromium browsers. Much of the web is virtually unusable to me without a tool like ublock quieting things down to work past my sensory processing issues. At times it is hard to think that the majority of web devs have anything but distain for disabled people.
I do use Fennic on Android (with ublock and darkreader) because Mozilla decided to block access to about:config in the mobile version and I have yet to find another way to always force pages to load the desktop version. (Mobile versions of sites disable most of the built in accessibility options like the ability to zoom)
The settings I set in fennic if anyone is curious:


Are you referring to the covid vaccine mandates as it appears this video is about, or something else that I missed?


Personally, the “just asking questions” transphobes being called on their bigotry doesn’t really seem the same as medical researchers getting harrased for trying to find treatments for deadly diseases…but maybe that is just me.
The map would be a bit different for minorities I think.
