Interstellar_1, to lgbtq_plus in California Senate approves ban on transgender notification policies in schools

California is worse then Florida now 😔

Catoblepas,

This is a good policy, it means school districts can’t force teachers to out students to their parents without the student’s permission.

Oh cool, probably should have read the article

Catoblepas,

The headline is a little confusingly written, I had to reread it to figure out exactly what it was saying too.

Alexstarfire, to politics in White House considers welcoming some Palestinians from war-torn Gaza as refugees

What kind of hypocritical bullshit is this? How about stop helping Isreal so they don’t become refugees in the first place. Pick a fucking lane. You either don’t care about Palestinians or you do. You don’t get to play both sides.

Or, maybe let them have their homes back in Palestine without ongoing violence? I wonder which they’d prefer.

I think the unusual matter here is that a family with a lengthy history in politics is alarmed by one of their siblings aiding a racist, misogynist fascist to win the presidency.

SkybreakerEngineer,

Also being alarmed that one of their siblings, who they know to be a grade-A wacko, is trying to be president

Israel is going to get their hostages back one way or another.

Best case scenario is Hamas releases them as part of a ceasefire agreement. Israel having weapons means they have leverage over the Hamas psychopaths to compel them to release hostages making such a ceasefire agreement more likely. Hamas is a group of psychopaths, so they won’t do anything because it’s the right thing to so, they will only release the hostages if their lives are under direct threat.

If that doesn’t work, then Israel will go into Rafah. There will be a lot of casualties if this happens. There will be even more casualties if they need to resort to using less accurate munitions as part of this assault. In this scenario the US not supplying laser guided munitions will result in increased casualties.

If you think that false accusations of genocide is going to somehow make Israel accept that their people should remain hostages of Hamas forever then you are deluded. If you think a lack of laser guided munitions is going to prevent them from doing everything they can to free the hostages, that’s also delusion. A lack of accurate weaponry isn’t going to prevent civilian casualties, in fact it will increase the number of civilian casualties. Is that what you want?

The rational starting point to understand this conflict is to understand that Israel is going to make every effort to free the hostages and this isn’t something that is negotiable. Starting from that point think about the best course of action to minimize civilian casualties. It’s not screaming “genocide.” it’s not blockading Israel, it’s not all the other ineffective actions that deluded activists scream about constantly. The best course of action to effectively minimize civilian casualties is exactly the course of action Joe Biden is taking.

If you actually cared about really minimizing civilian casualties you’d be supporting Joe Biden. If you felt the need to scream you’d scream at Hamas to release the hostages so this conflict has a chance of coming to an end. But it seems activists are more interesting in screaming the self-righteous anger and don’t really care about the lives of Palestinian people. But the self righteous anger gets a lot of internet points which is what you really care about, isn’t it?

Joe Biden actually cares about the Palestinian people more than you do. You’re just about being performative while being ineffective, while Biden is being effective without all the performative bullshit.
