Trump's war on pronouns continues with the deletion of an online presentation made by a federal worker giving advice to write plainly by using pronouns such as "you" to address readers directly instead of terms like "the purchaser" (nothing to do with gender identity or D.E.I.)
As Koebler points out, this demonstrates a laughable pettiness, but there are more consequential deletions among the ongoing data purge

"An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in Israeli military detention over the past 20 years..
Reasons for the arrest of children [include] participation in a gathering of merely 10 people without a permit, on any issue “that could be construed as political”..
“Israeli authorities, however, regularly arrest Palestinian children during nighttime raids, interrogate them without a guardian present"

HOSTILE TAKEOVER BID by imperialist autocrat prompts current colonial occupiers to stop ignoring (some) demands by indigenous population for basic rights, recognition, and respect.
Longstanding racist policies are being re-considered.
“All of a sudden, now there’s an agreement on the table,” says Hansen, incredulous. “Which seems magical and also weird at the same time, because why wasn’t that possible before Trump’s visit?”

Did fucking Donald Trump just help accomplish what Biden refused to the last one and half years?
Gonna wait to see how this plays out, but a pause, maybe an end to the carnage is in sight. Trauma, grief, and oppression will remain even if the ceasefire holds
"What is abundantly clear, however, is that Joe Biden and Antony Blinken’s repeated claims that “they can’t tell Israel what to do” were just as bogus as their detractors have repeatedly claimed"
