The Cradle

Israeli police demolish a mosque in the 'unrecognized' Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran in the Negev (al-Naqab) to make way for an Orthodox Jewish community.

According to a 2015 Israeli High Court of Justice ruling, the Bedouins in the village had been "illegally squatting" on land that belongs to Israel.

Israeli media claims the residents of the Bedouin community demolished their own homes and left, and that the mosque was one of the only structures remaining.

The Times of Israel writes, "The 37 unrecognized villages in the Negev house some 150,000 people, or roughly a third of Israel’s Bedouin population, according to the Council. Israel decided in the 1990s to raze some of the illegally built villages and build authorized communities in their stead."

Fanatic National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir praises the demolitions, boasting that he has overseen a 400% rise in demolitions in the Negev since the beginning of 2024.

Indigenous Palestinian Bedouins have always lived in the Negev desert. Just like the Colonizers in so called “United States” and “Canada” they came to the lands and decided what is law through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and white supremacist “western values”. To the colonizer it does not matter that the Indigenous peoples have lived on the land for centuries.

As a Palestinian Bedouin close to my heart, whose family was ethnically cleansed from Beersheba, once said “the land is ours, we will go home, you’ll see, you’ll see”

Give my girl Mary Shelly more credit! She did not keep her beloved dead husbands heart with her and potentially lose her virginity on her mothers grave to NOT be given credit as the most badass gothic writer! We would not have the sci-fi/horror genre we have today without her!

i really genuinely thought "FDR put japanese americans in camps" was common knowledge but i guess not

"the us education system-" WE LEARNED ABOUT THIS. YOU JUST DON'T REMEMBER BECAUSE YOU WERE DRAWING AN EYE

Apparently the Congo river is deep enough that there are several species of fish with cavedwelling adaptations (near-total to total blindness, loss of pigmentation, etc) because light doesn't reach where they live. the fuck

I'm going insane these literally look like cave fish but they're just from the bottom of a stupid deep river. What the fuck. What the fuck

I wonder why millionaire centrist Jake Auchincloss would be categorically opposed to any form of economic populism

lot of stupid shit in this but "end section 230" is a stealth pick for how catastrophic it would be for a free and open internet

The majority of the proposals that Jake is making here are apart of the Republican platform (balance the budget, secure the southern border, increase military spending, oppose government subsidies, baselessly scaremonger about college campuses, etc.), but ending Section 230 in particular is something the Trumpist Republicans want! If people wanted to vote for this stuff, they would just vote a straight Republican ticket

i can't stop watching this

much better footage of the haka that shut down parliament today

The thing about freeing the nipple is that it's not even about if you have breasts or not (already arbitrary but I digress) it's fully just gendered oppression. There is no ontological difference between Male Nipples and Female Nipples and all of it crumbles apart if you like, think even a little about people who aren't cis + perisex & how people try to apply these rules to them

Like the distinction between "breasts" and "not breasts" is arbitrary, as a lot of people have pointed out, but it's not really About that. It's not about what counts as breasts, it's about policing your body based on if you even loosely resemble the cultural idea of a Woman or not. Do you get it

And people will try to dress it up in inclusivity & land on shit like "female presenting nipples" & saying trans men who haven't had top surgery can be shirtless at their little queer event but not trans women & it's all just so ... can we be fucking serious? Can we be so fucking fr. It's incredibly transparent that it's just misogyny

You folks know that there is nothing inherently dangerous about penises, right? They don't emit radiation or anything. You will not be harmed by being in the same room as a penis.

Imagine making fun of women who don’t want to share spaces with men. Actually just mocking women. And then calling yourself a feminist

Hi! Trans women are women, for one thing, and patriarchy will never be defeated while the bioessentialist nonsense idea that men and women are different species and that the two genders are 'abuser' and 'victim' persists, hope this helps.

Ah! There’s your mistake you see. Radfems think Defeating Patriarchy is an impossible lost cause anyway; so any attempt to materially reduce its impact on daily life are obviously some sort of elaborate ploy to get “real women” to lower their guard or something.
