US Supreme Court Is Legalizing Sex Discrimination

Some very important points about trans athletes. As he says the bans only apply to trans women but not trans boys / guys.   Plus as he also points out, the court and society don’t care about a smaller weaker boy getting their ass handed to them by a much bigger boy but a girl losing to another bigger girl is now against the law and the bigger girl must summit to have someone look at their genitals to make sure.   Hugs

Mehdi DEBUNKS NYT Columnist’s Viral Argument Denying Israel’s Genocide of Gaza

Mehdi takes down Bret Stephens’s viral argument and explains why Israel is unmistakably committing genocide in Gaza. Ever since Israel began their horrific war on Gaza, many pro-Israel pundits and genocide-denialists have suddenly decided that they know far more about war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide than actual human rights experts. How convenient! New York Times’ conservative columnist Bret Stephens is of course no exception. In this latest ‘DEBUNKED’ video, Mehdi breaks down why Stephens’s viral argument – in which he claims that calling Gaza a genocide is “farcical” – is total BS. Watch the full video above to watch Mehdi bring the receipts and show Stephens how real journalism is done.
