‘Israeled,’ a new Urban Dictionary word, becomes proxy battleground in Middle East conflict #antisemitism

Users have contributed several entries for a new verb — ‘Israeled’ — since Oct. 7

The user-run internet lexicon Urban Dictionary emerged in the early 2000s to define and occasionally create online slang — and, in doing so, has both shaped and reflected the internet, as well as indexing it.

This is insane. Let's imagine this hypothetical scenario: A woman, bleeding badly, is admitted to the ER. While she is waiting, she fills up the chair she's sitting in with blood. When it's finally her turn there is a puddle on the floor.

She says "I'm having a miscarriage."

They say, "This is Texas, it's illegal to perform a D&C so go home."

BTW that is not hypothetical. This happened to me, but since I'm not in Texas I received the D&C and therefore I am still alive.

@TonyStark

Even after this scary moment, I still considered myself "pro-life" even though as I would not personally choose an abortion for convenience, if other women make that decision it's none of my business. Later, I learned this is actually a "pro-choice" position.

Emergency treatment for a miscarriage should not be illegal.

This is why we need women at every level of government.

This is the most idiotic "think piece" you will see all day:

The Secret of Trump’s Appeal Isn’t Authoritarianism:

"Mr. Trump enjoys enduring support because he is perceived by many voters — often with good reason — as a pragmatic if unpredictable kind of moderate." 🤢 🤮 🤮 🤮

‘Israeli female soldiers shot in crotch, vagina, breasts on October 7’

“It was often impossible for families to be shown faces – and it seems as if mutilation of these women’s faces was an objective in their murders."

Expressions of agony survived their deaths, army reservist Shari Mendes said as she described what experts saw when they identified and prepared for the burial the female bodies of Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
