Tarnished by Oct. 7, Netanyahu’s legacy may be reshaped by war with Iran


TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)

Now, as Israel faces another unprecedented crisis in a war with Iran, Netanyahu appears rejuvenated. With the U.S. lending its support against a threat he has devoted his life to confronting, Netanyahu is demonstrating a resurgent confidence that could signal a new turning point in his lengthy political career.

Even as Iranian missiles pound Israeli cities, Netanyahu, 75, has the chance to salvage his sagging political fortunes and reshape a legacy punctured by Hamas’ attacks, a corruption trial and a history of divisive rule. If he succeeds, it will cement his reputation within Israel as a political wizard who can rise from the ashes.

Funder, Pilot, Survivor, Physician: Inside the Network Assisting Abortion Journeys


Three years ago, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority enabled states to severely restrict abortion or ban it outright. Since then, 17 states have enacted such limits; infant and maternal mortality have

Three years ago, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority enabled states to severely restrict abortion or ban it outright. Since then, 17 states have enacted such limits; infant and maternal mortality have risen in many of them.

But the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade extends far beyond medical catastrophes. It also appears in the quieter struggles—a myriad of small, compounding barriers that stand between individuals and their access to health care.

Nine million women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States now live more than 200 miles from the nearest abortion clinic. Census data analyzed by Middlebury economics professor and data expert Caitlin Myers shows that people in two states—Texas and Louisiana—are, on average, more than 400 miles away from clinical abortion care.When faced with an unexpected, unwanted, or medically complicated pregnancy, they’re forced to navigate not just highways and airports, but the tricky algorithms of daily survival: How to miss work without losing their jobs; who will watch their children while they’re away; how they’ll afford the trip—and where they can stay overnight to recover or wait out a state-mandated waiting period between an initial appointment and their abortion.

The Guttmacher Institute estimates that at least 324,700 people have left their states for abortions since the Dobbs ruling. In 2023, those people accounted for roughly one in six overall abortions in the states that allow them.

But there is at least one ray of light, a broad and determined network of abortion advocates—doctors, drivers, hotline volunteers, and even pilots who have stepped up to help. These humanitarians are not only assisting with travel and logistics, they’re showing up for desperate strangers navigating a system that hasn’t made abortion impossible, but has made it more challenging.

Abortion foes disparage these interstate quests for reproductive care as “abortion tourism,” an excuse to spend a long weekend by a hotel pool. But they are more akin to medical refugeeism—a journey of anxiety and cramping, not beaches and rollercoasters. “In an ideal world, people would just be able to get their abortion care in their community,” says Alisha Dingus, executive director of the DC Abortion Fund. But we’re obviously not in an ideal world. “In the short term,” says Dingus, one of nine people who share their experiences with abortion access below, “I hope that the abortion access movement can make navigating this easier.”

...but why? :breadthink:
Like, are they preparing long-term backups to be a "new" feature that's behind the subscription in a a year or two? That would make sense… or they're incompetent and try to avoid some problem their fancy AIs introduced and can't fix anymore.


The anti-nuclear hysteria that captured the public imagination for generations has not only contributed significantly to climate change, it has literally been responsible for killing hundreds of millions of people.

Still, it is never too late to change course.




One more example that Elizabeth Warren should run for President

Elizabeth Warren posted the following on Gaza, Netanyahu, and Israel, on 6/21.

"Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran.

People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food.

The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.”

The Israeli-US military strike on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility marks a significant escalation in the confrontation between Washington and Tehran, potentially leading to a broader regional or global conflict.

The incident reveals a deeper ideological battle between the US and Iran, with Washington targeting Iranian sovereignty and independence, and Tehran standing as a civilizational alternative to Western hegemony.

Again LGTBIQ+ is not a culture, is not a moral "compass", neither moral rules.

I have to remind you that we were persecuted by the Nazis with almost more virulence than the Jews.

That even today there are countries where we are executed? Or we are persecuted, like Russia and China, which are super Western. 😒

in reply to David

@DBG3D again, I'm pointing out that you have to look at this holistically. The socially liberal values of the west cannot be separated from the rest of western values and considered in isolation. The same culture that produced LGBT rights is also the one that's responsible for capitalist exploitation of the world.
in reply to Yogthos

@DBG3D and Israel conflict is a perfect example of how the west uses liberal social values to justify atrocities. Israel has been presented as progressive liberal state that's fighting against uncivilized barbarians who with regressive social values. This logic has literally been used for decades to paper over the atrocities Israel committed in Palestine.
in reply to Yogthos

I did not said anything about that. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
in reply to David

@DBG3D I'm pointing out that these things are directly related. You can just cherry pick aspects of western society you like, and ignore the rest. You have to look at how this civilization behaves holistically. The positive aspects such as social liberties, are often used to justified horrific atrocities against other cultures.
in reply to Yogthos

The LGTBQ+ rights were a product of the fights of trans people. In the 1930's for example there were less rejection against us, that changed with the nazis. And
I was not talking about that.

LGTBIQ+ people is even recognized as valuable members of the Indian American tribes (maybe not for all the right reasons...). And we were present even in Chalomagne times. He was gay.

We ARE NOT VALUES, we ARE PEOPLE like you or anyone else.

I stop this going backwards and forwards, because you do not know what you are talking about.

You didnt even spell it right or fully. 😒
