QudsNen: Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled to continue withholding the body of 14-year-old Palestinian boy Wadia Shadi Sa’d Elyan, killed by Israeli occupation forces near Ma’ale Adumim in February 2024.

And then I get down the hall and there’s someone on stage going, “Well, I guess I got to do my bit about trans people.” Like, no, you don’t. You don’t. (continued)
