The narrative that rabbis aren’t showing up for Mamdani— or that nobody believes that economic and labor justice are core Torah values — is false.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Screenshot of the “People Over Papers” website (iceout.org), which tracks and reports ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activity across the United States. The screen is divided into two main sections: a report list panel on the left and an interactive map on the right. Left Panel (Report List): Titled “47 Reports,” the panel displays user-submitted ICE sightings, each with a risk level, location, date, and time of submission and occurrence. Risk levels are color-coded: Critical Risk (red) High Risk (orange) Low Risk (green) The top report is a Critical Risk, unconfirmed sighting at "800 East Devon Avenue, Elk Grove Village, IL," submitted at 2:29 PM. Below it is a Low Risk report at "Devon Avenue & Lively Boulevard, Elk Grove Village, IL," submitted at the same time. Other reports shown include: A Critical Risk at Brandywine Town Homes Association, Villa Park, IL (submitted at 2:24 PM) A Critical Risk at Missouri Avenue NW & 14th St NW, Washington, DC (submitted at 2:23 PM) Right Panel (Map): A U.S. map shows pins indicating the locations of ICE activity reports. Pin colors match the risk levels (Green for Low, Yellow for High, Red for Critical). Clusters of reports are visible in the Northeast (New York City area), Midwest (Chicago area), and Washington, DC. Other isolated reports appear in Texas, Nebraska, and California. A map key in the top-right corner explains the pin colors. The map also includes standard navigation tools (zoom in/out buttons and a location marker). The header includes a banner that says: “Fuel the Mission — Support Us Now” and the site logo “People Over Papers.”

The FDA just approved a NEW generic abortion pill and anti-abortion leaders are LOSING it.
This approval means MORE PEOPLE GET MORE OPTIONS for abortion care. Conception Cops want to yank access entirely, but the agency gave the green light to ANOTHER generic version of the abortion pill.

Slavery was bad.

Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked girls. Now she gets work release.

This isn’t justice. It’s a reward.

She’s not reformed,she’s rehearsing her comeback. The system that let Epstein off the hook is doing it again.

The survivors get silence. She gets a job.

This isn’t a mistake. It’s how power works.

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating. Random street crimes are being used as pretexts for repression.

New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.

"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."

Federal agents spread out across D.C. streets amid Trump vow to crackdown on crime President Trump promised a weekend crackdown of Washington, D.C.'s homeless population and criminals. Trump activated federal agents to also be a show of force across the district.

I don’t have anything smart to say about this. It’s foolish, cruel, and deeply autocratic.

this is what they want ai to do and they'll destroy every single democracy on earth if you try to ban it

A brown graphic with tan text that reads: “When ICE agents come into our communities, we need to know who is behind the mask.” Below this text is a smaller graphic containing two images: on the left, an image of a person holding a sign that reads “immigrants are welcome here” with a blue overlay, and on the right, an image of an ICE officer wearing a mask and helmet with a tan overlay. The ACLU logo is featured in tan in the bottom left corner.

The VISIBLE Act would require federal agents to wear visible ID and ban their use of ski masks and other non-medical face coverings.

Urge your members of Congress to support this critical bill at aclu.org/pass_visible.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad
