‘I Feel Like I’ve Been Lied To’: When a Measles Outbreak Hits Home

If you were born before 1990, consider getting a measles vaccine booster.

🇮🇷 NEW: Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 950 people and wounded 3,450 others, according to the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists.

Of those killed, the group identified 380 civilians and 253 security force personnel.

Straight up racist, Islamophobic ads by Cuomo against Mamdani during NBA Finals.

This is the shit endorsed by the Democratic establishment and Wall St bros.

The situation is far worse than it was nine years ago, thanks to Israel's own lifelong nukes obsession, the fanatical Kahanist turn of the Israeli Parliament, and Congress's complicity. A nightmare scenario I've long feared may be coming.

I am against an Iran War more than I can express.

a project that lost funding via executive order:

How many Marine fathers can you kidnap and still expect the Marines to help you massacre citizens

Israeli bombs left this massive crater where Palestinian tents stood moments before. A direct hit on the displaced.

“The Mayor Is Not in Charge of the Jails Anymore” Efforts to end solitary confinement in New York City are in limbo due to Eric Adams’s orders to block reform, the race to replace him, and now the extraordinary federal takeover of Rikers.

Rikers Island officials say they no longer use solitary confinement practices in the jail. But mayoral candidate Brad Lander visited Rikers twice and disagrees. “What it is, is solitary,” Landers told Bolts. “It looks like torture—it is torture.” boltsmag.org/new-yor...

it is very bad for this country that stephen miller has, more than anyone else in trumpworld, figured out how to flatter his boss into doing exactly what he wants without ever losing favor

jesus.

Right I clocked that as well -- like the argument was not any less bigoted and violent and gross when it had footnotes

very rare that an update from Gaza is good to hear — but WCK’s tenacious commitment to its kitchens there is that rarity

I just donated again to support their work and hope you can & will too

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic' It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics.

I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

These are the kind of arrests that you know are just driving while brown arrests.

5% of Undocumented Migrants Are Black. They're 20% of Potential Deportations. Research exposes how racial disparities in policing have created a pathway from routine life to permanent family separation for Black migrants.

One of the most underreported aspects of life for Black undocumented migrants can be summed up in one statistic: They’re deported at a rate four times more often than their numbers would suggest.

ALL of trump's cabinet have declared NO REGIME CHANGE. Now he's 'tweeting' about a regime change. Listen to the words of Hannah Arendt.

Someone already said call the fire marshal. No pass go do not collect $200. Over crowding is a fire safety violation and they can and will shut them down.

People with serious medical needs, diabetes, thyroid conditions, are being denied their daily medications. One woman couldn’t check her blood sugar for over a day. Others have gone without essential medication for days.

Reports describe more than 20 people crammed into 12-by-12 foot cells, forced to sleep sitting up, with only one toilet and no privacy. The rooms are cold, access to food and water is limited, and hygiene is neglected.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

Republicans Add New Barriers to Oklahoma’s Dizzyingly Fast Process for Citizen Initiatives A new law adds to a string of GOP-run states that have undercut direct democracy by piling on onerous new regulations and raising the threshold for signatures.

Oklahoma has the nation’s shortest window of time for collecting the signatures needed to qualify citizen-led measures—just 90 days, compared to other states with initiatives, which all give canvassers 180 days or more. That sprint is about to get rougher. boltsmag.org/oklahom...

The U.S. helped oust Iran’s government in 1953. Here’s what happened. The U.S. has not publicly called for regime change in the current Israel-Iran conflict, but over 70 years ago, it played a key role in ousting Tehran’s government.

A thing most USians don't know & really should before expressing any opinion on Iran:

The 1953 coup that brought the Shah to power "was carried out under CIA direction as an act of US foreign policy, conceived & approved at the highest levels of govt."

Iran still feels some kinda way about it.

"Sleeper Cells": Groundwork for Repression Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste

People like Bannon are against forever wars, but it's not out of the kindness of their heart -- they just want all that firepower here at home, provoking civil war in cities like LA and locking down their power

Good news for them, bad news for us: they might get what they want after all

ICE raids at a Las Vegas flea market?

Nothing says “land of the free” like storming local vendors trying to make rent.

My hometown deserves better than this.

The End and the beginning After every war someone has to tidy up. Things won't pick themselves up, after all. Someone has to shove the rubble to the roadsides so the carts loaded with corpses can get by. Someone has to trudge through sludge and ashes, through the sofa springs, the shards of glass, the bloody rags. Someone has to lug the post to prop the wall, someone has to glaze the window, set the door in its frame. No sound bites, no photo opportunities, and it takes years. All the cameras have gone to other wars. The bridges need to be rebuilt, the railroad stations, too. Shirtsleeves will be rolled to shreds. 286 Someone, broom in hand, still remembers how it was. Someone else listens, nodding his unshattered head. But others are bound to be bustling nearby who'll find all that a little boring. From time to time someone still must dig up a rusted argument from underneath a bush and haul it off to the dump. Those who knew what this was all about must make way for those who know little. And less than that. And at last nothing less than nothing. Someone has to lie there in the grass that covers up the causes and effects with a cornstalk in his teeth, gawking at clouds.

After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won’t pick
themselves up, after all.

Someone has to shove
the rubble to the roadsides
so the carts loaded with corpses
can get by.

Large majorities of Americans, including many Republican voters, oppose bombing Iran. They might want to weigh in with both the House and the Senate.
