Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people β€” a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

"Our restaurants, cafes, mosques, universities, and libraries were ... the heart of our communities. But Israel has bombed all of Gaza's beloved institutions into dust. As our lives remain in limbo, we are rebuilding home in our mindsβ€”because memory is the only homeland that cannot be occupied."

At Moonlight we are building and supporting parallel institutions: projects and organizations by the people that provide services and resources that government SHOULD be offering to challenge dominant structures and reveal their corruption.

Thirteen unhoused people were hurt in Minneapolis.

And America shrugs.

These folks are not invisible. Not disposable. Not less human.

The relative silence on this tragedy is a moral failure.

Our lead ship on the Global Sumud Flotilla was droned and caught fire. The six who were onboard are safe, and our mission will continue. They know international opinion is turning inexorably against them. Bombing peaceful humanitarians won’t exactly help that, but it’s the only response they’ve got.

I will never forget how the Dems did more to crackdown on student protesters trying to stop a genocide than they've ever fought against Trump. If you can mobilize an army of cops to brutalize a small group of unarmed 20-year-olds, you can order them to prevent a fascist takeover of your city.
