If only she was a truth teller & not someone (like too many) w/ deep seeded, unexamined prejudice, bias, & at times hate towards Israel & Jews. And don't @ me with she says she is not antisemitic, just anti Zionist. Trump says he is not a racist. Self proclamations aren't relevant - intentions are.

Harvard hasn't been "totally antisemitic." But ADL, AIPAC, Democratic/GOP members of Congress, and much of the media let Trump get away w/ this crap. Kanye West is "totally antisemitic." Trump had dinner w/ him & Hitler fanboy Nick Fuentes. The reporter who asked this should have challenged Trump.

what if we are in a world????

I think you missed the press release, we are well past "in a world" and firmly in the established reality.

For F#&! sake!

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

Moody’s downgrades U.S. credit as Congress considers bill that could add to deficits Moody’s knocked the government’s credit rating down a notch as debt soars.

Moody’s Ratings downgraded the United States’ credit rating, as the country’s debt soars and interest rates remain high.

The downgrade, from the highest rating to one notch below, comes as the president’s budget bill suffered a blow in Congress.

Media: let's report that whiner in chief's whining like it's legitimate.

Reality: HE'S FUCKING FAILING AND WHINING WHILE LYING ABOUT WHO'S TO BLAME! JFC YOU FUCKING HACKS TELL THE PLAIN UNVARNISHED TRUTH FOR A CHANGE INSTEAD OF SUGARCOATING AND GOLD PLATING HIS BULLSHIT WHINING!

Opinion: Separating rhetoric from reality in the Conservative crime platform Pierre Poilievre’s tough-on-crime proposals are performative at best, and will cause greater difficulty for the prison system at worst

No matter what you think of any party's position on crime, the reliance on academics & defence counsel to comment on criminal law in the media is problematic. That academics are quoted as speaking on behalf of or representing the experiences of prosecutors makes little sense to me.

Advocating for Palestinian rights doesn't mean you believe Israel shouldn't exist or are antisemitic. That kind of thinking needs to stop. Many people advocate for Palestinians in different ways. Don't assume they are antisemitic or anti-Israel. Israelis & Palestinians must look forward together.

Leadership matters. Who we elected matters. They aren't place holders. This is not leadership. It's ok to admit you are afraid. But if you are a US Senator & you have nothing else to offer & say you fear retaliation from the very group you helped keep in power you are not helping.

There is a sunset in the distance illuminating the tree, adding an orange glow to the pink petals covering the top of the image

It's easy to fight for the due process & the legal rights of those who you think are innocent or whom you believe are righteous. But it is even more important to speak out in favour of the #ruleoflaw & due process when those you disagree with are subject to arrest, detention, or deportation.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!” OTTAWA - Following months of declining Canadian travel to the USA, Americans have launched a tourism campaign inviting Canadians to visit locations like New York, Austin, and possibly even take an all...

If you are not familiar with the "news outlet" the @thebeaverton.com this is some brilliant stuff.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote.

I totally agree with @karenattiah.bsky.social, but isn't she a columnist at the @washingtonpost.com? Her employer didn't fumble the ball, he passed it directly to Donald Trump and she still works there. If Americans are going to stand on principle & stand together, it can't just be sometimes.

Bald eagles along the bayou in Houston, 2025

When I was young, there were <1,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 due to DDT, hunting, and habitat loss, and we never saw one the whole time roaming the prairies and mountains of SD. Today, there are 70,000+ and I see them daily. Governments can and should effect positive change.

A vile video I couldn't get through. Guy says he is the son of a Holocaust survivor & says events in Gaza are a Holocaust. Apparently, his dad never spoke to him about the actual Holocaust. Palestinians aren't in trucks taking them to be burned in ovens. Criticize & condem w/o this vile comparison.
