The US Holocaust Memorial Museum says that β€œgenocide prevention” is a key part of its mission.

But they are silent on Israel's #genocide in #Gaza.

Museum executives have received 60K emails urging @ushmm.bsky.social to end its silence.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Israel does not provide bomb shelters to its Palestinian / Arab citizens.

Israel builds bomb shelters in Jewish communities but ignores Palestinian / Arab communities in Israel.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

The Fight Against Musk Doesn’t End With DOGE Elon Musk has billions of dollars and β€œ40+ years” to shape the political world in his image. That’s why activists can’t stop now.

Elon may have left the White House... But we still need to keep the pressure up to fight against fascism and fight for democracy.

That's why we say #TeslaTakedown + #DivestMusk

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that.

On Friday, I asked Gov. Tim Walz about Trump punching down at the weak:

"What would it mean for Democrats to be really good at punching up?"

What do you think of his reply?

Video shows a young man carrying his dead father on a bicycle after he was shot while trying to secure food parcels at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site in Gaza.

Israeli forces have killed more than 220 Palestinians at GHF aid distribution sites since they opened.

Trump's Military Crackdown Is Starting To Dent His Poll Numbers New surveys show voters oppose Trump’s militarized immigration crackdown in Los Angeles.

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason

Thank you Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and Rep. Davidson for your sober words re the US, Israel, and Iran.

Too many US politicians are too quick to rubber stamp the next Middle East war.

A different world IS possible.

If you are a New Yorker who is tired of Cuomo's broken politics, get out there and VOTE for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Non-violent action must not be met with violence.

Greta Thunberg & the Madleen crew are exemplifying humanitarian solidarity in response to the catastrophic suffering wrought by the Israeli's gov's blockade and starvation of Gaza.

We call on lawmakers to demand that their safety is ensured.

First electric aircraft lands at JFK β€” General Aviation News According to Beta Technology officials, the ALIA can fly 250 nautical miles on a single charge. He told reporters from Reuters that it cost just $8 to power the 45-minute flight.

First 100%-electric flight landing at JFK airport cost $8 for the electricity (to travel 70 nautical miles in 35 minutes).

That's $1.60 per passenger for the 5 passengers.

"Drastically reduces the cost of flying"

"Quieter, simpler"

Thousands of people have called on Congress to cut off funding for Elon Musk's companies, including SpaceX.

2/ This planet is our home, and it is our only home.

I don't want to be on that Interstellar rocket, desperately looking for another planet while saying goodbye to everyone that I love.

And I don't want to be left behind to inhale the fumes and dust of a dying home.

This headline reminds of the movie Interstellar, in which large apocalyptic dust clouds overtake a Midwestern town on a dying Earth.

Science fiction? Yes.

But I've already woken up to the Martian orange sky of the San Francisco Bay Area on that fateful pandemic day in 2020.
