More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Weird how my muscles feel all tense as if wrung out like a towel. Almost like I felt the stress of over 900 federal grants nearly being frozen while working under one of said grants for 15 years only to have a judge in DC stop that from happening with a few moments to spare. Weird.

White House pauses all federal grants, sowing alarm The order is "a potential five-alarm fire" for organizations that serve communities, nonprofit group executive says.

It’s what is said in private among themselves.

This is how they think about the rest of the world.

No one is considered an ally.

There will be no discussion.
