I'm writing an intro & sourcebook on late ancient Gazan literature for Dar al-Kalima University Press. The press and I plan to produce an Arabic translation to make Gazan literature more accessible to Palestinians. Help me compensate the Gazan translator!

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Standard HR behavior

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Please do something more than make a speech or a post. Impeach this lying criminal and get it back in the hands of the people!

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

Israel breaks ceasefire

No Kings Coalition says two million more people protested today than in June. Nearly 7 million total.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

That’s how kings usually work

Is peaceful protest not a foundational truth of America?

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Those wolf tracks and those howls you can hear are not a wolf. Don’t point out the wolf droppings or the mauled carcasses. Those aren’t a wolf, and it is an overreaction of all you silly people to say so.

Yeah it's not like anybody's been grabbed off the streets by masked agents for publishing an op-ed or anything

I’m out of good responses to this authoritarian bullshit.

FBI fires agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

JERUSALEM (AP) — In 'unprecedented operation,' Israeli army takes over mobile phones of Gaza residents to carry Netanyahu UN speech live.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

Let’s start calling them “debates” instead of protests.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

Although the benefit of the doubt only flows one way. The Leftist point of view is always questionable. The conservative point of view is always permissible.

A person may only see clips of Charlie Kirk speaking gently and with compassion for those he disagrees with. I on the other hand have a feed that displays clips only filled with his racist and authoritarian ideas and attitudes. How do we cross that information divide?

One of the dangers of algorithmic social media is the skewed picture it provides/determines. Clips from an hour long podcast can be made to provide distinct depictions of the content. The algorithmic distribution of those clips can be used to reinforce opposite points of view without overlap.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.
