“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

"DHS is terrorizing our communities and staging violent spectacles to produce fascist propaganda — and sometimes, for what appears to be purely recreational violence. This is a pivotal moment in the struggle against fascism ... The entire country must raise their voices against this aggression."

an abstract sculpture stands in a field, the sculpture has non-linear forms resting on a top another and has a blue gradient color effect

every time I remember (1) I actually have a membership to the Whitney and (2) their reciprocal membership program is the best and (3) I get to use it, an angel gets it wings. (I’m the angel)

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

the horrors are never ending.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Animal Care Centers of NYC, the city’s largest contracted animal shelter, offers resources to financially strained pet owners struggling to keep their furry friends.

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

that’s my entire hot take. I’m going to go back to reading about gay baseball players and having a very at home Friday night.

not a mega fan of either of these pop girlies (have appreciated both of their work in the past!) but I revisited sympathy is a knife in light of that diss track and frankly!! sympathy is a knife is brilliantly produced, has aged incredibly and is so mature in its themes. this response? makes me sad.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Israeli navy intercepts most Gaza-bound flotilla boats and arrests activists Israeli navy forces boarded most of the vessels and detained dozens of activists and a number of European lawmakers aboard a flotilla bring aid to Gaza,, drawing condemnation from around the world.

I am grateful to the humanitarians on this flotilla, including Austinite Greg Stoker, who attempted to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza.

They must be immediately and safely released by Israeli authorities. End the blockade and genocide now.

“They Took Everyone”: ICE Raids 75th Street Apartment, Detains Migrants and U.S. Citizens Alike

“‘My building is shaking. So, I'm like, “What is that?” Then I look out the window, it's a Blackhawk helicopter,’ said witness Dr. Alii Muhammad.”

Raiding a Chicago apartment building from above as if they were on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Absolutely demented.

You should report Gov. Hochul’s ‘inflation refund’ checks on your taxes Federal charges won’t be deducted from the face value of the rebate checks, so it will be up to New Yorkers to report the rebate. The program will send hundreds of millions of dollars to the administration of President Donald Trump. [ more › ]

Republican extremists would rather shutdown the government than lower healthcare costs for working-class people.

Got one of those subscription

my zetrocard was stolen ☹️

actually my whole bag including my new phone and my (old) wallet were stolen and it’s been a whole thing and frankly I don’t want to talk about it but the loss included my zetrocard lol

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

This passage nearly broke me.

Screenshot of a NYTimes headline and subhead that reads: "N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Move to Capitalize on Adams’s Departure Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa hit the campaign trail on Monday after Eric Adams left the race, while Andrew Cuomo called donors." Highlighted in blue is "while Andrew Cuomo called donors."

Same as it ever was.

Man detained in Cato ICE raid wrongfully deported, separated from his family Body camera footage released from the raid shows agents referring to immigrants as 'animals.'

People who treat the terrain of politics as fixed or natural have no business opining on it.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
