Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

James only got his freedom only after training his brother to take over for him. Jefferson couldn't do without his mac and cheese.

Inside a Gaza hospital: A British surgeon on what he's witnessing firsthand Dr. Nick Maynard tells NPR he's treating children shot at food distribution sites and witnessing what he believes is the systematic destruction of Gaza's civilian infrastructure.

This is an extraordinary interview. Please listen.

All those rich people buying up all the land in Hawaii for houses and plantations should be put to the task of stopping this. Might as well put their celebrity to good use since the native people they've displaced won't be listened to.

Immigration authorities demand landlords turn over tenant information Some legal experts and property managers say the demands they reviewed pose serious legal questions because they're not signed by a judge and may violate a housing discrimination law.

JFC, bulk subpoenas: “Immigration authorities are demanding that landlords turn over leases, rental applications, forwarding addresses, identification cards and other information on their tenants” www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

It’s funny to me that people keep talking about midterm elections…as if we’re actually going to have midterm elections.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Wow. Please, PLEASE watch this two-minute video.

In which Lisa Murkowski, in a self-pitying way, admits to being everything that is wrong with the politics of this moment.

May every single human being on this planet be safe.

May every single person be protected from harm.

May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

When Black people told you that it is a normal occurrence for police to lie about protest and assaulting officers now you see ... the test run for the justification of authoritarianism always begins in communities of color

This is why so many Black people became so disgusted by other Black people who dismissed the last few elections. Or even allowed themselves to be used by "liberals" who talked down on our elders. Some of us are only a generation removed from Jim Crow. We still live with their stories and ptsd
