“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review.

Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

Rubio and the Trump Administration are doing everything they can to foment a humanitarian disaster in Cuba.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Israel attacked UN forces in Lebanon. It’s nowhere near the first time either.

Like Ryan Coogler said, “Every day I wake up, I get to contribute. That’s what I’m focused on.”

And “I try to protect my love for what I do, as best I can.”

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

The public transit + cargo bike challenge is one we need to put more energy and resources into solving.

My 89 yo Lebanese-Palestinian-Italian grandmother, who fled the Nakba in 48 as a child to Lebanon, has essentially never lived more than a few years at a time in nearly a century of existence without being impacted by Israeli state violence.

And then they call this 'crisis in the middle east.'

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Trump says regime change in Cuba is ‘question of time’ after Iran Trump administration has tightened sanctions meant to degrade Cuban economy and threatened to topple government.

By participation in Gaza genocide, silence on Nigeria, complicity in Venezuela and a complete abject failure to stand up for human life or international law in Iran - this is what Britain has created. Today's genocidal fascist expansionism is straight from the 1930s playbook.

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
