Thank you Bernie, this is progress but I am deeply ashamed that my Senators @padilla.senate.gov & @schiff.senate.gov voted no: nothing else you do matters if you can’t understand that this is a basic test of our humanity β€” and you are both failing πŸ’”

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food. It calculated how much Gaza needs – but data shows how this is being withheld

Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period …

Even if every bag of UN flour had been collected and handed out … starvation was inevitable. Palestinians did not have enough to eat.”

Doctor Denies Woman Prenatal Care Because She’s Unmarried A Tennessee woman was forced to flee her state to seek treatment for her pregnancy.

A Tennessee woman was denied prenatal care by her doctor because she is "unwed."

Let's be clear: the Republican agenda is not pro-life or pro-family.

If it were, pregnant women wouldn't be forced to flee their home states to get basic prenatal care.

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.
