Hind Rajab’s memory will live forever—just as the spirit of Palestine will never be extinguished.

I recommend Francis Weller’s The Wild Edge of Sorrow. IMO, necessary for these times. May 2026 be *so much* better.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

Hamas has put in writing they are ready to submit to any decision made by ICC. Israel is instead blocking ICC investigation, blocking UN from investigating rape claims, & blocking all media.

Corporate media is silent on this development. This is indefensible.

Manufacturing culture wars allows Republicans to sound faux populist without having to address the practical problems faced by most Americans — lack of paid sick leave, unaffordable child care and elder care, stagnant wages, and inadequate housing. Don’t fall for it.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. Here's why.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Reminder: It's never too late to start wearing a mask again

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

"Not since the UN partitioned Palestine in 1947 against the will of the indigenous people, setting the stage for 80 years of Nakba, has the UN acted in such a baldly colonial way, and trampled so recklessly on the rights of a people."

Including @marilynstrickland.bsky.social What a disgrace. Vote to represent your constituents!

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

Keep this story in the news.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

BREAKING: Resident of Washington state dies after being infected with H5N5 bird flu

A Grays Harbor County resident receiving treatment for H5N5 avian flu has died. The Washington State Department of Health extends its condolences to the family.

🤬 How Are Democrats This Dumb!? Peter Rothpletz on liberals fumbling what should have been their best week of the Trump era, calls for “hooligan Halligan” to be disbarred, and Nicki Minaj addressing the United Nations?

@petertwinklage.bsky.social is back with today's 'First Draft' on liberals fumbling what should have been their best week of the Trump era, calls for “hooligan Halligan” to be disbarred, and Nicki Minaj addressing the United Nations?

This is from August.

8 Senate Dems Fold on Trump Shutdown Chuck Schumer must resign and we must elect new leadership, because the American people deserve fighters, not folders

Below I provide the names, phone numbers, & a sample script to call these 8 Senate democrats who folded to Trump, & demand they reverse course and side with the American people.

When the illness itself is minimised, the treatments will be too. If you don’t grasp the biological seriousness of LC, you’ll keep testing low-impact fixes like brain games - and keep failing patients.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Vote out Schumer, Gillibrand, and every Establishment Corporate funded Democrat. They've failed us repeatedly and have no idea how to lead. The Democratic Party will either die or transform into new leadership. It cannot survive in its current state.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Flood their phones. Send emails. VOTE THEM OUT.

This is terrible.

Thank you. Please hold the line, even if your colleagues don’t. If we give in we lose it all.
