Arthur Waskow, rabbi who brought spirituality to politics, dies at 92 Waskow was arrested more than two dozen times for his activism. He also wrote more than two dozen books.

"Starting with his creation in 1969 of the โ€œFreedom Seder,โ€ ...that introduced contemporary liberation struggles into the ancient story... Waskow became one of the leading voices bringing Jewish spiritual wisdom to bear on the progressive political agenda."

Returning the Hostages and Stopping the Bombs is Good But the Trump Plan Ignores the Core Problem: Palestinians Are Not Free

If the bombs stop, and the hostages go home, that will be a tremendous blessing. Thank goodness. But there will never be real peace--Palestinians and Israelis will never enjoy real safety--until Palestinians are free.

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

What would Canada uncover if it examined carceral birthsโ€”children born to incarcerated mothers, especially those labeled โ€œjuvenile delinquentsโ€? These histories are still sealed under youth protection laws, leaving adoptees unaware of their institutional origins.

โ€œToday I learned about a term called a โ€˜glimmerโ€™. Which is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.โ€ #AltText

(around an image of the No Kings logo) ITโ€™S OFFICIAL

Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).
