WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare
COMER: We believe that's your fault
WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible
They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.
My retired parents are thinking of canceling their planned trip to Spain in 2 months because "Spain isn't our friend right now. They are protesting in the streets against America."
I don't know how to explain to them that nobody in the world is "America's friend" because America is a rabid dog.
No matter how desperately our politicians try to convince us otherwise, Israel isn't good for us. The new U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which Americans overwhelmingly do not want, is the latest proof of that. It's time for us to end the relationship.

Out of the Lab, Into the Streets: An Oral History of the 2022 UAW Strike at the University of California Edited by Aleida García Aguirre, with Molly Vine and Patrick Dexter $25.95 $20.76 USE COUPON CODE "MARCH" WHEN CHECKING OUT Out of the Lab, Into the Streets tells the story of how academic workers built the largest strike in the history of American higher education and set a new standard of militancy in one of the fastest growing sectors of the labor movement. In doing so, these workers also taught organizers everywhere lessons about the effectiveness of collective power cemented through worker-to-worker organizing, militant escalation strategies, and cross-union solidarity. On November 14, 2022, academic workers of the University of California began a strike that brought workers out of the lab and into the streets for six weeks to fight for more equitable working conditions. The strike was a point of arrival and a process at the same time. It was the hard-fought achievement of a short- and long-term history of union organizing and a learning practice for workers across campuses, disciplines, job classifications, political affiliations, and identities. This book documents the everyday and on-the-ground making of union organizing and power building. The nine workers who gave lengthy testimonies for this project challenge preconceptions about the advantages and difficulties of organizing in higher education. They make insightful analyses of how being active union members transformed them personally and reshaped their approach to science and education. Union organizers and other activists will find lessons and reflections on core topics for the labor movement: how to build a worker-led union, the practical meaning of democracy during mass action, dissent and unity amongst workers, and how to measure a fight's success.
This book is probably worth checking out if you have any interest in 21st century labor organizing.

Iran Is Morally Superior To The United States
Iran is better than the United States. The United States is worse than Iran.
This is true not because Iran is especially good, but because the United States is especially evil.

Watch the voting. AIPAC Dems like Schumer, Jeffries & Fetterman LOVE this war. They work for Israel, not us.

JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner.

POLICE OFFICER: "You are causing provocations"
Apparently Israeli police hate freedom of speech for Jews too.
Who knew?
Who’s gonna defend these anti war Israelis?
Not Trump.
Not the Dems.
Not Bibi.
Not the MIC.
Not Fox or CNN or MSNBC.
And not the IDF.
That’s for sure.
Who’s antisemitic now?

You don't have to love all of these movies, but you do have to understand that a studio that makes Sinners and One Battle and Mickey 17 and Wuthering Heights and The Bride and Weapons grasps its responsibility to filmmaking and its own history and tradition in a way that David Ellison does not.

It's not just China that is seeing how weak the US is.
Europe is too.
US Democrats are furious that someone has started a war without cutting them in on the action.

The 1953 Soviet propaganda illustration depicting "War" served at a restaurant table while other social needs are ignored by Yuliy Ganf.
Published in 1953 for Krokodil magazine, it satirizes Western, particularly American, prioritization of militarism over social welfare.
Turns out US soldiers who conscientiously object can exit US army w/ FULL benefits/honorable discharge.
Have to do some interviews but that's it, there's a whole US network eduating about & organising aid to conscientious objectors.
ZERO REASON TO NOT EXIT US ARMY BY CONSCIENTIOUSLY OBJECTING.

NEW: Until we center children fully, fiercely, and without compromise, no liberation is complete.
Every policy, every system, every movement must begin with one question:
What does this mean for the children?

This is… I’ve gone through most of my life thinking these shooters were kids just like me. That their circumstances weren’t that much different from mine.
It turns out they were just Nazis and there wasn’t much wrong with me.
So, when I was mercilessly picked on for being an immigrant and a weirdo at school, and got told that I was a risk to the school because of it, that was the result of LIES? LOL
01.03.2026 20:04 — 👍 20 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0They've done this shit literally every time the shooter wasn't some easily demonized minority group and it's so frustrating and they even cover up Nazi ideology when it is. Right wingers are responsible for like 90% of mass shootings and other "extremist violence" but they literally deleted studies.
