How Jesse Jackson helped empower US Arabs and lift up the Palestinian cause Arab American advocates eulogise Jackson as a civil rights giant who embraced their communities and defended Palestine.

"The holocaust was tragic, not unique" the ideologies that made the holocaust possible made slavery and every genocide and the current ethnic cleansing in the USA possible: facisim.

Until no group is raised above another "never again" will keep happening again and again.

Yeah, all the spicy art I own is in books and magazines.

Small wins will add up.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

"What you can't have is the gov't being able to crack down on any speech they don't like just by saying that, it hypothetically could lead to some harm. That's an invitation for the government controlling whatever it wants about our speech when we criticize or speak about the government," McDonell.

What GLP1s should teach people is that it was never about willpower and it isn't a moral issue. But people don't want to have that conversation.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

This captures my fear about these drugs - that people will see their existence as license to be even crueler to fat people and to further police what an acceptable body looks like. I already see it in people I know- they use the drugs to confirm their judgments rather than question their assumptions

In October it was 50%.

Who wants to bet if it will be closer to 51% or 47% in July?🔮🧙🏿‍♂️

That's +2% or -2% from 49%.

Ingrid and her two young children, one of them a U.S. citizen, had gone for a routine check-in, only to spend the holidays trapped in a hotel room awaiting their seemingly inevitable deportation.

This week, they returned to the scene of their arrest.

This is a subtle point but I’ll try it out as a “yes, and”: What Minnesota (not just Minneapolis) showed us is even bigger than “love your neighbor,” because in Minnesota, “neighbor” is a more expansive category than proximity. It’s anyone who needs help.

"OpenAI currently faces several lawsuits related to its products’ safety, making this change newsworthy. Many of the plaintiffs suing the AI company allege psychological manipulation, wrongful death and assisted suicide, while others have filed negligence claims."

OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders OpenAI’s restructuring may serve as a test case for how society oversees the work of organizations with the potential to both provide benefits and harm humanity.

Remember when Google used to have "do no evil" As its goal? In a system that prioritizes greed, everything else is disposable.

JUST IN: “Buy now, pay later” options may soon expand to rent payments.

When basic necessities like housing start being financed like items in a shopping cart, that’s not innovation — it’s a warning sign. Working people shouldn’t have to go into debt just to keep a roof over our heads.

It's Oligarchy and a celebration of greed. We need leaders who prioritize public health over corporate wealth.

The Woman Alex Pretti Was Killed Trying to Defend Is an EMT. Federal Agents Stopped Her From Giving First Aid. One of the women Alex Pretti was killed trying to defend is an EMT. Federal agents stopped her from giving him first aid.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.

The intention of policies like this proposal is to introduce so much friction, so much pain, so much discomfort and humiliation, that a child desists rather than continue to assert their true identity.

It is nothing less than conversion therapy being written into school policy.

On Lynchings in America Support my blog with a Tip Typically when we think about lynching, we rightfully connect the killings to the tremendous numbers of Black men, women and children killed during the Jim Crow Era. They w...

today on my blog, I wrote an op-ed about the history of lynching, and why its extrajudicial nature is so aptly documented by Black journalists like Georgia Fort and Black activists like Nekima Levy-Armstrong the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/on-lynchings...

Of couse it never was about athletes its about finding minorities to hate and use as political scapegoats.

The FBI actively threatening Republicans in Congress saying that it will criminalize their staffers seems like something that should be front page news.

Walmart just became a trillion-dollar company, joining the ranks of corporate giants at the very top.

Meanwhile, some Walmart workers start as low as $14/hour, and thousands still rely on SNAP & Medicaid to get by. That gap isn’t accidental. It’s a choice about who this economy is built to reward.

Walz expects big drawdown in federal agents within days At an event Tuesday to highlight business hardships, Walz said he believes a bigger drawdown could be just days away. He said it shouldn't be weeks or months. "We're very much in a trust but verify mo...

Meta drops $65 million into super PACs to boost tech-friendly state candidates The efforts launched last fall to counter what the company cast as a flood of overly burdensome AI bills from state governments.

Meta just poured $65 million into pro-tech super PACs — funding candidates who align with its agenda and using big money to shape elections and policy.

That’s corporate power influencing politics, not helping workers or lowering costs. https://seiu.co/4qiyXit
