When will there be the first tenant President of the United States?

Secondary/vicarious trauma is a very real thing, and it’s astounding how much people just disregard it.

Children with disabilities are facing a double threat from federal cuts to support systems they need every day. Medicaid covers costs for more than 6,600,000 of them and the Dept. of Ed protects their rights at school. Tell Congress: Hands off Medicaid ➡️ actionnetwork.org/letters/medi...

One way of understanding the current disaster and both Democrats’ and the Left’s failure to respond that certainly liberals but also too many leftists do not consider is that the empire always comes home.

Klein & Derek Thompson are total grifters. We’ve not just talked about but organized around opposition to “scarcity politics” for decades on the Left, pushing positive visions recognizing abundance to scores of working people agreeing. This is another capitalist co-optation.

Israeli forces continue attacks on Gaza despite the ceasefire, while the US launches air strikes on Yemen after Houthi rebels vow to resume targeting Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea over Gaza's total blockade. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/70xy4p

I don’t post much to Instagram, but I think what I post is pretty good, if not important… www.instagram.com/p/DGZZf6vsaP...

“It’s open war against the whole existence of the Palestinian people in the West Bank.” Israel's army issues forced evacuation threat for Nur Shams refugee camp as it continues its deadly assault across the occupied West Bank aje.io/ahgod2

Why? This is someone who is entirely inactive in his community, who has absolutely nothing to offer in terms of organizing whatsoever, and who makes money off Trump’s name. This is liberalism at its most poignant finest.

Creating a “cool lefty scene around a bar” is not fucking organizing.

Propagandhi, 1993: “The West Bank The Gaza Strip The West Bank The Gaza Strip Soon to be parking lots For American tourists And fascist cops, yeah Fuck Zionism Fuck militarism Fuck Americanism Fuck nationalism” youtu.be/8aeGZpBLxK4

It’s sometimes hard when you’re alone to feel like you’re deserving of love and respect. It’s really hard to go to bed questioning that.

This.

By the end of the spring, there’s going to actually be a legal definition of “woke.”

There are going to be 200,000 lawsuits against the Trump administration by the end of the week… apnews.com/article/dona...

Let’s have some insomniac BlueSky fun…

Happy Birthday, Antonio Gramsci.

Never in my life has liberalism been so clearly defined as the current moment of being horrified by Trump while shrugging at—or cheering on—Israel’s ongoing genocide. It’s the cleave that shows the bone.

Israeli forces block ambulances from entering Jenin and its refugee camp during "Operation Iron Wall," leaving Palestinians "bleeding out in the streets" as at least 10 are killed and dozens wounded. 🔴 LIVE updates:

Well, this aged well…

Political analyst Pietro Stefanini says while there is relief that a ceasefire deal has been reached in Gaza, the cessation of fighting does not end “the structural genocide” that Palestinians have faced since 1948. 🔴 Read analysis: aje.io/gwq7oo

Countries must impose “deterrent international sanctions” against Israel for its “colonial settlement system” in the occupied West Bank, says Palestine’s Foreign Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️ aje.io/43jy7a

THE BRUTALIST is maybe the most incoherent movie I’ve ever seen.

Several Palestinians have been wounded in an Israeli drone attack west of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to the report 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dcziju

Nearly 100 Palestinians, including 20 in Jabalia, have been killed as Israel escalates attacks in Gaza since Wednesday’s ceasefire announcement. 🔴 LIVE updates: http://aje.io/lmgoxr

A number of people have been wounded in an Israeli attack on the Khirbet al-Adas area, north of Rafah in southern Gaza, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

Finally finished SAY NOTHING (the series). It’s brilliant and the very definition of Raymond Williams’ idea of “the structure of feeling.”

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Great question. youtu.be/2P2o3sUR8QY?...

What’s up, #InsomniaSky?

Simple, devastating beauty from @cphillipspoet.bsky.social.

One of the main questions I have going into 2025 is if we’ll see a Neel/Grogu team-up/romance.

A “magnetar” seems like the very definition of Timothy Morton’s idea of a “hyperobject.”

Great job landing LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, but for the first time ever, @robmahoney.bsky.social has let me down by not including THIRST on his list. I don’t really like vampire movies, but THIRST is the best vampire movie.

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...

Finally saw HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS thanks to this episode, and I’m in the fanclub. What is it? #BeaverHive?

At least 10 people were killed, including five journalists, and more than a dozen wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza, medics with the Gaza health authorities said reut.rs/4gPOe6d

Another expert report finds Israel is committing genocide. Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Medecins Sans Frontieres are all agreed. But the West yawns as the Gaza genocide is now just another routine news item, buried on the inside pages www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza...

I absolutely love “stats” like “first player with 4 blocks and 4 3s ever on Christmas Day.” They should lean into that more. #NBASky
