Dystopian. But not imaginary, it's our new, sad reality.

Yes, this! I am crying happy tears for the tie.

Thank you, Bernie Sanders! www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/o...

Thank you, Nicholas Kristof, for writing this. Hoping all Senators, including Chris Murphy and Dick Blumenthal, are listening. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/o...

The banality of evil www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/w...

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Joyful, joyful!

Please oppose the plan to add work requirements to public housing. This article tells you why and how. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Yes to this.

This is disgusting on every conceivable level. What has happened to this country? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

Why are we doing this to hungry children? “Arizona is just the alarm bell,” said Joseph Palomino, executive director of the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, a nonpartisan advocacy organization. “This is likely going to happen in every state.”

No man is an island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

Trump has denied most disaster aid requests from Democratic-led states.

Well, yes "he has lied about the reasons for the war and about its progress, in an apparent attempt to disguise his poor planning and the war’s questionable basis." And the worst part is that it would be more surpirising if he didn't lie. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/o...

ICYMI (I did!) US was the only country to vote against Women’s Rights Document at UN Commission healthpolicy-watch.news/us-isolated-...

UPDATE: BBC Verify RT’s Bellingcat’s post with video of a missile dropping on the facility where the girls’ school was located - the missile matches 🇺🇸 tomahawks and “appears to contradict Trump’s claim” it was Iran 🤔

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "Isn't it is just a sad moment for our country when a member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people aren't apes?"

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

This is atrocious. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/19/i...

Judge: As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto Ignorance is Strength, this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not.

Oh, okay. I'll bite. The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution. The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

This will have a far-reaching and long-lasting impact on us all. Vaccine Makers Curtail Research and Cut Jobs www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/h...

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

None of this is normal

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

More attention here, please.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the position of the Trump Republican Party is: “constitution, nonstarter.”

It’s hard to focus on one thing to be appalled about, but these stories out of Minnesota are awful. (And, of course, on the other hand, very encouraging.) I cannot believe you can wrongly grab somebody, transport them, and then leave them where YOU took them.

Some good news.

Renee Nicole Good said ‘I’m not mad at you’ before ICE agent shot her, video shows

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Housing First! Some small bit of good news.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

No. Please stop this. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/a...

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people. Nothing trickles down — and the tax cuts don't "pay for themselves."

SCOTUS decision in DHS v. DVD is horrifying. Apparently there is no right to due process before being deported to a country likely to torture or kill you. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)
