As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN And they are all Trump supporters "Liberal media" indeed

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility. So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned. This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

Beautiful Chicago today! My parents didn’t cross an ocean 🇮🇪 so that one day their grandchildren would bow to a king. #NoKings

Great article by Colin Sheridan in yesterday's Irish Examiner. There must be an end to all of apartheid Israel's crimes against Palestinians, including the Occupied West Bank and in Gaza. There must be self determination, freedom, justice and equality for all Palestinians. #FreePalestine

“Centrism” on any civil rights issue is merely a path to fascism. Fascism isn’t possible without an army of Centrists telling 2nd class citizens to be content with 2nd class citizenry.

The world is protesting Israel’s illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. #FreePalestine

Comunicado de la Global Sumud Flotilla

"I have no regrets at all" Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey sends a message from the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Where is Greta Thunberg? Where is Yvonne Ridley? Where is David Adler? Where is Tadhg Hickey?

Free Greta Thunberg, Free Mandla Mandela, Free Tadhg Hickey and free the hundreds of others Israel holds.

Ignorant and hateful politicians

Like all youth, LGBTQ youth need medical care providers who can support them from a place of knowledge, openness, and cultural competence about all aspects of their health and their identities. ⬇️ Keep reading. 📒 View MAP's full report: bit.ly/lgbtq-youth-report lgbtmap.medium.com/healthy-bodi...

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

"About 52% of the patients that I’m operating on are [gunshot wounds], and the other half are explosive injuries."

This isn’t cancel culture – it’s state-sanctioned censorship. The President of the United States should know and respect that our First Amendment protects speech even if he doesn’t agree with it. If Jimmy Kimmel can be fired, you can be too.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms. It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

I choose Illinois! Humanity comes first.

Wisdom from @pathfinder.coach

WFP Chief Cindy McCain describes how Israel killed over 60 aid-seekers in northern Gaza yesterday. “They were hungry. They were starving,” she said. “All of a sudden, Israeli tanks, Israeli guns, Israeli weapons of all kinds started firing at the crowd.”

Shameful

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Get Out The Vote New Yorkers!

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.
