Here is the correct opinion, written by me, natch. www.salon.com/2019/12/25/h...

Disgraceful

"Moral injury is the social, psychological, and spiritual harm that arises from a betrayal of one's core values, such as justice, fairness, and loyalty."

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Washington Post has just published every single known name. A seminal moment.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are directly implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In response, the United States must stop all military assistance to Israel. There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.

That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-white-...

If you’re seeing this, I’d love for you to interact so more people can see it too. This doesn’t happen without you, the friends who’ve shown up, shared the work, and kept building this with me. 💐

Absolutely.

What do “The New Jim Crow” and the AP Psych textbook have in common? They’re two of the 596 books that Secretary Hegseth pulled from DoD schools. American servicemembers signed up to defend our freedom—their families shouldn’t be made victims of right-wing political correctness and censorship.

Good human, remember: The exhaustion you feel right now? The Resting WTF The Face you walk around with every day? The scalding rage bubbling just beneath the surface? This is all by design. This is intentional. This is the fascists’ master plan. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/these-fcke...

I'm really asking everyone to please stop using Alligator Alcatraz. This is not a descriptor that makes sense. These are concentration camps.

📌Hear me: This man will be the next mayor of New York City, and it will start a stunning electoral tsunami that will roll this country and overturn the balance of power. Hundreds and hundreds of seats thought to be safe will fall. It's a year too late, sure, but people are fed up AND WILL BE HEARD.

Absolutely disgusting.

Today, Frank Bruni said it best: our age is one of "...celebrity petting zoos... " [NYT 6.30.25] The weddings! The marches! The wars! And I hope the Gray Lady owns a .mirror or two.

This is AWESOME—earlier today, people from @planetoverprofit.org protested Peter Thiel’s Palantir by blocking the doors to the company’s NYC Office while chanting: “Say it once, say it twice, Palantir works with ICE!”

WATCH: “It was one of the great political victories in modern history,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on Zohran Mamdani defeating Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary. “Zohran ran a brilliant campaign.”

again, more than 40% of Cuomo's 2025 endorsers called on him to resign four years ago and I think it's incredibly important to recognize the breadth of cowardice from the current political class and the depth of courage of the women who stood up to him, like @lindseyboylan.bsky.social.

Paraphrasing here, but isn't he the one who said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and face no consequences? And here we are.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

vance has the absolute worst case of "i am the smartest person in every room" syndrome i have ever seen.

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing… say it again!

While regenerative A.I. sounds futuristic, the energy required to power them comes from burning good, old fashioned dinosaur bones If you’re wonder where bazillionares like Elon Musk are building these new toxic, environmentally unfriendly data centers… You must be new here.

A guy in a backwards baseball cap and mask? WTF

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence. This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

Perfect.

It is as though the NYTimes is afraid to admit dissent and resistance exist here. In my online version, pictures of No Kings protests start as "headline 10." Infuriating...but expected, I guess.

Mohawk Valley strong!

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

How did my Rep make this list? Why? NY 22 will remember.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

We have known for years the true dangers of "less than lethal" weapons and yet we persist in causing their harms. And so it goes.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy. We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.

Trump's proposed data-sharing deal with Palantir would be an appalling attack on our privacy. It goes hand-in-hand with his attacks on habeas corpus. Liberals and conservatives should agree on this: we don't want mass surveillance or erosions of our civil liberties.

And, with Palantir's continued incursions, we won't need conventional policing. Many saw that coming, but how do we stop it?

Please spend some time listening to my convo with journalist @mattbinder.bsky.social about Palantir, Peter Thiel, and the broligarchy working with the Trump Regime to gather all of our data and create a mass surveillance state. More people need to know this.
