I’m not anti-Zionist—I’m anti-genocide. I drafted the definition of antisemitism. Rightwing Jews are weaponizing it www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Drug prices are climbing on hundreds of medicines even as Trump claims he’s bringing prices down. Pfizer is planning the largest number of hikes, around 80 medicines. Another case of Trump’s “don’t believe your lying eyes.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Your regular reminder that criticizing Israel is not antisemitism Netanyahu is a war criminal and the genocidal actions of the state deserve to be condemned

Israel has killed more than a quarter of a million children under five since Oct 7 happened.

Four former senior UK military commanders demand Israel arms ban...

All three gave statements, which note that their horrific experiences reflect the sexual torture Israeli prison guards and soldiers subject Palestinians to with impunity.

The statement says that Israeli officials sexually assaulted two others who also came forward, Italian journalist Vincenzo Fullone and Australian activist Surya McEwen.

Threatening to bomb Iran doesn't help protesters, it will confront them with a choice, escalate and provokeUS bombing of their country, or stop protests to deny US reason to bomb. Iranians didn't revolt when Israel bombed and are unlikely to do the same if US bombed Iran.

It’s 2026 and one of the first things that has happened is that a major news outlet has announced that it will no longer seek information from experts. I don’t think this is gonna help with what I think is the most existential threat to our society currently: disinformation.

"What is unfolding across Gaza is not simply the result of winter storms, but the product of Israel’s continued policy of denying access to humanitarian aid meant to provide Palestinians with shelter, food, medicine, and other forms of relief" Genocide. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/amid...

Israel has diluted the term “antisemitism” to a concerning degree, part of what has fueled the wave of actual antisemitism in recent years is the relentless campaign by Zionists to weaponize the term against human rights activists. Thankfully New York voters saw through the propaganda.

These US military personnel are discovering what everyone who touched Gaza humanitarian aid knew from the beginning: the problem is Israel's arbitrary restrictions, not anything inherent to the situation in Gaza.

Israel is a terrorist state

"Israel has damaged 145 cultural sites across Gaza since 7 October 2023." "For the people of Gaza, these cultural sites weren't just landmarks or of mere archaeological value – they were a collective memory, a livelihood and a heritage." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #Military

If Iran slaughters civilians, we threaten to intervene. If Israel slaughters civilians, we threaten to fund and arm the slaughter.

My Jewish relatives were also killed in the Holocaust, and I approve Mayor Mamdani message ‼️ Zionism is the new Nazism and should be treated as such, The revolution already started ✊🕎🍉

Interesting tactic to have the AI post to X to apologize instead of any actual accountability by the CEO or any human at the company.

Jack Smith has just reconfirmed the fact that trump has committed treason against this country!!! Congress what do you plan to do now?!?!

KY woman charged with fetal homicide after taking abortion medication

Just a quick reminder that Jack Smith had 86 witnesses lined up ready to convict Donald Trump, and every one of them were Republicans

5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found. WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county. Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al. (Gift link.)

JACK SMITH: “The attack that happened at the Capitol does not happen without Trump. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit.”

This time the regime sent one of its own favored right-wing YouTubers, Nick Shirley, to create fake stories and manufacture outrage over “day care fraud.” White House officials including JD Vance and allies like Elon Musk then amplified the false claims across their platforms.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) finalized a rule on postmarks to reflect changes in its mail pickup processes that could cause an uptick in blown deadlines for documents sent by post, including mail-in ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The fascist regime is wasting no time in getting back to terrorizing our communities

PolitiFact has named 2025 the year of Lies! PBS has a 7min video on Instagram that goes into the whole report 👉 www.instagram.com/reel/DS-5per... Basically, the Trump admin lied so much that PolitiFact changed 15yrs of reporting to just name the year “lies” stating they’re were just too many.

A clip that has not lost its relevance

Bloomberg has a really good story on how scandalous Trump's pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández is. This is just the first ¶ of 3-¶¶ on sources, but gives a sense of who would want to tell similar stories. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Trump lives in Florida!!!

It was only a matter of time b4 Trump's Venezuela adventure started to piss off Russia. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/u...

The notices stunned employees, who learned they would be let go within days. “Beyond cruel to be treated in such a way,” one of the workers said. FEMA’s CORE employees are among the first federal boots on the ground during a disaster.

Trump knew that he had lost the 2020 election, but he chose not to accept this reality. Instead, he promoted a baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him, inciting a violent attempt to overthrow the U.S. government. He knew exactly what he was doing. www.reuters.com/world/us/jac...

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

Today I’m embarrassed, saddened, outraged and simultaneously not surprised at all by my Alma mater. #ignorance #hate #texastech #humanrights #LGBTQ+ www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

In case you thought they just meant undocumented immigrants…

It is terrible that Trump and Hegseth are ordering the wanton and unjustified killings of civilians, and doing so in our name. It is terrible that Republicans in Congress are unwilling to stop or even investigate them.

Best of 2025

AOC: My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City. Zohran Kwame Mamdani

We aren’t just telling our constituents what we can do with real representation but showing them too. Two tons of food for needy families in our district in two hours. We have too many people in DC promising to do the work and not enough doing it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder. apnews.com/article/boat...

Thinking this is wrong is not radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has issued an executive order revoking all executive orders signed by Eric Adams after September 26, 2024, the date of Adams’ indictment.

Bernie Sanders publicly swears in Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.
