I left Substack over 2 yrs ago, when this FIRST CAME OUT and have been on a nonprofit (Ghost) since. So join me! For ancient prophetic wisdom, healing, & essential organizing tools for this moment— Sign up for free or MORE, & support this work— Help keep it sustainable— And fuck enabling Nazis

It was at this moment that I understood that the racists will never forgive Obama for being everything they could never be.

Opposing Trump in the US but approving his fascist fever dream in Gaza is going to be quite the take.

You gotta love his cosplay combat attire. Don’t remember George Patton or Douglas MacArthur so sartorially impressive

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

WTF NYT lying is not a rush to judgment www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/u...

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Trump is turning American streets into the hellscape he lied about.

Surely speaking to the White House is very effective

Yeah, wouldn't it be terrible to have a ruling family which controls the judiciary and amasses wealth through corruption?

I can't explain it but this politics and journalism today in one image

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Mamdani’s message is as American as apple pie, and that’s why he drives reactionaries of many different political stripes crazy.

I credit both @aaronrice.bsky.social and @rgoldwasser.bsky.social as well as @govpritzker.illinois.gov

They should be putting Trump’s name on lead poisoning not on cultural centers www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/c...

Losing our democracy one institution at a time takes a lot of collaborators like Bari Weiss.

ICE is refusing to release a US citizen despite extensive documentation of her citizenship. Presented with her birth certificate, they called it a fake and transferred her from Maryland to Louisiana. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

The only people missing from this are Jonathan Turley, Mike Lindell and the rest of the characters from the the Mos Eisley Cantina.

[email protected] : Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests? AOC: I would stomp him.

Remember awhile back when AIPAC dropped Randy Fine from their website after he said "starve away" in response to 4 kids in Gaza dying of starvation? AIPAC then said "consideration" for endorsing Fine would take place later. Well, turns out AIPAC has added Fine back to their site:

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

Yuli Novak, executive director of B'Tselem, fears the return of a status quo where Israel can carry on with “much less criticism, because there is the facade of things being okay.” In the meeting of Trump and Mohammed, you can see the edifice behind that facade rising. My latest: wapo.st/4idIxRC

Then you wonder why advanced intelligence and technology extraterrestrials don’t come to this planet

10/10 no notes.

"The homeland for all Jewish people around the world" *Some restrictions may apply. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

This is the sort of thing religious wars would have been fought over in the past.

Gotta admit. Not even I thought he’d just start writing himself checks. Seriously, ball game’s about over. Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…We shall decimate London, pulverize Ottawa, annihilate Canberra, flatten Paris, vanquish China

In simpler words: We are honestly clueless, we proudly have no policy, if we have leverage we have no idea how to use it, ergo it’s none of our business anymore, so you geniuses just continue the war and may the force be with you. Exactly what you would expect from a US Secretary of State in 2025

ehud olmert becoming the conscience of israel was not on my bingo card

Another shameful blood libel against the most moral concentration camps on earth

Haaretz's Hagar Shezaf reports that settlers took over the West Bank Palestinian village of Mu'arajat and expelled its population, numbered in the hundreds. This is the largest ethnic cleansing to occur in the West Bank since 1967.

Been on the ground for a couple days now getting ready for Mont Blanc with my last real training run yesterday. If you’re inclined please consider donating to MedGlobal to help them provide urgent medical services and supplies to Palestinians in Gaza. gofund.me/c32a4ce8

On June 28, I’ll be running the Mont Blanc 23km and raising money for @medglobalorg which provides medical services and supplies in Gaza. I’m two-thirds of the way to my $5,000 goal with five days left. Pitch in if you can. gofund.me/4a2d2c6b

This statement from Mahmoud Khalil on his release from prison is obviously correct. By associating supporting Israel with illiberalism in the US, Trump is going to turn a whole generation against Israel. (www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...)

A thing most USians don't know & really should before expressing any opinion on Iran: The 1953 coup that brought the Shah to power "was carried out under CIA direction as an act of US foreign policy, conceived & approved at the highest levels of govt." Iran still feels some kinda way about it. 🎁🔗

it’s 2025. the US has launched an unprovoked war in the Gulf on false pretenses and the media are all cheerleading for it. I wonder what Jon Stewart will say about this on The Daily Show.

it’s 2003. the US has launched an unprovoked war in Gulf on false pretenses and the media are all cheerleading for it. I wonder what Jon Stewart will say about this on The Daily Show.

Quelle surprise

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Barack Obama would not have been president if he hadn’t opposed the war in Iraq. There is an important lesson there for potential 2028 candidates.

Of course he was going to bomb Iran. Is there an antiwar party in the U.S.?

I clicked play because I thought surely no, this is being misrepresented. Naif that I am.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

If Trump or Netanyahu gave me the time I wouldn’t even check my watch. And you want to follow them into war?

This Trump parade is so beautifully low energy and pathetic, I’m sorry I ever opposed it.
