Can we please stop with the "Israel has a right to exist"? Let's put aside for a moment that countries are legal fictions and no country has a "right to exist" because rights are for PEOPLE. Right now, Israel exists. It exists so much that right now it exists in Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran.

Long COVID leaves thousands of L.A. county residents sick, broke and ignored

“Debanking” is the government’s newest weapon of repression against environmental leaders and anti-mining advocates.

Sheriffs across the country make it a point to publish booking photos of every person they arrest and they run them in the local paper.

Let me just say that having been there, the idea of being a Black woman in labor in America and having to go before a judge is terrorism.

A teen girl with immunocompromise got infected with measles and became severely ill. She was fully vaccinated, but the vaccines didn’t take because of her immunocompromise. This makes me so sad and angry. abcnews.com/Health/teen-...

It seems very likely that the trump administration's plan here is to build a legal framework by which to go after "antifa" and criminalize protest.

Extremely grim news from Texas. Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines. The jury's verdict: www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/v... Background on the case: crimethinc.com/Prairieland

Jurors have reached a verdict for 9 defendants regarding the Prairieland Detention Center noise demonstration in Texas.

Zines, signal chats, jail support... all things the government is using as examples of "antifa materials" & "domestic terrorism" Prairieland is very important to pay attention to because it will impact all of us.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Zionists have worked so hard to convince everyone that “Jewish = Zionist/Israel supporter“ and have done this while co-signing violence and as anti-Zionist Jews have long said, that propaganda makes Jews less safe on top of justifying the Israel’s violence against Palestinians and other Arabs

Hey guess what Wonder Bread Slice’s company is doing! They are buying up nursing homes. These white supremacists with no empathy will be in charge of caring for at least some of the elderly in our population.

As a nation, we’re cooked. It’s every family for itself, at this point. Teach your kids media/tech literacy, inculcate a true love for reading and ideas, instill critical thinking skills, keep them human with the humanities. Gov x tech x media wants pliable voters and workers, not free-thinkers.

Mychal’s picture book is absolutely delightful, just like him. It will be a perfect read aloud for storytimes and class visits.

We cannot stop mass deportations without seriously reckoning with the American obsession with arrests and prosecutions.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans. Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

today is the 6th anniversary of the official start of the COVID pandemic and I am concerned we have taken many wrong lessons from it

"Solving" veteran homelessness by locking them up. I think the thing that worries me most about this "solution" is that I can see "liberals" like Gavin Newsom supporting it too.

The willingness of racists to sabotage their own lives just for the chance to hurt someone else continues to be the most perplexing part for me. I don't hate anyone more than I love myself.

CW: rape . . . . . . IDF soldiers anally raped the Palestinian man with a knife and were caught on camera. They also severely beat him. The victim required surgery for a perforated rectum. The IDF is now dropping charges because of the outcry from the Israeli public IN SUPPORT OF THE RAPISTS.

Every single day, it's a new moral injury. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

"work it surfaces" is certainly one way to describe nonconsenually scraping work and using it to train an AI agent to scramble it up, vomit up some wild nonsense, and then attribute it to real professional humans with years of experience in a way that implies they agreed to be used that way.

We are not a minority we are an inevitability. Either you die young or you become disabled one day, physically, sensorily or cognitively.
