Amy in #Arkansas: I’m in #Fayetteville helping take care of my mom, who has cancer. My right wing MAGA Republican Dad is her care taker. He has a wrong belief that “ANTIFA” is the “armed wing” of the “Democrat” party. Where does this unfounded belief come from? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Besides the fact that labor being “unskilled” is a fallacy, and that workers misdiagnosed as “unskilled,” are in fact merely low waged, I agree. www.planetizen.com/features/136...

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

Giddie-yup Utah!!! This is great news. Salt Lake County will save us. Thank you judge and thank you @sahilkapur.bsky.social for your reporting!!! This California based Utahan appreciates you!!!

Yes, because up is down and down is up now, the problem with the ICC investigating U.S. and Israeli war crimes is…… the investigators. That must be it.

What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.

I keep getting reminded that if this was France, there would be a national strike about now. And impeachment proceedings. It's saddening how quickly so many institutions have done that cost calculation and simply bend the knee to avoid standing up to tyranny. And I put most of Congress in that camp

Over 150 Jews and people of conscience are staging a sit-in at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York City to demand that the U.S. stop starving Gaza immediately.

Despite international outrage, Israel continues to criminalize solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.Despite international outrage, Israel continues to criminalize solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

🚨TAKE ACTION NOW:🚨 Chris Smalls (US) & Hatem Aouini (Tunisia) remain imprisoned in Givon Prison, now on day 5 of a hunger strike in protest of their violent, degrading detention for attempting the break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza & stand against the genocide of the Palestinian people. ...2/

Our march to the Famine Memorial this evening, we have our own memory of enforced starvation at the hands of our colonisers, the British, and that is why we have a generational obligation to the Palestinian people to stop this. Enough. #StopStarvingGaza #FreePalestine

Yesterday we marched from the Central Bank to the Famine Memorial to show the parallels between Ireland’s own history and what is happening in Palestine. We condemn the Central Bank continuing to fundraise for apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. #StopStarvingGaza #StopFundingGenocide

“The hunger in Gaza is an urgent moral crisis,” the editorial board writes. “Israel’s often reckless administration of its war and occupation have helped create this emergency, and it has a unique power to alleviate it. It must do so.”

While he says Auschwitz and Gaza are not a one-to-one comparison, he argues that the “human cruelty, lack of humanity, deliberate suffering imposed on people, the energy of it is the same.”

Repost via @ajplus.net Hungarian Canadian physician Dr. Gabor Maté survived the Holocaust as an infant. His Jewish grandparents were killed in Auschwitz. After visiting the concentration camp for the first time, Dr. Maté spoke to AJ+ about how it compares with Israel’s forced starvation in Gaza.

I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media. Not when there is mass starvation. This is the time for every American to speak up publicly. PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine & aid. We must not be complicit.

Today I’m calling clearly and simply: Mr. Netanyahu, let in the food. Mr. Netanyahu, stop blocking humanitarian aid and causing a man-made starvation in Gaza. The times of the United States providing you a blank check are over.

EU calls for Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, as health workers warned Palestinians were facing “forced starvation.” www.politico.eu/article/war-... “The images from Gaza are unbearable,” von der Leyen said. “Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long. It must stop now.”

The move to cancel one of television’s last remaining crown jewels of broadcast programming came just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS’s corporate owner, Paramount, for agreeing to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle an outrageous $20 billion lawsuit against the company.
