Zohran Mamdani shows us the future of progressive politics. The recipe? A hefty dose of social democracy, mixed with joy (no hate), lots of listening to a diverse set of constituents, topped off with integrity & humility, ie., ability to admit when you were wrong democracyincolor.com/podepisodes/...

We all should condemn this villainous attack against Manchester's Jewish community. It is an attack on us all because it represents the antithesis of tolerance, and respect for ethnic, religious and cultural diversity

Fear mongers try scaring New Yorkers that if a "Muslim" becomes NYC mayor, he will B anti-Semitic, sectarian. There R many more Jewish New Yorkers than Muslims in his campaign.

Henry Fonda was an original supporter of Committee for the First Amendment during the horrible McCarthyism of the 1950s. Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee 2 protect our most important Constitutional right. We must all support her in fighting DJT's autocratic rule www.cnn.com/2025/10/01/e...

The Animal Kingdom has lost one of its best friends and greatest supporter. We humans have lost one of the most caring persons who ever walked on the Planet Earth. So sad of learn of Jane Goodall's passing www.npr.org/2025/10/01/4...

Vance Laughs Off Deepfake Video of Hakeem Jeffries: ‘I Think It’s Funny’ Vance thinks the disgusting, racist video of Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries "funny."! He's as much of a 5 yr old child as Trump. It shows Vance is unfit to occupy the post of Vice-President www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

And the generals don't have "dressing rooms" such as Hegseth has at the Pentagon to make himself look good on TV and social media

Narcissism, political spectacle, and mobilizing the political base are at work, not increasing the US' national security profile at all. And at a cost of millions of travel and accommodations dollars which could have been used to cover Medicaid, veterans' benefits and SNAP (food stamps)

Anatomy of Two Giant Deals: The U.A.E. Got Chips. The Trump Team Got Crypto Riches. Can we start the bets? How much money will Trump, his family and close associates make from his presidency by the time he leaves office? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Palestinians were promised a state of their own alongside a Jewish state by UN Resolution 181 of November 1947. By international law, they should have one. Why, over 75 years later, do they don't have a state & continue to live in such abjectly horrible conditions? news.gallup.com/poll/695645/...

The Secretary of Labor or Secretary of the Department of Obsequious Cheerleaders?

Time that some Democrats demonstrate that they have some guts!

No, Mr. Miller, your behavior constitutes one of the most serious attacks on our freedoms and liberties in the whole history of this country

Trump, Vought and Bessent can cut millions of dollars which have led to 1000s of deaths, especially children, in Global South countries (to "save money") but bail out a hedge fund manager in Argentina.Don't Americans see though this disgraceful behavior?

Also, try and undertand why you see escalators in such a narcissistic way

Make No Mistake About Where We Are. Trump couldn't be clearer about the goals of his authoritarian rule. He hates his (self-defined) enemies & he will do all he can-using the DoJ as his attack dog-2 bankrupt them, make their lives miserable & imprison them if possible www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Enough is enough. Now is the time for responsible gun control - not just "thoughts and prayers"

What the Mayor Got Away With Has Already Changed America. Eric Adams' administration has been plagued by corruption. Only Trump's intervention helped him avoid a trial on corruption charges. New Yorkers should be thankful that he will soon no longer be mayor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Israel Is Flattening Parts of Gaza City. While 1000s protest Netanyahu's speech at UN & many delegates walk out during speech, Gaza City is being reduced to rubble. Is this really killing HAMAS terrorists or part of ethnic cleansing of Gaza's Palestinian population? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump’s Pick to Replace Ousted U.S. Attorney Lacks Prosecutorial Experience.

Don't forget the couches, especially the soft ones. They turn Americans into couch potatoes so they become unable to fight Trump's authoritarianism

Walters posed a real danger not just 2 Oklahoma's education system but 2 all our states' education systems. He attempted to force his conservative white Christian nationalism down the throats of teachers & students while making money using Trump Bibles in Oklahoma www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That should make Netanyahu and his regime crazies happy. One less soccer terrorist to pose who poses an existential threat to their "Greater Israel" (ethnic cleansing) project

Time to stop the war in Gaza, let an Arab Peacekeeping Force (Egypt and Jordan) clear out final HAMAS terrorists, and Benjamin Netanyahu & his ultra-nationalist "Greater Israel" fanatics thrown out of office bbc.com/news/article...

We must condemn political violence and Charlie Kirk's murder but no hagiography, please. Kirk's divisive, nasty language and his false allegations (1 in 22 black males will commit a homicide in their lives?!) speak for themselves. He was anti-democratic & all too often dishonest in his proclamations

Another way US is shooring itself in the foot under Trump. No support for public transportation by USG. Unlike Europe where public transit adds huge added value to EU nations' economies, e.g., France's high speed trains have decreased commuting times dramatically www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
