I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫 At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data. Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day 👇🏼

Vance could not give a straight answer to questions about: ➡️ Tom Homan's alleged acceptance of a bribe ➡️ Trump's accusations that J.B. Pritzker is a criminal ➡️ Layoffs at the CDC Read/Watch: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

New/old #poem from me! 7 #haikus! joegallenstein.wordpress.com/2025/10/07/7...

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

Furloughed federal workers are not entitled to automatic back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration argues, adding that a law Trump signed guaranteeing back pay to furloughed workers in 2019 does no such thing.

I guess Thiel skipped the part where Gondor was almost undone by the lack of hobbit cybersecurity. This is probably that Fool of a Took functionality Palantir was after.

Not a new piece, but an announcement about an upcoming KFTC fundraiser on 10/25 at West Sixth in Covington! #LoveTheCov

This is a huge win www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

You don’t have to do layoffs. And he specifically says that they are going to permanently terminate civil servants who are registered Democrats.

A 32-year-old man shot during a sniper attack last week at a Dallas immigration enforcement office has died after being pulled from life support, according to a statement by the man’s wife.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Waseem. Waseem was married just a few days before the war began and him and his family (some with injuries) have been displaced repeatedly. He hadn’t made a fundraiser before but now in two months his first child Nabil is going to be born❤️

This is how the Trump administration roots out waste and fraud: By defunding the people who identify actual waste and fraud.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud. From prison, he tells @revealnews.org that he was wrongly convicted. But victims, insiders, and his company’s lawyers don’t agree.

New #poem from me! You can never visit the same place twice.

“Misleading” “falsely” You can call it a “lie”, @nytimes www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

80-year-old American citizen car wash owner Rafi Shouhed injured when ICE tackled him to the ground twice, held in detention, denied needed medical care, sues ICE for $50 million. Arms injured, ribs broken, has heart condition #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue m.youtube.com/watch?v=j2gQ...

Feels like we were just did this. Though in that case there was real, albeit limited, unrest in Portland for the Trump administration to exaggerate. www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus... Now they're just making it up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Left: we want the Epstein files Right: we also want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is the Amelia Earhart files

For Israeli extremists, the war in Gaza has become a pretext to expand settlements and further restrict the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank. Yossi Dagan's mission: To push US lawmakers to support Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

New #poem. Let's choose empathy and humanity.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It’s anyone from antifa to Kamala Harris.

A piece I wrote in 2021 as part of the #WriteLikeFools collective on Tumblr. New to you #poetry.

Water treatment workers are grappling with how to protect against a new threat: hackers burrowing into the system and wreaking havoc.

stephen miller stop taking like sephiroth for five minutes challenge: impossible

Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area and the host said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to discuss because he's fearful he might offend federal regulators of the president."

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

I feel like this is relevant to some people’s interests

I visited a house that produces more electricity than it uses. The owner says the remodel cost less than if he'd followed standard practices. I came away with five lessons and put them in an @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/09/20/n...

Trump’s former White House attorney Ty Cobb: “These people are abandoning our constitutional rights. It’s going to be 3.5 more years of vengeance.” He calls for a presidential crimes commission, and invokes Goebbels & Hitler (as JD Vance once did) to describe Trump’s crackdown.

Some more #poetry from 2021. This one was reflection on George Floyd, and the conviction of his killer.

I just gave through the #GiveForGoodLou to the West End Women’s Collaborative in #LouisvilleKY! www.giveforgoodlouisville.org/organization... #Kentucky

New/old #poetry from a couple years ago about domestic life. Check it out!

Crime has fallen in D.C. during the federal law enforcement surge, faster than it was already dropping this year. But the show of force appears to have deterred other activity too: foot traffic, dining out, visits by immigrants to food pantries and health clinics. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

ICE says officers were conducting a "targeted law enforcement activity" when an officer shot a man during a traffic stop. via @wbez.org

New piece! Well, it's an old one from the Just Imagine Art Show that I forgot to upload. Hope to see you tonight at Roebling Books in Newport!

“It was 2700 miles away. How do we know it was coming to 🇺🇸? Are we gonna blow up every boat? It’s just insane.” Somehow @RandPaul is the only Republican who has an issue with Trump bombing a boat in international waters that allegedly had drugs and gang members

For Derby Week here's a throwback I'm just now adding to the website!

“I’ve never seen this before—I’ve never seen the Democratic leadership not endorse the Democratic candidate. It’s so ugly, it’s so cowardly, it’s so stupid." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
