"Join the military or we'll deport your loved ones" is just beyond appalling. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Every day I'm stumped by how little emotional intelligence, emotional growth, and emotional regulation the men that control our world have.

Once again: a far-right president asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews, after he has repeatedly accused Jews of being “disloyal.” What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Peace, democracy, justice, rule of law, conservation of nature, the protection of oceans, the study of geography and history, criminal tribunals, gender equality and empowerment. These are just a few of the threats to Trump and his administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

1) This woman should be here. 2) ICE should not. 3) Abolish ICE.

Ah yes, this is the peak Forever Wars Jon Stewart content I remember from my childhood. A whole new generaton now gets to witness this.

"The U.S. can be and has been, a multi-racial democracy, and we should continue striving to achieve that." 👏

Hey Queers & Weirdos; today should’ve been Matthew Shepard’s 49th birthday. He never got the chance to grow up, to grow wiser, to live the full queer life he deserved. As small-minded people still try to erase or harm us, we keep fighting. For him. For the entire LGBTQ+ family

"Asked for comment about Trump’s insult, a White House official blamed Lucey." When they can't blame the victims, they've got nothing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For The Redoubt (@theredoubt.bsky.social), I wrote about Trump's killings in the Caribbean — his "kinetic strikes" — and the euphemisms we use to describe murder. www.theredoubt.net/how-we-talk-...

This is fine 🙃 news.cgtn.com/news/2025-11...

Pentagon reporters could be seen leaving the sprawling U.S. military headquarters with boxes after at least 30 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less coverage of the world's most powerful military.

"Opponents as well as supporters of this president would do well, again, to consider the Philippines. The same Rodrigo Duterte who enjoyed popular support as he waged war on his own country is today behind bars" 👏

Anyone with a heart should be stopping in their tracks 💔

One less place to be able to place human rights and civil society stories. The media system ecosystem for human centerer stories is shrinking at the exact moment it needs to expand.

“Move Fast”: From McCarthyism to Authoritarianism, Jane Fonda Relaunches Father’s Free Speech Group https://www.democracynow.org/2025/10/3/jane_fonda_committee_for_first_amendment

Actor and activist Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment first backed by her father Henry Fonda in 1947, to fight against what the group calls a “coordinated campaign” from the Trump administration to curb freedom of expression. https://wapo.st/4nxKYQw

Eight decades after Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland launched the Committee for the First Amendment to stand up to McCarthyism, Jane Fonda is bringing back the organization. https://cnn.it/3KsdDYR

Just gonna leave these here...

The house is on fire, and Democratic leadership is debating what color to paint the kitchen. Either grab a hose or get out of the way because if we lose this fight, there won't be a democracy left to save.

“One of the greatest threats to peace and multilateralism today is the United States President. While President Trump touts his peacemaking abilities, the U.S. is enabling a genocide by Israel, warmongering by Russia, and a breakdown in global stability”. More: civicus.org/index.php/me...

“The response to the latest attempt to force a terror state upon us in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Wait for it” —Netanyahu.

Shana Tova to all who celebrate. I’m grateful to have made this with my little one today, my entire world, and watched her small hands move in awe. My heart was heavy thinking of all the parents losing their entire worlds, looking at their small hands, no longer moving.

This year, may the shofar be a wake-up call for all. As we enter 5786, our commitment to justice is greater than ever.

Something about this UNGA is so gut-wrenching. Last week, the UN Commission released a finding of genocide by Israel, yet Netanyahu is scheduled to address the UNGA Friday. How can anyone watch his address without picturing the horrors he's inflicted on children for 2 years, with no end in sight?

A stark reality on the UN’s 80th anniversary: the UN will do less than it has done before, at a time when the problems are bigger than they’ve been in decades. lens.civicus.org/un-at-80-a-s...

As UNICEF faces steep funding cuts, at least six sex ed guides flagged by US conservative group C-Fam were removed from its website. Staff say the move could set a troubling precedent.

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

It’s almost like they’ve never been on the receiving end of an interrogation by people who hold all the power and have 0 accountability

“indiscriminate” is a helluva way to say discriminatory

IME: You're a young Latina woman with lawful status at home with young kids. You hear ICE agents, having just arrested your neighbor with a warrant, demand to enter your home. You ask to see a warrant. They say this is not how things work and kick down your door. Kids start crying, your dog barking.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

SCOTUS allowing ICE to racially profile will embolden Trump to use ICE & military against his political opponents, potentially demanding citizenship checks at polls & intimidating Dem voters in 2026. Already seeing such tactics with occupation of LA, DC & Chicago www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
