Starmer's Labour Party expels leftwingers for the tiniest perceived infractions. Yet it welcomes people who are basically Trumpists into the very heart of its operations. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I photographed the month of May in Cleveland, Ohio and this is what I got

A geomagnetic storm is expected to set skies aglow in the northern part of the U.S. on Sunday night into early Monday morning, with the northern lights potentially visible as far south as Alabama to Northern California, according to the NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Should’ve stayed silent, Thom, rather than confirm to everyone that you’re an ass.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

We keep saying this is a new Nakba, or a continuation of the Nakba, and of course it is. But it is also much worse in the magnitude of killing and destruction.

More and more normies are speaking out for Palestine ms Rachel (the GOAT) but also Humans of New York featured Jews against genocide and Thom York also gave a (half ass) statement after months of nonsense.

I could not imagine. This country is so cruel.

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

Yea it is.

Breaking News: A woman sued oil and gas companies over her mother’s death in a heat wave. It's the first wrongful death case targeting fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming, experts said.

As a Muslim girl in Bradford, I saw my story in Jane Austen’s novels. Now I’ve directed a TV series about her | Ali Naushahi

Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water

It would really be great if, when journalists are interviewing Stephen Miller, who goes off a tirade on courts curbing executive power, could ask, What article of the Constitituon grants the power to: 1. Control immigration 2. Regulate international commerce 3. Suspend habeas

I actually believe that it’s a failure to commit to these issues that makes it so dems continue to lose, not that these are losing issues. They lose because they insist on being off-brand republicans.

Trump and Republicans in Congress want to make the the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Harvard president receives standing ovation during commencement.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

In a remote stretch of Montana, USDA funding helped provide food for ~250 households on a reservation where the nearest supermarket is about 20 miles away. Now, due to cuts, the tribe’s funding for local food purchases could run out within weeks. By @maryhudetz.bsky.social‬

NYPD making arrests now.

Ah yes, blogging. This’ll definitely reach the American public and win back the disaffected 💯

What Ms. Rachel said.

#Israeli media published a drone image of the #American lsraeli Aid distribution Hub,showing Palestinians caged within fenced routes,overcrowded as they waited to receive their weekly calorie-limited aid package. #wakeupworld I can see this coming all over the world. #freepalestine #Gaza #genocide

Exactly this. At a certain point, being accused of “wokeness” should be a badge of honour. “Yes I am woke - so what? Why aren’t you?”

Ah, the old, "Of course I didn't expect the people who'd been actively advocating genocide for years to seize on this moment, partly at least engineered by their covert support of Hamas for divisive purposes, to begin to undertake an overt genocide" line. Expect a lot more of it in coming months.

An article appeared in Haaretz today by former head of amnesty international entitled, “We objected to the statement that this was genocide and were kicked out of Amnesty. Now I'm not sure anymore” & I don’t know what to make of this trend of genocide facilitators scrambling to record objections.

A student who revealed to me last year in a memo that she was homeless just wrote to tell me she got the keys to her own place. She stayed enrolled throughout despite getting the run around from financial aid (how I got involved). Every day I teach at Hunter is a privilege. Our students are giants!

The government has FROZEN ALL DECISIONS for Syrians applying for asylum or settlement for nearly 6 months😱😱😱 Roughly 7,000 people left in limbo & denied the right to work - this is completely INSANE.

I think about this a lot
