Over decades, Benjamin Netanyahu has personally and insistently lobbied for U.S. intervention against Iran. A military campaign reliant on airpower alone is unlikely to spark a revolution. www.crisisgroup.org/middle-east-...

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Darnella Frazier was 17 when she had the presence of mind to document what was happening to George Floyd. These ICE abduction videos differ but also convey an out-of-control state abusing its power. Sometimes bearing witness is among the most important forms of civil resistance.

“I’m here today because this is something I can do against Trump. I lived during the Nazi time in Germany and they put me in a concentration camp,” he told interviewer Shannon Powell, co-founder of Indivisible Westchester. “Trump is trying to imitate Hitler. That’s what I’m afraid of.”

A gentle reminder that this is all too much to hold. If your heart is heavy, you’re not alone. The only way thru is to care for yourself & others. Reach out friends to check in. Go in the garden. Remember there is still beauty. Stand next to a big tree rooted and draw strength. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
