And now you know why Israel insisted on controlling how food and other aid would be distributed. It always intended to use aid as bait to murder more Palestinians. www.cbsnews.com/news/gaza-ai...

It took me a year to gather the courage to publish this. If you or anyone you know struggles in the workplace due to disabilities — like neurodivergence or mental illness — this personal essay is for you. bit.ly/fired-with-d...

Democrats were silent when he did it. They're silent now even after the truth is revealed. Don't expect Democrats or Republicans to protect your rights. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

PFAS? That's a relief. I was worried it was fluoride. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The “abundance agenda” promoted by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson is gaining traction among center-left Democrats, but it’s largely a rebranding of deregulation and market-first policies -- more Rockefeller Republican than progressive.

The US invaded Afghanistan for fewer atrocities than Israel has committed. apnews.com/article/isra...

I've long felt that the steepest parts of downtown Seattle need public escalators and elevators, but I wasn't aware of any cities that've used them as public transport...until today. Turns out: Spain is a big fan! www.citymonitor.ai/analysis/can...

Another empty apology from Israel. None of this handful of diplomats were armed. A verbal reminder would have been sufficient. Yet, every act of Zionism is one of violence. That is the indoctrination. www.timesofisrael.com/troops-fire-... (link around the paywall: archive.ph/6Kb64)

Israel is to blame for the shootings. Biden, Trump, and Congress are to blame for the shootings. AIPAC, ADL, and every Zionist organization are to blame for the shootings. This was an act of anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fortunes have been made on Wall Street by chiseling a few cents here and there on millions and millions of transactions. Now the Trump Administration will make that theft legal at every checkout counter. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump: "They're eating the White farmers!" Sound familiar? www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Y'all. I left the scented blanket for her on Sunday. It's been a few days since I have seen her. When I came in today, one of the workers had moved the blanket off her bed and on to the floor. She was out of her bed, on the blanket on the floor. She immediately sniffed my hand and...

More lies by Israel. More blood on Israel's hands. www.timesofisrael.com/gazans-say-n...

Congress hasn't done a damn thing to protect the public from the abuses of law enforcement, relying instead on weak, unenforceable executive branch policies which change every four years. Fuck the police. Defund them, and end governmental immunity. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/u...

The health insurance industry is more powerful and more abusive than ever. Government has relaxed regulations meant to enforce your rights. This will continue for as long as businesses and their stockholders are permitted to profit from your health. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There are no schools left. There are no functioning hospitals left. Destroyed #UNRWA food warehouses. You’ve killed CHILDREN, journalists, doctors, nurses, emergency workers, UN workers, international volunteers!!! Gtfo! THIS is #IsraeliCrimesAgainstHumanity #GazaGenocide en.ypagency.net/357231

Guess Bruce is going to El Salvador

True. A child would know that the term "86" means to reject, discard, or cancel. It does not mean "kill". Trump loves to imagine he's that important. He isn't.

One more reminder that this horrific pace of unlawful deportations did not begin with Trump. It dates back to Clinton, and every President since has engaged in these atrocities, with Biden escalating the process. www.reuters.com/world/americ... beat the paywall: archive.ph/SL3b8

Coloradan Trisha Calvarese is working to unseat Lauren Boebert. A longtime fierce progressive and dear friend of mine is working on this campaign, and I'm excited to see someone with a real chance to consign Boebert to the cesspit of political history.

Trump is such a pathetic bloviating loser. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The parasite said, "I don't know". He also said, "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

I feel like men talk about feminism in how it makes them feel terms where as women are like “patriarchy is literally killing me”

Oh no

Saw Nessie today

The most likely person to kill a woman is a man they are in an intimate partnership with. These are the men we are so kind to they chose to be in a relationship with us. Being nice to men is not a guarantee that they won’t KILL US.

A May Day message from @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, president of @afacwa.org, and former Biden nominee for Secretary of Labor

Ironically in defiance of this non-sequitur argument, the election wasn't a binary choice.
