We stand with Ulviyya Ali and journalists all over the world, including VOA employees let go by DOGE and Trump, against the police state censorship of authoritarians, dictators and kleptocrats. Democracy dies without press freedom.

David Hogg is bad, and attempts to prevent the Democrats from being remade in his image are good Note: This post is agnostic on if/how to reform the party otherwise!

It's Jewish Heritage month. An important reminder there would not be a disability rights movement without Jewish people. From Judith Heumann to Ari Ne'eman to Chai Feldblum, Jewish Americans adapted the message of Tikkun Olam to pushing for a more just world for people with disabilities.
