It is clear their intent is to prevent people viewing an account of the effect of Israel’s assault on Gaza on the people trying to live and stay alive there.”

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. Sen. Elizabeth Warren

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Conclave’s Oscar marketing strategy feels a little bit over the top, tbh.

For #RomanSiteSaturday an aerial view of the amphitheatre in Itálica, #Spain. ‘Game of Thrones’ fans may recognize the #Dragonpit! The amphitheatre was built in the 2nd century AD and held up to 25,000 spectators.   Photo: Amazing Aerial Agency   🏺 AncientBluesky #archaeology

What a great series. There must be lots of other examples.

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

More of this, please! Atlanta has launched a free grocery store to support Atlanta Public School students and their families, addressing food insecurity and helping those facing financial hardship. Reinforcing the importance of community-driven food assistance programs in fighting child hunger.

Wise man…

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

He nails it.

My cartoon for today’s @guardian books.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Want change? Want to protect Australia’s wildlife and environments? *Use preferential voting to your advantage.* No. Vote. Is. Ever. Wasted! Simply order your votes from most environmentally progressive to least (ecocidal). It’s literally that simple. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump could never in a billion years hold a cabinet position — yet somehow the most unqualified, uneducated, narcissistic, adjudicated, rapist, and 34x convicted felon was elected president.

King Trump vows to shutter the @USPS and have Amazon handle all US. In return, shit-eater @JeffBezos bends the knee & begs to be the world’s first trillionaire. King Musk is furious as he wants to be the first to reach that milestone. We are at a standstill. More to come.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

Todays hero

Stephen the Great / Ștefan cel Mare was Voivode of Moldavia from 1457 to 1504. Legend has it that he swore to erect a church for every victorious battle. He had 44 churches built. Voroneț Monastery, Suceava, Romania.

The right is banging right along with normalizing throwing the nazi salute about. The left needs to re-normalize making nazis extremely hesitant about being open about nazi shit. "To remain neutral is to side with the oppressor." - Desmond Tutu (who I'm fairly certain would agree with the above)

Janet Mills is a total bad ass. I love a strong Maine woman. Full support to her and everyone who has the courage to stand up to the rapist felon.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. LET’S FUCKING GO!!!! apnews.com/article/dei-...
