The Israelis have demonstrated by their brutality and ethnic cleansing that they no longer deserve recognition as a legitimate state.

After a month break, I describe U.S. march toward tyranny as a slow cooker, turned up by degrees from Salvadoran gulags to snatched students to detained tourists to big-ticket capitulations. Trump wants to boil the frog... ...But we are not yet cooked. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

The Trump administration cannot “deport their way out of this,” says Ramzi Kassem, CUNY law professor who is contesting Mahmoud Khalil's detention. Kassem argues the U.S. pro-Palestine movement is stronger than ever, despite efforts to suppress dissent.

I am not surprised but disappointed that Al Green was the only one of our representatives who disrupted the Trumpster's speech. Imagine what the result would have been if, most of the Dems had joined. My belief is that would have been the end of the liar's speech. The Dems would have the momentum.

I just read in the LA Times that Newsome is against Trans athletes competing in female sports. Could it be that the Dems are beginning to get away from their identity politics? We'll see.

I urge everyone not to watch the Trumpster's address to Congress tonight.

Whatever the feckless dems do during Trump's speech, they should under no circumstances show him any respect. He deserves only condemnation and approbrium.

The Israelis have broken the cease fire and are occupying all of Southern Syria. Where's the outrage?

There seems to be a lot of interest in Ukraine and our Govt's controversial "peace " efforts there. Meanwhile, Israel has brazenly occupied southern Syria and plainly stated its intention to remain there. They're also blocking all gaza aid. See this link www.bbc.com/news/article.... Why the silence?

I don't believe that Putin wants to invade the Baltic republics or any other European or Asian countries. I believe he miscalculated in trying to take all of the Ukraine. I also believe he now realizes that.

I definitely want the killing to stop in Ukraine, but the deliberate insult to Zelenskyy by Trump and Vance, I believe was unnecessary and demonstrates a direct insult to cooperative international relations.

After yesterday's meeting bt Trump and Zelenskyy, it should be clear to all that Trump; 1. plays a winner takes all game, 2 made it very clear that he does not favor cooperation in foreign policy.

Three days ago I received a notification from my sister about national day of protest. Hopefully all who are deeply troubled about the Trump agenda domestically and internationally and will support it. No purchases either in person or online. Hopefully, the corporate overseers will take note.

Several reasons the dems lost; Corporate, not working man friendly; perceived over identification with LGBTQ community and DEI; awful foreign policy (Neocon orientation); Biden/Harris tragicomedy. Feedback welcome.

I just joined Blue sky. I'm a long time progressive & Humanist. I voted Harris in the election but definitely did not approve of Biden's foreign policy specifically' his support of Isreal's genocide in Gaza. Often, I think I should have voted for Jill Stein. Hoping to learn things through feedback
