No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994. Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.

The Trump-Vance administration has just used "emergency authorities" to "expedite" another $4 billion of military aid to Israel. Just a day after the administration approved $3.01 billion in arms & equipment sales to Israel. Admin cited "emergency" there as well to bypass Congress there.

did you know it's illegal to say "i think someone should kill elon musk" it's also illegal to say "the best place to fire a mortar launcher at the eisenhower building would be from the roof of the mills building because of minimal security and you'd have a clear line of sight to elon's office"

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I am playing through the entirety of DOOM 2016 and donating one dollar for each demon I kill. All the money will go to fighting for immigrant justice. The choice of game probably has nothing to do with how I feel about ICE. www.twitch.tv/jacobgeller

Democrats' opposition to the Republican budget is imperiled by "the fact that some of their older and ailing members have regularly missed votes this year,” Axios reports.

New, from me @theatlantic.com: *No, the federal government is not too big *It has real human capital needs *Firings are indiscriminate, weakening state capacity *Creating a toxic and politicized workplace is driving away dedicated employees www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

“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.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

The democratic party has been lost and no longer stands/represents working class citizens. An establishment hack was chosen while Republicans work effortlessly to dismantle our government for their oligarch lords Please people, organize locally and prepare to fight back.

Obama/Biden didn't do nearly enough rolling back even the most unpopular excesses of the Bush/Trump admins when they had the chance. 2028 candidates need to be willing to threaten prosecutions/retribution. The GOP only understands blunt force, and dems need to be willing to punish them accordingly.

we live under the most authoritarian government in the world

Musk is unelected and hasn’t been confirmed by the Senate to any official position. His aides are not government employees. What the hell is going on here? Oligarchy is a big understatement at this point.

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

it's been a rough week so i thought i'd rotate a gyro for everyone. as a treat

I've had nearly a dozen State Department officials reach out to me since Trump's volley of executive orders. He's creating an army of leakers

Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the US & affects many people at young ages. Cancer trials are often the best hope for survival for people who currently have cancer as well as those who will subsequently develop cancer It is critically important for these trials to continue

Xbox chief Phil Spencer: "It does mean more of our games shipping on more platforms, not just PlayStation. We love the work we do with Nintendo, we love what we do with Valve on Steam. Our games will show up in more and more places." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAl5...

Trump administration issues new directive prohibiting "environmental justice" as a concept, per internal USAID memo leaked to me:

Trump administration just ordered a blackout on public communications by agencies across government, multiple officials tell me. Here's a memo from HHS I obtained describing the comms blackout.

A bug in Cloudflare (and just the nature of how CDNs work) let an attacker learn the broad location of Discord, Signal, Twitter users by just sending them an image, according to a security researcher. It works because check which data center cached the image www.404media.co/cloudflare-i...

Fascinating video on Steam trends, especially these statistics- of all the games released in Steam in 2024, just 2.5% had the "LBGTQ+" tag and 7% had the "female protagonist" tag. This is supposedly the political trend that's overwhelming and destroying gaming. youtu.be/qiNv3qv-YbU?...

I got the Luigi Mangione manifesto. The real one, not the forgery circulating online. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-man...

As expected the media are refusing to publish the manifesto although somehow selectively quoting from it is allowed. This is media paternalism at its worst. If you have access to the manifesto, text me via signal at 202-510-1268
