Anyone else worried?

“See you in court” is my favorite takeaway from the week. Thank you #GovJanetMills 🤛

Our modest clinic in Beit Lahia, North Gaza, will open this Monday!This clinic will provide free services to those who need it the most in the community, and your support can make it sustainable! Thank you for any contribution! 🙏🏼👨🏻‍⚕️🚨🇵🇸 GoFundme: gofund.me/6bfa282b

"Reshape" = make it suck.

Trump receives widespread backlash to social post calling himself ‘king’

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Israeli forces burn a house in Jenin Camp, West Bank.

A Zionist in Miami opened fire on a vehicle, mistakenly believing it carried Palestinians, only to later realize the passengers were Israelis who suffered minor injuries. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

The counterproductive & dangerous “Antisemitism Awareness Act” was intro’d in the Senate this week. Shamefully, Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov is supporting it. This bill is bad for Jews, bad for anyone who supports Palestinian freedom & equality, and bad for democracy. Tell Schumer to vote NO:

America is in trouble.

Proud to have signed onto this letter organized by @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social

RFK is confirmed. I have no jokes; I have nothing witty to say. Quite honestly, it all disgusts me. We’ve really assembled the most unqualified and dangerous cabinet ever.

“Our message to Palestinians is that you are not alone, our attention has not wavered, and we are committed to fighting with every breath we have to stop ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”

Mayor Adams has betrayed immigrant New Yorkers. The chaos he has caused this week is antithetical to NYC’s historic standing as a sanctuary city. We found strength today gathering with coalition partners and elected officials. ICE must stay out of schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. Period.

Read this beautiful essay that JFREJ's Disability Justice Caucus co-chair, Claudia Mallea, wrote about her experiences using Access-A-Ride as a queer disabled woman:

I’m watching “The Silo” and reading “The Parable of the Sower” for a break from the daily onslaught of madness.

YES

Good messaging

I think as a climate scientist I should stay in my lane because I don't understand politics at all. Trump tried to have everyone in Congress murdered and then pardoned all the potential murderers. But Congress is still doing his bidding. What?! It's much easier to understand CO₂ and global warming.

GAZA. IS. NOT. FOR. SALE.

The book “The Burning Earth” covers 800 years of history to explain how we arrived at the current environmental crisis.

All these Tech Bros grew up loving Luke Skywalker and then became Darth Vader for the money. Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side. #RebelAllianceForever

The data are back up. Apparently this was a planned website outage by NOAA. Thankfully.

The best way to end antisemitism is by combating it alongside other forms of oppression — NOT by elevating it above other forms of oppression, isolating Jews from other minority groups. These fascists are not trying to fight antisemitism. They are using Jews to divide & conquer.

As Trump and Musk gleefully smash the institutions of government, they simultaneously rush us towards the Earth systems horizon. You think this is a dangerous moment? It is. But add escalating climate breakdown to your calculations and multiply by ten.

It's like Kremlin christmas, every day now.

The next four years will consist mostly of Donald Trump proposing insane criminal schemes he doesn't really want to do to distract from insane criminal schemes he is already doing.

I’ve officially hit an all-time high in daily WTFs.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

ALL. EYES. ON. JENIN.

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!

All USAID still halted " PEPFAR was providing HIV treatment to an estimated 680,000 pregnant women, the majority of whom are in Africa. A 90-day stoppage could lead to an estimated 136,000 babies acquiring HIV, according to the amfAR analysis." www.propublica.org/article/trum...
