Israeli tanks have entered the North of the West Bank for the first time in 20 years.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m... - I appreciate Ed Yong's work and especially his *approach* to that work. I enjoyed listening to this conversation.

"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, they’re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. It’s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."

I love this heartfelt, written account of a one-man #TeslaTakedown. Protests matter, regardless of their size! Keep it going! We have more people signing on to protest this weekend, join an event or make your own at TeslaTakedown.com!

I wonder how Democratic politicians will alert the public. Perhaps through an interpretive dance video with music by Drake posted on MySpace?

Ohio Republicans at Federal and State level hate Ohioans. They work everyday to make our lives miserable. They love it.

CW: "At the hotel, at least one person tried to commit suicide, according to several migrants. Another broke his leg trying to escape. A third sent a plaintive missive from a hidden cellphone: “Only a miracle can save us.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

On this #16th day of #BlackHistoryMonth, I am sharing a newsletter post about the 1829 Lafayette Slave Revolt. This is an ongoing research project in which I am engaged. open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

My message to everyone who has a heart and knows the meaning of humanity and feels our suffering. Everything we own has been destroyed in this conflict, our home, our livelihood, our memories. We live in a completely destroyed environment. Is there anyone who still feels for us?😔 gofund.me/c5c4a650

Many reasons not to use this terrible company

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies. She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas. Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia. I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

ALEC’s agenda targets regulations and public education, bolsters fossil fuels, curtails voting rights, and more.

Those women athletes that cried against trans athletes thought they were gonna sign a deal with the devil and not give up something? lol oh.

ABSOLUTELY USELESS. www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d... - I don't want to hear a thing about these losers.

in america giant bodies of water can change their names, but trans people can’t

Yesterday, we received highly alarming news from Jerusalem, where two of our key partners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Muna, were arrested. Read @saqibooks.bsky.social's statement below to learn more.

I donated. Donate/ share please

I don’t normally directly ask for shares but since Nour had her account removed by Bluesky could you all boost this one today?

what we see again and again is that what you allow to happen to "them"—whomever is marginalized, and the "least of these"—will undoubtedly happen to you too. we have to refuse these practices whenever they happen, to whoever they happen. anything less is acceptance.

As Yoav Gallant has confirmed, the deal that freed today’s hostages has been on the table since May but for political reasons the Israeli government refused it. Every day the hostages spent in confinement since then was the avoidable and tragic result of those calculations.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Talking to myself. #art

I love this labeler so much

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

In more news from Gaza, the beloved poet, academic and activist Refaat Alareer has finally been laid to rest, more than one year after he was killed in an Israeli strike along with his sister, brother and four nephews. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/5/hea...

Did that when our negotiations were stalled. Walked in together at 8:00 when our school day began and walked out together at 3:10 PM. It helped lots of us see how much our school district benefited from our unpaid labor. Also was good for our morale.
