Credit to The Nation for its ‘A Day for Gaza’
Have to point out that PalCast, thanks to the work of Yousef Aljamal, has platformed dozens and dozens of people from Gaza, many of whom are contributors to the Nation now. No gimmicks, just Palestinians speaking for Palestine from on the ground in Gaza.

I think it's very clear at this point that this regime is going to try to overturn the results of the Midterm elections at this point. That does not mean they will be successful but we absolutely need to be prepared for that effort at this point.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!"

No. No, you wouldn't.

We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors.

Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

The guy that just had his goons seize ballots from the 2020 elections is asking us to get on to something else.

Hmm... how about no??

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

Our President who is supposed to be for ALL Americans, is now stuck on a, "us vs them" narrative.
He will never unite our country with that attitude and I don't think he wants to anyway. He wants to punish everyone who believes in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

One of the fascinating things abt this Epstein email dump is finding tipster letters to the FBI:

"Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. He was killed by Giuliani and MA when Epstein found out about Giuliani's identity theft and campaign money embezzlement schemes."

Its destruction came as Israel said it will ban Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, from operating in Gaza, after the charity refused to provide Israeli authorities a list of its Palestinian staff. MSF currently provides at least 20% of hospital beds in Gaza.
