A beautiful tribute to the children of Gaza murdered by Israel today. The Craftivism for Palestine crew brought their crochet blanket to Limerick. Each hand made square represents 10 dead Gazan children. Reminded me of the poem Oh Rascal Children of Gaza by Khaled Juma

Please hear this: nonviolent resistance is powerfully subversive. The regime is DESPERATE for us to either
1. commit violence, or
2. cower and obey.
Either will suit their ends. So we give them neither. We subvert their paradigm and engage in nonviolent, disruptive resistance strategies.

Yup. This is the time to use our privilege.

This administration is fascist at every level, the MAGA movement is an explicitly fascist ideology, and I am proud to follow the long American tradition of being anti-fascist and anti-tyrant.

You want to come after antifa? I’m right here.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...

Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

The FBI Agents Association confirmed in a statement late Friday that more than a dozen agents had been fired, including military veterans with additional statutory protections, and condemned the move as unlawful. It called on Congress to investigate and said the firings were another indication of FBI Director Kash Patel’s disregard for the legal rights of bureau employees.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 26d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

I agree with the concerns expressed by
parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair student athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports,, Harris writes. "With goodwill and common sense, I believe we can come up with ways to do this, without vilifying and demonizing children."

Imagine blocking the Red Cross from seeing prisoners and calling yourself brave for doing it

I’ll stand at prison gates’: MKs push to block Red Cross visits to Israeli prisons
MKs oppose Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners, citing security concerns and lack of action on hostages held by Hamas. Calls for reciprocity persist.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself."

By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Hey everyone, it’s that time again!

Campaigns need contributors, and so many awesome people have already contributed to mine - in the first two weeks we’ve raised almost $50k!

Our goal is $100k in the first month to really show people demand legislators who will fight back. Can you help?
