They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.

This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.

Interesting how the Indigenous woman kidnapped from the Conscious flotilla isn't getting a fraction of the attention as white participants. Even articles aren't naming her! Her name is Mskwaasin Agnew.

After 30 years of publication, the U.S. Department of Agriculture abruptly canceled its annual report on the prevalence of hunger in America. The USDA’s press release condemned the report as “politicized,” “subjective, liberal fodder” that did “nothing more than fear monger.”

An American Hunger Crisis Is Coming

Trump’s cruel and disastrous policies—slashing food stamps and hiking inflationary tariffs—are creating an American hunger crisis.

Today's ceasefire is not the first Gaza has had. In January, a separate deal was announced, but it fell through in mid-March. As Dunya Suleiman wrote at the time, until we realise Israel is the original sin, this cycle would continue ⬇️

#twoyearsofgazagenocide

There never was a ceasefire in Gaza, just killing by other means

Gaza knew it was a matter of time before Israel resumed bombing. Until we realise Israel is the original sin, this cycle will continue, says Dunya Suleiman.
