Beginning on Monday, June 16, six JVP Chicago members will begin an indefinite hunger strike. We call on our senators, @durbin.senate.gov & @duckworth.senate.gov to do everything in their power to stop arming Israel and send food and medical aid into Gaza.

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered.

Disgusted and disappointed by this unbelievably awful decision by @dodgers.com. It looks like the baseball gods are punishing them!!
The Dodgers went to the Trump White House today to desecrate Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Fernando, Hideo, and the diversity, equity and inclusion that always gave the team their strength. Instead, they walked in the tradition of Al Campanis. Email them your thoughts! [email protected]
The Dodgers Are Planning to Visit the White House. It’s a Disgrace.
To meet with Trump now is to defile the memory of Dodgers great Jackie Robinson and to humiliate many of team’s own players.
