Ager: I had a neighbor who didn’t go to the doctor because he had a stomach ache and thought he’d be all right. Four months later he died. People are more afraid of the costs than getting the care they need. This is happening all across the country, and we can do better.

Anyone who tells you there is a 'ceasefire' in Gaza is gaslighting you and is an anti-Palestinian racist:
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 30 Palestinians, including several children
Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians including several children on Saturday, one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire.

like ocean waves
our quiet voice ebbs, flows
hopeful, not naive
gravity doesn’t vanish
it finds balance
the world keeps turning
we notice beauty in small things—
like the sky painting itself each morning
a curve of a smile
breath deepens
there is meaning enough

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

If you think they’re building more detention facilities, increasing mass surveillance, and growing the size of ICE just to deport undocumented immigrants, then you haven’t been paying attention.
Continuing to fund ICE is enabling what we all know is coming next.

I'm sure it will be available soon but given magistrate judges, district court judges, & the appeals court all said the U.S. couldn't arrest Don Lemon I'm curious exactly how they acquired an arrest warrant

A lot of folks seem to not understand how federal elections work. They are run by states and localities, and federal elections are on the same ballots as state elections.
Think through how hard it would be to “steal” an entire set of midterms.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.
This video clip also demonstrates that Alex Pretti was made very angry by the brutal, lawless violence of the DHS. That makes him just like me, and a large part of America.
Until he was shot 10 times in the back.
