She’s absolutely being rude in the video and I would say the same of a male representative. There’s a difference between being tough with journalists and being an asshole. That being said I don’t think anyone is going to see this, it’s just a good reason to not like her.

Joan Bennett Kennedy was a gifted artist & dedicated advocate whose compassion & vulnerability is an inspiration to us all.

Through her music, teaching, & support for the arts & addiction services, she uplifted so many.

My heart is with the Kennedy family & all who loved her.

no text on reconciliation or accountability for crimes or freeing the West Bank, no coordination with the UN or Palestinians probably because it’s immaterial. just a pause to get their own out and then finish the job

I hope/pray this very flawed ‘deal’ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire.

But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

I’m down.

Just so we're all clear:
The United States is being held hostage by a bunch of fucking pedophile domestic terrorists. The real enemy within.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
General Strike until they fuck all the way off, or better yet, have them arrested pending formal charges.

ICE “agents” shouldn’t be allowed to slink back into their normal lives and pretend they’re good people.

I have a similar reaction whenever my Japanese businessman dad keeps saying "we'll see how the markets respond." my guy, everything is on fucking fire and the people stop-drop-and-rolling are not on the Charles Schwab app

CNN editing out Stephen Miller naming "plenary authority" should forever revoke their status as poor journalists and forever mark them as plain propagandists. This is beyond false neutrality or lie by omission, they are ACTIVELY aiding the plot to destroy our country.

CNN should be considered an anti-journalistic organization. They've long abdicated their duty to report the truth by only playing referee, but now they're actively concealing the plot to destroy our country.

can we all just take a moment to contemplate how the ACA subsidies are apparently the only thing keeping thousands of Americans from dying?

this is why we need a single payer system for all.

That Bill Maher audience hooting and hollering for “dead Gaza baby” is just another sign of how literally insane people are in a post-pandemic world. We are collectively out of our fucking minds.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

Y'all need to understand these are all variations of the same colonizer white supremacist mentality. A mentality that enables these famines, genocides, and denials of human rights.

The only way through is together. Stand united. Speak up for all marginalized communities.

Call me crazy but as a Bostonite, I’m more scared of ICE coming to my city than some kids from Rhode Island doing wheelies in the street at midnight. Seeing cops intervene and seeing people online say “sO mUcH fOr mAyoR wU’s sAFe ciTy” over things that greasers and gearheads used to do is nuts.
