If you're already tying yourself to someone like Gavin Newsom, then what must you ignore in order to potentially vote for him for any office.

I want a politics that focuses on the most marginalized as most important.

I disagree with a lot of people I really respect at this moment. I don't see the situation in the U.S. as they do. I think that people are refusing to land the fascism plane because they don't want to start actually thinking through what that means.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him.

Nearly one in three people in Gaza are going multiple days without eating, according to the UN.

More than 1,000 have been killed by Israeli forces while trying to get food at aid sites.

By continuing to supply Israel with military aid, the U.S. is complicit in this bloodbath.
