We have right to envision - and build - a wildly different future than the present we currently inhabit. A good future, not a dystopia. It's an act of resistance.

This is the kind daily, maddening insanity that is going on in the US right now.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Recognition means nothing without cutting #military ties. #Australia is fueling the very war crimes it condemns. While claiming to support Palestinian statehood, the Albanese government is bankrolling Elbit Systems, supplier of banned weapons, #Gaza drones, and tools of occupation.

Australia handed $10m to Israeli arms firm as Albanese recognised Palestine

Yet again, the government is handing taxpayer money to a company steeped in Palestinian blood: Elbit Systems. It's quite a contrast to Anthony Albanese's posturing on recognising Palestine.

Share these kinds of stories with the people who watch Fox News and listen to the Republicans. Lies. Ignorance. Propaganda. Misinformation.

Border patrol agents tried to kill a woman … then lied about it. Why is Border Patrol even allowed in Chicago? The city is not in the 100-mile border zone. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorn...

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Literally violating the constitution. Flag-burning is protected by the First Amendment and this has been upheld over and over again.

The understaffing, underfunding, and repeated attacks on NHS take a toll. The struggle to continue to provide care when your institution is being systematically failed is unbearable. It's time to take care of the nurses and doctors who take care of us.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

So, apparently the President and his deputy chief of staff have super-out-date intelligence info about #Portland. May DoD - sorry DoW- can update them on the fact that there are no current street battles going on in Portland.
