Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Pleading for a world where the reaction to this is a return to standard operating paradigms which don't require a smartphone or an app.
The digital divide, already acute, is going to get worse under tariffs at a moment when it's increasingly impossible to live your life without digital connectivity.
Trump’s Tariffs Will Widen the Digital Divide
Tariffs will raise prices on essential tech and lead to inflation. Experts say that people who depend on cheap stuff to survive are going to suffer the most.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

Calling this a "mistake" when the administration has repeatedly lied to try and justify sending this man to a foreign slave camp is so fucking dishonest from NBC. If your starting point is "America Good" in every scenario,you can't properly cover this moment. This is embarrassing shit.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.”
It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay.
It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime.
No more military aid to Netanyahu.
