The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States.
It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.
And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

The NYT is single-handedly responsible for one of the foundational lies that was used to justify the genocide of Palestinians: ‘Screams without words’.
Between that & this, it really should end any discussion about the breadth of *intentional complicity* in genocide manufacturing by the NYT.

The coloniser audacity of someone who has nothing to do with the place telling its people that they cannot live in their own land because coloniser’s’ money-making is a bigger priority than brown people’s rights.
Donald Trump has vowed that displaced Palestinians will not be allowed to return to Gaza under the U.S. plan for the region. As part of this, he is threatening to cut aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to accept Palestinians.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.
If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.
Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
