April 19 is next
TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

This letter, from now-resigned prosecutor Danielle Sassoon to Pam Bondi, is worth reading in full. Simply put, there is no non-corrupt reason for dismissing Eric Adams’ case. The Trump DOJ is itself obstructing both justice and the rule of law.

I guess it’s time to hide our cash under the mattresses?
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Carol of the Bells was based on a Ukrainian folk song. It was written by Mykola Leontovyc in 1914 who died in that war ... Let's remember him and remember the joy of love and family at this time of year www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPhD...

“Health insurance magnate gets killed with a gun” sounds like a British comedian doing a bit about an American version of A Christmas Carol

righteous poetry FTW
Najwan and I were on a festival together in Poland about ten or so years back, he is a righteous poetic force. Get this book!
My brother Najwan Darwish has a new collection of selected poems out with Yale Press, translated as usual by the mighty Kareem James Abu-Zeid, called No One Will Know You Tomorrow. Go get it! yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.
