George Floyd would be 52 today if he had not been brutally murdered by police. He was a loving father taken in a heinous act of police brutality.
We dedicate this October 14th in his memory.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.

RIP Hind Rajab.
Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.
I will never forget this story.

A reminder that the Republican Party gained total control of the Florida Legislature, Governorship, and the Cabinet just over 20 years ago. They began dismantling public education right away. That is why we are here.

I tried posting to TikTok today but I couldn’t find words. I didn’t know where to begin or what to talk about.
Just sitting there trying to figure out what to say with so many things going on. Goma. North Gaza. The West Bank. Immigration.
And then my son needed me so time was up for today.

So what do we do when our smartest friends/family work for #Meta? They’re equally comfortable making big salaries but actively contributing to suppressing democracy and catering to a demagogue? Getting so called “progressives” to leave Big Tech would be an important 1st step in building a coalition
This is what the Broligarchy wants out of Trump - a big wishlist to advance their power and fortunes. Zuckerberg for instance wants to flog AI to federal agencies and defence contractors.

The industry’s most powerful people were front and center at Trump’s inauguration, and each of them is hoping for something more than just an invitation to the kickoff party for the new administration...

#Gaza: Since the #ceasefire an intensification of violence, mass arrests and violent incursions has been reported across the West Bank.
This trend comes after MSF was forced to suspend operations in Jenin and reduce activities in Hebron and Nablus due to obstruction of movement.

America has been heavily propagandized by its media system for years. Palestine is a case in point.
It’s why the #tiktokban is a thing. Add in our abysmal media literacy (literacy period) and the growing #techoligarchy and it makes one wonder if it’s all by design.
