"We are all setting the norms & the tone about how children are and will be treated, with every word, choice and action...I have to believe that the care of our global community could, at least patially, restore fragments of childhoods stolen by war & atrocity."
February 20, 2026 at 3:22 AM
"Grieving for suffering children...is also a way to create a global community united through care. As James Baldwin said: 'The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe.'"

NEW: State lawmakers and gaming regulators across the US are escalating their fight against prediction markets.

The row escalated this week as the CFTC said it filed a friend-of-the-court brief defending it's “exclusive jurisdiction” over the markets.

Microsoft on the wrong side of history, helping genocide in Gaza and now ICE.
ICE deepened its reliance on Microsoft’s cloud technology last year as the agency ramped up arrest and deportation operations, leaked documents reveal.

Meanwhile Bloomberg is in the Epstein files. He is mentioned in e-mails between Maxwell, her mother, & sister. He dined at Maxwell's apartment w her mother. A separate letter to SDNY says Bloomberg told his newspaper not to investigate Epstein.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children @ncmec.org worked closely with the FBI. How is this even functioning under an administration that participated, protects, and possibly still operates a child trafficking ring, at the highest levels of US government? 💔

Another way to influence voting & elections. Many people like to go along with the crowd, especially if it will help them win a bet.
It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

My late friend Nancy Sanchez documented much of the damage caused by the glyphosate mixtures humans and the environment in Colombia.🧵
I first traveled to Colombia in January 2001 just as the aerial spraying campaign began under Plan Colombia. My first and best Colombian friend was Nancy Sanchez. Yesterday Nancy died in a Bogota hospital. She was my guide on many trips to Colombia. She was a fearless advocate for women & civilians.

"DHS increasingly emulated Israeli surveillance & targeting," according to this Israeli newspaper.

ICE is acting like an occupting military force & has amassed a US database from DMV, social media, license plates, facial recognition from border crossings, etc.

Musk also gave DOGE data to ICE.

Why is this especially concerning? Among other things, head of venture capital arm of Bloomberg created an AI Academy joining AFT & UFT w Pentagon contractors Anthropic, Microsoft, & OpenAI, to put AI in classrooms across US.

Microsoft & OpenAI are also assisting genocide in Gaza.

Reminder that Francesca Albanese is not being targeted for a sentence twisted and lifted out of context in a speech.

She is being targeted for daring to name the names of giant companies complicit in the crime of genocide.

They would rather destroy international law than be accountable to it.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.
