Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

A swarm of cops dragging away a rabbi protesting the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil says everything you need to know about the Trump agenda.

Trump doesn't care about Jewish safety - he's focused on taking away our right to protest. Not in our name.

A grassroots movement’s call for Americans not to shop at major chains for 24 hours in an “economic blackout” last week went viral — and now, its organizer is launching a weeklong boycott against Amazon.

Israeli authorities are violating the International Court of Justice’s legally binding orders in South Africa’s genocide case by denying the entry of lifesaving aid and services into Gaza.

Ceasefire or not, Israel is obligated legally as the occupier to facilitate entry of aid.
Israel Not Complying with World Court Order in Genocide Case

Are you looking for a Lenten Devotional Guide to use this year? Check out the one that Rev Brittany Scaringello shared this week in our Resource Library:
Simplicity in Silence, 2025 Lenten Devotional Guide — The Flipped Table Collective
This 7 week devotional was born out of the need to sit in silent reflection in these times, and a heart for justice and advocacy.

No. No. No no no no no!
Trump just said the US will take over Gaza and “level” it.
He said the US will “own” it.
And forcibly remove the 1.8 million Palestinians who live there.
And it will become the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

It is not just illegal. It is immoral.
And dangerous. And evil.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

This is unconscionable. Shameful. Terrible.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
