Israel is "essentially admitting in public to what amounts to a war crime,” said Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

She said Israel "can act with this level of impunity because no international government has really taken it to task.”
Israel’s Killing of Gaza Journalists Sends a Chilling Message
Israel’s targeted killing of a journalist in Gaza was a notable moment even for a war that has been remarkably blood-soaked for journalists.

New York City protest down Fifth Ave. was huge. Attendees can take the next step of urging their Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand to deny unanimous consent until the courts say the Trump administration is in compliance. Until then, Senate Dems are not using every parliamentary tool to delay.

This is where you call your reps and tell them you don’t want the govt to escalate protest situations, you believe the US has the right to protest. Demand they repudiate Mike Johnson’s escalation justifications.
JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

Congratulations to @nycalamounited.bsky.social!

Workers stood strong for 58 days and won:

💪Every single laid off workers’ job back, guaranteed.

💪All previously earned (and stolen) PTO and sick time reinstated.

💪Their original seniority and hire date as if nothing has changed.

Feed somebody. Drive some people to the doctor. Find out who gives toiletries packets out to people in need near you.

Figure out who needs care & who's providing it in your practical, physical vicinity & start there (I promise someone does).

Start first. Figure out the big picture after.
You can always take it back to @blackamazon.bsky.social: DOES BABY HAVE HAT

Put a hat on a baby. Feed someone a meal. Do one small thing to make the world materially easier for someone else. All we have is each other.
If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

This is one of my favorite poems of all time, written by the wonderful & greatly missed John M. Ford.

I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. So I thought I would share it.

Here's a 2017 article about the plan to use feminist and 'left-wing' language to 'split the letters'. I genuinely cannot tell you how enraging it's been to watch it be planned and executed to the letter, out in the open, and still see people falling for it.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

This happened to me in Trump 1.0 when I called in and the dude said, “wow lots of calls about this issue today!” and I asked how many is a lot and he said “Seventeen!”

Motivates me to pick up the phone every time.
Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.
