If you live in NYC and Dan Goldman is your US Rep, please write him to acknowledge his finally talking about Israeli aggression (in West Bank). He's great on ICE/MAGA but has been too quiet on Gaza. Remind him primary challenge could be very real.

Padraic X. Scanlan's ROT: AN IMPERIAL HISTORY OF THE IRISH FAMINE. The first chapter, "A Hungry Island" uncomfortably aligns with a very current (externally created) famine being imposed by another of our allies. The deliberate contempt and dehumanization is horribly familiar.

MAGA/Trump recalls Martin McDonaugh’s horrifying yet awfully funny play, THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE (2001) in which fear of Padraic, a sadistic Irish IRA militant (INLA in the play) causes his cringing minions to attempt resuscitating/replicating his much loved cat, Wee Thomas.

Current THE NATION "Heroism in Small Acts" by Elie Mystal: "...individualized, person-to person acts of political and social resistance work...because it's what the bad guys do. It's how the white-wing movement that Trump only recently has come to embody has been operating for my entire life."

Kirsten Gillibrand trumps all the wonderful things she's doing for us. Nary a mention of her shameful vote in favor of budget "resolution" She votes against her Dem colleagues, and is the head of the DCCC! Wants us to send her $. Don't. Send it to candidates directly. Like to AOC.

New Yorkers, please call/write Gov. Hochul to protest her meddling in CUNY/Hunter search for Palestinian Studies professor. Objecting to terms in the job listing such as "zionism" "colonialism" "genocide" is a MAGA/Trump strategy she should not be imposing on CUNY.
