Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.

Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Religion is often the handmaiden of authoritarianism & Trump is pushing a white Christian Nationalism agenda.

@raushenbush.bsky.social joins Katie Phang to talk about the power of religion to fight for democracy and how religious leaders are speaking up and speaking out.

Wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years & then snatched up by ICE.

I dive into the case of Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam, who was convicted for a murder he didn’t commit and now faces deportation to India, a country he hasn’t lived in since he was 9 months old.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
 
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
 
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
 
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
 
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.
 
America first?

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids.

Americans MUST speak up now to save this country.

Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,”

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

The nurses at Concord Hospital-Laconia in New Hampshire will soon vote on whether to become the state's first nurse union at a private hospital.

I applaud this courageous effort and strongly support SEIU 1984 in their campaign.

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza.
