I remember seeing A FEW GOOD MEN opening weekend. You have no idea how audiences cheered that movie when Tom Cruise got Jack Nicholson to break on the stand. It’s truly an all-timer cinematic moment. Rob Reiner was a Great. youtu.be/2sLcfQKU_co?...

Criminal alliances have one goal: to strengthen their Control over financial, judicial, law enforcement, journalism, and real estate industries. What weakens this control? Citizens who actively dissent, hold the industry leaders accountable, and force criminally-complicit politicians to resign.

When we remember the names of Bondi Beach - victims, survivors, perpetrators - let’s remember, too, this hero: Ahmed al-Ahmed.
A Muslim Australian fruit shop owner of Syrian descent, al-Ahmed risked his life & took 2 bullets to save Jewish strangers.

I already know that most of life is Unfair,

but waking to the Rob Reiner news, the death of a beautiful Creative person, one of the best among my generation of Boomers,

while also noting that the Worst of my generation is alive and creating havoc in the White House,

emphasizes Life's Unfairness.

i can't believe i have to say this but

the answer to the gun violence in australia this week is not more guns, its not concealed carry. it's less guns. it's less hate. it's less allowing hate to fester for personal or political gains.

it's less guns. get less guns.

What a vicious circle the Republican party created over four decades of voter suppression, trickle-down economics, mass disinformation via the media that GOP donors own, party purity tests, Christian Nationalist influence on policies, culture wars...!!!
A political party corrupted forever.

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime.

America, are you ok with this?

i mean if this doesn’t sum up what we also did to the Kurds, and so many other “allies” in the entire history of America

Or like how Seattle is named for a local Indian chief who was nice to the settlers and the literal 5th law the settlers in Seattle passed was an order to expel all Indians.
In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Dissent against a genocidal war in Gaza is not merely discouraged but criminalized, while political intimidation and extortion directed at major institutions, especially higher education, are recast as the new language of governance.
