Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill.
Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump.
He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”

We should all have the backs of Amazon and Starbucks workers who are on strike this holiday season. They deserve better pay, hours, working conditions, and union recognition. Their greedy bosses should stop being Grinches, and grow hearts.

Certainly seems like a country that allows someone with a felony to be president should also allow someone with a felony to vote. Trump should not be president, but it is not because he was convicted of a felony. Plenty of people convicted of felonies go on to be incredible citizens.
A group of Mississippians are asking SCOTUS to determine if the state's felony disenfranchisement law violates the 8th Amendment's prohibition on "cruel and unusual punishment."

No one *wants* to be right about this. There is *nothing to gain* from being right about a genocide unfolding. Yet for over a year people and organizations vilified those of us calling it a genocide. With each verification comes a renewed, suffocating, and endless grief.
NEW: Human rights organization Amnesty International has released a 296-page report concluding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The group joins Holocaust historians, United Nations experts, and a growing number of nations worldwide in doing so.
