Forget the Board of Peace, Trump may be closer than thought to attacking Iran Tehran may claim it will not negotiate under duress, but that is precisely what it is being required to do

Some rivers aren’t crossed in style under the moon. Freezing waters under concrete ice is what Ukraine’s defenders have to push through to complete their crucial objectives.

We can’t change the weather, but we can help brave soldiers:

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

The German Science and Humanities Council and the German Rectors' Conference criticise attacks on academic freedom and declares its solidarity with US institutions and scientists. An attack on science anywhere is an attack on science everywhere. #AcademicFreedom #HandsOff

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

The devil inside

I stand with Sarah Inama.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

An Open Letter From a World War II Veteran to Today’s Republican Leaders "I Fought Against Men Like Trump. Now You Bow to Him."

open.substack.com/pub/patricem...

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Trump and KGB: How It All Began. Part 1 in a Series How the Czech StB and Soviet KGB First Became Interested in Trump in the 1970s and 1980s

Trump and KGB: How It All Began.

Trump’s actions feel like a defection from Team Free World to Team Russia and its authoritarian partners.

Michael D Sellers does not go into this with a pre-determined conclusion. He just want to take a good, hard, detailed look at it and see where that leads.

FACTS 🎯🎯🎯

Wow…

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS—Al Green stood up for the people. If you consider that a “distraction” you aren’t listening to us!

Great to meet with VFW members from Vermont.

These are the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country.

We are proud of them and what they've done.

No cuts to the VA. No privatization.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

I have talked to veterans all over the country. They’re not happy that, when the VA is already understaffed, Musk wants to dismember the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.

A commitment has been made to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. We must not betray them.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death.

People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.

EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.

Bernie is on FIRE!🔥

Americans! Let our Georgian friends inspire us.

NO FASCIST USA!

We miss your goodness and your leadership in the White House, Joe.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉
