Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.

Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

Healthcare reform is just one battlefront in the larger goal of social and cultural transformation. Electoralism is a tactic, not a strategy towards that end.

Likewise, advocacy of the ballot measure route must also be held accountable to articulation of a viable winning strategy to actually win such an effort as opposed to offering it up as a mystical magic pill solution.

Honest pro-single-payer activists must break from the predominant Social Democratic notion that electoralism alone, including uncritical tailing of trade unionism is a viable path forward to such a major reform objective.

In terms of transactional electoralism, the majority of legislative offices held in the CA legislature would have to be replaced by non-corporate candidates who choose to align themselves with the public health interests, not private profit or individual political career interests.

The Democratic Party is a billionaires party of genocide and monopoly capitalist private profit. Their party members will never pass Single Payer health reform because their biggest donors include health insurance and pharmaceutical corporations.

The cars that could "see" everyone - except them: inside the fight to close America's most overlooked safety gap More than 14,000 pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists were killed in motor vehicle crashes across the United States in 2024. Federal rules already require new cars to include automatic emergency braking that can detect pedestrians — but cyclists and motorcyclists aren’t covered. Now a growing coalition of 85 organizations is pushing to change that. The bill they’re backing carries a name with weight: the Magnus White and Safe Streets for Everyone Act, named for a 17-year-old national cycling champion killed by a driver in 2023. The gap in the current AEB standard NHTSA’s 2024 final rule was a genuine milestone. For the first time, it required automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection on all new passenger vehicles — a mandate set to take full effect by 2029. The rule acknowledged that AEB technology reduces rear-end and pedestrian crashes, and that requiring it across the fleet would save lives at scale. But the rule has a defined boundary. Pedestrians are covered. Bicyclists, motorcyclists, and other vulnerable road users are not. That gap has real consequences: NHTSA’s own 2024 crash data show 1,103 bicyclists and 6,228 motorcyclists were killed in motor vehicle crashes that year — groups the existing mandate leaves entirely unprotected...

You know how you lose socks when washing/drying clothes? it seems like my first attempt at inserting an USB-A male connector into a socket, it's always the wrong way and I don't get how my success rate is for sure less than 50%? And, sadly, USB-A is one of the relatively better connector types.

The Week Ahead We seem doomed to another week of war news.

This morning, just after 8 a.m., Trump had a long ramble on Truth Social that concluded, “if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” That’s our start to the week ahead.

The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

Why did you gaslight Bernie Sanders during the 2020 primaries about Medicare-for-All? You want to maintain private insurance wealth extraction at the expense of public health you opportunist.

This is insane. Trump judicial nominees refuse to say Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

They are Justin D. Smith, Andrew B. Davis, Anna St. John, John Thomas Shepherd, Christopher R. Wolfe, and Jennifer Lee Mascott.

The last four were confirmed and are now federal judges with lifetime appointments.
