Working eighty hours a month to stay on Medicaid is like running a mile a day to keep your wheelchair.

Dr Assal Rad—

“Palestinian men, women and children are being starved, bombed, burned alive, terrorized, torn to shreds, buried under rubble, dehumanized, occupied, and oppressed in every way imaginable by a genocidal state.

“But we’re told the real threat is saying the words “Free Palestine”.”

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

Version of red MAGA hat that says “Make America Go Away” with the Greenland flag on the side.

I’m told this is the new official hat of Greenland.

P.S. the Greenland flag is very cool. #GreenlandStrong

They're eating the checks!

HEY MAGA!

How the fuck exactly will trump invading Panama and Greenland, threatening Canada, and changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America make eggs and gas cheaper?

Just curious.

Why does Lauren Sanchez look like a prostitute? Why do we have to see everything and what does that say about Bezos?

Liberation in Syria Is a Victory Worth Embracing The country is now free, yet some remain trapped in the past

There is no better place on the internet to read deep, humane coverage of Syria than @newlinesmag.bsky.social. Just this week we published 6 different Syrian authors. Here's a thread of some of our best writing on Syria, starting here: newlinesmag.com/argument/lib...

There used to be a program called Arts Up Late. No longer.

So according to Dutton and his work experience kid James Patterson decry the “divisiveness” towards Jewish Australians - but in the next breath have no issue with removing the Torres Strait & Aboriginal flags & think Welcome to Country is “tiresome”…got it.

Australia's duopoly is cruel, captured and must be destroyed  - The Shot Parliamentary politics cannot save us - but we might be able to save parliamentary politics.  The ALP and the Coalition cannot be trusted.

Here's me. "Australia’s duopoly is cruel, captured, and must be destroyed"

The billionaire oligarch Assad is bombing civilians and hospitals all over Syria. This is what happens when the ruling class takes over our governance and nations. To hoard our resources and control us they are willing to exterminate whomever.

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

There should be a wealth cap, no single individual should own more than a billion, excess wealth should be pumped directly into social services. If monopolies are illegal, billionaires should be too.

People who stood up for themselves

Inaction is acceptance of the regime, apathy is consent for it to rule with impunity. Protesting is not only a human right, but your responsibility. Refusal to participate is complicity. #georgiaprotests #ukraine

This dudes hair alone is enough to remove him from office, much less that he’s a Russian puppet

Why don't Israelis talk about what is actually happening in Gaza?
1: The Israeli media doesn't report on it.
2: it undermines the gov't agenda.
3: Cultural training. Israelis don't want to know. Shira Vizel of Mothers Crying out To End the War wrote about this (in Hebrew) www.zman.co.il/539454/

I really relate to this not only about US but also Israel/gaza. I've stopped believing that we can stop the wave of history. Still, I write, I protest -- but mostly for myself. So my kids and grandkids will one day know where I stood when all this was happening, and will know that I gave it my all.

The US is now moving from the politics of inevitability to the politics of eternity. Russia is controlling/determining political outcomes around the world
