The government of Israel is starving Gaza to death. It’s a war crime to use starvation as a weapon. The only way to end this genocide is with an arms embargo.

Time for my colleagues to end their silence.

Giving Charlie Brown Christmas a jazz score is probably one of the top 10 decisions in human history

There are tens of thousands of orphans in Gaza. Little kids undergoing amputations alone without a soul there to comfort or care for them. And CNN wrote an article about the unbearable trauma of the monsters who are committing these atrocities and proudly posting them on social media. Sick doesn't begin to describe it.

Must watch video from my colleague Khody Akhavi commemorating 70 yrs of Ike's Chance for Peace speech 4/16/53

MUST WATCH:

70 years ago, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his Chance for Peace speech warning Americans of what an unending arms race would cost our society.

Today, if we see large numbers of working people all across the city of Chicago turn out and vote for @Brandon4Chicago, we can finally begin to create a government which invests in the needs of its people.

CHICAGO: the polls are open until 7 PM — VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

You know your election and media systems are broken and rigged when a mayoral candidate paying his water bill late is a portrayed as a bigger scandal than a mayoral candidate helping Wall Street loot $1.5 billion from the city’s schools. https://t.co/w4K0mWCllN

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Pissing away millions of public funds because you’re a hired hatchet man for school privatization is, uh, not the same as an unpaid water bill

Paul Vallas “got Chicago Public Schools into really bad deals that we’re still paying for a quarter century after he left.”

Honestly this clip makes me embarrassed for Foucault.

Do people really think this is profound?

[SleepyJacobin @LuccasHallman]

@harveyjkaye It’s especially ironic given the reactionary rhetoric he uses in that speech about the dangers of ‘collectivism’ and ‘the mob’( I assume he means civil rights mov’t?)Sounds more like Burke denouncing the French Rev than the author of ‘Rights of Man.’ Paine would be disgusted.
