My piece on politics in the 1970's and "Marching with Kay Boyle."

"Taking part in protests has become a ritual, as familiar as observing Jewish holidays or the Fourth of July." Marianne Goldsmith on marching with the great under-recognized novelist-activist Kay Boyle. https://t.co/LmR3IyFnZp

Israelis are going to the polls in the country's most important election in recent history and the first since the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking to secure another term in power. His main rival Gadi Eisenkot accuses him of putting political survival above national security, and of turning Israel into a global pariah.

ew. FALSE.

The ad they are crying about isn’t even airing in Michigan but these are the ones the GOP is running in a state with a large Muslim population. Stevens and her pro Israel faction in the party have said absolutely nothing about the bigotry. But coming out in full force to hurt Abdul days before the election about an ad he has nothing to do with

BREAKING: Voter turnout in Israel is SHATTERING RECORDS as Benjamin Netanyahu fights for his political survival, with 55.7% of eligible voters already casting ballots by 4 PM local time, the highest turnout ever recorded at that hour. Netanyahu is warning his supporters about losing power as voters deliver their judgment on years of war in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

Trump doesn’t get to tell American Jews how to vote. We don’t all think alike about Israel, and no politician gets to decide what our Jewish identity should mean to us. We’ll make those decisions for ourselves.

[Paul Healey 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @Ukraine_Oracle]

"The time has come, the Walrus said"

Israel's election is the day after tomorrow and time is running out for Netanyahu to make a play that will scuttle the entire thing.

He won't send ground troops into Iran and seems to be barking at the moon about imaginary wars. The last vestige of the damned. 60,000 American Jews are travelling to Israel to vote against Netanyahu.

Grey morning in Kyiv.

What a joy to learn that metro trains cross the Dnipro River over ‘my’ bridge again.

Yesterday, it was quite a challenge for me to get to the right bank of the city. But I met interesting people and brought rainy beauty in the pockets of my phone.

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

Drone debris falls on Kyiv like steel rain.
The mayor keeps us informed about the damage it causes.
We pretend we have umbrellas to hide under.

Saturday evening.
Drone attack again.
I look out of the window to check whether it’s raining or not.

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

Today I took warm socks out of the drawer.
The woollen ones the Lady with Golden Hands knitted in the last years of her life.
Every time I pass the place where she used to sell them, I sigh.
Her smile...

It's getting colder in Kyiv.

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack.
Unscheduled power cut.
A new EcoFlow (portable power station) was delivered a few minutes ago
as the previous one was saying goodbye.

Life.

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

A new Sunday Letter from Kyiv was sent to members.

This week, I shared what caught my attention, what made me stop and think, and how I see life in Kyiv during war.

#Trump & his administration is determined to criminalize voters who oppose him/them.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

The Trump administration sent letters to all 58 California counties Friday, demanding that they segregate ballots from alleged noncitizens and threatening election officials with potential criminal charges if they fail to comply, https://t.co/pY5p9Eor1F

This is Skye. He was lured out of Kruger National Park in South Africa a few weeks ago and illegally killed by JARED WHITWORTH from Kentucky during a safari hunt. Skye’s life was worth more than the amusement of a hunter. It’s time to #BanTrophyHunting once and for all!

Republicans. Don’t. Care. About. You.

The grifting, corruption, and Republican cowardice are staggering.

1/ The Wyoming Mustang Institute recorded this video of Saffron in the Red Desert on Aug 30, 2026. She was moving around and interacting with her family. She is the cremello filly whom the BLM shot at the trap for having blue eyes, which they erroneously equate with blindness.
