After losing her law firm job for publicly criticizing Israel, Melat Kiros refused to back down.
Now she's a 29 year old immigrant, former barista, and democratic socialist who just unseated a 15 term incumbent to win a seat in Congress.
More and more people are rejecting Zionist politics. The idea that Zionism speaks for everyone is losing ground.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
HR: We lost the new hire today.
CEO: What happened?
HR: He resigned after his first week.
CEO: That makes no sense. We doubled his previous salary.
HR: Yes, but salary was not the issue.
CEO: Then what was?
HR: You asked him why he left at exactly 5:00 p.m. And why he left the office before you did.
CEO: I was just trying to understand his mindset.
HR: He understood it clearly. He felt the company was not paying for his work, but for control over his time.
CEO: But commitment matters.
HR: So do boundaries. He finished his work, met expectations, and left on time. But instead of that being seen as professionalism, it was treated like a lack of loyalty.
CEO: People should not rush out of the office.
HR: He was not rushing out. He was simply leaving when the workday ended.
CEO: Still, it did not look right.
HR: That is exactly why he left. He realized very quickly that even with better pay, the culture expected presenteeism over performance.
CEO: That is unfortunate.
HR: Yes. We offered him double the salary, but also gave him a preview of a workplace where leaving on time becomes a character issue.
CEO: So what are you saying?
HR: If employees are judged for having boundaries, then no amount of money will make them stay.
A higher salary can attract people. But if respect for time is missing, it will not keep them.
This TMZ pivot might put them back on the map
‘If you see one of the 535 members of Congress on vacation during Easter Break’
“Take a picture and send it to us”
🇪🇸🇮🇱 BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez has just permanently recalled his ambassador to Israel. In protest. Over the attack on Iranian school girls.
Not a statement. Not a condemnation. Action.
He refuses to bow. Refuses to stay silent. Refuses to pretend business as usual works.
School girls were killed. Sánchez responded. With spine. With dignity. With leadership.
While others send condolences, Spain sends a message. While others stay quiet, Madrid acts.
What a leader. What a human being. The contrast with the rest of Europe couldn't be sharper.
Spine so strong. Silence so loud. The world is watching. And learning who stands for humanity.
New findings on mouth taping:
Mild OSA: works well (AHI: 8.3 → 4.7), ↓ 47% snoring
But for moderate-to-severe OSA: no benefit and potentially harmful (risk of asphyxiation, aspiration)
The fact that US First Lady Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting on "children in conflict" while the US and Israel killing children in Lebanon and Gaza, and murdered 165 schoolgirls in Iran, is the most hypocritical thing we have seen in the history of the Security Council.
Almost everything RFK Jr says here is wrong.
Reyes’s Syndrome is related to aspirin use particularly after a viral illness, but in children, not in pregnant women.
High dose aspirin isn’t recommended during pregnancy because it can cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosis. Low dose aspirin can be used during pregnancy.
Ibuprofen is not used during pregnancy because of concerns about harming the fetal kidneys.
Acetaminophen is considered safe for use during pregnancy.
As always, when you have medical questions, talk to your doctor. The Sec of HHS is not a reliable source of medical information.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders.
“The court’s patience is at an end.”
Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them.
One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢
Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔
Hey, so. After Charlie Kirk was killed, did the left doxx his kids' school and barrage it with so much harassment and violent threats it had to shut down for the safety of the students and staff?
Because the right did that to Renee Good's six year old son's school.
As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like @realDonaldTrump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums.
America is over it.
No more sending our sons & daughters to fight for oil.
This is sick!
It’s been over one week since ICE detained 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe—who are U.S. citizens by law and by treaty.
Tribal citizens are not “aliens.”
DHS must release them NOW and end these racist, unlawful arrests.
"There is nobody more American than American Indians! We are America, how can you possibly target Native Americans? It's legally impossible!"
Alabama has the third-highest maternal mortality rate in the country. A third of its counties are maternity care deserts.
Reproductive rights are severely restricted.
And in that context, Dr. Oz is calling robot performed ultrasounds “cool”?
No. It’s not cool.
It’s terrifying.
It’s terrifying that women are losing access to basic pregnancy care in a state that doesn’t even allow them control over their own bodies
