Developing a culinary social enterprise centered on people & the environment. Past experience in education, journalism, research, & public health. Love food.
So now when I hear Christmas songs I remember my grandmother & experience the emotions of missing her. Part of that is contempt for the previous admin that told her & those around her that Covid was a hoax. She had turned 107 early this year.
Descansa en paz, abuela. Te quiero.
ICE creates a highway hazard, then invents "agitators" to cover it up. Reporter footage from Fort Myers shows zero interference during the arrest—just an empty SUV left in moving traffic by agents trying to dodge accountability.
⭕️ The LA Times is running paid content promoting the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel, despite its status as Syrian territory under international law
The Los Angeles Times published a sponsored travel guide titled "9 Days in Israel" that lists the Golan Heights as a destination within Israel, with no acknowledgment that the territory is occupied Syrian land whose annexation violates international law.
The guide describes the Golan Heights as offering "open space," vineyard tours, and "sweeping views" — presenting it as a routine Israeli tourist destination alongside Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It recommends wineries in the Golan Heights without noting that Israeli settlements and commercial operations there are considered illegal under international law.
The Golan Heights was captured by Israel from Syria in the 1967 war and unilaterally annexed in 1981 — a move the UN Security Council declared "null and void and without international legal effect." The Trump administration recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019, and Colombia became the only other government to follow suit this week.
Rick Sanchez climbed the ranks of CNN, Fox News, and NBC. He’s coming clean:
In U.S. media, there are lines you simply cannot cross.
According to Sanchez, the unspoken rule is simple: If you criticize Israel’s actions or offer an ounce of nuance regarding Iran, you’re not just controversial, you’re unemployable.
Every aspect of western media is closely controlled by jewish zionists.
Claims she has a button fitted on her belly, and when she gets the nod that he’s asleep she moves her hand and presses a button that wakes him. They’re calling her The Zapper. No idea if it’s true but it *appears* to line up.
Thank you FBI!
Some of you know I was an Animal Control Officer & Cruelty Investigator here in Southern California. The abuse being allowed to flourish in LA is criminal & could be easily stopped with proper enforcement. Bass has chosen to allow the unspeakable cruelty for political points, & every person that supports her has blood on their hands.
These two angels were rescued from Inside Safe, the housing organization created by Karen Bass. The unsupervised conditions of the apartment were so bad that the caseworker said it was considered a “biohazard“. They were also never walked for the entire time that they were there. Now we need your help. Summer is an incredibly difficult time to find fosters because everybody is on vacation, so if you are in Southern California and you could open your home to either dog that would be incredible. They are both good with dogs. Even if you can’t foster or live nowhere near California, please comment on this post and share it. If you can foster either dog, please DM me. We have more people stepping up starting in September, so even if you could just foster for a couple of weeks, please DM me.
🚨 ALERTA URGENTE 🐾🐾
Hoy es un día triste para todos los animales. Se acaba de aprobar, en general, el proyecto que permite la caza de perros.
En vez de permitir su caza, debemos combatir con fuerza el abandono y el maltrato animal.
Comparte y alcemos la voz. No permitamos esta barbarie. 🐾 RT #NoLaLeydeCAZA
Abdul El-Sayed just literally won an impossible primary campaigning for M4A — a cause he’s written a whole detailed book on.
Now Yglesias is insisting Abdul must show voters he will betray the very cause that has defined his life and fueled his political success — as if this wouldn’t destroy the very authenticity that voters have been responding to.
“Don’t actually offer the legislation you promised voters” is just a sociopathically cynical demand from a sociopathically bad faith pundit.
Yesterday I emailed the FBI tip line and reported an animal abuser that has gotten away with crimes for years on Skid Row. She has admitted to tying dogs mouths shut with rope so they can’t bark so people can’t find them, she has threatened to kill people if they call the police, she has had caseworkers be physically attacked when calling the police, she has had 10 dogs and cats crammed in wire crates covered in feces, and she has repeatedly hit the dogs. This mentally deranged individual is not only a menace to dogs, but a menace to society. Time for prosecution.
MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going.
We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year…
$323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase.
National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority.
Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance
They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.
Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

Democrats should introduce national paid sick and parental leave and call it the MITCH Act. If you can be missing from your job for months as a U.S. Senator and still collect your full paycheck, working Americans should get the same deal.
"The moment I realised Israeli society was fully fascist"
Journalist and filmmaker @AbbyMartin shares her experience speaking to everyday Israeli citizens in 2017, and explains how genocidal rhetoric has now gone mainstream in the country.
“My country is not prepared for this mental health crisis that they are dumping upon my people.”
Israelis are vacationing on Siargao Island in the Philippines after participating in the genocide in Gaza. And locals are fighting back.
