The child who first whispered the truth to themselves in a bedroom at night, and the adult who finally says it out loud in a room full of people who love them: that is the same person. The same knowledge, the same truth, carried across years. It never went away. You never went away.
Now that Platner has ended his campaign democrats will subvert democracy in Maine and install a pro-Israel corporate candidate who represents the complete opposite of the platform Platner won on. And then they’ll shame voters when they don’t show up in November.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya refused to abandon his patients in Gaza. He buried his own son in the hospital courtyard after he was killed by an Israeli drone that struck the entrance of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He kept the hospital running through Israel’s brutal 85-day siege, and didn’t stop fighting for his patients even when the Israeli military raided the hospital and kidnapped dozens of hospital workers. For that, the Israeli military kidnapped him a year and a half ago, and now he's been beaten, starved, thrown in solitary, and is in critical condition — all for trying to save Palestinian lives.
In his last meeting with his lawyer, Dr. Abu Safiya said “They brought me here to kill me.” Dr. Abu Safiya must be released immediately, along with the thousands of Palestinians the Israeli government is holding without charge or trial, who are now at risk after the Knesset passed a law that allows the death penalty for Palestinians.
Kidnapping one of Gaza's few remaining doctors while bombing its hospitals and killing over 1700 health care workers is yet another facet of Israel’s genocide — and it is being carried out with American weapons, paid for with our tax dollars. Palestinians have survived three years plus a century of ethnic cleansing, genocide and aparthied. Enough is enough.
In Congress, I will fight tooth and nail to cut off the endless flow of weapons and American taxpayer dollars to Israel as it violates countless international laws and indiscriminately bombs civilians across multiple countries at once.
Israeli soldiers are reportedly torturing Dr Abu Safya --a pediatrician, for God's sake!
Without strong pressure on Israel, these may could be his last hours.

Very heartbreaking news…
A short while ago, the water station we partnered with for our water project was directly struck, resulting in the deaths of several people and injuries to others working there.
As a result, we have been forced to suspend our water distribution project until further notice.
This station was one of the most important remaining sources of clean water in Gaza City and served as a lifeline for thousands of families, especially after most other water stations had stopped operating.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and by the suspension of a project that was providing clean drinking water to people enduring these extremely difficult conditions.
More than 50 dead children.
50 children.
Dead.
Covered up by Wes Streeting so he could continue to have them socially cleansed.
How do you sleep at night?
I know many think that trans sports were a stupid hill to die on. I get it; you're probably not into sports and don't see why it's so important.
It's important because if society recognizes me legally as a female (which it does), then it makes laws that exclude me from that category in certain circumstances, then my legal recognition is only conditional.
That's the real fight. It wasn't necessarily about sports. It was about not allowing our legal recognition to be conditional.
So, please, stop assigning blame to trans rights activists because you don't understand the legal complexities of a civil rights struggle.
Landlords in NYC received 878,000 code violations last year alone, almost s third of which were for immediately hazardous violations including lead-based paint, lack of heat in winter and lack of hot water.
These landlords didn't violate the codes because they had no money to do maintenance or repairs. In 2024 (the last year that statistics are available) rent-stablized landlords saw a net profitability increase of 6.2%. In other words they're not hurting for money.
Anyone whining about a 2 year rent-freeze on rent stabilized apartments is doing so from a place of profound ignorance and an obvious contempt for the working class.
Obama bros took a generation inspired by hope and change, then betrayed them by allying with banks and forever wars, handing the nation to Trump.
And now they’re afraid of a person who believes maybe one day that humans would evolve beyond the need for borders and that Palestinian lives are worth saving.
In Texas if you protest against the illegal kidnappings of your neighbors, you’ll get sentenced to 50 years in prison because the judge wants to “send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”
Egregious.
She prepaid for her purchase, was picking it up had a receipt. Walmart employee accused her of stealing, cops showed up and killed her baby….
This is America.
Trump is using the “antifa terrorism” framework to crack down on routine activism and free speech, rounding up anti ICE activists in Minnesota this morning—many of whom are union members and leaders. This is another major escalation.
🚨 DHS conducted raids this morning in Minneapolis, targeting rapid responders. In a few hours, they will announce conspiracy charges against popular defenders who allegedly resisted federal occupation of the city, describing them as “antifa” groups. Another NSPM-7 case.
Calling her a "trans advocate" instead of a trans woman is crazy. Would it have been that hard to call her a woman, instead of something gender neutral??
Now that I've observed a respectful 36 hour window after the Knicks world-historic win...
Mamdani is, however, breaking *every* promise he made about the NYPD. 0 moves to disband SRG, end the racist gang database, revitalize CCRB. Worst of all—he's adding 580 cops in the Bronx.
