The DOJ tells us when pigs fly they'll release the files. It's a fact there's clear evidence plenty of pigs already flew on that airplane to Epstein's Island & are roaming free to potentially find more victims. Sex abusers don't stop when their pimp dies

Amnesty interviewed 247 people for the report, including 208 survivors (169 adults and 39 children) who experienced or witnessed conflict-related abuses. The report also contains open-source analysis, including 89 videos and extensive analysis of satellite imagery from North Darfur.

Amnesty International has released a major report concluding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during its campaign to seize El Fasher in North Darfur state in Sudan.

The report - City Under Siege, Children Under Fire: Rapid Support Forces' Crimes Against Humanity in North Darfur - documents how civilians in and around El Fasher were killed, injured, beaten, tortured and detained between early 2024 and October 2025 as the RSF fought the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied Joint Forces in a war that devastated North Darfur.

We demand an immediate ceasefire in Sudan - and for the urgent deployment of an international force to protect civilians. The UK gov must end all arms transfers to parties of the conflict, including to the UAE.

When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.

Compulsion to film bear on cellphone kills human's natural instinct to immediately flee from bear. And the third party filming it all - was that a security cam or like those suspect camera angles in Faces of Death videos?

don't give up

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Children.

Let that sink in.

According to a new UN inquiry, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

No government, army, ideology, or political argument can make the killing, starvation, displacement, and traumatizing of children morally acceptable. A world that excuses the destruction of children has lost its moral center.

We must not grow numb. We must demand an end to genocide, protection for Palestinian children, unrestricted humanitarian aid, accountability for these atrocities, and every child’s right to live in dignity, safety, and peace.

THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IS GETTING NERVOUS 

The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own.  

The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming.  And they don’t like it.

What we saw on Tuesday in New York, what we are seeing all across the country, is that ordinary people are getting involved in the political process, are taking on establishment candidates, and are winning. What is particularly frightening to the establishment is that many of the candidates, and their supporters, are young. The future belongs to them and they want that future to look very different from what it is today.

It’s not complicated. Progressives and democratic socialists are winning elections because the vast majority of the American people understand that status quo politics and policies are not working.  You don’t have to be a PhD in economics to know that in America today the very rich are getting much richer while the vast majority of our people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities — healthcare, housing, food, education and utilities. You don’t have to be a sociologist to realize that the younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents.  You don’t need to be a political scientist to understand that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires and their super PACS to buy elections, undermine democracy, and protect their privileged positions. 

The American people, across the political spectrum, are rejecting the establishment’s  uber-capitalist ideology, value system and priorities.  They want an economy and a government that works for all, not just wealthy campaign contributors. 

More and more Americans refuse to accept the current reality that:

One man, Mr. Musk, owns more than three times as much wealth as the bottom half of our society.  That billionaires and large profitable corporations often pay an effective tax rate lower than truck drivers or nurses. They are demanding that the billionaire class starts paying their fair share of taxes.

We are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. They want Medicare for All.  

Tens of millions of workers are earning starvation wages. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.

Big Tech and the wealthiest people on earth are aggressively pushing AI and robotics, the most transformative technologies in history, without public input. They want these technologies to benefit all, not just the handful of billionaires who own the industry.  

Nearly 800,000 Americans are homeless, and more than 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing. They want a freeze on rent and the construction of millions of units of low income and affordable housing.

Never lose sight of your aim

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[Saganism @Saganismm]

"The idea that our sense of self worth comes not from anything that we’ve done, not from anything worthy, but by an accident of birth, is where the crux of the humiliation is, in my opinion. I would say those of us worried about being demoted, those of us who wish for us to be important, should do something important. We should make an easily understandable, achievable, and inspiring goal for the human species, and then set out and do it. That would give us the confidence that we sorely lack by being dependent on our self esteem being based on nothing we do.

We want to have self esteem? Let’s make a planet in which nobody is starving. Let’s make a planet in which men and women have equal access to power. Let us make a planet in which no ethnic group has it over another ethnic group. Let’s have a planet in which science and engineering is used for the benefit of everybody on the planet. And my personal idiosyncrasy, let’s have a world in which we go to other worlds."

LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Last night, voters across New York delivered a powerful message: the era of status quo politics is over.

From Buffalo to Queens, grassroots candidates ran bold campaigns focused on the struggles facing working people and won decisive victories. Not only did Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier win their Congressional primaries, but progressives won downballot as well. Adam Bojak, Christian Celeste Tate, Eli Northrup, Illapa Sairitupac, Samantha Kattan, Eon Huntley, Diana Moreno and David Orkin all won their New York state assembly races, while Aber Kawas and Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas won their State Senate races.

These victories occurred despite the fact that Super PACs funded by AIPAC, the crypto industry, AI and other billionaire-backed groups have spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive candidates and crush a movement that threatens their economic and political power.

They happened because ordinary people knocked on doors, made phone calls, organized in their communities, and demanded a government that works for working families instead of wealthy campaign donors.

The American people — in New York and all across this country — are tired of a rigged economy that allows the very rich to become richer while working families struggle to afford housing, health care, child care and education. They are tired of a political system dominated by wealthy donors and corporate interests. And they are tired of billionaires and their Super PACs attempting to buy our elections.

Last night showed that when working people stand together, organize, and fight back, they can defeat establishment politicians and enormous amounts of money and political influence.

We’re making progress. The task before us now is to build on that momentum.

If Democrats regain control of Congress next year, they must listen to the people who put them in office. Status quo establishment policies are not enough. We must be bold.  We must take on Oligarchy. We must represent working families and create a government that works for all, not just the few.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Congratulations to Brad Lander and Claire Valdez on their landslide victories in New York congressional primaries.

Together, we are creating a grassroots progressive movement that will defeat the Oligarchs.

[sandra jennings @sCLEborn]

Our people want representatives who live progressive policies, legislation & practices - lead, follow or get out of the way - a largescale grassroots progressive movement is sweeping our nation & "we the people" will not be denied.
