Little Omar was vaporized by Israel using American weapons. Nothing remains of the child's earthly body. He is gone, as if he never existed. What world is this that permits such horror day after day?

Incredibly stupid and dangerous for Democrats to keep claiming right-wing positions as some kind of sensible middle ground, especially when it comes to energy newrepublic.com/article/185858…

A terrific keynote by Jayati Ghosh calling on feminist economists to resist the 'neoclassical creep' in thorization/modeling, fashionable but ethically dubious methods like RCTs, & to embrace heterodox macro, new measures of wellbeing, rights-based policies, and to build alliances

Israel continues to slaughter civilians with American weapons. Today, Israel dropped what appears to be the US-made "bunker buster" bomb on civilians in Beirut. Hundreds died. American complicity in these atrocities must end. It's far past time for an arms embargo.

Nearly 100,000 Asheville residents may not have access to water for weeks. This is a public health disaster. bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-…

Something I took for granted was Bernie Sanders regularly and accurately telling large audiences that climate change is the world's greatest threat to national security. Minor, but now powerfully missed.

The muted response in the United States to a Jewish woman becoming the president of Mexico—a Jewish woman who is a leftist and supports Palestinian liberation—it tells you everything you need to know about the cynical weaponization of antisemitism to silence and repress the left.

In a sane world, this would herald the rapid demise of the gas industry. Politicians would stop supporting it. Banks would stop financing it. Insurance companies would stop insuring new projects.

It is to the everlasting shame of the US that our country authorizes this man to just continue slaughtering more and more innocent Palestinians and Lebanese.

All in for killing

Say his name

When Congress returns, I will move Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block offensive arms sales to Israel. But President Biden should act now: Israel is clearly violating U.S. & international law, using starvation as a tool of its all-out war against the Palestinian people.

Effective tomorrow, Trump will impose 25% tariffs on all products Americans buy from Canada and Mexico, and 10% tariffs on all products they buy from China. Assuming no exemptions, that's a $250 billion tax increase on Americans, which equates to about $2K per household per year.

I’ve got some news: I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! Watching Trump and Elon freely unleash chaos in their illegal

Dems, pick one House Republican in a risky district right now and start running ads in their district laying out what they are enabling. Explain exactly what’s going on with Elon and Trump. Scare just one Republican into calling this crap out. Don’t wait 6-7 months to start!

Wow, the trade union that represents America’s 3 million construction workers just said the Senate’s big bill would be “the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history.” They think it threatens up to 1.75 million construction jobs.

Dem leaders are such poor communicators. Republicans defunded the weather police — all our early warning systems. And instead of that simple message we get a word salad.

Billionaires and politicians have spent the past 3 decades gradually lowering your quality of life and will now call you unrealistic for aspiring to what was once bare minimum. Groceries are supposed to be affordable.
