Buried under the lede: after shutting down the Towson, Maryland location, there will only be one unionized Apple store remaining in all of the United States (out of 272 total stores), in Oklahoma City of all places.

Fewer things have broken me more during the Trump Era than realizing JUST how irreparably broken so much of the media is.

In my humble opinion, the Trump regime is just manufacturing consent for ICE agents to beat up Black and Brown pregnant women at airports

There will be no Third Reconstruction unless whoever Democrat becomes the next President runs on:

1. Purging the non-profit industrial complex and consultants from City Halls,
2. Using federal funding or the bully pulpit to expand local government capacity, and
3. Rooting out local corruption.

"There are a lot of parts of life in our city that we have just come to accept as if it's the cost of being a New Yorker, when in fact, these are political decisions and political choices" is the most succinct summary of the governance crisis plaguing Democrats in large cities I've ever heard

Democrats Reject Resolution Condemning AIPAC Money in Primaries

DNC also tabled resolutions on Palestine and war crimes as public support for Israel plummets.

“The Dem Party seems asleep at the wheel and is not responding to this very quick and very influential public opinion shift on Israel."

I tend to agree w people who say innocence cases are the low-hanging fruit of carceral reform, but it's remarkable -
& deeply symptomatic - how far Louisiana officials will go to deny that these clear miscarriages of justice occur & even retaliate against their victims

Track AIPAC needs to immediately clarify their methodology before the primary season ends.

While J-Street is Zionist, they are taking a different approach from AIPAC. You cannot endorse Mejia for rejecting AIPAC and accepting J-Street's endorsement, while not treating Daniel Biss the same way.

Upshot: We know a meeting between the Pentagon and the apostolic nuncio (diplomat) happened in January.

We know govt and church officials are taking issue w/the Free Press' characterization of the meeting.

We do NOT have both parties on record w/reporters disputing many of FP's *specific claims.*

Why should you care about a coal mine in India?
1. Its owner is a billionaire at the center of Trump and Modi's trade deal.
2. He is currently under investigation for defrauding U.S. investors *and* bypassing Iranian sanctions
3. @rsf.org documented his "lawfare" against independent journalists

One of the best things about America is out openness to immigrants and refugees in crisis.

It brought my ancestors here and it makes our economy stronger, our culture better, and [least importantly] our food tastier.
