Retired Ob/Gyn. I just want everyone to have enough. Enough to live productive, peaceful lives without fear regardless of where you were born, the color of your skin, your native language, your sex, your gender, or your religion.

Kamala Harris: it is not just about the individual, it is about the apparatus, if you will -- I would refer to talk about the cronies who are allowing this to happen. Members of Congress. I'm going to use the F word, who are feckless. It is an appropriate F word

The fallacy here is that it doesn’t really matter what your abstract feelings are on abortion. What matters is what you actually do when faced with pregnancy. Suddenly if it’s you or your wife or your daughter, the choices are seen in a differently & are many times different than what you imagined.

Hospital officials said Hernandez was shot at least seven times including in the face, arm, belly and hip.

After the shooting, ICE agents cut all of Hernández’s clothes off, took pictures of him, then left him handcuffed sitting naked on the side of the road without providing medical care

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

ICE comes to mind immediately as does the USA propensity to develop sadistic prisons/detention centers/concentration camps for profit. All deserve complete destruction with thoughtful compassionate alternatives developed.

NYT Opinion Piece today:

Institutions need to be reformed, not destroyed; governing well requires skill and careful attention to detail rather than leaders acting on impulse and ignorance; and character and mental stability matter perhaps most of all.

I generally agree with major exceptions.

Major media outlets are helping JD Vance play both sides — posing as the principled adviser opposed to the war but also as the loyal helpmate supporting his president's war. Get a grip. Vance is helping a criminal president conduct an illegal war. It’s a scandal that working the press works so well.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Those stories about how white Americans chose to shut down their public swimming pools & fill them with cement rather than let Black people swim in them are perfect metaphors for what’s happening to the whole country right now.

To everyone who demanded that Dems fly back to DC to push for impeachment, 25th and/or a war powers vote:

They did. Republicans blocked it.

If you're not praising them today just as loudly as you were ripping on them a couple of days ago, guess what?

Today is Rachel Corrie's birthday. Precisely like the hundreds of journalists that Israelis have assassinated in the past few years, she was killed for bearing witness to Israeli crimes against humanity. An American from Olympia, Washington, she was only 23 years of age.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.

But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.

It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

Yeah Vance, you are about as popular in Hungary as you are everywhere else.

Trump and Vance say the 10-point plan that Iran released isn’t what they agreed to but it’s telling that they haven’t released what they they claim to have agreed

From today's New York Times:

Race/Related: Their parents were taken by ICE. The children had to raise one another.

A fine example of Christian White Nationalist family values.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
