Does she do political contributions? That would be the game changer

Fantastic. Its sequel goes way off the rails. Thanks for your list!

I know it's demoralizing to be pouring so much of ourselves into damage control and harm reduction against this fascist rampage.

Please try to remember - and remind each other - that the tide is turning, and this level of effort will yield incredible rewards if we keep it up.

Wisconsin specific PSA: deadline to register to vote in the Supreme Court race is coming up mid-March.

1. Even if you think you’re registered, verify.

2. If you plan to register by mail: the deadline is 3/18 but *MAKE SURE TO DO IT DAYS EARLY* because new USPS rules: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

Me seeing a person reading in public without the cover showing: if you’re going to read in front everyone you have an obligation to disclose what it is!

Me seeing a person reading in public with the cover on display: oh look at the big brain over here reading such a smart book!

Do the people who think chatbots are alive also worry that popcorn is angry at them because it's so loud?

The war in Iran is already hugely expensive Aircraft carriers and stealth bombers are expensive to use.

Trump quite clearly views the military, as Kurt Vonnegut once said, β€œlike toys a rich kid got for Christmas.” And it turns out that sending carriers to turn donuts in the Persian Gulf while destabilizing another Middle Eastern nation for no reason is not cheap.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

There’s something to be said for consistency. Collins has been senator in Maine for a while now. She may vote for Trump on every important thing but at least we know that. If Platner gets in that’s an unknown. He could get in there and reveal he’s been running a 15 year con.

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We can draw on the last war authorization in 2002 to say that any Democrat with pretensions of running for president who votes to fund war in Iran will never win the nomination

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

Inquiry for New York Times

Good afternoon,
My name is [REDACTED]
and l am a reporter for the
New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it.
With gratitude,
[REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement 

Hello [REDACTED]
We do not collaborate with The New York Times.
Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours.
The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable.
So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it.
Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team
