US just bombed a school, killing 165 children.

Oopsβ€”I meant we just bombed a school.

Pronouns are wild.

For The First Time, More Americans Sympathize With Palestinians Than Israelis This is a huge change from recent decades, when sympathy for Israelis had, at times, a 50-point lead.

For the first time in modern history, polling finds that more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis β€” a stark reflection of changing attitudes toward the top U.S. ally as it commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza and wanton ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank.

Fascism is advancing through courts, police agencies, and billionaire-funded politics. It grows when Democrats choose corporations over the people, and when we choose caution over courage. We need fighters who understand the stakes and are ready to meet the moment.

Out of everyone running in 2026, Kat Abughazaleh is the one who best exemplifies Kobe’s β€œMamba Mentality” β€” a stone-cold killer: focused, relentless, and unfazed by a field of corporate-backed Dems. 🐍

Kat Abughazaleh is exactly the kind of candidate we should be supporting across the country: someone fighting to abolish and prosecute ICE, tax billionaires out of existence, deliver Medicare for All, and end U.S. aid to Israel.

"The President Must Be Removed From Office"

Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit.

When a platform incentivizes rage, degrades trust signals, and monetizes misinformation, society paysβ€”whether you’re on it or not. I steer clients to healthier options and owned channels, but personal choices won’t fix systemic harm. We need regulations that curb algorithmically amplified bullshit.

Both Republicans’ and Democrats’ responses to Gaza amount to supporting genocide. Maybe we should stop treating this as a two-party system when both the red and blue teams protect ethnonationalist states.

Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

Axios reports the DNC’s still-secret 2024 autopsy found supporting genocide is a "net-negative" for young voters. πŸ™‰

ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Congress has the power to take action right now!

Republicans gutted Medicaid and SNAP to bankroll ICE.

It’s time to claw back ICE’s funding, ban its use of private data, and end qualified immunity for its agents.

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

Whether we’re confronting federal misconduct or debating police reform in the LA Charter, institutions default to self-preservation. They consolidate power unless the public organizes to redistribute it.

We cannot let up. Accountability requires sustained, organized pressure.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

β€œFour of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. β€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Urban Planning for the People The planning profession is rooted in principles that put business ahead of people. Some people are beginning to push back.

The planning profession is rooted in principles that put business ahead of people. I spoke to planners and housing justice organizers about how the profession could be remade and how some are already pushing back.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Blue cities get scapegoated nonstop. Our leaders should praise people on the front linesβ€”peacefully protesting, documenting the madness, demanding accountabilityβ€”all while we grieve.

Flip the script: Dems are the party of safe streets & equal justice. GOP is pro-crime.
