Remember when he was preparing to buy Twitter and many of us were saying, but what about the racism?, and most people were indignantly insisting, "he's not racist!"

Just like with Trump. And now here we are.

Israel Is Expanding Control in West Bank Under Guise of โ€œHeritage Preservationโ€ New changes could undermine Palestinian sovereignty and pave the way for further illegal settlements in the West Bank.

โ€œEverywhere here has heritage. Itโ€™s just an excuse to expand settlements and take Palestinian land,โ€ says a human rights advocate.

We just want to say thank you to everyone who keeps resisting even when Trumps goal is to wear everyone down. Tonight, workers began restoring the slavery exhibit at the Presidentโ€™s House Site on Philadelphiaโ€™s Independence Mall.

The US coup: one year on I re-publish my piece from a year ago. It's not yet over. But it's nearly there...

NEW: โ€˜Itโ€™s a coupโ€™.

One year on from when DOGE entered the US treasury & Trumpโ€™s blitzkrieg on the rule of law began, Iโ€™ve republished an article I wrote then about what the headlines werenโ€™t saying.

NB: Theyโ€™re still not.

There are 33k views on this now, which means the Zionist attempt to rewrite history is backfiring: all UKLFI have achieved is the creation of an even bigger audience for anti-genocide scholars to talk about history ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

CBS didn't want Colbert to talk to this candidate. He did it anyway. "This is the party that ran against cancel culture," Texas State Representative James Talarico said about the Trump administration

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.

So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

Black graphic with a quote attributed to Juana Rodriguez, ACLU client challenging an unlawful immigration raid in Wilder, Idaho: "My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos, experiences that no child should ever be exposed to. I'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end."

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event.

Theyโ€™re two of hundreds of people weโ€™re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.

Russell Vought raided USAID budgets he helped gut to pay for his own security The White House budget office reportedly set aside $15 million of remaining funds to protect the Project 2025 guy, according to Reuters.

There isnโ€™t much left of USAID after Trump and Vought worked together to dismantle the agency last year. Just around 100 staff members are left to close out all operations by September.

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didnโ€™t think weโ€™d be here publicly.

The US government won't stop sharing Nazi propaganda.

This past year, official social media accounts from the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and other government agencies have adopted a distinct voice online. But if you look closer, a pattern emerges.

The Romans loved their plumbing, and built large, underground cisterns in many settlements to provide water storage and distribution. These examples were excavated at the Hellenistic-Roman town Darazya, on the northern coast of Egypt.
