Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

This headline is inane. As the article itself concedes, no one thinks Trump is bombing Iran for humanitarian reasons. Nor is there any argument that the debate about R2P created the legal or political space for this idiotic war.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Worth repeating that the current American government is not just a policy disaster but an actual moral abomination, a collection of absolutely soulless, violence-worshipping sociopaths who really don’t think anyone but white Christians are real people with rights and interiority.

Full offense but this is why the epstein files are so triggering to victims.

"Release the files" is just words to yall.

5 seconds later you'll turn around and say a woman who has chosen to play defense for her husband in them for years was "right about everything"

And not even out of love.

Israel extending ‘Gaza playbook’ to Lebanon, charity warns Medical Aid for Palestinians accuses Israel of 'deliberately terrorising civilian populations' across Lebanon.

we failed to draw a red line on Israel's genocide of Gaza. now Israel is poised to bring Gaza-level destruction to the suburbs of Beirut.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

New Preschool for All Data Challenges Idea That Wealthy People Are Fleeing County In the years since 2021, when Multnomah County began collecting its Preschool for All tax, much has been made about the effect the program may be having on county income demographics. County data from...

The county has limited data about who’s paying its Preschool for All tax, which only went into effect in 2021. Still, some seized on a 14% dip in high-income filers between 2021 and ‘22 to suggest the tax drove wealthy ppl away. New data complicates that narrative.

i literally shared information about the profound bias at play here and its deadly impacts upon Palestinians.

i draw the line, as we all should, at making sweeping, horrific, & categorically untrue statements about an entire people.

3ib 3lik. (somehow, i doubt you know what this means).

Israel warns nearly a million people in south Beirut to evacuate their homes ahead of bombing. This is insanity.

This is a wildly Antisemitic thing to say.

Bigotry does not serve the liberation of anyone, and, in fact, is wielded to legitimize Israel’s genocidal and apartheid project.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Israel/OPT: Global impunity fueling Israel’s unlawful annexation measures in the West Bank Since December 2025, Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and to make ...

And Israel is poised to sever the West Bank into two with its latest "E1" land grab, an irreversible assault on the territorial integrity of Palestine.

Israel's Land Authority will announce winning E1 construction bids on March 16th.

he said:

"it feels like, under cover or this war, Israel is moving forward with their final solution."

No, they should channel their anger into getting challengers lined up to primary incumbents who refuse to fight like our futures aren’t on the line.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

BREAKING: Senator Blumenthal states Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran.

Boots on the ground.

A reminder that him & Netanyahu will not send their sons, but they expect your sons and daughters to go die for them so they can stay out of prison. Are we great yet?🤔

Yes. AND we desperately need to boost how much we pay legislators. They need living wages.
