Letters from @inclusivemass.bsky.social on the K-12 antisemitism recommendations. "With DEI under attack, fight against bigotry should be all-encompassing," writes Nancy Murray. "It is now more important than ever to take a united approach in the fight against bigotry...and hate in schools."

Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Zionist group J Street, defends criticisms of Israel: "If we want Jews to be safe, and if we truly desire peace in Israel and Palestine, we must defend the distinction between political argument and racial hatred."

In LA, protesters have come face-to-face in recent days with members of law enforcement wielding “nonlethal” weapons. While these are regularly used in the United States to disperse public demonstrations, they can cause serious injuries.

RFK Jr for the win.

It's quite possible that Whiskey Pete 1) is too stupid and 2) has no aides to figure out he needs to coordinate with LAPD, in which case this will become a clusterfuck very quickly. is he going to feed the Marines? Or are they supposed to live off the land?

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Mark Green is a combat vet. Now would be a fantastic time for him to condemn the use of the military against civilians. I’m sure he’s too much of a coward to call out Trump directly, but give him a call & make his remaining time in Congress fun anyway: (202) 225-2811

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

Morale must be sky high!

Attend a #NoKings protest this Saturday to take a stand against fascism and wake up the mainstream media. My latest Stop the Presses newsletter. Spread the word.

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

RFK Jr.’s plan was always to undermine the vaccine regimen as much as he can. Bill Cassidy and other Republican senators were fools to believe anything else. They have enabled a profound threat to the health and well-being of millions of Americans.

RFK Jr. promised under oath not to take away vaccine access. He broke that promise again today. ACIP determines which vaccines are covered by major insurers. Replacing career civil servants w/political appointees (or disbanding ACIP altogether) will reduce access for *millions of Americans*

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement: “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” WITHOUT CHANGES.

My friend was going to come over today. She called to tell me she can't in tears. She said ICE was at the intersections by her house. She can't leave because she's undocumented. Her kids are citizens. She's afraid to let them out of the house because she's afraid they'll be targeted regardless.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Anyway I keep trying to come up with something useful to say about how incredibly desperate the corporate media is to extinguish even the most basic, milquetoast speech against fascism, but I simply have nothing

Let me be exceedingly clear here: The government is trying to manufacture a crisis to justify violence against its own citizens. There’s no ifs or buts — the Trump Administration is trying to provoke a violent response. They want a fight. They want an excuse to fire and terrorize.

I am not joking AT ALL. This man understands the world and how it works and is able to clearly describe it in a way almost every mainstream media pundit seems to be absolutely incapable of.

The country would be immeasurably better off if the NYT permanently replaced David Brooks with this guy.

I wanted to share this so that people know how dangerous these less lethal munitions are. I left the protest early last night to take my friend and coworker, Nick Stern, to the ER. He is having surgery this morning to remove embedded shrapnel. These protesters came to his rescue when he went down ❤️.

People are going to get seriously hurt, or worse, over this maniac’s escalation.

🚨Bad B!tch Alert: Patricia Eguino 6C06 Commissioner is the lone protestor at a march telling Patriot Front to GTFO of DC. #hometownhero A true #patriot

Do read this latest 'good stuff' post right to the end to wallow enjoyably in the Patricia Eguino clip: it's a beaut.

You gotta see the video at the bottom of this post. Patricia Eguino is s hero with ⚽️ ⚽️! open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

We need more people like Patricia Eguino in this world. Stand up for what's right, even if it's just you. www.instagram.com/stories/patr...

LAPD helicopters are starting to buzz around again tonight. LAPD statements so far are vague and riddled with lawyer-speak, and our Mayor should order the police chief to provide full & live transparency regarding LAPD operations.

Elon, Big Balls and the rest of the DOGE bro incels never wanted to dismantle the “administrative state”. They wanted to own our data, invade our privacy, and destroy our fundamental freedoms in a dug-addled power grab made possible by simply kissing the ass of the Useful Idiot in Chief. It worked.

In Putin's Russia, Elon Musk would be done — plane crash, window fall, polonium tea. Tech billionaires who assault democratic institutions forget an important fact: These institutions protect them from the very authoritarians they seek to empower.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1965: The Supreme Court decides Griswold v. Connecticut, a case challenging state law prohibiting the use of contraception. The Court held that the law violated the “right to marital privacy” even though it’s not mentioned in the Constitution. /1

/2 The sort of people who support Trump will be absolutely thrilled about violence against Angelinos and Californians, whether immigrants or not. They will cheer it the way Americans cheered Kent State. They will cheer it they way they cheered Kyle Rittenhouse.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

MAGA: It’s not fascism America: Rapidly turning into military war zones

In 1912, a Black man was lynched before thousands—then shot full of bullets. Days later, two Black teens were hanged. Forsyth County forced out every Black resident. They erased the truth. 📖 ERASED tells the truth they tried to bury. Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”
