Lest we forget

Tory Wegerski@producertory.bsky.social

In 2022, Sean Parnell had to suspend his campaign for PA Senate before the Republican primary because a judge awarded custody of his three children to his ex-wife. She had testified about "many incidents" when he physically abused her and their children. A judge found Parnell "less credible."

It's interesting that Lindsey Graham never muted his criticism of Russia in alignment with the MAGA/oligarch narrative. Russia issued an arrest warrant for Graham in 2023.

The ink isn't even dry on coverage of Graham visiting a Ukrainian drone factory. He just met with Zelenskyy in Kiev...where he frequently visited and spoke against Russia. Hardly the first time that such travel has been dangerous

I wish to remind my fellow Americans: Ronald Reagan = really, really bad Jimmy Carter = really, really good I suggest malabsorption of this basic factual dynamic has wrought terrible, tragic damage in this country and in the world.

we are not “self-hating jews”; we are not antisemites; we are proud jews who also believe in the human rights of palestinians. we have proved those things can and do very much coexist, something that seemed impossible not long ago. we are a constituency and we have a voice.

Mona Khalil, Lebanon’s most well-known sea turtle conservationist, died of her wounds today after being injured by an Israeli strike I feel sick

Megaphone News@megaphone.news

Mona Khalil spent over 20 years protecting sea turtles on Mansouri Beach. After she was injured in an Israeli attack, activists continued her initiative at Rmeileh Beach, where they protected the first loggerhead nest of 73 eggs on Thursday. youtu.be/fbBKzK4JNRc

Here is the most powerful man in the world sleeping through a public function because he was up all night doing who knows what (nothing good, for sure). Embarrassing, dangerous, disqualifying, unprecedented.

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

In America, you can go from cradle to grave as a Christian without exhibiting a single Christian grace, and expect your descendants to do the same without a second of self-reflection. Congrats, us?

We’re both proud Jewish New Yorkers. But there are sharp & clear differences between us on Israel/Palestine. For example, Dan Goldman marched alongside war criminal Bezalel Smotrich yesterday, who called it “just & moral” to starve Gaza. I did not.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

This is flatly unacceptable. Itamar Ben-Gvir is a criminal that should be arrested and subject to international law enforcement

Paul Murphy TD@paulmurphy.pbp.ie

The woman in this video is Caitriona Graham, an Irish citizen. This is how our citizens are being treated by Israel, having been abducted in international waters, trafficked to a third state and now experiencing humiliation, stress positions, aggression and violence.

"White, right-wing Christian hegemony conceals and undermines Jewish and Muslim solidarity by conceptualizing Muslims and Arabs as the greatest threats to Jewish survival while disguising the threat of white supremacy against Jews, Muslims, and Arabs more broadly." (from 2018)

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Zionism is to Judaism what Christian nationalism is to Christianity, but at the top of the pyramid, oligarchs and corrupt politicians like Trump aren't even Zionists nor Christian nationalists, they’re predators who feed off our resources and destroy the foundations of democracy and the rule of law.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel getting another glow-up from @steveinskeep.bsky.social this morning. Why, @npr.org?

David Passmore@dlp2pgh.bsky.social

Honestly - I'm rethinking my morning listening choices because I'm so weary of @steveinskeep.bsky.social and his disingenuous efforts to platform MAGA figures. @npr.org how has it transpired that Morning Edition is so occupied by Inskeep and how he prefers to spend our time? Please address this.

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking. She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

These seem like upstanding gentlemen. Good thing they're so well-armed and protected by armor, someone might hit them with a roll of TP.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.
