Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

There’s this guy on tiktok who goes into stores and weighs things to see if they’re really selling you what they’re saying they are. From Kroger’s shorting you on several ounces per bag of cheese to Walmart selling you 3 lbs of potatoes marked as 5 lb bags. I’m addicted to his channel now. /

1. It is not conspiratorial to suggest that the Washington press corps chose to help Donald Trump win the 2024 presidential election by trying to prevent most Americans from seeing the degree to which the former president had deteriorated mentally since leaving office.

Using "low IQ" to describe Black leaders is a racist tactic, not a political stance. It’s dehumanizing, bigoted, and beneath the dignity of the presidency. Donald Trump’s rhetoric is a disgrace that continues to stain our country.

Political corruption is even worse than you think. To build a functioning one-person-one-vote system where oligarchs don’t pull the strings, we need to make anti-corruption the central focus of our politics. @davidsirota.com explains why.

In Soviet Union they used to tell a joke about a man who buys the newspaper every AM, looks at the front page, curses, & throws it away. "Why do you keep doing that?," the seller asks. "I’m looking for an obituary." "But those aren't on the front page!" ..."Oh, the one I’m looking for will be."

Knives seem to be out for Katie Porter. There's a story she snapped at staffer at height of Covid, apologized. Others in the race have never done that? It seems like same Dem Party that backed Swalwell before the truth hit are now out for her, because she will regulate, investigate their donors

Russian Foreign Ministry has officially stated that Trump/USA has invited Putin to go to the G20 summit. The US is working overtime to rehabilitate the Russian dictator and European states need to take this into consideration. kyivindependent.com/russia-claim...

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money. No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this corruption.

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years. Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"
