I was honored to visit Our Lady Salam, the first Arabic-speaking Lutheran parish on Staten Island. Its congregants hail from as close as Hylan Blvd to as far as Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, & Egypt — yet have planted roots in our city. Many carry the weight of war and genocide daily.

The far left is dumb because they don’t understand humanity and its faults and will push to disaster The far right is dumb bet they don’t care about humanity and exponentially accepts fault. The center is dumb because it concedes to to the right and sacrifices morals for power. Only progress wins.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I’ve been called all sorts of names on here. I hold that all humans are, in terms of rights, (and some neglect the responsibility of decerning when others have neglected a universal (human) moral) good.

Another thing that needs to be at the top of a Democratic administration’s agenda is impeaching SCOTUS Justices Thomas and Alito

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

Everything should be judged in relation to the goal, but both the goal and the means of reaching it are subject to moral judgement. Precision is therefore not attention to every detail equally, but attention in proportion to what matters.

I will always love Dolly Parton for this… “Of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No.”

Trump is a rapist, release the Epstine files Isreal is commiting genocide, Free Palestine Russia should surrender, Slava Ukraine Listen to black people, and give them power! Listen to women, and fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights, bin the bigots AUKUS is a scam, close pine gap

This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT

STEPPING UP Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent autopsy so Nolan Wells’ family can get answers they can trust. Tyler Perry is covering Nolan’s funeral so the family can focus on grieving instead of worrying about the bill. They didn’t have to do this. They chose to, and that matters.

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out. But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.

I’m done with Platner. I like his politics. And the SA story definitely feels like a hit job. HOWEVER I always believe the victims. Spare me the self-righteousness wankery about the ‘signs’ Until there is an allegation of SA it’s just rumors. The tragedy is that someone was subjected to SA.

ICE has intimidated people for Instagram posts, tried to unmask anonymous Internet users, and investigated people just for being critical of their actions online. In case the Trump administration forgot: Criticizing ICE is protected by the First Amendment.

youtube.com/watch?v=v27v... Katie Phang won a court order directing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the DOJ to either comply with the Epstein Files transparency Act or "show cause" as to why they are not doing so. DOJ just filed a reply to the judge's order. And it is . . . absurd.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

She was whipped by men whose religion, which was created by other men, doesn't think men have the self-control not to be tempted to assault her if they simply see her hair. Seems that the wrong people are being whipped.

The Reflecting Pool should be left in shambles as a reminder of his failed presidency. He should never be allowed to touch anything else in DC again. Let the next president fix it properly.
