New: the fight to host the DNC 2028 convention ramps up this week with DNC officials doing site checks in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia. The whisper campaigns have already started: Atlanta doesn't have enough union hotels, Chicago hosted the convention in 2024, Boston signals "liberal elite," Denver isn't in a swing state — and Philadelphia, the 2016 host, is a reminder of the year Hillary Clinton lost the election. axios.com/2026/04/19/dem…

Today, the Global Sumud Flotilla announced the largest coordinated humanitarian intervention for Palestine in history. On March 29, 2026, a unified maritime flotilla and overland humanitarian convoy will depart simultaneously, mobilizing thousands from over 100 countries in a coordinated, nonviolent response to genocide, siege, mass starvation, and the destruction of civilian life in Gaza. “This is the enemy we are confronting. It’s not a person. It’s a way of life that determines the future of other nations.” — Saif Abukeshek, GSF Steering Committee The announcement was made at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, grounding this mission in a legacy of global solidarity and civil resistance. This mission brings together: - 1,000+ doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers - Educators, engineers, and rebuilding teams - War crimes and ecocide investigators This isn’t just about sailing. It’s about the world rising together. 📅 March 29, 2026


JUST IN: Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy doesn't say he has any regrets after furious backlash to his X post calling reports of Iranian ships slipping past the U.S. naval blockade "awesome." "I guess I just have to be more careful about sarcasm on Twitter," Murphy exclusively told FOX News.



I have thought about the whole Michigan Senate thing a lot. and as someone who has lost a child and is Brown, I really think the anger at McMorrow is the deep seated rage a lot of Brown folks feel about watching kids that look like our children get blown up in Gaza and Iran while women like McMorrow only bothered to care about that loss of life once the polls started to change. And it’s wild that she and her camp don’t seem to recognize that even while they try and get mad at Brown people for still being bitter about Gaza as she talks out of both sides of her mouth while submitting AIPAC position papers.








This is the rub with all “2 state solution” bromides from high status liberals: you ask them to define a “Palestinian state” and even their most blue sky vision is a completely humiliated bantustan occupied by foreign troops. No such comparable demands ofc are ever made of Israel
