.@Aamin_Hussain_, you said "after all, what else do we have?" (about voting)....There is actually so MUCH more! Check out the "beyond elections" section of the new Proximate Press. proximate.press

@ShaykhSulaiman WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PALESTINIAN DADS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ISRAEL?

BREAKING: ISRAELI PROPAGANDA GOES TO THE SUPER BOWL The Israeli government has paid for a Super Bowl advertisement set to air today. The Super Bowl is the most watched event in the US, drawing massive viewership.

So, Netanyahu has ordered his military to evacuate Palestinians from Rafah, where half of Gaza's population is crammed. Where the hell are they supposed to go? And WHY aren't other governments responding to this with concrete actions (beyond words)? aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/9/…

In a dialogue with his disciple Tsze-kung, Confucius observed that government needs 3 things: weapons, food & trust. If rulers cannot maintain all 3, they should give up weapons first, followed by food. The trust of the people is essential & #ParticipatoryDemocracy builds that.

“Trust is a two-way street. If governments expect to be trusted, shouldn’t they also trust citizens to shape decisions that affect their lives?” #ParticipatoryDemocracy democracyspot.net/2021/07/08/bet…

.@AJCalloway Thank you for visiting the Young Men Emerging program at the DC Jail. I publish a blog for Rob Barton and he wanted me to share it with you @istikame/freedom-snatched-away-f9ee6252b2c1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@istikame/free…

Are you aware that in many prisons, inmates spend up to half a year (sometimes more) "locked down"? Do you even know what that means? Read and open your eyes! #prisonreform #BlackLivesMatter @istikame/life-in-lockdown-6522556b9f76" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@istikame/life…

@mattduss Thank God we finally have someone willing to voice bold views and stick to his guns.

Contemplate ending the Forever War. Contemplate restoring Congressional authority over military action. Contemplate reinvigorating American diplomacy. Contemplate leading a global effort against climate change. Contemplate a foreign policy that builds on our common humanity.

.@repraskin People change! I believe in redemption. Do you? Please support the Second Look Act by @RepKarenBass.

.@ChrisVanHollen Long prison sentences need a #SecondLook. There is no evidence they deter crime & they destroy more lives. Please support the Second Look Act from @SenBooker.

.@SenatorCardin Long prison sentences need a #SecondLook. There is no evidence they deter crime & they destroy more lives. Please support the Second Look Act from @SenBooker.

Why the US 'workshop' for #Palestinians in #Bahrain will fail: We must first guarantee Palestinians freedom and independence – is destined for failure. shar.es/a06zRL

"Why I'm Glad Netanyahu Won." I thought the same thing. A Gantz win would have given Dems an excuse to put their heads back in the sand.disq.us/t/3dulcxk

.@PhyllisBennis nailed it in her defense of @IlhanMN. We need more politicians who are willing to speak truth to power no matter what the threat. youtube.com/watch?v=SI3Vff…

.@IlhanMN is a role model for speaking out no matter how hard they try to squelch her. In particular, the youth of #Gaza at @WeAreNotNumbers see her as inspiring for sticking up for them. wearenotnumbers.org/home/Story/Nau…

I just LOVE the look of these three #badass women: Reps. @AOC, Ayanna Pressley and @RashidaTlaib as they confront former Trump "fixer" Michael Cohen. #girlpower
