Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.

I feel like this podcast episode about the relationship between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has not gotten enough attention. Well worth checking out.

Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑
this is not fighting antisemitism. this is harassing random private citizens for expressing any hint of empathy with Palestine. it's gross, bigoted and dangerous.

In 2020, writer @johnghoakes sought to exorcise some of his inner noise by doing a week-long liquid-only fast. He liked it so well that he and his wife began fasting twice a year. In this episode, they explain the how and why of these biannual fasts. bit.ly/cw_TheFast

If you engage in criminal political activity (selling illegally occupied land), you aren’t a synagogue, you are a criminal institution and should be protested.
Falastin Flip@TOliveFern

Of course the @nytimes didn’t mention that small fact in the entire article

Earlier this week, @GovKathyHochul issued a message to New Yorkers, telling them to be "Air Quality Aware." Yet also in the last week, the Governor halted congestion pricing, and stated she is looking into banning masks. This is absolutely hypocritical.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran

The irony.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
Like all other Special Rapporteurs, I perform my duties without financial compensation to preserve my independence. I have never got paid for anything I have done in this capacity. In the past months, I have even been subsisting on personal & family savings to dedicate all my energies to this role at a time of unprecedented urgency in the oPt. I have also waived contract fees & royalties for the book I published in 2023 & refuse payment for lectures I deliver all over the world. My external research team is also volunteering their time to support my work. One university has fundraised for my special assistant's fellowship and so far, only received private donations to cover her travel expenses. This is known to the UN and verifiable. UN Watch’s accusations are completely unsubstantiated and aim to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign. I refuse to allow my work to be diminished by any forms of intimidation. Today, like every day, I remain faithful to my mandate to find a path to dignity, justice and peace for all in Palestine. Meanwhile: #Israel has just bombed a UN school in Gaza, reportedly killing over 40 Palestinians who were seeking shelter. And #Spain has announced that it will join South Africa's proceedings before the @CIJ_ICJ. #StopGenocideIn_Gaza #CeasefireNOWPermanently

Just in case you need to be reminded this Memorial Day. 'The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.' theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
