"Taking part in protests has become a ritual, as familiar as observing Jewish holidays or the Fourth of July." Marianne Goldsmith on marching with the great under-recognized novelist-activist Kay Boyle. lithub.com/marching-the-stre…

Israelis are going to the polls in the country's most important election in recent history and the first since the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking to secure another term in power. His main rival Gadi Eisenkot accuses him of putting political survival above national security, and of turning Israel into a global pariah.
ew. FALSE.
The ad they are crying about isn’t even airing in Michigan but these are the ones the GOP is running in a state with a large Muslim population. Stevens and her pro Israel faction in the party have said absolutely nothing about the bigotry. But coming out in full force to hurt Abdul days before the election about an ad he has nothing to do with

Netanyahu is warning his supporters about losing power as voters deliver their judgment on years of war in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

Trump doesn’t get to tell American Jews how to vote. We don’t all think alike about Israel, and no politician gets to decide what our Jewish identity should mean to us. We’ll make those decisions for ourselves.

"The time has come, the Walrus said"
Israel's election is the day after tomorrow and time is running out for Netanyahu to make a play that will scuttle the entire thing.
He won't send ground troops into Iran and seems to be barking at the moon about imaginary wars. The last vestige of the damned. 60,000 American Jews are travelling to Israel to vote against Netanyahu.

Grey morning in Kyiv.
What a joy to learn that metro trains cross the Dnipro River over ‘my’ bridge again.
Yesterday, it was quite a challenge for me to get to the right bank of the city. But I met interesting people and brought rainy beauty in the pockets of my phone.

#Trump & his administration is determined to criminalize voters who oppose him/them.

This is Skye. He was lured out of Kruger National Park in South Africa a few weeks ago and illegally killed by JARED WHITWORTH from Kentucky during a safari hunt. Skye’s life was worth more than the amusement of a hunter. It’s time to #BanTrophyHunting once and for all!

Republicans. Don’t. Care. About. You.
The grifting, corruption, and Republican cowardice are staggering.

1/ The Wyoming Mustang Institute recorded this video of Saffron in the Red Desert on Aug 30, 2026. She was moving around and interacting with her family. She is the cremello filly whom the BLM shot at the trap for having blue eyes, which they erroneously equate with blindness.
