Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. harpers.org/archive/2025/05/…

It appears there was a lot of inaccurate correlative reporting on this topic over the past 3-4 years, according to medical research.

Rashid Khalidi is retiring from @Columbia
“I have been both disgusted and horrified by the way higher education has developed into a cash register… a money-making, MBA, lawyer-run, hedge fund-cum-real estate operation, with a minor sideline in education”

The first case of #Polio in more than 25 years, but no one will care because the baby is Palestinian.
I'm so saddened and ashamed of our country looking away and pretending they are trying to stop this madness. We don't want your thoughts and prayers.
We need action.

From police associations to real estate interests, California power players are launching an aggressive strategy of recalling progressives in retaliation for votes they don’t like. In Santa Ana, Orange County, they just fell flat on their faces. jacobin.com/2023/11/jessie-l…

.@RashidaTlaib is an embarrassment to other Democrats. She's an embarrassment because she exposes as a sham their claim to defend human rights. She's an embarrassment because she endures so much when they sell out so cheap. She reminds them that their lack of courage is a choice

These activists don't represent most Jews. Neither did the Jews who went to Mississippi for Freedom Summer. Neither did the Jews who joined the ANC. People who demand justice when they have the luxury of indifference are rarely representative. That's why we remember their courage

As I left the House chambers, I pressed my light to speak—a reminder that this legislature is removing 11,000 Montanans from discussion on every bill going forward.
I will always stand on behalf of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself.
