*Israel can't extinguish Palestinian resistance by violence. Palestinians can't win Algerian-style liberation war. Only thing that can save the people of Israel & Palestine & prevent another Nakba is a political solution recognizing both as equal citizens* lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n21/…
@DeanBaker13, I was born in 1963.
Friday you included me in the the Baby Boom cohort. This may make sense looking strictly at birthrates (many include me in Generation X) ...

Food prices fell 0.2 percent in April, up just 1.1 percent YOY, look forward to that big CNN piece on how people's paychecks are going farther at the grocery store.

At Columbia, administrators have allegedly used The Center for Student Success and Intervention - an institution created to, among other things, make it easier to punish discriminatory speech in the name of inclusion - to railroad pro-Palestine activists

The Public Editor at the NYT served as an independent advocate for readers. Their role included addressing complaints, investigating errors, and ensuring journalistic integrity.
This position was eliminated in 2017.
Interesting: @maxwelltani reports that NYT staff are circulating an open letter slamming editor Joe Kahn for being overly dismissive of internal criticism of the paper, refusing to see it as constructive. Similar to his dismissiveness of liberal criticism:

My former department at UCLA can't get a majority vote on "police violence and genocide are bad."

all my friends and I are constantly pressing our senators and reps, demanding that we stop sending weapons to Hamas and supporting them in international forums.

Is there any way that bail funds could organize under some kind of LLC cluster fund structure to play the same kind of broad daylight shell corporation bullshit the suits couldn't ban without wrecking their own oligarchy?

SB 63 — which would criminalize bail funds in Georgia — passed the Senate today. The bill would make bailing more than 3 people out of jail per YEAR a crime for bail funds and nonprofits. It also increases the number of non-bail-eligible offenses. atlpresscollective.com/2024/…

Last Sunday, Saint Sabina Church welcomed me to deliver their annual Martin Luther King Day message. As always, it was a blessing to be in such a beautiful space of radical love and beloved community. I did my best to link my words to the legacy of MLK by challenging empire, calling for justice, and demanding action from all of us. Gratitude to my friend and brother Father Michael Pfleger for the generous invitation and, more importantly, his commitment to the liberation of Black people.

Sorry, not being Trump isn’t going to be enough to win this time. Democrats depending on this messaging is futile.

The recent attacks on Yemen expose the hypocrisy of Biden and Blinken's "rules-based order." All the Orwellian nonsense coming from the top of the U.S. government is nothing more than a brazen PR scam. #HandsOffYemen

It isn't controversial. The Senate is fully aware US arms are being used by Israel to commit war crimes. They are totally fine with that.
It shouldn't be controversial for Congress to ask for information on how U.S. arms are being used in Israel’s military campaign in Palestine. I am LIVE NOW as the Senate votes on my resolution which would do just that. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1LyxBnZQw…

Israel is attacking the last functional hospital on the same night that the U.S. Senate voted 72-11 to not have the State Department report on Israel's war crimes. Two countries united in depravity.

Israel literally bombing #NasserHospital in Khan Younis (the south where it forced Palestinians to “shelter”) & U.S. Senate blocks measure to monitor whether its billions in aid to Israel are used to violate human rights.
This is not complicity. It is a US war.
