The Grants Pass decision is horrifying. Homelessness is not a crime. Poverty is not a crime. Punishment is not just wrong, it's ineffective. What a disgusting, inhumane outcome.

~1,000 Palestinians are detained at Sde Teiman, which can only be described as an Israeli state torture camp. Prisoners are bound in iron cuffs, continually blindfolded, starved, beaten and publicly raped with sticks. We can’t say we didn’t know. We know.🧵972mag.com/sde-teiman-pri…

Rest in peace Jane McAlevey. She ran a strong leg of this relay race, and set the pace for so many. The baton is in our hands now.

2 things can be true at the same time: 1/ Existing regs make it stupid expensive to build affordable housing 2/ The main problem is the lack of a real public option: social housing At @cpluscp our focus is 2/. We've just released a detailed blueprint climateandcommunity.org/green-social-h…

This must be the verdict on Biden. The accomplishments of his term are overshadowed by his failures, especially his DoJ's failure to defang Trump after January 6, and his escalationist and genocide-enabling foreign policy. I'm glad to see him out. Miss me with the hagiography

No war in Iran. It's time for every member to go on record. Are you with the neocons who led us into Iraq or do you stand with the American people? I am proud to co-lead this bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Rep. Massie that is privileged and must receive a vote.

It’s inconceivable that, for the third time in 25 years, we could be on the cusp of jumping into yet another aimless war. Iraq and Afghanistan should have taught us that what the foreign policy establishment promises will be a “limited engagement” with “specified aims” will

The Truman 1945 allusion sure makes it sound like Huckabee is trying to persuade Trump to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

I'm sick over the damage this Republican bill will do. 17m losing Medicaid 3.2m losing food assistance 20x expansion of ICE to allow more kidnappings like we see in L.A. People will die. This is murder through policy. And the billionaires get richer.
