"Flevit super illam," by Spanish painter Enrique Simonet, depicts Jesus mourning on the Mount of Olives as he approaches Jerusalem as described in the Gospel of Luke. The Latin title of the 1892 painting means "He wept over it."

Could you please recommend print #news publications with a #progressive perspective?

I want my parents to read something more tethered to reality than the NY Times, which is continuing its slide into fascism AFAICT. My dad is wisely avoiding technology and the Internet these days, but he still relies on the NYT paper.

I haven't been able to find any local progressive news sources near my parents in northern NJ: https://jawns.club/@skyfaller/113829426407993694

So I'll settle for non-local news, #magazines or whatever.

OK #NewJersey folks, can anyone tell me if the New Jersey Hills Media Group is any good? The local paper for my parents would be the NewsBee: https://www.newjerseyhills.com/morris_news_bee/ I understand that in 2022 they switched to a non-profit model like the Inquirer, which seems like a promising development: https://newsweneed.org But they paywall most of their articles online, so I can't judge them. Some hints suggest a Republican lean to me, but some Dems are indistinguishable from fascists. #NJ #LocalNews

These are the people who #Progressive supporters tell, their our allies who will get us out of this?

I don't see that, in fact I see people who are showing that #America deserve 4 more years of #Trump after ignoring & refusing to help the victims that they overlook along with the needs complete annexation of the country's existence now cos the #USA deserves what it gets!

Bernie's "good friend, Joe" #Biden gave the #Trump #GOP extra time to prepare the #terrorist apparatus now being deployed against us. That's why #communists call it " #socialfascism": it stalls the #workers to protect #capitalism.
