New York police arrested ~100 anti-war protesters demanding an end to weapon sales to Israel.

The protesters staged a sit-in outside the offices of Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand.

Sen. Sanders is currently pushing to block more than $600m worth of bombs for Israel.

I predict that most people will horrified by the sweeping changes Trump imposes next year if he's elected with a GOP-controlled Congress just months from now. Trump, who would command our military, has called for "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." We should heed his words. A man who believes he can have his political opponents assassinated and jailed must be stopped by those who truly value our freedoms. Vote Democratic.
Can you imagine the intellectual poverty displayed by saying that the Pope is "weak on crime"?

Age verification is not a "good idea" for anyone.
It doesn't stop youngsters from accessing ' illegal" sites, they will find a way around it, but what these laws do accomplish is:

- Everyone, including you, will have to upload their official ID on the internet, thus exposing all *your* personal information to hackers via data leaks.

*Your ID* can then be used to do all sorts of fraudulent activities, and *you* will be responsible for untangling the mess -- it will take years , plus you will be forced to pay out all legal fees, not the website or the government.

Additionally, because the government can monitor every keystroke from your computer or other device, you could be penalized for your opinion....not to mention I don't want to live in a dictatorship like North Korea, China, or Russia --censorship is terrible for democracy.

-kids will learn how to become 'hackers' in order to circumvent law so, I ask you how does this improve the life of children or yourself?

My entire timeline right now:
Polls show that Democratic Party members are increasingly skeptical of Israel and supportive of Palestinians โ€” a shift that hasnโ€™t been reflected in the partyโ€™s official position. https://theintercept.com/2026/04/09/democrats-dnc-israel-aipac-resolution/

Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership

Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.
