"What struck me most wasn’t just the anger. It was how many people told me this was their first protest.

What I saw in Weehawken, NJ - first-time protesters marching alongside veteran protestors, a mayor walking his own streets, state legislators showing up on a Saturday, and organizers who a year ago had never run a rally now building a real grassroots movement.

It’s called democracy, and metaphorically, it’s now playing at a theater near you."

This tiny town just sent Trump a massive message

I live in Weehawken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, where I spent 30 years of my life, and where, on any given Saturday, most of the action is. Normally, I’d hop on the ferry, cross the river, and join the hundreds of thousands marching through the streets of Manhattan....

Raw Story

A protester in London spoke out after being detained during an anti-genocide demonstration:

“I’m being arrested for holding a cardboard sign, while our government continues to sell weapons and use our air bases to carry out genocide in Palestine.”

@DrALJONES @MySideIsHumanity Decades is right! Ralph Nader observed that there was only one corporate party, with two heads - he called it the 'duopoly.' That was in the '70s, even before he founded Public Citizen.
The big kerfuffel then was over the public financing of elections bill that Congress passed after Nixon's Watergate scandal. The Supreme Court overturned it in its 1976 Buckley v. Valeo ruling, enshrining the "Money = Speech" doctrine by which oligarchy replaced democracy.
The feeling right now of every scientist trying to communicate the seriousness of ongoing global warming and the urgency of reducing emissions.

~Former Counterterrorism director Joe Kent, who recently resigned over Israeli influence on US policy, particularly on going to war on Iran.

Another Israeli-inspired smear attempt fails. People have learned a lot from the Corbyn antisemitism scam.

The ICC is now breathing down Netanyahu's neck, and Israel can expect little mercy from the ICJ given the ferocity of its genocidal attacks on the Palestinian population.

Tine for the law to take its course: I am not alone in feeling the USA and Israel need to be brought to heel. Given their unparallelled aggression this wont be easy.

The US far right have understood for a century that they and their project were universally loathed.

That's why they don't want people to vote*

And they counted on people not noticing; counted on people's reluctance to face unpleasant facts until it's too late...

How Israel & pro-Israel figures in Trump's administration convinced him that Iran was out to kill him on US soil.

“I got him before he got me,” Trump said to reporters, indicating that fear of being assassinated prompted his decision to go to war.

Pro-Israel forces exploited Trump’s fear to secure their influence over him, "keeping him on the warpath against Iran."
