U.S. military members seek conscientious-objector status over US support of Israel in Gaza
"The death of 6-year-old Hind Rajab in February after she was trapped under Israeli fire in Gaza sparked international condemnation...
"and for Larry Hebert Jr., an active duty U.S. airman, the incident accelerated his decision to seek conscientious objector status from the U.S. military."
Will Justice Roberts lift a finger to defend the Court’s legitimacy? How can you revere a democratic institution while taking no steps to protect it against corruption and ideological capture?
"From air strikes to field executions, #FaultLines investigates the killings of civilians by the #Israel|i military in #Gaza and the role of the United States in the war. [..]
"Fault Lines worked with journalists in Gaza to profile three families as they try to survive the war."
“Baker’s brave defense of her community’s right to read is a testament to the vital role librarians play in upholding free speech and creative expression in the face of censorship.”
Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal #law that #bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, worried that a future Trump admin could invoke the #ComstockAct to crack down on #AbortionAccess or effectively #ban the procedure altogether.
This is just a political stunt, of course, because there is zero chance of actually repealing the Comstock Act. Senate Republicans wouldn't allow it.
It's probably a worthwhile political stunt. But I wish WaPo would instead write about the catastrophic harm to women that will occur if Trump becomes president again. These excursions into unreality tend to foster the pro-fascist leftists' lies about Democrats supposedly not caring about women's health.
This wasn’t #Trump’s first appearance at the #Church; he also held a rally there w/ #TurningPointUSA in 2020.…it’s an ideal venue: A weekly attendance of around 21k believers makes this one of the largest churches not just in AZ but in the nation.
Dream City…is a mecca for special guests who blur the line between #religion & #politics.
Texas Observer’s @stevanzetti, who provided the photos on Xitter:
Gov. Greg Abbott, Donald #Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, and Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn were all pictured with Gateway Church pastor Robert Morris, who recently was found to have sexually abused a child for years. None of them have issued a statement regarding the abuse.
There is a pedophile conspiracy of silence, and it’s on the right. As usual, everything they say is projection or a confession.

“The Republican representative, Mary Morrissey, 67, confessed to dumping water in the bag of the Democratic legislator Jim Carroll, 62. She later apologized during a Vermont state house session on Monday, Boston.com reported. “I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.”
#Vindman projected to win Democratic primary in Va.'s 7th District
#Trump#whistleblower Yevgeny “Eugene” Vindman was projected to win the Democratic primary for #Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, setting up what is likely to be a contentious, closely watched general #election battle between the retired #Army colonel & another military #veteran for the open seat.
“It certainly seems like an issue that could be ripe for litigation because it’s right on its face discriminating against people for sexual orientation or #transgender status.”
"Just as we march in defense of Black lives and against police brutality in our own country, we now march for Palestinian lives, demanding that our own government stop funding genocide."
Black American voters can be 100% RELIED UPON TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
Which is why, overwhelmingly ,the best strategy to get good things done is to SUPPORT/PRESERVE (not try to influence, you dont have to do that) the Black Vote.
Yes, this IS in contrast to other groups. Adjust accordingly.
