We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.

15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care

20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for

0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

We obviously need to deal with the moral decay that allowed this to happen, but we also need to figure out how we continue to live next to people that largely don’t care that things like this happen because of the skin color of the victims.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Desi representation is horrendous, even among marginalized groups, so to have one of us do such good work in telling our stories with Master of None, only to turn around and be a creep, it feels like an extra personal betrayal

If there are zero Aziz Ansari haters left on this earth, it's because I am dead

It felt like Aziz Nasari was mostly free of his MeToo rep but then he does Riyadh it's so funny it's like he got used to be being cancelled and couldn't live without it like Brooks on the outside in Shawshank Redemption lol

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
