It will be very difficult to address any of this with Netanyahu still in office.

Jack showing off his scary looking teefies. Grrrrrr!

Apricot toy poodle with his front feet on the arm of a brown couch. His head is back and his crooked teeth are on display as if he is laughing.

The revolutionary #BlackPantherParty was founded by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton in Oakland, California on the 15 October 1966. Originally founded to fight police racism, it also organised against poverty, hunger & capitalism.

After the storm. Sunset over San Francisco Bay.

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires.
Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back!

Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

The headline does not give a clue that this is important reading for Jewish Americans. Some of us have been warning about Christian Zionists for years: this sort of development answers the question "What can go wrong?"
