The legend, arguably the most unique voice in music history, whose voice and styling still brings chills

There is no justification, period, for this attack or any of the IDF daily killings of Palestinians in Gaza since the alleged "cease fire." Nor was their justification for all the bombings of apartment buildings that killed scores of families just to target one lone Hamas fighter
Lead editorial in Haaretz : ‘More than a year after the cease-fire began, given that Hamas has withheld fire and isn't attacking Israeli soldiers, and that the hospital didn't pose an immediate threat, it's far from clear what military benefit could justify attacking a hospital and killing medical staff and patients. And after hitting the hospital, the army continued attacking Gaza, killing another four people’

"The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity." And "concrete action,"
aka, accountability. It won't come from the current still in place government in Israel, the U.S. Congress must, the responsibility is on you
We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.

Well done New York! Memo to national Democrats: You should pass this nationally, it would be a major step to bring down grocery prices
BREAKING: The New York City Council just approved a ban on surveillance pricing.
The measure passed 44-5, and Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the bill.
Companies will no longer be able to charge different prices based on algorithms or New Yorkers’ personal data.

It was when the U.S. bombed a hospital in North Vietnam, it is an international war crime everywhere. Just some countries seem to have an exemption from international law
When a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, it's a war crime.
When a missile hits a hospital in Gaza, it's self-defense.
When a missile hits a hospital in Lebanon, it's security threat.
When a missile hits a hospital in Iran, it's pre-emptive strike.
Bombing a hospital is a war crime everywhere.

How much more incentive do the incoming Democratic majority need to end all arms sales to Israel? When will even the "pro-Israel" crowd stop justifying the violation of international and U.S. law for complicity with war crimes exemplified by this behavior
Note; The IDF “stands by.” What foreign government funds and arms the Israeli government and is thus complicit in this brutal ethnic cleansing campaign? The U.S. Long past time to shut off that spigot
Just returned from West Bank. It is the worse Israeli violence against Palestinians that I’ve seen in 31 years. Settlers acting with vicious impunity while the @IDF stands by or protects the settlers. This level of violence, total erasures of Palestinian communities can’t go on
Very well said, he's going to be a great, national voice in the Senate
تغيير تاريخي في أمريكا
📹 عبد الرحمن السيد: لا أريد الانتقاص من مكانة السيناتور تشاك شومر، لكنني أعتقد أن هذه اللحظة تتطلب نوعاً مختلفاً من القيادة...
نحن لم نحصل بعد على التفويض الشعبي الذي نستحقه، وهذا يتوقف على ما سنفعله في المرحلة المقبلة. فإذا كان ما سنفعله تالياً يشبه إلى حد كبير ما فعلناه في الماضي، فأعتقد أننا قد لا نكون على مستوى هذه اللحظة ومتطلباتها.
وأود أن أرى قيادة تمتلك الاستعداد للتحرك بطريقة مختلفة، وتكون قادرة على مواكبة متطلبات هذه المرحلة.
يسعى جيل جديد من الديمقراطيين الشباب إلى إنهاء هيمنة الحرس القديم داخل الحزب، الذي يرون أنه لم يعد يقدم بديلاً سياسياً واضحاً عن الجمهوريين، وأن الفجوة بين الطرفين باتت محدودة في كثير من القضايا. إنهم يطالبون بتجديد القيادة، وتغيير النهج التقليدي، والابتعاد عن سياسات المؤسسة الحزبية التي يعتقدون أنها فقدت صلتها بتطلعات الأجيال الجديدة. فالمعركة داخل الحزب الديمقراطي لم تعد فقط حول مواجهة الجمهوريين
هوية جديدة قد تساهم في تغيير عميق في بنية السلطة الأمريكية ودور الولايات المتحدة على الساحة الدولية.

Finally, it's done. The first Black Senator since Reconstruction has been elected in Mississippi. Blanche Bruce, elected in 1874, served until 1881. Only took 152 years to overcome Jim Crow and voter suppression. Three cheers for @scott_colom!
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo
How in the world have the election gurus not called this race yet? How has Hyde-Smith not conceded?
Mississippi U.S. Senate: 807 Hinds County affidavit votes
🔵 Colom: +703 (87.1%)
🔴 Hyde-Smith: +96 (11.9%)
⚪ Pinkins: +8 (1.0%)
Updated statewide totals:
🔵 Colom: 471,354
🔴 Hyde-Smith: 467,401
Colom nets 607 votes, expanding his lead to 3,953 votes (about 0.41 points).

That's how you respond to the will of the voters
WOW: On the first day of bill filing for the new TX Legislature, Democrats introduced bills to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, end data center tax breaks, ban Flock cameras, legalize marijuana, and repeal ICE partnerships for sheriffs.
Taking Texas by the horns.

Murder of Palestinians is always the default preference of the IDF and its political leadership in Israel. They will just shoot to kill on the pretext that a child "intends" to throw a stone at a soldier. Status quo behavior for a genocidal policy

The irony of @scott_colom winning votes from Jefferson Davis County after also winning votes in Forest County, MS named for the racist ex-Civil War general and first KKK Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest is especially enjoyable
This war crime alone deserves Hegseth's impeachment
Massie: Reported death tolls from the strikes on the elementary school indicate that at least 156 civilians were killed, with some reports suggesting the civilian death toll surpassed 170.
Those killed include at least 120 school children, 26 teachers, seven parents attempting to evacuate their children, a school bus driver, a pharmacy technician from a nearby clinic, and the six month old unborn child of one of the teachers also killed in the attack.

Among all the big California-based hospital chains, Sutter is high on the list of most hostile to its caregivers - the ones who protect and heal Sutter's patients. And Sutter nurses are proven fighters!
Nurses at Eden Medical Center & Sutter Roseville are kicking off a week of info pickets across 12 northern California Sutter facilities!
Nurses are asking for patient care improvements and all we've been met with are Sutter's stall tactics. Can you hear us now, @SutterHealth? 📣

As the sage Nina Simone best put it - "Mississippi Goddam." And as Sam Cooke put it, "A Change Is Gonna Come."
New: there are cop cars outside of the Hinds County Courthouse where voters are coming to fix issues with their ballots before the Tuesday deadline. Local organizers are calling on the police to leave: “police presence must go”

Whoever finally succeeds the anti-public health conspiracy monger @RobertKennedyJr will have a full agenda for restoration of a sane public health policy. How many people will die or be otherwise harmed to satiate his insanity until then? How will the incoming Dems rein him in?
The CDC has now recorded 5,182 measles cases in the U.S. in 2026 — the highest number of cases since 1991. wapo.st/4iwjZVy
Trump's promotion of rabid white supremacist @StephenM signals an intensification of the racist ICE terror campaign that is a direct repudiation of the will of the voters emphatically expressed Tuesday. Democrats must take it on, and we all must resist. #AbolishICE
ICE took an 8-year-old Haitian boy into custody after calling him in for a check-in Wednesday, sparking outrage among San Diego Unified School District leaders, who said Friday they were unsure where the child was being held. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i…

The final pre-election ad posted by @scott_colom - so powerful, so looking forward for the country to see him be the next Mississippi Senator! Never forget this history.
Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.
