It is simply not that hard to hold a Congressional vigil honoring Israelis and Palestinians.

I really wish someone would interview Joe Biden about his work on the British occupation of Northern Ireland and the IRA — and how it shapes his views on Israel-Palestine.

Great column by @perrybaconjr.bsky.social

The Democratic Party has at least four parties within it.

“The progressive organization Justice Democrats has adopted a four-day working week, a policy that has received praise from leading leftwing leaders like Bernie Sanders.” https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/may/16/progressive-organization-justice-democrats-adopts-four-day-work-week

Progressive organization Justice Democrats adopts four-day work weekwww.theguardian.com Exclusive: group that helped elect lawmakers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embraces policy popular with leftwing leaders
