On Inauguration Day, January 20th, people from across the country will come together in Washington, D.C., to demand a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite. With voices raised for workers’ rights, immigrant rights, and environmental justice, we will call for an end to the genocide in Gaza, the U.S. war machine, and the rule of billionaires.

Graylan Hagler • Artists Against Apartheid • Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress • Chris Smalls • Rowan Blanchard • CODEPINK • Damayan • Diaspora Pa’lante Collective • IFCO/Pastors for Peace • Los Angeles Tenents Union • Nodutdol • Palestinian Feminist Collective • Union de Vecinos

But the context of that of which is motion around me is informed by all the distance traveled between yesterday and a future that is not imagined or realized.

I may not be Johnny Knoxville

But I'm standing at the precipice of a crossroads of a country where the ambitions we have with regards to the kinds of things we can reflect on with pride specifically in terms of that which allow dreams of one day to become the tomorrow of the next day.

But I was assigned a husband on David Geffen's yacht in a cash and stock deal administered by the California Democratic Party and Paramount Global LLC.

proposes a term limit reform amendment which introduces term limits on a wide array of federal positions (e.g. representatives, senators, Supreme Court justices). However, the amendment discounts all terms before its enactment, so that Trump would be allowed to run for two more terms.

Enough Democratic politicians (perhaps partially motivated by their own career prospects) begrudgingly agree that term limit reform is needed, enough to ratify this amendment before the 2028 election.

If you're trying to escape red states, we can probably help with a couch to crash on or a hot meal.

If you're queer and considering buying firearms, we will help you train.

Things are going to be dark.

Could not find a chart with the breakdown "of them children" for Palestine on Statista.

Experts believe the real death toll in Gaza is at least ~4.4x what this shows, so IOF is more accurately ~40 times worse.

Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

Using this estimate, the civilian deaths per day average is 497.33 in Gaza.

The UN agency said it verified the details of 8,119 people killed in Gaza from November 2023 to April 2024.

Its analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.

About 80% of victims were killed in residential buildings or similar housing, the agency added.

It's still pretty early in the genocide but the damage is easily visible
