As you enjoy your Thanksgiving this year, take a moment to reflect on those Palestinians who are suffering at the hands of a ruthless Israeli government. I am thankful to organizations like INARA, but it's not enough. Stop the bombing!

America, you voted for a criminal for President. What's the matter with you?

Sean "Diddy" Combs - cut out of the same cloth as Harvery Weinstein. Just like the movie mogul before him, Combs, as music mogul, has abused his power to sexually abuse and exploit those trying to make it in the industry. May Combs (and those who helped him do his dirty work) meet the same fate and be locked away forever.

Sean "Diddy" Combs branded "the new Jeffrey Epstein" as allegations of sexual violence have begun to pile up against the jailed hip-hop mogul

Have you ever wondered about where Trump's mindset originated? Roy Cohn was chief counsel to Senator Joe McCarthy in the 1950s. Together they devised Mcarthyism wherein there was political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and a campaign spreading a fear of communism. In fact, communism was never a threat in the U.S. Currently, we have Trump and his followers who are trying to spread fear of immigrants. Likewise, immigrants offer no more threat to the U.S. than the average citizen. That is to say, the fear is unfounded. McCarthy eventually had to leave politics in disgrace. A generation later and the unrepentant political hitman Cohn taught Trump how to flout the rules and go in for the kill. Trump too will meet his demise... better sooner than later.... for all of our sakes.

Kamala Harris' Personal and Political Journey

Joe & Kamala - We love you both!

The Democrats had it right then as they do now. On July 27, 1936, in his speech, FDR laid out his understanding of what “freedom” and “tyranny” meant in an industrial democracy when he spoke of "Economic Royalists." The more things change, the more they remain the same. There is power in numbers. Vote in November for the party that represents you.

Trump Phrenology by John Mavroudis

When Trump is asked why he didn't testify, he launches into a rambling xenophobic rant that included talk of immigrants saying, "They speak languages we don't even know about."

Trump likens himself to Hitler. On Monday, on Truth Social, he posted imagined newspaper articles reporting a “landslide” Trump 2024 election win. One referred to “the creation of a unified Reich” under the headline of “What’s Next For America?”

Supreme Court Justice Alito - Showed he sided with 'Stop the Steal' insurrectionists with upside down flag flown outside his house. Showing political bias is a no-no for a Supreme Court Justice.

From CNN: House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R - Texas) said Speaker Johnson showed true leadership. “Johnson said, ‘I want to be on the right side of history.’ This is a real profile in courage.” McCaul drew analogies between the US posture toward Putin and Britain’s appeasement of Nazi Germany under one prime minister (Chamberlain) and the stalwart resistance of his successor (Churchill). “As we deliberate on this vote, you have to ask yourself this question: Am I Chamberlain or Churchill?” he said. The accidental speaker (Johnson) became an unlikely Churchill.

NPR (National Public Radio) reports that the International Court of Justice has found it "plausible" that Israel has committed genocide.

The International Court of Justice has found it is "plausible" that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. In a provisional order delivered by the court's president, Joan Donoghue, the court said Israel must ensure "with immediate effect" that its forces not commit any of the acts prohibited by the convention. Donoghue said the court cannot make a final determination right now on whether Israel is guilty of genocide. But she said that given the deteriorating situation in Gaza, the court has jurisdiction to order measures to protect Gaza's population from further risk of genocide.
