Happy paperback release day to me, and to the woman who fought fascism through her activism and creativity for her entire adult life. Lots of tv and glass ceiling "firsts" with this one. #booksky #nonfiction #history #tv #film #robinhood #activism #coldwar #redscare www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h-1...

America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared

Just a reminder, shouting non-nuanced pronouncements from a nation whose majority is just as anti-Semitic as any other doesn’t make you qualified as a Middle East expert, but it does help make the world unsafe for Jews. Try asking the people who define the terms. 🙄 humanrights.gov.au/about/news/m...

But yes, basically, there are tunnels underneath almost all of Gaza, with civilian needs on top of warmongering Hamas using them as cover. It's not just a threat to Israel, and it's not just something Israel "made up." www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/ha...

Don't put words in my mouth. If you have not visited the region and have not studied it more than superficial baloney on social media, don't get mad when you are challenged. Don't deny yourself an education. It's easy to talk to people. No one is happy with the situation.
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
I'm listening....
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
I'm not sure what you mean by "thanks for working." But back to the point: what do you suggest doing besides pushing to overturn this regime? Creating awareness about paid leave, sick days, paid holidays, the labor movement, and safety in the workplace laws seems like a good idea, no?
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
It is disingenuous to ignore the fact that Hamas has stolen billions of dollars in aid for decades. We have, in fact, sent a lot of money to build civilian infrastructure in Gaza, which has been stolen. Not taking a side here, I’m just suggesting 70+ years can’t be summarized with skeets
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
No. We do not.
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
Meant to add…it’s not even open for debate. Hamas admits it, and 70+ years of documentation proves it. However one thinks about the current situation there (which is appalling) it is absolutely true that Hamas has built all its weapons of war and tunnels under civvy structures.
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
Oh no!
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
There’s plenty of proof of that.
Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent

Julia Bricklin (@juliabricklin.com) reply parent
I stand by my word analysis. Doesn’t matter. It’s the best we have right now…or at least, before this current regime. Democrats were asleep at the wheel when Citizens United passed. But if we want to make things better, we have to be visible and get people to understand all they are losing.

Wrong use of platitude, but if you’re saying we should not highlight the fact that a democratic society fights for labor, you’ve lost the plot. No, it isn’t perfect by a long stretch. No, it won’t get better under the current regime. Low-info people need to know this.

Okay. This answers my question about Rudy having enough money to pay a "spokesperson."

Why the f*ck does Rudy Giuliani have a "spokesperson?" Does he have money for this "spokesperson?" Why is he even outside? Everything should go to the pollworkers.

This is obviously a compilation of third-person assessments and I have not had time to read it, but it was recommended by a good friend who was a prof. at U of H. It's chapter on Hawai'i is supposed to be excellent. Check sources, might be some good first-hands sources?

Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true. Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

The fact that all major news sources in the United States have daily lead stories like "Experts weigh in on the most delicious ice cream" and not "Democracy is dead" is one of the greatest derelictions in duty in the history of the country.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
