Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

Hochul Approved Permits That Could Help Clients of Her Husband’s Firm
Opponents of a natural gas pipeline approved by Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York noted that the project would benefit a client of the prominent law firm where her husband works.

My friend Chris Smalls was the only black man among the 20 activists on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social. He also appears to be the only passenger violently assaulted by Israeli forces after those on the boat were abducted before they could deliver life-saving aid to starving children in Gaza.

I used a predictive model to conclude the actual death toll in Gaza is way higher than the media is reporting. As of July 21, Israel had killed ~434,000 people, or 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population. Equivalent to 70M people dead in the US. stevendonziger.substack.com/p/shock-isra...

The US Supreme Court is being devoured by a monster of its own creation. After the Court granted the President immunity, Trump is now openly mocking a 9-0 decision that a man mistakenly abducted into a gulag in El Salvador be brought home. The rule of law is dying because our high court is failing.
