Hundreds of Chicago’s mental health clinicians have signed an open letter to the mayor urging her to remove police from its crisis intervention response. They say police escalate situations & that other US programs w/o armed officers have been successful. ow.ly/K1cn50IyhsS

"Palestinians look on in absolute bewilderment at the Israeli regime’s new self-appointed role as mediator and potential peacemaker. If it was not so tragic, it would be a comedy" - @yarahawari ow.ly/EWxX50ImBbW

The Western campaign to boycott and sanction Russia has effectively demolished almost all the anti-BDS excuses propagated by Israel and its anti-Palestinian apologists meant to thwart Palestinian calls for accountability and justice. @BDSmovement bit.ly/3IjdkJ5

"Morally Consistent: Standing for Palestinian Rights and Against Antisemitism." False accusations of antisemitism remain a major obstacle in building support for policies that end Israel’s occupation and dispossession of the Palestinian people. facebook.com/1149038862/vide…
No US-Russia Proxy War in Ukraine! Both major powers claim to be defenders of small nations and oppressed minorities. But nothing could be further from the truth. youtu.be/lNaMtSxLRrA via @YouTube

With Russia-phobia being the fashion in US politics today, it's perversely amusing watching FL politicians copy a notorious bill that passed the Russian Duma years ago. Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law is eerily reminiscent of Russia's 2013 no LGBTQ "propaganda" to minors law.

Incompetence during a pandemic looks like ⬇️
These are two FedEx Drop Boxes on the Southwest Side, sites where CPS families are expected to leave completed COVID testing kits. Because boxes are overflowing, families are scrambling to find safe and secure places to leave their kits. The deadline for return is today.

Cash bail for people accused of crimes is wealth-based "justice" -- wealthy people bond out, but working class people, disproportionately Black and Brown, are incarcerated because they can't afford bail. Watch GLN's new film against this racist practice. youtu.be/u-feHiN_6y8
