I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
Breaking: An Israeli airstrike just killed Adam Yahya Abu Harbid, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel, along with all members of his family, after targeting their tent in Al-Yarmouk market in Gaza City.
Boy those are gonna be some hot beers
Hulk Hogan was a great American icon. One of the first people I ever truly admired as a kid. The last time I saw him we promised we’d get beers together next time we saw each other. The next time will have to be on the other side, my friend! Rest in peace.
The hottest place in hell for anyone who remains silent or makes excuses for this barbarity. May not only Israel but the morally bankrupt pundit/political class also become a pariah.
!!!!! Israel is flying quadcopters into the tents of starving Palestinians and shooting pregnant women and women breastfeeding their children. This is what the US and Europe have enabled by granting Israel complete impunity.
They're just snatching up journalists for their coverage now
Snatching a US Immigration Journalist consortiumnews.com/2025/07/23/sna… The Committee to Protect Journalists calls Mario Guevara — now in chaotic ICE captivity — the only journalist imprisoned in the U.S. in direct retaliation for his reporting.
It’s time to make polluters pay After deadly flooding in New Jersey, Senators @JohnFMcKeon, @D17Senator & @RajMukherji joined advocates to call for the passage of the Climate Superfund Act, holding fossil fuel companies accountable & improving climate resiliency across the state
Storms have battered Plainfield and surrounding towns over the last few months. From flooding in North Jersey, to powerful and deadly thunderstorms in Central Jersey, and tornadoes in South Jersey, we are seeing what happens when we allow polluters to write our environmental…
I’m seeing people from Gaza offering to sell their kidneys for food. They’re writing about babies eating cardboard instead of bread. And in the country that could end this horror with a phone call, the media is focused on an Arabic word that a possible future mayor never said.
RECOGNIZE NOW! More than a month since we went public, Carnegie management has continued to drag their feet, and we still have no answer about whether they will do the right thing and voluntarily recognize us. @CarnegieEndow @danbbaer @AlisonMarkovitz @NonprofitUnion @IFPTE
Is it scabbing to put the trash *in* the Waymos?
This city is a National Treasure. It’s a city of love, where eagles fly with a gritty spirit and cheese that spreads and cheese that steaks. Our road trip continues to Philly next. waymo.com/blog/2023/11/r…
Last year, while NJ legislators went on recess, 49-year-old Richard Quishpe died pouring concrete in the heat. No shade. No water. No protections. Contact your representative TODAY. It’s time to protect workers NOW! secure.everyaction.com/XwAL_L9hb0Gut_… nj.com/morris/2025/06…
Funniest pro-Cuomo talking point by far was that Zohran has "no executive experience." Yeah that's pretty normal for mayors actually. Running for mayor as a disgraced former state governor who hates the city is what's actually kinda strange
Hang it in the louvre!
Cuomo slips out the back without taking questions…
nyc swung right in the presidential election but just nominated a Muslim socialist for mayor. this country isn't getting more rightwing, people are just fed up with cowards who don't stand for anything or care about making anyone's life better

Friday, June 13, 2025 Newark, NJ On May 1, GEO Group, a private prison profiteer, illegally opened Delaney Hall in Newark’s toxic chemical corridor. In the short time since, the facility has seen horribly overcrowded conditions, rotten food and
WE DEMAND THAT EVERYONE INSIDE DELANEY HALL BE FREED IMMEDIATELY TO THEIR COMMUNITIES, NOT TRANSFERRED TO DISTANT TORTURE CAMPS!
"No recording on the premises" it was a PRESS CONFERENCE. He was dragged out of a room FULL of cameras. They don't want you to see this. They want to hide this from the public because they know it's wrong. This is despicable, it's what we expect in dictatorships not in America.
A US Senator. Donald Trump’s America.
Nothing but solidarity to the train engineers who drive hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans to work every day. ✊
450 train engineers at NJ Transit walked off the job overnight after years of fruitless negotiations with their employer. “It gives me great joy taking my commuters to and from work every day. We didn’t want to get to this point, but we’re here.” labornotes.org/2025/05/strike…
At around 1pm today, my colleagues @RepLaMonica @RepMenendez and I arrived at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark to exercise our oversight authority as Members of Congress. Contrary to a press statement put out by DHS we did not “storm” the detention center. The…
