The peach emoji (🍑) has been mistreated.
Far right people use it to spread hatred under the banner of “freeze peach ❄🍑” (free speach).
Horny people use it to convey ungodly things.
It's time to reclaim the emoji. Make it stand for what it was always about: the crunchy peach movement 🍑💥. #CrunchyPeaches
Peaches were never meant to be soft or watery —

Hey, it’s Bernie.
There are a great many crises facing the progressive movement. That’s undeniable.
But one of the great success stories that does not get talked about a whole lot is the number of 🔸extremely energetic young progressives🔸 who are currently in the House of Representatives.
Way back in 1991, when I was first elected to the House alongside people like Maxine Waters, we formed the
🔹Progressive Caucus. 🔹

Helping Blind People Grasp: Evaluating a Tactile Bracelet for Remotely Guiding Grasping Movements
The problem of supporting visually impaired and blind people in meaningful interactions with objects is often neglected. To address this issue, we adapted a tactile belt for enhanced spatial navigation into a bracelet worn on the wrist that allows visually impaired people to grasp target objects. Participants’ performance in locating and grasping target items when guided using the bracelet, which provides direction commands via vibrotactile signals, was compared to their performance when rece…

"Stop being dismissive of radical movements. Stop rolling your eyes at the ostensibly utopian dreams of your anti-capitalist and anti-state friends. It’s far more unrealistic to imagine persuading the US to stop supporting genocide than it is to imagine abolishing every state and taking care of each other without presidents. Find your local anarchist or anti-state Marxist or Indigenous group and see how you can be part of movement work that is committed to liberation from imperialism, colonialism, ecocide. Or, just be a better neighbor; get to know the people on your block, build relationships that will be supportive as we all move into escalating collapse. Stop giving time and money to electoral politics (if you have money to give, get it directly to people who need it, not to red-tape nonprofits). Stop telling those of us who have already walked away from that delusion that we’re making it worse for people (worse for whom? what Palestinian thinks Biden is better than Trump?). Believe that a world without domination is possible, because then you can believe that a world without genocide is possible."

The term Zionism, the movement for the establishment and support of a Jewish state in present-day Palestine, wasn’t even used because that’s all we knew.
Jews had been nearly wiped out by pogroms and repeated holocausts, and a Jewish state was the only way to keep us safe.
Antisemitism wasn’t just a fact of history; we all experienced it in our daily lives.
Zionis…

Zionism cannot produce a just peace. Only external pressure can end the Israeli apartheid.
This article was originally published here in the Washington Post I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived for four years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the Israeli Defense Forces. When that is your world, it’s
