U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for: 700,000 public housing units 500,000 low-income kids receiving health care 500,000 veterans receiving VA care 600,000 kids in Head Start Combined.

Peggy is a healthcare worker and @1199seiu.org member at a dialysis center in Brooklyn. She knows what Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will mean for her patients — and why we need a Mayor who will fight for New Yorkers, not conspire with a President who kicks them off their insurance.

Zohran figuratively beating Cuomo to death with his own shoes when he’s like 20 points ahead is how you establish a Fiorello La Guardia level legacy in New York and everyone in politics should be taking notes.

This is genuinely a big part of my campaign’s structure. I thought about how many clinics could be funded, how many food banks could be stocked with $1 billion. So we’re using our resources to reach voters through back to school drives and park cleanups and our mutual aid work.

Yeah, we're doomed. Humanity was a mistake. Maybe climate change is a good thing after all.

Every gay transphobe is a traitor

🔴 Gaza’s Government Media Office reports famine deaths have climbed to 235 — including 106 children — as Israel’s blockade continues.

This Sunday, we’re hosting a back to school drive in Evanston with 500 free backpacks, all-day free haircuts, and free food by two of the best restaurants in Evanston! Drop by the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center this Sunday afternoon to start the school year with everything you need!

sorry to be a liberal but I’ll always be absolutely confounded by people wanting to reclaim and use the r slur. explain to me how you’re calling another person that and not just using the word as it was originally intended as a pejorative. that’s not reclaiming anything. it’s using a slur????

I can't wait for the Zohran victory election night meltdown in November lmao it's gonna be hilarious to see Zionists and conservatives cry

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians. forward.com/fast-forward...

“We don’t have to agree on everything to be friends” No this is true, but that statement is for things like what foods you like or fashion choices… Not on basic and fundamental rights of marginalised and vulnerable people

Why do you need incentives to pay people a living wage? The fact that you're a billionaire isn't enough? You wouldn't exist if you couldn't exploit thousands of workers in the first place

While international outrage is growing at Palestinian genocide they want to rebrand with a slightly less horrifying version of zionism that still let's them maintain a complete partnership with Israel while showing a little more compassion for the people they're exterminating

Big Joel's new video on Bill Maher completely disproves Contrapoints theory that it would be inappropriate to discuss Israel and Palestine in her trademark style. He flawlessly delivers his typical hilarious dry wit throughout the runtime while bringing awareness to the genocide

i thought this was really brave of kotaku

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

This is exactly right. Also, during the Biden administration, the owners of the tech sector experienced the beginning of meaningful anti-monopoly regulations from the federal government. They went fascist to crack down on worker power and destroy regulations. Classic move!

Trans people and bisexuals outlived every fascist regime that tried to eliminate them. Trump can do book bannings and delete websites but you can't erase queer people from existing because they're a naturally occurring part of the population. Nothing says inherent weakness like the fear of rainbows

So is the LGB alliance just the LG alliance now? Are hate groups ready to admit that there is no safety in trying to seperate and pit oppressed groups against each other? That it's a tactic of fascism?

As long as they're cis it's epic right?

It's not so much that Trump purposefully distracts people's genuinely not that smart and no longer that lucid. He just bullshits. He doesn't know what's happening! The rambling posts and interviews are just him bullshitting because he feels like he has to say something because he saw a fox chyron.

None of your favorite shows/movies/video games have gone "woke", you have zero media literacy and you're just a bad person. It is as fucking simple as that.

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

it’s going to be so funny when he is primaried and loses to someone endorsed by DSA

donald trump picking this guy as ambassador to malaysia just shows that he’s running out of loyalists tbh

my favorite part about self described centrists is that in polls they consistently like bernie sanders more than any other politician even though he’s left wing. they genuinely think beint centrist is all about being anti-establishment and is all vibes

This is what’s possible when you listen instead of lecture and run a campaign focused on working people.

"We've had our primary. And the people have spoken."

The military and ICE doing "presence patrols" in your neighborhoods, the same kind of patrols the military routinely did during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, should scare the shit out of everyone

Everyone should be prepared for the fact that whereas with Iraq, anti-war protesters were smeared as traitorous terror lovers, this time we will also be smeared as bigoted anti-semites.

workers: so like us

Big fan of democracy but we'll have to admit it's an L of historic proportions to get subverted and destroyed not by some strategic genius but by possibly the dumbest man on earth

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

I'm sure Chris Cuomo is used to getting punched in the face often, wouldn't take much to make Fredo cry

These brave young Mexican women are heroines in Texas. Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, both 19 years old, rescued 20 girls trapped by the flooding of the Guadalupe River. The mainstream media isn't covering this, but they need to.

I'm sure Abbott is gonna repay them by having them deported

Gonna be funny when they lose and finally learn that undocumented immigrants can't vote lmfao

"this is what u voted for" false. i didnt vote. im not the problem

Actually, all of your problems are the DIRECT result of someone else being a billionaire.

California is ran by neoliberal corporatists who are beholden to billionaires and large corporations. Yet, when a natural disaster hits there, you don't see any leftist mocking those victims. However with liberals you will always see them mocking people in states like Texas and Mississippi.

the more you learn about ai and the business behind it and truly how horribly ai mega datacenters are for the environment and are destroying the communities they’re in it makes you want to return to living in a cave

Just a reminder: if you’re opposed to fascism and you still use X, then no you aren’t.

As a leftist who lives in the South I always find it disgusting when liberals and some leftists think it is "progressive" to mock the victims of a natural disaster just because they live in a red state. This is also acting like democrats are the good guys lmao

9000 people just got fired from Microsoft while their CEO made $79.1 million dollars last year

When Superman comes out next week just remember that once again the public will be captivated by the story of an illegal alien destroying an evil billionaire's attempt to control the planet
