Spoiler: stop whining and learn to love the genocides.

RootsAction's Emma Claire Foley responds to an article in the establishment security journal Foreign Affairs, which calls for nuclear proliferation among U.S. allies. Its arguments are unsound and understate the willingness of the U.S.’s rivals to respond in kind. ☢️ jacobin.com/2025/11/nucl...

$31 billion to murder civilians on the other side of the globe, while working people at home struggle to pay bills. Time to write your Senator and Reps and let them know you're sick of it. NO MORE WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. rootsaction.org/no-more-weap...

The U.S. government sent an appalling $31 billion of taxpayer dollars to Israel to support their genocide in Gaza. We’re exploring how it could be spent in the United States instead of war. Comment to share your ideas of how to spend billions of taxpayer dollars at home.

Starbucks workers are planning to strike, beginning tomorrow, at locations that are unionized. They need our support to gain a fair contract & a living wage. DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE If you go to non-unionized locations, give your name, to be shouted when your order is ready, as "Unionize Now"

We agree! Sign the petition now urging ineffective @schumer.senate.gov to resign as minority leader in the senate! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te... ✍️📃

In the end, Deciding to Win reads less like analysis and more like self-justification for a faction of donors and consultants eager to blame the left for their own failures, says Sam Rosenthal of @rootsaction.org.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory belongs to everyone working for human rights and social justice. Despite the efforts by billionaires and supporters of Israel’s genocidal policies, this grassroots campaign has won. (1/2)

@indiab.bsky.social from Buffalo is in NYC reminding voters that the polls are open until 9:00pm! Ignore what the polling says, just get out and vote!

A year after Trump won, why won’t the @democrats.org change their playbook ❓ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... The party leadership’s devotion to economic elites continues to evade scrutiny. Read the latest from @normansolomon.bsky.social in @theguardian.com

just going to leave this here

Corporate Democrats and their pricy consultants want you to believe that Medicare For All is an unpopular plan that the Democratic Party should abandon. But voters know this is a lie designed to protect the super wealthy. progressivehub.net/new-report-f...

❓"How many are inspired by @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? The question answers itself" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... - @normansolomon.bsky.social

Federal prosecutors charged 2 protesters with terrorism for constitutionally protected activity. Shots were fired at an ICE protest, but neither is accused of firing the gun. The Trump administration is making good on its threat to treat anti-fascist activity as terrorism.

DID YOU KNOW? The failed economic policies of corporate-aligned Democrats like Bill Clinton pushed working class voters to abandon the Democratic Party and fueled Trump’s faux “populism”. www.salon.com/2025/10/23/h...

The party remains in a debilitating rut, refusing to truly challenge the runaway power of corporate capitalism that has caused ever-widening income inequality. 👉 progressivehub.net/victims-with...

"The massive disconnect between the Democratic Party’s leadership and its base is sure to have ramifications far beyond last year’s election. ...it may risk ceding this policy terrain to the Republican Party well into the future." progressivehub.net/democrats-ha...

NSPM-7 targets individuals and orgs that disagree with Trump, regardless of whether they've violated any laws. This incredible assault on the First Amendment is extremely dangerous. Click to urge your members of Congress to immediately undo the memorandum with actual legislation: bit.ly/undonspm7

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups. History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.

We agree with @rokhanna.bsky.social "It’s time for us to stop supplying Israel with weapons used to kill civilians and recognize a Palestinian state." Sign if you agree: The United States must recognize Palestinian statehood. bit.ly/PalState

⚠️ "...amoral conglomerates control our information and media system... [they] care a lot about profit-maximization and very little about free expression and the right to dissent..." ❓why? ❗"...because of old-fashioned, bipartisan corruption" Jeff Cohen's latest on Progressive Hub: bit.ly/421PfDd

🚨 As the new academic year begins, more than 100 prominent Jewish Americans have signed a statement opposing Trump’s “disingenuous” weaponization of antisemitism to target universities and deport campus activists for exercising their First Amendment rights. 👉 Read the full statement: bit.ly/41Y25SZ

Powerful corporate Democrats are working hard to represent the 7% of Dems who still support Israel.

"Jews and Israel are not the same. Equating them is a propaganda technique." "...Equating Israel with all Jews and Israel’s future with theirs – is an effort to sanctify Israel & shield it from criticism by brandishing the charge of antisemitism." Norman Solomon // The Guardian bit.ly/4mgIrc4

Buttigieg has revived a real problem for his presidential aspirations: the perception that he behaves too much like a political windsock, shifting with strong breezes rather than sticking with conviction. @normansolomon.bsky.social in @thehill.com

"Shocking" (not) news of the day: the US Air Force, after completely mismanaging a massive, unneeded effort to build high-priced, destabilizing, vulnerable land-based, nuclear-armed missiles, is looking to extend the life of the ones they already have until 2050: gulfnews.com/world/americ...

Third Way?? No way! The Dem Party is very much at a crossroads: they can either embrace a new standard of meeting the needs of working people or they can continue the status quo, taking cues from the donor & consultant class that got us in this situation. Sam Rosenthal in Progressive Hub:

Activists were outside the Vandenberg Air Force Base last night to protest to the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. A stunt to demonstrate the US's nuclear arsenal. ELIMINATE ICBMS!! NO NUCLEAR BOMBS! Learn more here: defusenuclearwar.org/eliminate-ic...

When people asks, where are the student protestors? They’re still out there protesting, but this is what your democratic politicians are doing to them. The Democrat’s response to these kids protesting is exactly what they will do to you.

If President Trump and Elon Musk want to cut federal waste, they should start with nuclear weapons, argues @ryanblack.bsky.social in Progressive Hub: progressivehub.net/trump-and-do...

I wrote an article about a great way DOGE could save money.... eliminate ICBMs

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years
