Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

Best member of Congress on Palestine is also the best on Sudan— shocker

People on here don't realize that reading Israeli media on its own terms can radicalize you just as much as anything else against Zionism. The vast majority of quotes I see coming out of Channels 12 and 13 are from security officials whining that Lebanese villagers are allowed to go home.

Dementia Don just posted top secret information on his TS page.

@telliotter.bsky.social is keeping track of the DOGE rats. Many of them have burrowed into key governmental positions.

We just won our trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.   A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.   This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.

the thing that will revive younger people's investment in politics is millennials and zoomers becoming the face of it, it's really that simple.

Proof that there is some humanity in America. #Palestine

WaPo website replaced search with AI and it's going great

Trump ally, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy didn't like Donald's comments about Pope Leo: "I find President Trump's words towards the Holy Father unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and it is right and normal that he calls for peace and condemns all forms of war." 🍿

A lot of people complaining about how Democrats aren't in the majority, and that's all true enough, but there are actually going to be two votes on Wednesday to block weapons and you should in fact press Schumer and Gillibrand (and everyone else) to vote for them.

Today, Israeli forces fired teargas at Palestinian schoolchildren who staged a sit-in in the occupied West Bank after settlers blocked access to their school. It’s the first day of class since the start of the Iran war. This is life for Palestinian children. The world does nothing.

It makes me nostalgic to see politicians retire in the face of sexual assault claims instead of running for President.

just found out this is watercolor and spent like a good five minutes pissed off

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

Truth is, Orbán is just the latest in long list of authoritarians to be defeated by anti-corruption politics. A Democratic landslide is possible if they can credibly take up the anti-corruption mantle. But that can’t happen if voters see them as corrupt and beholden to wealthy donors.

Netanyahu reveals that JD Vance personally “reported to me in detail” on his negotiations with Iran “as the people in this administration do every day”

I think we need to stop the polite description of Israeli ‘Settlers’. They’re a fucking infestation of illegal squatters. Home invaders subsidised and paid for by the Israeli fascist state.

Remember the @pewresearch.org data on the decline in Israel's standing in the US published last week? We asked them for the crosstabs which they graciously shared with us, and we're publishing for the 1st time. Bottom line: total collapse of Israel's standing among young Americans across the board.

Bernie Sanders: “I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.” Go Bernie!

It’s time to call it quits @whitehouse-47.bsky.social Trump is incompetent

BREAKING: 300+ New Yorkers have taken over the offices of Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer demanding no more weapons for Israel. Tell Congress: Fund people, not bombs.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

“The name of Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv, who boasted about destroying homes in Gaza during the war, has turned into a verb: 'To Zarbiv' – to flatten like Gaza. His nomination… to light an Independence Day torch marks Israel's moral collapse” www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Standing in southern Lebanon, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli forces that they had “thwarted” a supposed invasion threat but there is more work to do.

Republican wife beaters. The anger is real.

"The JD Vance two day visit cost Hungarian taxpayers roughly $1.2 billion"

Trump just said that “Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime and terrible for Foreign Policy.” That’s a real quote 🤦🏽‍♂️

due to a rift in the space-time continuum, you can send exactly five words to 2016 CHICAGO POPE NETFLIX HAS ADS

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Glory to the people of Hungary

Eastern European fascist is more open to a peaceful transfer of power than a US President. WOW

Magyar's report of an Orbán concession in English.

This latest profile of Brett McGurk makes clear what I and others were saying since January 2021: the Biden administration thought that the Palestine question no longer mattered whatsoever, and Biden's closest advisor actively dismissed its relevance even after Oct 7th 2023.

Here's the thing: Democrats already know who can win. They know which policies are popular with voters and which candidates are vocally in support of those policies. They're going to throw a billion dollars into trying to prevent those candidates from becoming the nominee.

The arrogance is so extreme in Israeli politics that they’re comfortable saying stuff like that even though the apartheid regime is entirely depend on the US for its survival

Why are we allied with these people?

Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130M citizens. Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By Jan 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030. 1/2

Netanyahu is boasting that Lebanon begged for direct talks following Israeli bombardments Lebanon agreed to recognise Israel in 2002 along with most of the Arab League countries in return of a two-state solution. It was literally agreed in Beirut. Israel said no. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Pe...

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges. /w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social
