Current Affairs Associate Editor Alex Skopic joined Matt Lech and @davidgriscom.bsky.social of Left Reckoning to discuss the rise of Javier Milei and how he screwed the economy up so badly he needs a $20 billion bailout.

Empathy just means trying to understand how other people feel, to use the power of our imaginations to see things from their perspective and try to grasp what they might be feeling and why. How could anyone possibly object to this? www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-rig...

Blessed are the unfeeling, for they shall inherit the GOP. Books, sermons, and tweets now warn that “toxic empathy” is destroying civilization. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-rig...

Can anyone see this? If so, can you engage with it? We want to help our friends in 🇵🇸 so much and we have having such a difficult time this round. Please do what you can, this is a great opportunity to help a lot of families at once.

I'm part of an international collective of volunteers raising funds for families in G∆Z∆. This weekend we are running our 5th campaign to benefit 28 families who are experiencing displacement. Help us make this round a success by sharing this post online & with friends & family ❤️‍🔥 spot.fund/lqdksr3sc

Israel often intercepts boats in international waters, where it has no right to stop ships and is committing an act of piracy. But it doesn’t have a right to intercept boats as they enter the waters of the State of Palestine, either. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-blo...

It is hard to think of a cause more unambiguously noble than sending humanitarian aid to desperately needy people. These activists risked their lives to bring Gazans some relief, trying to break Israel’s totally illegitimate blockade. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-blo...

call you representatives, demand they secure the release of the kidnapped flotilla members

Palestinians can’t criticise Israel in the media. Palestinians can’t seek justice via ICC and ICJ. Palestinians can’t physically resist. No criticism. No resistance. No justice. Total surrender. That’s the “peace plan”.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is under attack & being intercepted now by the occupation while in international waters. They are a peaceful, humanitarian aid mission bringing food & supplies to the people of Gaza. Contact your governments & demand they hold the state of israel accountable!

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

We spoke with Tommy Marcus from the Global Sumud Flotilla earlier this week. The next day, the flotilla was attacked by drones. Soon, they will begin the final stretch to Gaza. They will only be protected if the world is watching.

Stop supporting this fucking company

If the Sumud Flotilla reaches Gaza, it would be an undeniable act of solidarity in defiance of genocide, showing clearly who stands with humanity and who stands against it. We spoke with Novara Media contributor Kieran Andrieu earlier this week about what that moment would mean.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Israel wants you to believe you can do nothing while it commits genocide. But that's not the case. From aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, @novaramedia.com contributor Kieran Andrieu tells us why every act of resistance matters.

At a time when much so-called "independent" media is compromised, The Majority Report remains committed to a clear set of progressive moral convictions and is willing to criticize its own side when necessary. That kind of outlet is rare, special, and must be supported.

House, Senate passes 'A Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk:' The Senate on Thursday UNANIMOUSLY approved a resolution marking Oct. 14, 2025, "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk" Wherever the political winds blow you will find Sanders and the rest of fascism's quiet consenters; Senate Dems

A child cries while carrying his younger sister on his shoulders, walking the long displacement route from northern to southern Gaza amid intense Israeli bombardment.

The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.

Well Disney fans couldn’t give it up for a genocide when Disney+ is on the boycott list but could for a white wealthy man getting fired so I’d say they are also probably bigots who don’t care

No, we’re not North Korea. We’re part of an imperial state that has supported a genocide abroad and is ethnically cleansing cities using ICE under the guise of immigration enforcement. The bill says that police supervisors can authorize masks. This bill is dems posturing as resistance to the Trump

Trying to connect with your unhoused neighbors? Here’s supplies we’ve found are always welcome & needed: - socks - bug spray in summer - hand warmers in winter - batteries (AA & AAA always, D or C for fans & radios) - water Pack em in a ziploc, bring a $5 & go meet your neighbors that live outside

In every historical moment, we each face a question: WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? Some people side with the ones in the masks and the riot gear and the tanks. Some people side with the courageous unarmed citizens who face down the state. We know which side we're on. Do you?

I’ve been to a lot of protests and seen a lot of shit and while I’ve seen worse, this was very hard to watch 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Protect trans people. Be even louder in support of them. Tell trans people you love and care about them. Stand up for them in conversations, don't let transphobes control the narrative. Shut them the hell up.

MSNBC - In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help win government contracts in a second Trump administration. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom-...

I keep coming back to this essay by Zinn, "The Optimism of Uncertainty." Especially the second screenshot. www.howardzinn.org/collection/t...

Rolling over and complying in advance is what they want you to do The march of tyranny thrives on it This country was built on genocide This fight is older than us and the stakes have never been less than life and death Don't do their job for them It's okay to be scared But you cant give up

Cannot escape the feeling that people would care more about the nightmare unfolding in Chicagoland if Trump had actually sent the National Guard. People hung all of their ideas about fascist escalation looks like on that. Meanwhile, agents hunt our neighbors and gas protesters here.

I think the Kimmel stuff is quite serious and bad, but taking a rich guy off the air for speech is not as harsh as agents of the state grabbing someone over speech and deporting them without due process, and the latter person is clearly more vulnerable, come on.

please bro just let us sacrifice one more minority. bro please i promise everything will be good bro your material conditions will improve if you let us scapegoat one more minority bro

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

Feel like giving a shout out to my fave indie media sources today just 'cause. • The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder • Current Affairs Magazine • CineMarxism on Twitch • RevLeft Radio • Left Reckoning podcast • The Emerald podcast • PM Press for books and other analog media

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Don't comply in advance. We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to. Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

1000+ civil servants are demanding a continuing resolution that lets us get back to work serving the public. We demand a bill that allows federal workers to fully serve you, or nothing! Federal Workers, add your voice below and at the link in bio! actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Support independent media, now more than ever. Not just news and politics, but film, TV, fashion and other cultural criticism and commentary, from podcasts to apps to good old-fashioned web sites. Pay for it. Turn your adblocker off so they can keep the lights on. Share it.

The reason people despair is because the fascism is here and our individualist culture has deliberately taught us that no one will save us when they come for us. And it's true, there's no superhero. But the secret is that we don't need one.

Most of us are not brave because we've allowed our creature comforts to give us the illusion that we have something to lose by speaking up. The reality is, we have a lot more to lose by staying silent. I just wish I knew how to get the majority of us to see that bigger picture.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
