The more of them win, the faster this will become the only viable option for candidates. It's why I despise "lesser-evil-genocide-can't-be-a-red-line" voters and hold them solely responsible for the hell we're in. They fucked us.

DHS says the ICE officer who shoved the woman in New York yesterday has been relieved of his duties and his conduct unacceptable. Bit surprised as I’ve seen a lot of not too dissimilar videos of ice actions DHS has stood by.

Sept 22 - Italian labor shuts down the country for Palestine Sept 25 - hard right Italian PM makes concessions at the UN

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Dude absolutely nails it. For all of us who are critical of our own side, it's annoying as fuck to hear people who project their hypocrisy onto you for no reason lol. Nah man, some of us genuinely believe things instead of just crushing our enemies and forcing people to like us, wild right?

Can't stop thinking about the Anthony Fantano-ass ICE agent who dropped his gun and then pointed it at bystanders. Really replicating the Nazis' oaf-little weiner dichotomy

Again. This started... ...with Jenny McCarthy, Oprah Winfrey, and the U.S. white conservative Christian warrior mommy movement.

Please take a moment to read and share Alyssum's request.

A disaster that Starmer insists on ignoring the mountain of empirical evidence from across "Western" democracies that adopting rightwing positions and frameworks only ever helps the Right win legitimacy and votes. An utter disaster that so many Democrats in the U.S. insist on doing Starmerism.

Miss Bea is one of Black Trans Sky's most consistent advocates, and if you could support her during this difficult time I would be very grateful.

Happy Halloween

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

This is an extremely Ken interview.

Ezra Klein baldly called Luigi Mangione’s alleged crime left wing violence on The Bulwark podcast. That Atlantic story the other day talking about a rise in left wing violence did the same. I’m genuinely confused by this. Mangione’s politics seemed to me incoherent to say the least.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning. Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off. A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

A Israeli academic asked his followers on X which sanction would really convince ordinary Israelis that they are isolated internationally. "Expulsion from football tournaments" was the most popular answer, followed by "ending visa-free travel to Europe"

The same academic believes that expulsion from UEFA would trigger a noticeable drop support for the government. I think that's def possible, although not certain. Sanctions sometimes backfire and galvanise support for the government, but I can't see it happening in Netanyahu's case.

New: A wave of diplomats walkout in protest of Netanyahu’s speech at the UN

EXCLUSIVE TO GRUMPY NEWS! Former 🇫🇷 president Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to sleep standing up during his stay in prison. "If I were to hold my head high while lying horizontally, I would get a very painful crick in [my] neck," he explained to our correspondent. "My plan is to prop myself in a corner."

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

It’s incredible how right wing politics produces this overwhelming libidinal investment in the baristas at one chain outlet

the world is healing

feel like it’s time for this to circulate again

i hope people see this recent microsoft news as proof of BDS' effectiveness; especially in regard to raising publicity and encouraging action from microsoft employees and it inspires more people to join in keeping the pressure on these unrepentantly imperialist tech companies

Every once in a while I remember that Donald Trump might be in jail now if Jack Smith had filed the documents case in Washington, DC instead of Miami and have a hearty chuckle to myself.

What exactly does collaboration between first class citizen and the second class and stateless look like?

Sigh.

Writing “Israel's entertainment industry is a vibrant hub of collaboration between Jewish and Palestinian” without an inkling of self awareness apparently.

from the sole Palestinian-American in Biden admin who resigned in protest in Jan 2024. he didn't work in foreign policy (was a political appointee in dept of education) so I guess it was nice of Jon Finer to reach out to him personally with obscene lies justifying Israel bombing Gaza's hospitals.

Jon Finer and Phil Gordon, both of whom served as senior members under the Biden administration's foreign policy team, now claim that they're in favor of conditioning and even suspending military assistance to Israel altogether.

It is absolutely not the workers’ job to do this, but I do kinda wish one of the other customers had asked what specific views Kirk spoke up for before getting his neck exploded bsky.app/profile/jane...

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

Our national nightmare is over! Finally, after a long, terrifying, unjust seven years (2017-2024), white men (~29% of the population) are back to being a majority of new directors at S&P 500 companies. Ah, it's so nice to allocate power, wealth, leadership, and opportunity based on "merit." 🎩🧐

these Starbucks contras are such fucking demons. every Starbucks employee should be issued a sidearm. (face reveal in part two is really funny)

breast pocket is too close to the armhole

ICE capades: the roundup 1️⃣ Video footage shows DHS lied about ICE shooting in Chicago ICE officer said his injuries were 'nothing major', video denies DHS reports Silverio Villegas González "tried to ram officers with his car." LATEST for PWS www.piratewireservices.com/p/ice-capade...

i know this wet bitch is name searching again lmfao

Fascists inadvertently end up killing tiktok in the US by transforming it into a propaganda mill for Israel and pedocon freaks.

fuck Kamala Harris. Fuck that ghoul. I set aside so much of myself, paused my values and beliefs on the thinnest of promises that she would be able to make something positive. Not only did she choose failure, her cult mocks me for “disloyalty” Politicians are supposed to be loyal to *us*

The AI bubble can’t pop soon enough.

Every journalist in the country incapable of drawing any lines between Story 1: government making a compulsory national database of all your private information and Story 2: hackers holding people to ransom over pictures of their kids at nursery

Thank you for sharing our lawsuit, Kyle. ICE took one CASA member on his way to a life-saving dialysis appointment, one mile from the hospital. They ignored his U.S. driver’s license and left him without critical treatment that day, putting his health in immediate danger.

Some incredible takes on Threads like this one which seems to say protesting Kamala Harris, the former Vice President of the United States under Joe Biden, is demanding a form of labor from her

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians. It happened in Europe during the Holocaust. It's happening in Gaza. It's underway at ICE facilities around the US. And if we don't stop it, one day it could happen to you. Dehumanization paves the way for ethnic cleansing. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

Head of the DNC is convinced that the only issue they’re facing is their messaging. Incredible stuff. We will only get to where we need to going when people learn to let these people go as holding any legitimacy. We need a revolution, and that includes from within.

Neoliberalism cannot counter fascism because admitting the scale of the damage and the threat posed would require dismantling their own power and structures of control it would also require a fundamental systems level change to capitalism which is seen as tantamount to treason to neoliberalism.
