Trump says “Christians” as he starves 42 million Americans for the fkn rich. To these no real job having exploiters #religion is just another tool for #imperialism and #capitalism. There is no such thing as Jesus Christ in the GOP. That’s clear. In fact I’d postulate it’s the opposite.

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

Lowkey on the lies of Israel and the US. We can't believe anything they say about Gaza.

This happened 6 months before the October 7 Hamas attack. “With children sleeping inside, lsraeli colonial settlers torch a Palestinian-owned house in Sinjil village, north of Ramallah.”

Omg

“The National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the United States, has sent its roughly three million members an email that contains a map of historic Palestine, with no mention of Israel, New York Post reports.” mastodon.neometropolis.net/@QudsNen/115...

This happened over a year before the October 7 Hamas attack. “April 2022 – Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces assault a Palestinian father in front of his child inside Al-Aqsa Mosque. A painful glimpse into the daily brutality Palestinians endure, even in one of the holiest sites on earth.”

Israel’s top officials are openly declaring that they intend to terminate the Gaza ceasefire after they get their hostages back. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israeli-of...

Tends to happen when you know there's no future. "Among adolescents and young adults, the largest increase in deaths over the past decade or so was among those ages 20 to 39 in high-income North America, mainly due to suicide, drug overdose and high quantities of alcohol"

This might be unkind to say, but lit magazines demand "nothing by AI," when the poetry they choose all too often reads like AI hallucinating. Poetry should communicate, not bewilder.

Two poems in the debut issue of LUMINAURA Magazine: "A New Life" luminauramag.com/vol1/poetry/... and "Something New" luminauramag.com/vol1/poetry/... — both on the magazine's theme: "Genesis." The editors did a bang-up job.

My poem, "Dot," has been published in PROSETRICS: THE LITERARY MAGAZINE out of Amsterdam. The theme was "whelve," which means, "to turn (as a dish or vessel) upside down usually to cover something."

Or you could actually be the party of Democrats & embrace the ideas, ideals, & social policies that FDR supported. Ask yourself this; why is Bernie the ONLY Democrat in the last 75+ years to run on "FDR's 2nd"? Look, Dems MUST go left. Chase the votes of indy progressives & Socialists. Win 🏁 🗳️

"fuck-the-couch,fuck-the-couch"

AMERICA WE CANNOT LET THIS SHIT KEEP HAPPENING AND NOT DOING A DAMNED THING! DEMOCRATS ARE A TOTALLY LOST CAUSE AS ARE THE REPUBLICANS!

Yes!

I'm old enough to remember when the lOF crushed 23-year old U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie to death with a bulldozer, then celebrated with pancakes that had her face on them. Not a single U.S. legislator acknowledged Israel's murder of Rachel Corrie, or agreed to meet her parents.

It's stunts like this that have made Americans mistrust the Democrats, even in the face of Republican extremists destroying what little social safety net this country was ever allowed to develop under the horrific influence of American individualism ideology.

Bezos was the worst thing to ever happen to this paper.

The most obvious linguistic contortion is the abuse of the term "antisemitism" to provide protection for Zionism and Israel. Zionism is definitely not Judaism. Zionism is real antisemitism in the pursuit of imperialism and right wing nationalism. Zionists are Nazis.

Amen.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

After 7+ weeks in hospital incarceration, I'm finally going home to see Wystan, who will not give a fig, I suspect. But I'm looking forward to seeing him anyway.

@kjcon.bsky.social thank you for sharing this . Proud and honor to be of of your followers. Let’s make this viral. My awesome friends please let everyone know this one!!!

God forbid, data brokers have their right to snoop on and sell the data of American citizens in any way inhibited.

A short 1-minute speech from @reprashida.govpeeps.us that every American should watch

"...in every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the people." Eugene V. Debs (1918)

I will block every dumb fuck on this platform if I smell boot on their breath until all I see on my feed are people openly calling out the Democratic Party for aligning with Wall Street and Republicans, while fundraising off the fascism

They misspelled bribes

America where the ones who need help the most are the same people who are royally screwed by the people who are supposed to be helping them. This is awful. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

If you work hard in America, maybe you could have the same comfort and quality of of life as a prisoner in Norway

Trump: hold my jet

OKAY, THIS IS THE @democrats.org THE COUNTRY KNOWS:

The DNC cares more about stopping David Hogg than stopping Andrew Cuomo right now. People are finally opening their eyes and seeing this party serves the parasite class, just like the Republicans. It's an irredeemable outfit that will commit genocide and then blame us for losing.
