@jamesetta_w One is the president and one is not an elected official… like cmon man

So this is what electing a democratic socialist mayor can get you: corporations issuing groveling apologies for underpaying their workers

[Luke Thomas Gets Political (LTGP) @LTGetsPolitical]

Yeah, but Hasan Piker.

[Madeline Summerville @MaddiesHotTake]

Hi, I’m Madeline -

I’m a Jew.

I was literally in the studio with @hasanthehun the same day he made the comments everyone is upset about.

Let me be very clear: Hasan got clipped out of context.

These people are full of sh*t.

Hasan was literally advocating for the OPPOSITE of violence against us, as he always has.

He said the exact same thing about how the conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-semitism causes Jewish people - like myself - to become targets. Ezra Klein said the exact same thing previously, and nobody batted an eye.

I spent a full hour with him that same day. Anybody wanna check how his behavior was with me? A whole Jewish lady? I’m sitting right there next to him. Care to see what we talked about and how we talked about it?

I’ll give you a hint: non-violence, deradicalizing people, advocating for the humanity in every single person - Jewish and Palestinian alike.

Please, my Jewish brothers and sisters - moms and dads and bubbies and zaydes - please hear me:

They’re trying to trick us. They’re playing with our emotions and steering us away from the truth so we will abandon our principles and join the other side.

I’m begging you - don’t let them make you abandon what you believe in.

And don’t take my word for it — Please — look for yourself to see who is actually on our side and wants to protect us. Look and you’ll see who is actually speaking the truth.

Chesed v emet - kindness and truth. Please don’t abandon the values our people have carried because you’ve been convinced of something that isn’t even true.

Please.

@shannonrwatts @mayatcontreras Girl they ran on these platforms and they won. You can walk and chew gum right? The Palestine issue has almost single-handedly united the left and given it the credibility of being morally just. It is a core part of our platform. Is it that hard to understand?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

in accordance with Pride month, Iran will shut down all straits

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

he's detransitioning

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Hāhona Ormsby, a New Zealand citizen and Gaza flotilla activist, said an Israeli soldier detaining him told him: “I’m a crazy MF. I’m going to hurt you every minute you’re with me.”

Over roughly two hours, he said the soldier largely kept that promise: punching him repeatedly, knocking him unconscious, and running his head into a wall during a strip search.

Ormsby said the soldier approached him naked with a taser, stating he would taser his genitals. A second man, not in uniform, intervened, before the soldier struck him in the genitals instead.

Ormsby said he was urinating blood that night. He also described having his cable-tied hands placed over a chair while the soldier punched him in the stomach and kneed him in the back, aggravating a prior spinal fusion injury.

To understand the stakes of the progressive vs. centrist fight to control the Democratic Party, just compare Zohran's term so far with Spanberger's.

Zohran:
- Free childcare for 2-year-olds
- Banned junk fees
- Filled 100,000 potholes
- New bike and bus lanes across the city
- Wealth tax on luxury second homes
- Millions of dollars won for tenants and thousands of apartments repaired

Spanberger:
- Vetoed bill to let public workers unionize
- Vetoed bill allowing class-action lawsuits
- Vetoed bill to stop warrantless arrests by ICE
- Vetoed bill legalizing cannabis sales
- Vetoed bill to lower prescription drug prices

Trump was defeated in 2020, only to return in an even more dangerous form four years later. So we already know that it is not enough to beat MAGA once at the ballot box.

If Dems don't pair their next electoral victory with Mamdani's commitment to positively improving people’s lives, rather than Spanberger's model of selling out to corporations, we are going to be right back in the maws of fascism one election later. And this time, we might not be facing an authoritarian as incompetent and self-defeating as Trump has been.

Massachusetts is now the first state to certify a rideshare driver union after granting Lyft and Uber drivers' collective bargaining rights.

This is the largest new private-sector union in over 85 years.

70,000 workers are now represented by the App Drivers Union.

Taking medical supplies to pediatric hospitals in Cuba is now a crime? Saving the lives of babies is a crime? This administration is beyond grotesque.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🎞️ 🇨🇺 A satirical animated short from Cuban media collective Aguaje Films mocks what it portrays as the modern U.S. regime-change playbook: cutting off fuel through sanctions, allowing blackouts and civilian suffering to deepen public anger, then reentering with “humanitarian aid,” a pretext for intervention, and ultimately military action carried out in the name of “democracy.”

The film features Secretary of State Marco Rubio, widely viewed as the leading advocate inside the White House for the maximum pressure campaign against Cuba.

massie's defeat proves that the republican party is a pro epstein pro israel cult led by their cult leader, epstein affiliate, servant of israel - donald trump.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv
