.@realDonaldTrump is a scab and a billionaire and that's who he represents.

We know which side we're on.

Not his.

We need a real plan to fight fascism and authoritarianism. Talking about what the unconscionable decision of the Court means at the moment is not enough, it’s time to strategize and make a plan. People are scared and they need to hear a plan of action from the President and Democrats.

The Nazis rose to power legally. Every mechanism they used to take complete control was within the laws of the Weimar Republic. Once they got total power they didn’t give it up until millions were dead at their hands and parts of Germany were flattened.

Capitalism will never solve homelessness.

This is just cartoonishly evil

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just ruled 6-3 that it is legal to criminalize homelessness.

The Court sided with an Oregon town that made it illegal to camp in public, overturning a decades long precedent that says criminalizing homelessness is cruel and unusual punishment.

PALESTINIANS IN GAZA ALREADY TRIED THIS! They held peaceful marches to the Israeli fence on the “border” and the IDF responded by FIRING LIVE AMMUNITION AT THEM! They shot THOUSANDS of Palestinians! THIS WAS LIKE FOUR YEARS AGO! https://t.co/1ZCNJkAoqs

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

Two million civilians are trapped in Gaza with no way out. A government funded by the US and backed near-unanimously by US politicians is announcing its intention to violate the Geneva conventions. To focus on Hamas atrocities outside this context is morally unserious.

the fact that one side has the power to completely cut off electricity, food, fuel to the other is exactly the problem

We expect to see the results in 24 hours.

Here's @UAW president Shawn Fain on why 150,000 autoworkers could go on strike.
