Kiros: At the end of the day, the reason why we are not seeing legislation like Medicare for All, universal child care, and an arms embargo on Israel passed—despite a supermajority of support from the voters of this party—is because when corporations and special interests donate to campaigns, it’s not that they’re going to get an immediate return with legislation that is favored for them. Sometimes the return they get is stalling legislation that would actually make a meaningful difference for families.
And so, at the end of the day, the only way we can trust that members of Congress are actually fighting for that kind of legislation is for them not to be taking money from the very corporations and special interests that do not want to see that kind of legislation pass.
Genuinely insane stuff. The law will require the pentagon to make itself dependent on Israel. Israeli tech, Israeli AI systems etc will be integrated into all the highest classification functions of the US military. They lost the public opinion war so now they’re going to set it up so any future anti-Israel president will be deposed in a military coup
There is now set to be at least eight democratic socialists in Congress.
Melat Kiros – alongside Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
DSA candidate, Melat Kiros, has defeated a 29-year incumbent in her primary for Colorado's 1st House
She will head to congress in November as the seat is a safe Democratic seat
Jon Favreau, like many liberals has completely dehumanized Palestinians, and they truly don’t believe they deserve the same protection as Israelis. That’s why it’s so hard for him to understand why people were protesting against Israel on October 8th.
Hey @jonfavs question, in retrospect what do you think is more offensive: attending an anti-Israel protest on Oct 8 2023 (even granting it was too “celebratory”) or Jeffries and Schumer attending a pro-Israel rally on Nov 14 2023 after Israel had killed more than 4,000 children?
Jon Favreau, former Obama speechwriter and co-host of Pod Save America said he has “a problem” with Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier because she “has not apologized for attending an anti-Israel rally on October 8th.”
By the time Avila Chevalier attended the October 8 rally, over 413 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza. The Israeli military had struck 426 sites across the Strip, according to official Israeli figures, and more than 2,200 Palestinians had already been wounded.
Favreau went on to characterize Avila Chevalier’s views as ranging from “moronic to abhorrent.”
🎥 "This Is Gaza" by Channel 4 News followed Palestinian journalist & filmmaker Yousef Hammash during and immediately after October 7.
If he starts channeling all petty drama impulses and fanbase attention to feuding and ousting DNC establishment figures rather than beefs w formerly friendly niche micro e-celebs I’ll have no choice but to like him. He’s in his element at his best here lol
ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination
It’s really funny they’re complaining about Hasan when Brace is right there but obviously these people just don’t know ball or they wouldn’t be losing to us so badly
Two years ago, the Columbia encampment seemed to have failed at its stated aims.
And yet Columbia will be represented in Congress by a participant in that encampment. Remarkable.
