[Maha | Gaza🇵🇸 @Mahamasri04]

Every day we live in Gaza is a struggle to stay alive.💔
For more than 3 years, we have been trying to stay and endure in Gaza, as if we are holding on to our last breath. As time passes, the responsibility has become greater, the needs have become more, and fear dwells in the chest and does not leave. The exhaustion has reached the bone, the anxiety is indescribable, and the pressure has made breathing itself difficult. I work, search, and ask for help not because this is what I want, but because there is an extended family behind me that depends on me, and because giving up is not an option for me. Your donation is not a passing act of charity, but a day that we live, and a night that we sleep without thinking about how we will survive tomorrow. And if you cannot donate, do not pass by our story in silence; share it, for it may reach someone who can save our hardest days.❤️

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what it can do for Israel.

@hunguschun7nvo @paulinaplazas @ProudSocialist I agree but I still wanna see a bloodbath in the midterms

“I’m not talking because every time I talk, blood comes out of my mouth and makes my dress dirty, and I don’t want my mom to have to clean it.”

Hind Rajab’s last words to the paramedics she was on the phone with before Israeli soldiers pumped 355 bullets into the car she was in.

Let’s fucking go! Customs and Border Patrol is backing down for now and pausing the demolition of Big Bend National Park in Texas. Good things happen when the people come together and fight back against those in power. Solidarity to every single protestor who made this happen!!!

look at that stadium full of students and faculty who just watched and didn't do a damn thing to save their classmate. That is the bigger danger.

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

I spent my day watching the place I love more than anything in the world be irreversibly destroyed for no reason.

There is not a single logical explanation for what DHS and its contractors are doing to Big Bend. It has become perfectly clear: they are using the destruction of this crown jewel national park as a vehicle to transfer billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of these politically connected contractors.

They are sacrificing our public lands so obscenely rich men who have never once set foot here can get even richer. And if they can do it here in Texas' wildest and most beloved national park, they will do it everywhere.

Governor Abbott, Senators Cruz and Cornyn: WHERE ARE YOU?!

Americans invented a word for their corruption so that it wouldn't sound like corruption.

They called it lobbying.

In most of the world, if a corporation hands a politician money and the politician then votes in that corporation's interest, we have a name for that.

The name is bribery.

The person goes to prison, or is supposed to, or at least has to conduct the transaction in a parking garage at midnight with an envelope.

In America, the transaction happens in broad daylight. It is filed with the Federal Election Commission. It is legal. It is protected, since 2010, by a Supreme Court ruling that defined the exchange of money for political access as free speech.

They looked at bribery and called it speech.

They looked at corruption and called it democracy.

And then they sent ambassadors to other countries to lecture those governments about transparency and rule of law.

The audacity is not incidental to the system.

The audacity is the system.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

They should rename it Dual-Citizens United after Israeli Miriam Adelson spent her millions to beat me. 😂

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains.

We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors.

We don't need to desecrate this sacred land.

We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

Born in Detroit to Egyptian immigrant parents, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar with two doctorates who became Detroit's youngest-ever health director at age 30 before going on to teach epidemiology at Columbia University.

Calling him a "radical Islamist" makes you look stupid, not him.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.

The Powell memo outlined a strategy. Unite corporate special interests, privilege corporate perspectives in the media, appoint sympathetic judges to the court, and buy politicians in both political parties.

And it worked. Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle-down economics. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft.

Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.

BREAKING: Bulldozers are arriving in Big Bend National Park near Santa Elena Canyon to plow through border barriers & roads.

The irreversible destruction of Texas' crown jewel national park is unfolding and virtually no national media is paying attention. 📷 Natialie Newman

Chuck the Cuck has got to go.

[Abier @abierkhatib]

I don’t even got the words for how fucked up this world is…

The same country that is slaughtering kids every damn day somehow got one of their own running a UN org for children.

I’m out of fucks to give. This shit is sick.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought.

Onto November.

@ProudSocialist Yah and I fell for it more times than I care to admit. I’m an idealist by nature but I’m full on cynic now yet still hopeful somehow

US workers’ share of gross income falls to 43%, which is near its lowest in history.

The majority of wealth goes to corporations and shareholders through profits, dividends, and other capital income.
