About ready to call it; humanity is a failed experiment. We had a time when we could have worked within nature & made sure that no one was in need. Instead WE ALLOWED or actively encouraged a small gluttonous group to amass obscene amounts of wealth & rule over us to our demise.

You didn’t see Schumer’s blistering criticism?

Kidding. Of course, it’s not just Republicans smearing Muslim electeds. 22 Dems joined in Tlaib’s censure for speaking about Israel & Palestine as the only Palestinian American in Congress. Gillibrand essentially called Mamdani a global jihadist. Then there’s Gottheimer.

Smearing Muslims seems to be a rare area of bipartisan cooperation.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Has anyone in Dem leadership—Jeffries, Schumer, anyone—spoken out on defense of Tlaib and Hamawy after the racist attacks targeting them yesterday? Any major pundit, liberal nonprofit? Any editorial board? Republicans smearing Muslim electeds as “terrorists” is simply a nonstory

They bomb 9 countries in a year but still play the victim.

It's one party

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

She told the Times she “had not been active with the organization recently.”

She was active with them in mid-April. This is actually correction worthy.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The NYT said that @lyndseyfifield has been out of politics and isn’t doing anything with the conservative dark money group Independent Women’s Forum anymore but here she is getting quoted at a Republican congressional event in mid-April of 2026, a few weeks ago, with IWF as her ID

[Sir Norman of Nowhere. 🏴‍☠️ @Normanjam67]

Remember folks,
Calling the only Jewish leader of a national political party human trash isn't Antisemitism because the party he leads wants justice for Palestine.
This is two-tier racism.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

It gets more insane. This is a right-wing smear campaign. NY Post, 2018:

"Inez Stepman and Lindsey Fifield are two millennial women who co-founded the group Ladies for Kavanaugh to show their support for the nominee... Their pro-Kavanaugh group was formed on their own time."

[Nathan Bernard @nathanTbernard]

This is the GOP operative who NYT used as their primary Platner source without being able to corroborate her claims.

[Zaid Jilani @ZaidJilani]

She’s a racist hack who led a pro-Kavanaugh group. Obviously she wants Platner to lose the election because he doesn’t want to throw Palestinians into the sea.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

It’s not rocket science, genocide is bad, speaking out about it is good.

According to the media, I’m supposed to stop supporting Graham Platner based on accusations from a right-wing operative who previously worked to discredit Kavanaugh’s accusers.

[Ashleyy @dontsippy]

It’s like liberal media exists solely to attack the left. I’ve not seen them go this hard against a republican candidate this election cycle

Yesterday, Marco Rubio announced new restrictions targeting Cuban organizations, further limiting who Americans can meet with while traveling to Cuba.

Americans can travel freely to countries with one-party systems, monarchies, mass incarceration, political prisoners, or severe human rights abuses. Yet when it comes to Cuba, Washington tells us where we can travel, which hotels we can stay in, and now even which organizations we can meet with. All in the name of “democracy.”

Leave Cuba alone. End the blockade.

I spoke yesterday in Paris about how socialist policy can enable us to overcome social deprivation and ecological crisis, by aligning investment and production with democratically determined objectives.

I noticed that some people assume socialism necessarily means 100% public ownership, but this is not the case. Yes, for many important reasons, we need public ownership of public services, utilities and the commanding heights, and yes we need a public finance system, industrial policy and credit guidance...

But there's no reason we cannot have private firms producing consumer goods like watches, beer, etc - the key is that they should be democratically owned and managed, by workers or communities empowered to determine the objectives of investment and production.

We know that when people have democratic control over production they are more likely to align it with social and ecological needs.

Socialism is ultimately about economic democracy: extending the principle of democracy into the realm of production. Cooperatives are an important step in this direction.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[Asa Winstanley @AsaWinstanley]

Ban all Israeli sports teams from EVERYTHING now!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

@KyleKulinski truly a miracle that the only woman who ever happened to describe himself as abusive decided to work for the heritage foundation, an organization responsible for the abuse and death of countless children via ICE & project 2026
