It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.

So the big thing that is going to come out of this is that the US is losing militarily to Iran and Russia, and would probably lose to China. The problem was that the defense budget was just a racket to make people rich and was never set up to fight a 21st century war.

israel and america do 9/11’s in lebanon and iran every day and it feels like the world barely cares

Remember this the next time you hear politicians debating social security and healthcare for Americans

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”

[Rachel Nichols @Rachel__Nichols]

The not-Chicago Bears? Today the Bears released a statement saying how excited they were for their “vision” of a taxpayer-funded stadium in Hammond, INDIANA. Umm…nope. If you can’t afford to keep the team in Chicago, sell it. Period.

[Julian Nicholas @JNicholasNYC]

the fact that we’re watching american citizens getting shot and killed like game tape, as if the stakes were “did he keep both feet inbounds” shows how desensitized we’ve become to violence

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

ICE just killed an American citizen

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

these people talk of war as if it is a storm making inevitable landfall rather than a set of choices made by humans to commit acts of death and destruction. war isn’t weathered, it is waged, and it’s in all of our power to stop it.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

We had to cutoff medication for sick babies in Africa overnight with the immediate USAID closure because money but we can provide Argentina boatloads of cash a month before their midterm elections.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

This is the best ever true news BBC ever made about Israel, 4 minutes but every minute is extremely important

[just matt @questionableway]

the united states is the only developed nation without universal healthcare and today we did something no developed nation has ever done before: we moved further away from universal coverage

[New town every hour (ret.) @TownsUsa]

If you support selling public lands and you’re not a billionaire you’re just plain stupid

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration.

Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.

[Lara Friedman @LaraFriedmanDC]

Yes folks, this is real (I just took this screenshot myself).

Pull up Beit Hanoun in Google maps and see for yourself (though seems likely Google will blur the image at some point).

"One day our society will come to respect the sanitation worker if it is to survive, for the person who picks up our garbage, in the final analysis, is as significant as the physician, for if he doesn’t do his job, diseases are rampant. All labor has dignity.” —MLK Jr.

I hope this moment clarifies the lines of class solidarity for people.
