And rigorous questioning, like this:
MUST SEE: Journalist @samhusseini calls out the State Dept on their months of evasiveness and deceit about (what should be) a simple question—one that he's asked them repeatedly:
“Does the US government recognize the Geneva Conventions as applying to Gaza?”
The American Empire’s Big Lie vs The #Usonian Republic: Video Commentary
A tragedy of the US is that as the franchise has expanded, it's been rendered less and less meaningful, even as those advances are instrumentalized to advance Empire.
New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:
"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.
"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.
"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.
"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.
"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.
"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.
"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."
Israel has clear plans to move Palestinians to concentration camps and take virtually all Gaza. No one is stopping them. Luckily we have the wisdom of these insightful people to tell us it is losing.
Political scientist John Mearsheimer (@mearsheimerj) and economist Yanis Varoufakis (@yanisvaroufakis) on the US and Israel’s "stunning defeat" in Iran and how Trump may have been trapped into a war he is now trying to escape.
I was asked whether the Senate could filibuster to block 224.
I said Schumer was more likely to lead a filibuster to keep it! That's one reason he needs to step aside after over 50 years of political life.
Progressives are winning because we have candidates willing to speak truth to power about Epstein, the billionaire class, the genocide in Gaza, taxing billionaires, and putting workers over AI.
The Bill of Rights has been attacked a myriad ofways since -- direct assaults on Liberty and subtle assaults such as Bill Clinton talking about a patient's Bill of Rights and other nonsense.
The nation held hostage by the imperial war machine, day 22,870.
Even though the parchment of the Constitution of the United States & the Bill of Rights is old & fading, nevertheless this document, the Bill of Rights, has meaning in all of our lives, every day. We owe a good deal to it. - JFK
House Rules Committee kills Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie’s attempt to prevent the merging of United States and Israeli military
This is HIGH TREASON. Zionist Occupied America has now been legislated into reality
Q: "Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?"
El-Sayed: "Nobody's ever asked me whether Palestine has a right to exist. Israel exists. The question is whether we want our money sent to Israel for genocide and apartheid - or invested in our own kids."
El-Sayed just flipped the script. The entire media apparatus is built on that double standard. He just tore it down in two sentences
Right. I think I heard @ryangrim speak of the need to give members of congress a way out. Why? So they can posture and commit more crimes in the future? Why doesn’t the same logic apply to Israeli parliamentarians?
You might think to yourself: why would AIPAC waste this money when they know Abdul will win the primary?
Answer: so they can soften him up for the general and beat him with the Republican, but make the attacks look like they’re coming from a fellow Dem.
By not banning AIPAC, a GOP-leaning group, from spending in Dem primaries, Dem leadership paved the way for this.
Stop calling it "America". America is basically the entire land mass. The USA should be called the USA, the US or Usonia, a term Frank Lloyd Wright used 100 years ago.
My pieces --
Make America Usonia
Trump may be ironically correct in naming it the “Gulf of America” in that the Gulf should be for all the Americas as the US should henceforth be referred to as Usonia.
