I FUCKING HATE ISRAEL WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. THE MONSTERS JUST TARGETED AND ASSASSINATED @AnasAlSharif0
THE TIME FOR WORDS IS OVER. IF YOU ARENT ACTIVELY FIGHTING AGAINST THIS, YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
Senator Lindsey Graham was one of the most loathsome warmongering anti-worker bigots in the halls of the U.S. Congress.
Graham was as vicious a proponent of imperialist war as they come. For decades, he was a hardened supporter of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and its apartheid state. He effectively called for Israel to use nuclear weapons on the Palestinian people, likened Palestinians to Nazi Germany, and urged that Israel “flatten” Gaza and the West Bank. He called for “regime change” in Iran and was an undying advocate of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. He described American funding for the bloody inter-imperialist proxy war in Ukraine as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”
Graham was virulently opposed to social democracy and socialism anywhere, and especially hated the planned economy in Cuba and social democratic reforms in Venezuela. He celebrated a possible return to capitalism in Cuba by saying “their days are numbered.” He called Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia “the drug caliphate.”
As working and poor people lost the ground from under their feet in the Covid pandemic, Graham used his position to speak out repeatedly against the bare minimum stimulus. Graham claimed that the relief package would encourage working people to be “lazy” and unemployed. It apparently gnawed at his insides that the Covid relief bill would pay the equivalent of over $24/hour in South Carolina versus the state minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, as the world's richest people doubled their fortunes and the incomes of billions of working people plummeted and over 160 million more people were forced into poverty.
Graham strenuously opposed abortion rights, introduced numerous anti-abortion bills, and voted for every bill he could to cut social assistance for working-class and poor families.
He was a staunch opponent of trans and queer rights. He voted for the horrendous Defense of Marriage Act (scandalously voted for by a majority of Democrats and signed by Democratic President Bill Clinton), and called himself a “proud defender of traditional marriage.” He voted against repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and co-sponsored the bill against trans women in sports.
So in summary, good fucking riddance to Lindsey Graham. Never forget the misery he helped create for hundreds of millions of people. Shame on Democratic Party politicians, including Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Joe Biden, who are eulogizing Lindsey Graham.
We need to build militant mass movements of the working class and build our own party to defeat the right wing, the billionaires, and both their parties.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of my former colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. He was full of wit, energy, and charm, and he cared deeply about the Senate and the people of South Carolina. Doug and I are sending our thoughts and our prayers to his friends and loved ones.
@lgbtequalitypac@DWStweets This fucking sucks. Elijah Manley is a way better candidate and an openly gay black man in a majority black district. Do better.
Mamdani: By the time a year rolls around, you will have saved more than two days of commuting time. That means breakfast with your family. That means getting home in time for bedtime. It means agreeing with your friends that Egypt was robbed yesterday.
My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
Another big loser of yesterday's election: @Columbia University. For years, they sided with the Zionist lobby and the establishment, inflicting violence and repression on their own students and alumni, including Darializa. Now there'll be someone in DC holding them accountable.
Hasan Piker has endorsed Melat Kiros, CO-01 candidate, and Oliver Larkin, FL-25 candidate
Both are challenging incumbent Democrats, like Darializa Avila Chevalier who won the NY-13 primary tonight to defeat Adriano Espaillat
Taking out the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus with a self-described communist 32 year old PhD student who tweeted “fuck Kamala Harris” is beyond insane. DEFCON 1 moment for the Democratic establishment.
