Palestinian women are weeping over the lifeless corpses of their children every single fucking day but i'm supposed to feel Female Empowerment bc a rich popstar got flung into space for 11 minutes by the billionaire selling AI weaponry to israel
The United States has three branches of government:
1. The guy who does whatever he wants
2. The people too scared to stop him
3. The courts he openly ignores
when democrats are in office they can’t get anything done, but when trump is in office he can do whatever he wants. fascinating. and some of you still don’t get it. lol.
if you are someone who was able to overlook the genocide and cast a vote for kamala harris, then you already understand how a conservative was able to overlook Trump's extremism to vote for him.
Yesterday, we marched on our boss at Amazon’s KCVG air hub to demand an end to union busting.
We won’t be intimidated. We’re organizing for $30/hr starting pay, free on-site childcare, double pay for flex (overtime), professional translation, union representation & more.
Images from today's march for Palestine. Struggling to find words these days, aside from we need a ceasefire, we need to end military aid to Israel, & we need to end the occupation -- that to truly accomplish all of this, we need to end capitalism, bc it’s literally killing us.
We condemn the brutal Israeli assault on the people of Gaza, and call for an immediate cease-fire, humanitarian aid to help Gazans recover, an end to US military aid to the Israeli state's war machine, the release of all hostages on both sides, and an end to the Israeli occupation and subjugation of Palestinian lands.
The aims of the Israeli state were made clear when Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared on October 9, “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.”
The Israeli state’s brutal assault on the people of Gaza comes in the wake of the staggering loss of civilian lives by the murderous October 7 attack by Hamas, with 1,400 Israelis dead, 3,500 wounded, and another 200 taken as hostages. This act by Hamas was the largest mass killing of Jewish civilians in the history of Israel, and included the killing of Bedouins and other Arab-Israelis.
The Palestinian people have the right to self-determination. Furthermore, people living under occupation have the right to resist and to defend themselves with force. However, horrific attacks on civilians such as this do not further the safety or liberation of the Palestinian people. Instead, they undermine it by providing a pretext for disproportionate retaliation by the Israeli state, which has one of the world’s most powerful militaries, bolstered by more than $3.8 billion a year of military aid from the United States. All of this has only deepened the divisions between ordinary Israelis and Palestinians.
Global history decisively shows that reactionary and violent attacks on innocent and ordinary people will not bring an end to oppression. On the contrary, we need an international anti-war movement, with the labor movement and rank-and-file workers leading protests and strike actions. Fundamental change can only be brought about by movements of the working class and poor, joined across ethnic and sectarian lines. Such movements need to both fight for an end to war, and build the struggle for affordable housing, healthcare, good standards of living, and a dignified existence for all. This will require a global fightback against the billionaire class and their political representatives, and against the system of capitalism.

The most important union drive in the country is happening outside the small town of Florence, KY…at the biggest Amazon air hub in the world.
Corporate media won’t report on it. But we're on the ground, helping to build this fight.

If the Republicans throw paper towels at us when we face the brunt of the climate crisis (like Trump in PR), then Democrats give a one time payment of $700 when you've lost everything....all the while both parties fund the war machine to unimaginable levels.
