I’ll explain this like you’re five:
People who spend decades researching complicated problems sometimes change their minds based on evidence.
That’s called learning.
If most experts in a field reach similar conclusions, your first question shouldn’t be, “Why are they all left-wing?” It should be, “What do they know that I don’t?”
This really isn’t the flex you think it is.
She's still in the Israeli torture prison btw, since everyone is talking about @RoKhanna being detained for a few minutes. Apply as much pressure as you can please.
"Grassroots volunteer group to defend their town against rising settler violence" fundamentally describes the PLO, Hamas, PFLP, Hezbollah, and all anti-Zionist resistance factions.
When these guys get too effective, Israel will just bomb them and say they're terrorists.
Unions expose how a system based on greed is more than willing to risk safety for profit.
When union workers demand more, not only do they get the job done well, they make sure workers come home.

🕊️Remembering Philando Castile 10 years later — the fight against racist police brutality continues!
On July 6, 2016, school worker Philando Castile was murdered by Minnesota police officer Jeronimo Yanez during a traffic stop for a broken tail light. His murder sparked nationwide outrage at the racist nature of the police system in America — across the country, thousands hit the streets in protest of his murder and the entire system.
When stopped, Castile announced to Yanez that he legally possessed a firearm. When Castile reached for his identification, Yanez shot him four times. Diamond Reynolds, Philando Castile’s girlfriend, live-streamed the aftermath of the shooting despite the terrifying circumstances she was in. Philando did everything right, and he was still killed by a racist cop. Yanez stopped Castile after thinking that he matched the profile of someone who robbed a gas station in a blatant act of racial profiling.
Philando Castile was murdered one day after Alton Sterling was murdered by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Their killings sparked days of demonstrations against racist policing. Four years later, the nationwide uprisings after the murder of George Floyd changed the national consciousness around policing forever. But our work continues — Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted by a Ramsey county jury. This outrageous miscarriage of justice is a feature, not a bug, of policing under capitalism.
As long as this racist, capitalist system exists, the police will exist to protect property. The history of this country has always been of two Americas — one America for the rich and powerful and those who protect them, and one America of working people who want to live safe, dignified lives where their lives matter more than property. We remember Philando Castile and the people across the country who rose up in protest of his murder, as we fight for a completely new system that prioritizes our safety!
Jail all killer cops! Justice for Philando Castile!

Powerful: instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Trump's America, Pope Leo XIV chose to stand at Lampedusa's Gate of Europe, the monument dedicated to those who rescue and welcome migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
An Israeli soldier in Gaza holds up the sock of a Palestinian girl after killing her, filming himself smiling, after writing in his post (in Hebrew): "My new hobby: smelling the sock of a 5-year-old girl twice a day for 4 months."
This is neither a narrative nor an analysis. These are the soldier's own words, with his picture and from his own account.

If our democracy was functioning then we would take care of all of this bullshit corruption but we are a plutocratic authoritarian state. Just companies standing on companies in a trench coat. We need a new system.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Top journalist Ana Kasparian drops a massive revelation.
She confirms the UAE just bought half of the Trump family's crypto company, funneling a staggering 580 million dollars directly to the President.
The White House is entirely for sale.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S., we remember that no slave was freed by the Declaration of Independence.
On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered his famous “What to the American slave is your Fourth of July?” speech in Rochester, NY.
“I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.” #2AmericasAt250
