When MLK Jr took a stance against the Vietnam War damn near every liberal faction/organization abandoned him including the SCLC.. SNCC was one of the only few orgs to stand by him. It just shows you that it’s just not the right that’s in the way of change but liberals too

[Honey, the land! @angryblkhoemo]

My more cynical take is that the DSA people didn't forget why we were saying defund (and abolish); they simply made a calculated decision that Black people are worthwhile collateral damage upon getting even a whiff of proximity to the democratic party

[Bunker Cat🔻 @bunkercat36]

pro-Palestine content creators who witnessed and reported a whole ass genocide perpetrated by democrats only to, in 2026, glaze democrats, what the fuck is going on people?

[shrigma leninist @charybdeez]

your entire political horizon is JUST WIN AT ALL COSTS.

Kshama lost, but if she wasn't just an (essentially) isolated candidate and had a DSA-sized party behind her willing to use this as a starting point from which to build, that would become a game changer.

"She was trying to get Democrats elected" is the explaination offered for why AOC lied about Kamala working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire?

Independent left journalists should ask AOC to defend herself on the record instead of undermining their own credibility by offering up inadequate excuses.

[Harry Pettit 🇱🇧🇵🇸 @HarrygPettit]

80% of Palestinians were expelled from Palestine in 1948, by Jews.

The rest are kept in open air prisons, by Jews.

2 million Palestinians have now suffered genocide, by Jews.

Yet Hoover asks four times how Jews will be kept safe in a future state.

That's Jewish supremacy.

@NairYasmin @curaffairs Yup! I as did in February. And that was the third or fourth time he’d been on Bad Faith. Because sometimes people are worth getting to know bc they’re fighting for good things— not just because they’re likely to be in power.

@SpookySocialist @SpookySocialist did you see Establishment dweeb Ryan Grim try to whitewash Ro Khanna’s lack of support for armed resistance, by positing that he’s a secret supporter of it but needs to deny Palestinians’ right to resist publicly to “build coalitions”?😭

VIDEO | While traveling through Yemeni airspace during the Saudi attack on Sanaa International Airport, members of the Yemeni delegation on board were captured on video chanting, "Death to America," "Death to Israel," and "Death to Al-Saud."

[حيدر | Haydar @chronicalihere]

Just as I've been saying for months, this is what it's been about all along— forcing Iran to concede to a partnership on (co)managing/ extracting tolls from the Strait of Hormuz.

You might think that sounds ridiculous. But the US knows it cannot defeat Iran militarily or take over the country physically. That became apparent fairly early on.

With its global hegemonic stranglehold weakening; the price of sustaining a burgeoning imperial apparatus increasing; the Americans are resorting to another direction going forwards.

It is no longer feasible to go into countries for sustained, prolonged military campaigns and occupations that allowed it to extract resources or secure their interests with force longterm. As the past few months have demonstrated.

Playing good cop/ bad cop; tough-talking and threatening on restarting the war and destroying Iran's energy infrastructure; then offering a deal on the Strait will make it appear as a fair compromise.

This is standard art-of-the-deal tactics from Trump. He wants to sell it as some massive victory; being able to collect sizeable profits off of taxing 20% of the world's energy supply transferring through that waterway.

The intended outcome from all this pressurizing and posturing from the US once again in recent days; all the threats of escalation and blockading the Strait yet again today, is about setting things up to make an eventual deal with Iran whereby they will share profits from managing/ taxing the Strait.

The US has been desperately scrambling to manage the optics from the fallout of this entire conflict of its own making. They need something to take back with them, that will convince those back home that engaging in this war in behalf of Israel was worth it.

The lack of a quickfire smash-and-grab victory wasn't anticipated; miscalculation and misinformed intelligence seems to be sucking the US into a full on prolonged campaign. Which they can ill-afford financially or logistically in terms of deploying military resources.

Hence the attempts to cut a deal whereby Trump can spin a joint-venture on the Hormuz toll as a marker of a considerable victory, when it would purely be symbolic in reality.

Any real profit made here wouldn't be considerable enough to make this entire ordeal viable enough to have gotten into. When your primary aims were never met and are even more impossible to acheive now.

He will most likely frame it as America gaining the ability of managing/ securing the Strait— as if this is enough to change the majority of Americans' opinion on starting this war. He does this by claiming to completely take over the Strait today, then as Iran retaliates, the concession will be sharing the taxes.

The increased attacks are once again empty posturing with the little the US can find to leverage; the threat of unleashing violence if their demands aren't met. Just as Trump has done multiple times over the last few months, yet has had to back down every time.

Because he doesn't hold all the cards any longer, that's why he has to make these demands. He doesn't have the upper hand; their regional hegemony has been overturned in quick succession and these persistent requests to comply are a sign of that waning power.

After making the argument himself that the closure or taxing of the Strait would make countries suffer immeasurable economic hardship; he is doing exactly that. Why?

Given that the American continent sits ocean(s) away from the Eurasian and African landmasses which are increasingly becoming geographically/ logistically interconnected and interdependent through trade routes bound together by China— the US knows it will ultimately drift away into obscurity/ irrelevance.

The Americans know this and it's why there is hyper fixation now on controlling key waterways such as the Panama Canal, the Hormuz and Malacca Straits and wanting to occupy Greenland— dominating key maritime and strategic bottlenecks globally to secure profits (and relevance).

This is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

He was fatally shot by ICE agents in Houston this past week, on Tuesday, after being profiled. DHS said he tried to ram his van into them - witnesses, undocumented, say that's not what happened. They have been detained by ICE and have now have received papers to self deport - they are the only people who can testify to what ICE did to Salgado.

If you know the names Alex Pretti and Renee Good - you need to know Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Keith Porter, a black man killed by an off-duty ICE agent on January Ist of this year.

ICE has the authority to kill anyone - they have complete impunity and they are showing it to us everyday.
