Sartre's insistence on metaphysical freedom endures from his early work (Being and Nothingness) to his later critique. This is the freedom to choose within the limits of objective conditions and the awareness of the full burden of responsibility for these choices. Such freedom is a necessary condition for political liberation.

Our campaign is proud to be endorsed by Chris Hedges!

Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, author, and host of the online broadcast The Chris Hedges Report.

In his endorsement, Hedges says:

"I’ve admired and supported the revolutionary socialist Kshama Sawant since she was first elected in 2013 to the Seattle City Council. Her fierce commitment to the working class, her steadfast defiance of the billionaires who destroyed our democracy, and her anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist credentials have long made her a special target.

"The billionaire class has pumped millions of dollars into campaigns to defeat her and orchestrated a recall vote in 2021, which she fought and won.

"Her current campaign for Congress is part of our grassroots struggle to wrest power from the hands of the global ruling class. It is a campaign for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich. It is a campaign to raise the minimum wage to at least $25 an hour. It is a campaign to block landlords from extorting massive rents and evicting families. It is a campaign to drive politicians like Adam Smith, a tool of big business who is funded by and subservient to the Israel lobby, from Congress.

"In an age when we stand on the cusp of fascism, we cannot rely on the Democratic Party, whose betrayal of the working class and subservience to the rich gave us Trump.

"We need a political earthquake. We need a revolution. But it won’t happen until we stand with revolutionaries like Kshama."

Why is there a sense of panic among establishment Democrats and their media pundits in the face of DSA victories at the polls? Chris Hedges put it bluntly in the Death of the Liberal Class (2010): "The death of the liberal class means there is no check to a corporate apparatus designed to enrich a tiny elite and plunder the nation. " The recent victories of DSA candidates shows there is a growing disenchantment among the electorate with wars of aggression, obscene economic inequality, immigrant bashing, unaffordable health care, and the repression of dissent by the national security state. There is an earnest search on for alternatives to the prevailing duopoly, for a politics that answers to the vital needs of constituents, for a politics of liberation.

76 yaşında Richard Gere'in söylediği, yalnızca yaşlanmaktan korkanların değil, herkesin duyması gereken sözler…

Yaşlılık sadece kırışıklık değildir.

Sadece beyaz saç da değildir.

Kimlikte yazan bir sayı hiç değildir.

Asıl yaşlılık, hayatın peşinden durmadan koşmak yerine onu yaşamayı öğrendiğiniz andır.

Evet, beden değişir.

Yüz, gençlikteki gibi kalmaz.

Hareketler yavaşlar.

Ayna ise gerçeği her zamankinden daha açık gösterir.

Ama zamanın elinden alamadığı bir şey vardır:

Kalp.

Çünkü kalp, beden gibi yaşlanmaz.

İlk sevgiyi, ilk hayali, ilk acıyı, ilk kaybı ve dünyayı kucaklamak istediğiniz o ilk sevinci hep hatırlar.

Ruhun yaşı yoktur.

Yıllar geçtikçe belki de en önemli gerçeği anlarız:

Her yaş, yaşanması gereken doğru yaştır.

• 20'li yaşlar cesaret verir.
• 30'lu yaşlar inşa etme gücü kazandırır.
• 40'lı yaşlar insanı kendisiyle dürüst olmaya götürür.
• 50'li yaşlar derinlik kazandırır.
• 60'lı yaşlar bilgelik getirir.
• 70'li yaşlar ise artık kimseye bir şey ispat etme ihtiyacı duymayan huzuru sunar.

Her yaşın kendine özgü bir armağanı vardır.

Yaş almak bir yenilgi değil, bir ayrıcalıktır.

Çünkü herkes saçlarının beyazladığını göremez.

Herkes çocuklarının büyüdüğüne tanıklık edemez.

Herkes yeni bir baharı karşılayamaz.

Herkes sabah uyanıp, "Ben hâlâ buradayım." diyemez.

Çoğu zaman zamana karşı savaşırız.

Kırışıklıkları gizleriz.

Yaşımızdan utanırız.

Eski fotoğraflarla kendimizi kıyaslarız.

Oysa gerçek zafer, dışarıdan genç görünmek değil; içten yaşlanmamaktır.

Merakını koruyabilmek…

Nezaketini kaybetmemek…

Hayata hâlâ şaşırabilmek…

İçtenlikle gülebilmek…

Korkmadan sevebilmek…

Küçük şeylere şükredebilmek…

Sessiz günlerde bile güzelliği görebilmek…

Çünkü genç görünmenin değil, son güne kadar canlı bir ruha sahip olmanın sırrı önemlidir.

O zaman geçen her yıl bir kayıp olmaktan çıkar, bir armağana dönüşür.

Yaş almaktan korkmayın. Asıl korkulması gereken, hayatı gerçekten yaşamadan ömrü tüketmektir. Çünkü yaşlanmak solup gitmek değil, bazen insanın içten içe parlamaya başlamasıdır. 🌿✨

🚨 The truth about real peace and prosperity:
How many wars has China been involved in over the past 40 years?

Zero. Not a single one.

While one country has spent decades bombing, invading, and destabilizing nations across the globe, China chose a completely different path: building, trading, and lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty >> including doing massive business with the United States itself.

There is zero need to turn China into an enemy.
None.
If the US chooses cooperation and peaceful coexistence, we will witness a true golden age of global prosperity in a multipolar world >> innovation, trade, and development exploding everywhere.
If it doubles down on confrontation and containment, we’re heading straight into a dark era of conflict, economic pain, and lost opportunities… where no one wins.

The choice is clear. The world is watching.

Peace and win-win cooperation is the only rational path forward. 🇨🇳

El 59.7% de los salvadoreños no tiene preferencia por ningún partido político, según la última encuesta del Instituto Universitario de Opinión Pública (IUDOP) de la UCA.

Nuevas Ideas cayó del 46.5% al 34.2% de preferencia entre 2019 y 2026.
Hay descontento, pero no hay quién lo recoja.

"La ideología ha desaparecido de la organización política. ¿Qué es ser socialdemócrata en este momento? ¿Qué propuestas hay para el país?"

An interesting coincidence with the Kantian categorical imperative (moral law) which does not appeal to emotions or desires to motivate our moral obligations.

Yes, indeed, thank you New York City!

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

Despite millions spent by AIPAC and establishment-backed candidates, New York voters chose progressive challengers focused on housing, healthcare, workers’ rights, and peace.

These victories are a rejection of endless war, big-money politics, and politicians who put powerful lobbies before people.

New York is leading the way!

Latin America is facing a rightward shift, but history shows that the struggle for sovereignty, justice, and dignity never moves in a straight line. Millions across the region continue to organize, resist, and dream of another future.
