@elonmusk I graduated high school in 95 and believe healthcare, prison systems and education should never be for profit. I also believe the US is an oligarchy. I am a proud lefty because of MY BELIEFS. You are far right because of yours
@LongTimeHistory People in Gaza and Lebanon are being killed by the thousands rn and you are here crying about the pool, like “these people” YOU ARE THE FN GROSS ONE. GO WASH YOUR DIRTY MEAN MOUTH
We live under a capitalist oligarchy where both sides of the government serve billionaires, the war machine, and Israel.
Whenever the people find a candidate to take on the system, the system either co-opts the candidate or crushes the campaign.
Revolution is the only solution.
I am co-sponsoring the @RashidaTlaib-led resolution recognizing the ongoing Nakba, the erasure and dispossession of the Palestinian people who currently face a brutal occupation.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
You are such a trash person, and you stay true to your Afrikaner lineage, you racist bastard. When you aren’t stirring up racial propaganda regarding "white genocide" in my country, you’re busy trying to delegitimize Black Americans’ rightful claims regarding the injustices of slavery and the Jim Crow era, just as you’re doing now. What did Black people ever do to you, Space Karen? Were they the ones whooping your ass in Pretoria?
Cory Booker says you should’ve voted blue no matter who.
This is the same Cory Booker who refused to endorse his own party’s NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
The man now taxing billionaire penthouses to fund childcare.
The man who fixed 100,000 potholes in 100 days.
The man actually governing.
Booker wants your loyalty.
He couldn’t offer his own.
Never stop connecting the dots.
@elonmusk@LughAengusOg I see people from other countries talking about the craziness that’s been created and I don’t disagree. But Pandora’s gun box has been blown open. We have to work with what is… 2/
@elonmusk@LughAengusOg As an American who is for certain gun law reform, I think concealed carry in public places should be legal. I know certain places will ban guns and nothing can be done about that.. Open carry is a different story. It has been known to cause confusion in mass shooter scenarios 1/
Dems have been playing this same simple game for years with their gullible followers. They pretend to want something their "base" wants, but always manage to fall a few votes short. Gosh darn! Vote Dem next time and we'll get it for you! I wrote in 2010:

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.
@caitoz@willofD84 Not sure what that means for me here in the ol’ U.S. of A. but , agreed 🤷🏼♀️ I am tired of these authoritarian, war mongering pieces of it
This week, I will be forcing a vote to block nearly $500 million in bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Enough is enough.
U.S. taxpayers must not keep funding the Netanyahu government’s mass killing and displacement of civilians in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
With Kamala Harris saying she might run again for President, people are asking if she comes with a lot of "baggage." I'd say yes: the body bags of over 70,000 people from Gaza. That's a heck of a lot of baggage.
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam on Israel: "I swear to god there's some people out there just ready to kill and go across borders and take over land that doesn't belong to them, and they should get the fuck out. We don't want to give them our taxes to drop bombs on children. No more!"
@Bennjamyn@dqveed You have no idea what you’re fn talking about. Taqiyya is an Islamic concept that allows a believer to conceal their faith or religious identity when facing a DIRECT THREAT of death, injury, or severe persecution.
@MatrixBlasterXL@geralt_of_rivi@tufpraise And what? Am I to list progressive Muslims for you? How about progressive orgs? MPV, AIM, Muslim advocates, Muslim reform movement, MPAC… I have already mentioned there’s a large amount of extremists- doesn’t change THE FACT some are progressive
@MatrixBlasterXL@geralt_of_rivi@tufpraise I said they are. Are you okay? For the record, Taqiyya is a religious doctrine in Islam that permits a believer to conceal their faith or perform prohibited acts when facing a direct threat of death, severe injury, or extreme persecution. 1/
