Americans need to get in the streets & protest like we know you can. Your government is ignoring the genocide in Sudan while selling weapons to the UAE to arm the RSF. 60,000 have been massacred in El Fasher alone & it will happen again in El Obeid. Where are the protests????
I tried to think of COVID as a trial run for how we'll handle the many crises to come and looking at the responses to this very light suggestion (intended to ensure you have any air conditioning at all) is a reminder of how cataclysmically we failed
Last year, world leaders allowed a brutal Sudanese militia to overrun the city of El Fasher and massacre people in it. Now that same militia, the RSF, is besieging the city of El Obeid and is poised to slaughter the half a million people inside. Good for @unreliefchief and others for speaking up.
The best hope, I think, for avoiding mass atrocities is for President Trump to call on the UAE -- which backs the RSF -- and insist it tell the RSF to back off. Trump's family does business with senior Emiratis, and the US provides weapons to the UAE. We have leverage. But neither Biden nor Trump was willing to use the leverage and speak publicly about the UAE financing a Sudanese militia that has engaged in mass murder and mass rape. And if we remain silent, there will be another slaughter soon in El Obeid.
🚨NEW: @AbdulElSayed responds to Dem powerbrokers saying it’s too dangerous for him to be Dems’ Senate nominee:
“If you’re Chuck Schumer, I’m dangerous. If you’re AIPAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re a corporate PAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re Blue Cross Blue Shield’s CEO, I’m pretty damn dangerous.”
Amy Coney Barrett adopted two children from Haiti.
Now she’s part of a Supreme Court majority allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 350,000 Haitians, putting many at risk of losing legal protection while instability continues in their home country.
Many Haitians with TPS work as nurses, nursing assistants, home health aides, and other essential healthcare professionals across the United States.
This is a profound contradiction. Supporters argue the ruling was about executive authority and immigration law, not the merits of Haiti’s conditions.
Whatever your view, these decisions affect real families, real workers, and real communities. That’s why transparency, accountability, and thoughtful public debate matter.
why should anyone demonstrate loyalty to the brand, when their loyalty should be to the working class? this isn’t about revitalizing the dem brand. it’s about fighting fascism and building a resilient working class movement that stops factoring in corpo/israels interests!!
Rep. Jerry Nadler on this: "I've known Brad Lander for years, and he will make an excellent Member of Congress. For Bruce Blakeman to invoke the Holocaust to smear a fellow Jewish man is beyond the pale — it is a grotesque desecration of the memory of six million Jews. These comments are disqualifying, and they show exactly why Bruce Blakeman must never be Governor of New York."
Even @Morning_Joe has had it with the false claims of antisemitism: "If you want to blame anybody for what happened last night, you have to blame Benjamin Netanyahu."
"The idea that you're going to be able to brutalize children and women in Gaza with bombing that looks indiscriminate on TV day in and day out for years, that you're going to be able to level half of Lebanon, that you're going to be able to continue to allow thugs to run wild in the West Bank, and brutalizing Palestinians, brutalizing Christians in Bethlehem, brutalizing Christians across that area along with Palestinian Muslims, especially Palestinian Muslims, blowing up Catholic churches in Gaza... You can blame all of this on Benjamin Netanyahu."
run! run! run for the hills! wicked socialists will force us to accept free postal service, horror of free public transportation (as the bad socialists have in Europe) , one day (maybe) universal health care! run!
