Frustrated with those who live very comfortable lives yet continue to pursue personal ambitions rather than helping their communities during a time when many of their neighbors are struggling.
It’s now been 1,000 days since the genocide in Gaza began. I’ll never forget the overwhelming feeling of dread and horror, knowing the hell Israel would unleash on October 8th. Their sadism surpassed my wildest expectations. Free Palestine, always and forever 💔🇵🇸
A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.
Capitalism is a death cult
Hasan Piker: “Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky at numerous points in his life. I’m sure he worked hard, but you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse. Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did”
PLATNER (to Schumer): “Stop having a problem with the illegal wars we’re starting simply because the paperwork wasn’t done properly. You should be against them because they’re fundamentally immoral, unethical, and illegal.”

BREAKING: At the Munich Security Conference, @AOC just delivered an extremely powerful statement:
"In Democracies we have elected leaders, and in massive corporations that begin to consume the public sector, they start to call the shots and we’re starting to see this with some of the billionaire class throwing their weight around. It is of urgent priority that we get our economic houses in order and deliver material gains for the working class or else we will fall to a more isolated world, governed by authoritarians that also do not deliver for the working people."
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani responds to Secretary Noem: "If that is 'following his training,' then I think there are larger questions about the training that's being provided to ICE agents."
