Attlee’s Labour, elected with a 146 seat majority, created the NHS and built the welfare state.

Starmer’s Labour, elected with a 173 seat majority, have been complicit in the Palestinian genocide, have implemented anti-trans policies, and cut welfare for the most vulnerable.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Starmer calling Corbyn's Labour morally bankrupt in his resignation speech — from a man who defended collective punishment in Gaza, fed intelligence to Israeli génocidaires, and had activists trying to stop it arrested as terrorists. Not a decent man. An indecent sociopath.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

Bills up.

Wages too low.

Record profits for Oil & Gas.

50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.

Shit in our rivers.

Pensioners jailed for protesting.

Migrants thrown under the bus.

Supporting a Genocide.

That's Starmer's legacy.

[Metro DC DSA @mdc_dsa]

Yesterday the people of DC voted resoundingly for Democratic Socialist candidates across the board! Though we still have to wait for voting to be fully tabulated, Metro DC DSA endorsed candidates Janeese Lewis George and Aparna Raj hold commanding leads in their races. (1/8)

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties.

This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles.

To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.

If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.

New Jersey -- we made history tonight.

Healthcare not bombs.

Abolish ICE.

Unrig the economy.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

Pope Leo XIV on AI:

“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”

[David Adler @davidrkadler]

I simply do not understand how we, as a country, tolerate the hypocrisy of indicting Raúl Castro for defending Cuban airspace — while our own government celebrates the extrajudicial assassinations of innocent fishermen sailing across the sea below.

[Sami Gold @souljagoyteller]

There’s this bizarre tendency by Zionists to claim that a literal cabinet minister does not represent Israel’s government, while actions by random Palestinians define the entire Palestinian nation. Funny how that works

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Does anyone still have doubts that Palestinians are being tortured and raped? This is how Israel treats international protestors in public. What they do to Palestinians in private is a million times worse.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

You see recurrent versions of this everywhere, i.e. the idea people get more conservative as they get older. This is broadly true of exactly one generation blessed to grow up with shared prosperity and a welfare state that then decided no one else deserved those things.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world. We will be with Congressman Rabb every step of the way in the fight to abolish ICE, free Palestine and win Medicare for All.
