Only #LandBack for Puerto Rico will bring true liberation.

[Boricuas Unidos en la Diáspora @BUDPR]

Congratulations to @anthrorican and @jussjacq for this extraordinary article in @NACLA advocating for Puerto Rico's independence.

This is what we need from all scholars and leaders: a morally clear argument for liberation!

Zorhan Mamdani: “As Mayor I would have Netanyahu arrested if he came to New York!”

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

Today, I announced my working-class, antiwar, anti-genocide campaign for the U.S. Congress to defeat warmongering Democratic Congressman Adam Smith.

Our demands:

👉 END the genocide Gaza — No Military Aid, No Occupation!

👉 Free Healthcare for All — Tax the Rich!

👉 We Need Rent Control — Make Corporate Landlords Pay!

Join our fight: https://t.co/HQgLKAEFlO

We need to build the strongest antiwar, anti-genocide campaign in the country to fight and DEFEAT the rich, the warmongers, and both their parties.

During my ten years as the socialist on Seattle City Council, we won historic victories: the first $15/hour minimum wage in any major city, the Amazon Tax, and historic renters’ rights.

My office went to war for working people, not corporate interests.

Let's get organized to defeat warmongering Democratic Congressman Adam Smith and elect the socialist money can’t buy to the U.S. Congress.

We have more money for cops in our subways than to invest in our infrastructure.

The neglect of our infastructure causes serious stress and exhaustion as thousands are redirected to other subway lines to get home.

Bad infrastructure is a public health and safety issue.

What's Happening?

We are investigating a loss of third rail power in the Canarsie Tube.

Planned Work Reminder:
There is no L train service between 14 St-Union Sq and 8 Av in both directions.

Aurora Shooter killed 12 - no death penalty
Parkland Shooter killed 17 including 14 kids - no death penalty
El Paso Shooter killed 22 while targeting Latinos - no death penalty

The billionaire class is shook & working hard to make an example out of Mangione for killing a CEO

This is bs. And now, thanks to Democrats, immigrants are facing even higher risk of deportation with state troopers and federal agents in our subways.

Democrats are not any different than Republicans. NY state is not safe for immigrants.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day.  

Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up.

Lol Manhattan juries are conservative and wealthy.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

24 women waited in the cold to get seats in the courtroom and while Luigi Mangione pled not guilty a crowd outside was chanting “Free Luigi!” They aren’t finding a jury of 12 to convict the patron saint of Universal Healthcare. He will be found not guilty by jury nullification.

[jax @jussjacq]

Manhattan juries are not "liberal" or left-leaning or sympathetic to the general public.

As a former NYC Aprosecutor and current criminal defense attorney - @ManhattanDA should not have any issues getting an indictment on @PepMangione .

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Look at what Israel is still doing in north Gaza with barely any media coverage and zero condemnation from Western leaders.

This is not war, it’s annihilation.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

WANTED posters of health insurance CEOs for killing and bankrupting people for profit were put up all over New York City today.

[jax @jussjacq]

Healthcare CEOs are also murderers. #CEOAssassination

[jax @jussjacq]

Managed death plans.

Health insurance is the corporatization of imperial control over our bodies to maximize capitalist extraction and maintain white supremacist population control for the luxury and domination of those at the top. #CEOAssassination

You can't expect others to show up for you if you don't show up for them.

[Danny Haiphong @GeopoliticsDH]

Don’t blame Jill Stein.

Don’t Blame Arabs or Muslims.

Don’t Blame Russia.

Kamala Harris lost because of Kamala Harris.

She lost because she offered nothing but genocide and vibes.

Dear liberals: instead of blaming others, DO BETTER
