Bernie Sanders's fight to end arms sales to Israel has been a lonely one. But suddenly, he's not so lonely.

Oh my God. Hossam is one of the few journalists who has been able to get us any information from North Gaza. Israel has been targeting and killing Palestinian (and Lebanese) journalists with impunity - they want to silence whatever information is able to get out. This is horrific & our media here is complicit in this genocide and in the targeting of these heroic journalists.

@KyleKulinski Definitely a slur worthy post from a brave progressive.

Chicanos understood the assignment.
We are not a monolith. We don’t grow up with the same lived experiences. Cubans don’t understand what it’s like to live undocumented.
Central/S. Americans have different fears than Mexicans.
Stop saying Latinos are all the same.

A CBS poll earlier this year found that 48% of Hispanics said the war on Gaza would be a "major factor" in their vote for President, more so than Black (39%) or White (34%) respondents.

64% of Hispanic respondents said Biden should stop sending weapons to Israel.

Sorry. But, you can't convince me that $25,000 for first-time home buyers, raising the minimum wage, investing in small businesses, and assistance for elder-care and childcare wasn't appealing to "working class voters." Ya'll just racist. Let's just call a spade a spade

For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender.

Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC.

She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

[Rachel Lapides @rachellapides]

There should be something just for fun on the ballot, like voting for the best flavor of ice cream . I think that would get a lot of people really excited to get involved

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

10,000 anti fascist punks are in Blackpool for Rebellion Festival. Safe to say the little Tommy lads misjudged this, like most of their pitiful life decisions. They ran away.

Moral of the story: Don’t fuck with punks, they hate the far right.

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

In order for a Democrat to become president in just a few months, they’d have to beat Kamala Harris and then Donald Trump, two extremely doable things.

Yet they may all be too chicken to even try. They don’t deserve the office in 2028 either them.

To those yelling at me on twitter: Nothing makes me more anxious than the prospect of a second Trump term. I have literally had nightmares about it 5 of the last 7 nights. I care. I flew to Michigan to campaign for Biden less than a month ago. I have campaigned and attended fundraisers for several house and senate races as well as for Biden/Harris. I care. I have flown to Kyiv twice in to raise support and awareness for Ukraine. If Biden loses to Trump Ukraine is lost to Putin. I interviewed a woman who nearly died because of Trump’s reversal of Row because of new draconian anti abortion laws. I care. I am on the advisory board of one of the most powerful climate action organizations. I am worried about the erosion of LGBTQIA rights under a second Trump administration. I care. For all of those reasons and many more, I am terribly worried about Biden staying on the ticket. All of the polls are not only showing Biden will lose but that he will drag down the house and senate with him. I happen to have a relatively loud megaphone here and I’m trying very carefully to use it to the best possible impact. I no longer believe Biden is our best shot at beating Trump. There is still time to switch candidates. It will be an uphill battle no matter what and we could very well lose in either scenario, but I believe we have a better shot with another ticket. I’m happy to talk about it civilly, but I am not a terrible person for coming to this conclusion (in spite of what some of you are saying here) I have read a great deal and spoken with congresspeople and senators and those very close to the action and those conversations and reflection have guided me to this conclusion. I’m curious, for those of you who think Biden passing the torch is a bad idea why you think that.

RNC speaker says Trump plans to round up millions of Latinos into mass detention camps as part of Project 2025: “Start packing now”

[Stacy Cay @stacycay]

“You’re making trans people panic about Donald Trump being re-elected”

Good. They should be. Update your passport, get your gender paperwork in order, tell everyone you know to vote, stockpile your HRT, stack cash, and fucking vote.

It WILL be an apocalypse if he wins.

[Olivia Messer @OliviaMesser]

this is one of those horrifyingly clear moments in history when you immediately know everything has changed but you can’t see how yet

[nikki mccann ramírez @NikkiMcR]

in the last 10 days the Supreme Court has ruled that the president can do crimes, bribery is legal, agencies have no actual authority, and also that the homeless can be thrown in prison for the crime of not having a home.

Quick history lesson about #Juneteenth ironic that this 1 and a half min video probably wouldn’t be allowed in a lot of schools across the country in 2024
