This sudden shift is insane.
Why preemptively endorse her for 2028? She had to drop out of the primary in 2020 because she was polling like 5th in CA as a CA Senator. And she was only the candidate in 2024 because she was selected by the establishment w/out a primary.
Democratic @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani promised during his campaign that he would arrest Netanyahu if he set foot in NYC. Since then, Mamdani has abandoned this promise, and recently announced that he will not be joining the protest campaign against Netanyahu.
Instead, under Mamdani's leadership, the NYPD is arresting antiwar activists protesting Netanhayu. This is a horrific betrayal of the antiwar movement and the Palestinian people.
Mamdani also re-hired Zionist and billionaire heir Jessica Tisch as NYPD Commissioner and endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for re-election and Congressmember Hakeem Jeffries for U.S. House Speaker, both of whom are arch Zionist Democrats.
The strategy of putting faith in the Democratic Party or in DSA's elected Democrats is a dead end for the antiwar movement. @wrkrsstrikeback is calling for a new antiwar working class party.
- Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes!
- End all military aid to Israel! Permanent arms embargo on Israel now!
- End the genocide in Gaza and brutal occupation of Palestinian lands!
- Build an independent antiwar working-class party!
Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.
So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.
Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."
Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.
If you needed more proof that the political class is one big gaslighting machine, just consider that while almost nobody in America can afford anything, both parties are non-ironically trying to turn a national election into a referendum on a Twitch streamer
Mamdani, currently the most prominent public figure of the Democratic Socialists of America, continues to support genocidal Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House if the Democrats win a majority.
Mamdani maintains this position even though Jeffries has been further exposed recently over a private meeting with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner to see "how Democrats and the [Trump] administration could work together."
The Democratic Party simply offers NO WAY FORWARD for our movements to win victories for working people, defeat Trump and the right wing, and end the genocide and occupation. The DSA leadership's project of trying to launder the Democratic Party's reputation and build up their own track record of betrayals is a total dead end.
We need a new party of, by, and for the working class - one that will build fighting movements against the billionaires and to bring down BOTH of their parties.
Before Luigi Mangione is sentenced, the judge should hear a read out of the names of every American who has died because of our profit-obsessed insurance system in the past 12 months. That's 114,000 names so it might take a while.
Don't surrender to the sheepdogs trying to stuff you back into the Democratic Party.
America is sick of oligarchy, endless war, genocide & the duopoly enabling it all.
Demand ranked choice voting, proportional rep, publicly funded elections, & parties not funded by billionaires!
An American surgeon's voice breaks as he retells how he amputated the leg of a 5 year old girl in Gaza without anesthesia. The only anesthesia was the doctor singing to her.
"The ER floors was filled with dozens of babies that were missing limbs."
This is Israel's genocide.
A new study confirms that Medicare for All would save 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by more than $1 trillion annually.
Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All.
What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed.
The last 150 beagles were rescued from Ridglan today.
Ten years ago, we promised that all the thousands of tortured pups at Ridglan would be freed. Today, we kept that promise.
But there’s much more work to be done. Thousands of dogs remain trapped in lab cages. And there are crucial events coming up—the Save the Dogs summit in Madison, WI on Sept 4-6 and the March to Abolish Animal Testing from Sept 12-26—that we need everyone to be a part of.
We’ve got a chance to make history. Let’s seize it—and give every dog like James the chance to grow old with loving families.
Totally inexcusable that Bernie and AOC failed to back Hong. If she loses narrowly it will be a major setback for the socialist movement that they will bear major responsibility for.
I can't believe people are really talking about AOC as a left presidential contender when on the eve of a critical primary she decided to produce a totally irrelevant news story about her parenting choices instead of backing the socialist
Nobody wants to see Bambi get hunted
Nobody wants humans to ruin the chickens escape plan in Chicken Run
Nobody wants Nemo to get caught by the scuba divers
Nobody wants Babe to be cooked by the farmer
Be the change you need to see in this world

Fight alongside my campaign for Congress to defeat the billionaire class and end the cost-of-living crisis tens of millions of us face.

👉 Free healthcare for all

👉 A public-sector living-wage jobs guarantee
If you've had it with the non profit industrial complex, the military industrial complex & the neoliberal duopoly, help Kshama defeat a leading proponent of genocide! https://t.co/xR9a705qr1
Planned Parenthood Action Fund has endorsed my opponent, Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith, who has voted for tens of billions of dollars for the genocide in Gaza and voted to ban United Nations food assistance to Gaza.
It is estimated that women and girls account for 67 percent of the Palestinians killed so far in the genocide.
From the U.N. website: "The United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, has said that the scale and nature of the crimes inflicted on Palestinian women and girls by Israeli forces are so extreme that existing concepts in legal and criminal frameworks can no longer adequately describe or capture them.
How is it that Planned Parenthood has endorsed someone who is funding a genocide?
If reading this makes you angry, join us in our campaign to defeat Adam Smith. Help us GET OUT THE VOTE for the August 4th primary election. I am an independent antiwar socialist fighting to end all military aid to Israel, for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich, and for national rent control. https://t.co/sh3zyhgTI7
