One of the biggest Zionists on cable “news”, Dana Bash, was just confronted by protesters for refusing to stand up to Israel for murdering over 260 Palestinian journalists. This is how it’s done. No peace for these genocide enablers.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the people who did this walk among us. we are rehabilitating those in the biden admin who facilitated this already. the trump admin is continuing it. the triggermen get to roam our streets and those who demand accountability for this heinous crime are treated like criminals.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

Israel is still murdering Palestinian journalists, and Western journalists remain silent. This has been happening for years, and they continue to look the other way while pretending to value freedom of the press.

Growing up, a hit song crossed demographics whether the genre was your favorite or not. People who don’t primarily listen to country still know Dolly, Shania, Carrie, The Chicks, etc. because they made actual hit records that crossed over. If a song can spend 23 weeks at #1, breaking records that stood for 20+ years, while a huge portion of the public is sincerely saying they’ve never heard it, maybe the conversation isn’t “people hate country.” Maybe @RollingStone should be writing about how streaming-era chart dominance no longer equals cultural dominance because there’s some trickery at play. That’s the real story being avoided. Don’t gaslight us.

Ed Sheeran's support acts are withdrawing from his tour en masse.

This is such an important moment.

Israel's champions depend on a climate of fear.

Every person with a platform who speaks out strikes a blow against the fear.

Macklemore "every child deserves to live"

Ed Sheeran "this is hurtful to a lot of people"

this feels too important to get lost

Macklemore just summed it all up perfectly:

“I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.
The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone.”

Enough is enough. Stop the genocide and stop the assault on free speech that Israel is waging to silence any and all criticism of its barbaric policies.

The right answer to this question is:

“How many minors have received transgender surgeries in the United States per year? (Studies estimate a few hundred). How many total surgeries are performed in the United States each year? (It’s tens of millions)

That’s, most generously to conservatives (500/10 million), five-thousandths of one percent.

Should the federal government spend its time legislating on, or even discussing, an issue affecting five-thousandths of one percent of surgical patients when more than 20 million are uninsured entirely and 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck?”

Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces a first-of-its-kind office focused on organizing workers in New York City.

The Mayor’s Office of Worker Power will provide workers with resources needed to organize their workplaces, hold public hearings on major worker issues, and more.

Thinking the phrase "Free Palestine" is anti-Jewish is just like thinking "Black Lives Matter" is anti-white.

If you see another person's freedom as a threat to you in any way that's your problem.

El-Sayed: You propose a program, and very serious people will look at you and say, “How are you going to pay for that?” You know what they never ask a general who wants to send your tax dollars abroad or go to war in a place like Iran?

“General, how are you going to pay for that?”

I think it is time for our U.S. Senate and everybody in a position of power to be asking that general, “How are you going to pay for that in an America where too few people get the healthcare they need and deserve?”

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am.

I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools.

I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

watch how easily the right wing hate machine turns whatever it wants into a target of unlimited enmity.

they can't run on their policies because they're destroying the american working class.

all they have is hate and division. when we are divided, we are weak.

“nazis got off relatively unpunished for the holocaust while palestinians ended up paying for it despite having nothing to do with it” is not antisemitic, it’s factual and obvious

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Don’t let them re-write history: Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset who was tasked with subverting the feminist movement away from class-based analysis.

She founded the Independent Research Service that was funded by the CIA to spread anti-communist propaganda at youth festivals abroad.

When she was exposed as a CIA operative in 1967, Steinem confirmed her role to The New York Times without apology, claiming the CIA is “liberal, nonviolent, and honorable” and that she would do it again.

The CIA is one of the most violent organizations in history.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide prevention is affordable housing. Suicide prevention is free healthcare. Suicide prevention is free education. Suicide prevention is food security. Suicide prevention is financial stability. Therapy can’t fix the system.
