This is INSANE. Hate on Piker all you want but claiming that he admits to being an antisemite when he doesn’t, and using Congressional time to censure a Twitch streamer instead of actual GOP white supremacists like Fine and Ogles, is madness. MADNESS.
The list of human rights violations committed by the Ethiopian regime given by the EU is accurate and damning. Yet, in practice, it acts as if they did not exist. It is restoring relations with Ethiopia without any reservations. 1/2
You have to stop for a min and ask questions when you are being backed by the same media that were calling for your eradication.When the same person that was celebrating the bombardment of kindergarten in your city is telling you they know better for you kids you have to ask why
“Come back to your people”: Debretsion urges #Tigray armed groups outside region to resolve differences through dialogue
In a video message aired today, Debretsion Gebremichael (PhD), who was re-elected as president after the TPLF reinstated the region’s pre-war council, called on Tigrayans who have taken up arms outside the region and are fighting alongside “the enemy’s army” to return and pursue political differences through dialogue.
“Come back to your country, come back to your people,” Debretsion said, urging them to join existing political organizations in Tigray or present their ideas through their own platforms and seek public support through peaceful political processes.
Watch
There are two principles that the people of Tigrai will not compromise on: our constitutional and historical lands, and our right to self-determination.
The United States can help resolve the crisis in Tigrai by pressing the Ethiopian government to fully implement the Cessation
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.
Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.
He must be released.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.
I support Medicare for All. Seth Moulton doesn't.
I support taxing the rich. Seth Moulton doesn't.
We don't just need a democratic majority in Congress. We need a PROGRESSIVE majority.
That's what I'm fighting for.
AOC has spent her career taking on the powerful on behalf of everyday people, and she has shown all of us what courageous, smart, values-driven leadership looks like. I'm deeply honored to earn her endorsement. Onward to victory.

THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IS GETTING NERVOUS
The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own.
The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming. And they don’t like it.
What we saw on Tuesday in New York, what we are seeing all across the country, is that ordinary people are getting involved in the political process, are taking on establishment candidates, and are winning. What is particularly frightening to the establishment is that many of the candidates, and their supporters, are young. The future belongs to them and they want that future to look very different from what it is today.
It’s not complicated. Progressives and democratic socialists are winning elections because the vast majority of the American people understand that status quo politics and policies are not working. You don’t have to be a PhD in economics to know that in America today the very rich are getting much richer while the vast majority of our people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities — healthcare, housing, food, education and utilities. You don’t have to be a sociologist to realize that the younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents. You don’t need to be a political scientist to understand that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires and their super PACS to buy elections, undermine democracy, and protect their privileged positions.
The American people, across the political spectrum, are rejecting the establishment’s uber-capitalist ideology, value system and priorities. They want an economy and a government that works for all, not just wealthy campaign contributors.
More and more Americans refuse to accept the current reality that:
One man, Mr. Musk, owns more than three times as much wealth as the bottom half of our society. That billionaires and large profitable corporations often pay an effective tax rate lower than truck drivers or nurses. They are demanding that the billionaire class starts paying their fair share of taxes.
We are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. They want Medicare for All.
Tens of millions of workers are earning starvation wages. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.
Big Tech and the wealthiest people on earth are aggressively pushing AI and robotics, the most transformative technologies in history, without public input. They want these technologies to benefit all, not just the handful of billionaires who own the industry.
Nearly 800,000 Americans are homeless, and more than 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing. They want a freeze on rent and the construction of millions of units of low income and affordable housing.
🚨 WOW! Mayor Mamdani exposes a massive betrayal.
He confirms Washington greenlights billions for Netanyahu's wars while telling struggling New Yorkers there is zero money for rent.
He reveals the working class is completely fed up with this corrupt status quo.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
