I would like @JohnFetterman and every member of the GOP (minus Rand Paul) to explain why it's okay for Israeli terrorists to murder US citizens.
Just a few days ago, myself and several other Americans, including @CoriBush, were chased at gun point off our friend's (who is also a US citizen) land.
The next night, another US citizen was attacked at his home, his cars burned.
Why is Israeli terrorism against Americans going without investigation or consequence?
Does our country not protect us? Are we now in the business of protecting Israeli terrorists?
“It’s an open investigation, so I can’t divulge that information.”
James Freeman does the one thing cops and government employees absolutely cannot handle: he talks to them exactly the way they talk to us. Watch how fast they melt down the moment the script flips.
Political maturity is finally admitting to yourself that the angriest, most disconcerting communist you've ever met was pretty much right about everything.
If you learn enough, stay humble enough, and pay close enough attention, eventually that's what happens. You realize that, generally speaking, the really high-octane commies have the most lucid understanding of the world out of any group out there, and the only reason this wasn't always obvious to you was because you live under a capitalist power structure which aggressively indoctrinates its populace from birth into believing that communism is No No Bad Bad.
They have the most lucid and correct understanding of capitalism. They have the most lucid and correct understanding of imperialist extraction. They have the most lucid and correct understanding of western warmongering, global power dynamics, white supremacy, institutional racism and misogyny. That's why they keep being proven right, about everything from US military actions to the fascism of the far right to the abusive nature of the so-called "moderate" liberal to the moral depravity of billionaires and the capitalist class.
If you've spent your life moving in sufficiently diverse and interesting circles, you've encountered outspoken Marxists in the past. What they said may have made you uncomfortable at the time, either because you were still too indoctrinated into the worldview of the capitalist empire or because you were still too interested in youthful frivolity to grapple with the serious subjects they were discussing. And eventually you realize that the discomfort you were experiencing is called cognitive dissonance, which is what being wrong feels like.
Maybe you got annoyed because they took their politics way too seriously and made it their whole thing, constantly pointing out the injustices and abuses in whatever subject came up when you were just trying to relax and enjoy life. And eventually you realize that the only reason you were able to just drift along without thinking about politics too much was because your worldview was sufficiently aligned with the political status quo to keep you from noticing all the exploitation, oppression, injustice and propaganda which pervades every aspect of our society. You didn't notice it because it didn't clash with your understanding of the world at the time.
If you keep your mind open, keep learning about the world, stay humble enough to see your errors and course-correct accordingly, you eventually see through all those distortions and understand that you had the commies all wrong.
There are still individual communists who get things wrong of course, and like most people in this psychologically disordered world a lot of them are emotional train wrecks who still need to do a lot of inner healing. But there's no group which perceives the abusive dynamics of this civilization with a greater degree of intellectual clarity as a whole.
@dccommonsense I think we live in a two party dictatorship that was strengthened after Perot. The debate rules were changed after his run and since then we have only had a Dem or Rep able to be in the mainstream spotlight.
Tuesday night, protesters packed the City Council meeting in Surprise, Arizona, over a proposed ICE detention center. You need to hear what this man told the Council.
The bootlicking responses in this thread are even more upsetting than the photo. "He deserved it". What a bunch of authoritarian enablers.
Who knew so many Americans were so cool with authorities doing this?
Bootlicking.
BREAKING: SCOTTISH ACTIVISTS TAKE DIRECT ACTION AGAINST EDINBURGH FIRM LINKED TO GENOCIDE
Only hours into 2026, an autonomous direct action group carried out a break-in at the Bruntons Aero Products factory in Inveresk Industrial Park, Musselburgh, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Activists reportedly dismantled CNC machinery, servers, and computer equipment using hammers, paint, and fire extinguishers found on site.
Graffiti left on the walls and machinery read: “There’s only one way this ends” and “Drop Leonardo.”
The group said Bruntons was targeted due to its role in supplying Leonardo, a major international arms manufacturer. Leonardo produces laser targeting systems used in F-35 jets and supplies military equipment and training aircraft to Israel, as well as weapons systems used in conflicts across the Middle East.
Both Bruntons and Leonardo are members of ADS, the UK arms industry trade association, alongside companies such as BAE Systems, Thales, GKN, and Serco.
The action comes amid growing protest activity in Britain over Gaza. On New Year’s Eve, thousands demonstrated outside prisons in solidarity with Palestine Action prisoners, several of whom have been on hunger strike since November. As of today, Heba Muraisi has reached Day 60, with two others passing 50 days without food.
The Bruntons incident is believed to be the first pro-Palestine direct action in Britain in 2026. A spokesperson for the group described the action as part of a wider campaign targeting what they call the UK’s role in supplying weapons linked to the ongoing war in Gaza.
“Today is Day 1,” the statement said. “Free Palestine.”
POOR DONNY & VANCE. BORN WITHOUT BRAINS, HEARTS, SPINES, OR HUMAN FACES. (SAD.) SINCE I AM AMAZING (MANY SAY "BREATHTAKING") I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A GOOFY VP, HOLDING YOUR BALLOON BOSS BY HIS FEMALE ORGAN. BUT IT'S MAKING EVERYONE DRY-HEAVE. PLEASE STOP. --GCN
Chicago mother tries to deliver medicine to ICE processing facility—agent shoots "less than lethal" bullet directly into her neck.
She called ahead and was given permission—but they still refused to let her in.
"Give them the medicine for the person inside," she yells to agent when he finally opens the door—but instead he slams the door in her face.
That is when agent on rooftop fires a pepper ball—hitting the woman in her neck.
The medicine has still not yet been allowed to be delivered inside the Broadview facility. #DemsUnited
