1st let me thank We Act Radio indie revolutionary kind of journalism is important to help balance out this other stuff. - Marion Barry Get Your #fucktrump shirt
Trump's corrupt Supreme Court majority has decided that our Haitian and Syrian neighbors' lives are disposable. Families who have built their lives here deserve safety, not fear. Congress must act now: protect TPS, pass the Haitian TPS Resolution, and restore dignity to our immigrant neighbors.
Ta-Nehisi Coates: “I don’t know how you remain consistent by claiming an anti-apartheid legacy here in the United States of America while enforcing it abroad.”
Coates told Chris Hayes that the Democratic Party cannot continue avoiding the issue of Gaza and Palestine, saying the party is already facing a political and moral reckoning ahead of 2028.
The fear mongering isn’t gonna work anymore. Shame on Democrats using hate and racism and divide and conquer bullying tactics. The people see through you. It will not work anymore!
Next up is @melatkirosco on June 30th! Go to her website and sign up for a phone bank! She has run an extraordinary campaign. Let’s help push her across the finish line! Let’s win baby!
We are unlocking the political imagination of the American people!
Ta-Nehisi Coates: Future Congresswoman Chevalier represents actual voters. A district filled with black and brown people. And what James Carville is saying is a “statement on how he feels about black and brown people, and the fact that they are useful to him when they vote the way that he agrees with. When they don’t, kick them out of the party. They don’t deserve representation.”
Coates said the Democratic Party “owes its very present existence to the Black freedom struggle.” “Is it actually honoring the core morality and principles of that struggle?” he asked.
TA-NEHISI COATES: “@DarializaforNY was elected by a district of Black and Brown voters. @JamesCarville is saying they’re useful to him when they vote the way he agrees with — When they don’t, kick them out of the party… it’s not good for democracy.”
Ryan Grim tells Rep. Adriano Espaillat there would have been no primary challenge if he had simply “called out the genocide and told AIPAC to F off.”
Espaillat was also heckled by a resident of New York’s 13th Congressional District, which covers Upper Manhattan, including Harlem, and parts of the western Bronx, over his campaign advisor’s racist rhetoric toward Mamdani-backed Democratic socialist challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier.

A pro-Israel candidate for Congress in San Francisco says she spoke to an AIPAC donor on May 18, who told her that while Wiener was saying publicly that Israel had committed a genocide in Gaza, privately he assured him he didn’t mean it
@stockbella@cenkuygur Obsessed with an Apartheid gov't that receives more US federal AID than any country in the world while they provide their citizens w/ #freehealthcare subsidized housing & education non of which US taxpayers have? Oh... & they started a war w/ #Iran & dragged the US into
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
I’m truly humbled to have the endorsement of icon, actress, author, and activist Jenifer Lewis as I run to return to Congress and keep fighting for St. Louis’ families!
In this moment where our voting rights and our Democracy are under attack, our movement to fight back against Trump and deliver for STL grows every day.
It's great to have such a strong fighter joining us.
"What we're fighting for is not on the ballot, & thus, yes, we can play the lesser of two evils. Yes, we can dance with the possibility of hope. I side-eye hope, because I think that hope is weaponized. Audre Lorde has a poem, which she says, 'hope is counter-revolutionary, pressure cooks. Pressure cooks.' And the things that I see as necessary and possible is not even rooted in hope." @SaulWilliams
If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery.
If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal.
That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.
.@BootsRiley talking about reporting in the Intercept that showed Police Departments/Unions switching from defensive to offensive messaging in the wake of George Floyd's murder and fabricating crime panic stories like "CVS's in the Bay Area are closing because of shoplifting" narratives that helped inspire I Love Boosters #ILoveBoosters

Congrats to Israel, they killed another peace deal. We were at 95% done. After Puppet Trump talked to Netanyahu, he came out with new completely unrealistic demands:
1. Israel doesn't have to abide by the peace deal and can keep attacking Lebanon. So, only a ceasefire for one side.
2. We have to take out all the enriched uranium on day one, not in the second stage.
3. All Middle Eastern countries have to betray the Palestinians and sign Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel without ending the occupation.
These are purposely impossible, so that the war continues. And Israel is bombing Lebanon heavily now to try to reignite the war.
They are not our allies, Israel is a terrorist government which has captured our government and media. They're using it to drive permanent war that Americans are forced to pay for.
So the feds are dropping charges against the Israeli citizen caught in Las Vegas with an illegal biolab, after he was caught in LA with an illegal biolab https://t.co/4KAU8mbNNB
