Things are about to get harder and the regime is going to double down on attacking and targeting vulnerable people. Get yourself prepared to stand between the fascists and the people they would hurt.

The word “Semite” was also a word coined in alleged scientific thought that was deeply rooted in racism. Let’s try and avoid using this logic to call for Palestinian liberation because we just enable the circle of normalizing racism.

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

The Democrats make perfect sense when you stop seeing them as a political party, and view them instead as a business venture that provides political entertainment, but with a clear profit motive

No. If we just focus on voter capture and not actual movement building how will labor organize to make demands We need to be building socialist, independent working class power that makes demands from outside liberal electoral coalitions. We need to be thinking about that always. Not just later

AI video stupidity is really lowering the tone in this place

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

Jennifer Lawrence “What is happening in Palestine is nothing less than genocide and it’s unacceptable.”

For people in Europe, one of the most important objectives for political mobilisation now is to remove the US military bases. They are a menace to humanity, they are a threat to popular sovereignty, and every one of them must be closed.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

America First as a slogan started with the Klu Klux Clan senator. It's always been rooted in racism. Its been a white supremacist dog whistle the whole time and you need to start treating it as such

ICE is alive and well in Los Angeles, aided and abetted by the County, and the City. They're trafficking people, who increasingly have nothing left to lose. part 1

If you or someone you know lives in Everett WA, there are several ICE vehicles patrolling Casino Square NOW, assumed to be watching for targets There are a few responders monitoring but ~8 vehicles in the area circling the Casino Square area, and concerns they may disburse into the community

All told, US taxpayers funded $17.8 billion in arms sales to Israel under President Joe Biden—$11.9 billion government-brokered and $5.9 billion commercial—81% of the $22 billion in sales from 2021-2024, writes @stephensemler.bsky.social.

US Taxpayers Are Funding the Gift Card Israel Uses to Buy US Weapons

​Four years of arms sales data tell the same story: Israel doesn’t pay for most of the weapons the US sells it—US taxpayers do.

He sent 14,000 mk84 2,000lb bombs right at the start of the genocide. There was no non-genocidal use for those in Gaza. He knew Israel would use them on civilian infrastructure. He was fully aware of the Dahiya doctrine. He let Israel starve Gaza He let Israel block medical supplies

Israel is destroying the homes of 600,000 innocent people in southern Lebanon, you soulless ghoul.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

San Diego woman says her credit card information was stolen while she was in ICE custody

Hanne Engan, whom ICE arrested at her green card appointment, said her diabetes quickly escalated while at Otay Mesa Detention Center due to medical negligence. Written by Kate Morrissey, Edited...

I would add that liberalism handed the reigns over to neoliberalism, which is basically covering fascist economics with a liberal veneer, before losing the reigns of power to fascism proper.

time and time again, liberalism gives way to fascism. why does this happen? @jasonhickel.bsky.social explains:

Trump acts as if war is a game, soldiers are pawns and lives of innocent people are just collateral damage. When will this stop.

The Christian nationalist antisemitism is one of the most undercovered and misunderstood dynamics in this whole movement. The support Israel branding is entirely transactional. Israel has to exist for the Rapture to happen, Jews have to be there, and then they either convert or die in the End Times.

And here my argument is made explicit. The "big tent" only means moving to the right, it does not include the left.

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · 8mo ago

This is precisely why the “big tent” concept is a red herring that only serves as a force of conservatism. A big tent means inviting reactionaries and expecting everyone on the left to just eat shit because where else are we going to go?

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
