What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...

Pro-Israel PACs threw $46M into Haley "Israel comes to me in my dreams"/"I will continue to fight for the people of Israel!" Stevens' primary campaign. She was endorsed by Schumer, Pelosi, Gillibrand, Whitmer, & Clyburn. She lost. May their support be as fruitful in future. #MoneyOutOfPolitics

"A huge moment in our country." Former Michigan Congressmember Andy Levin, who lost to Haley Stevens in a 2022 House race that included a flood of AIPAC spending against him, responds to Tuesday's Democratic primary results in the state.

If the majority of the people don't want: Utilities and power in the hands of the private sector Private healthcare companies rather than a funded NHS Data Centres Israel committing genocide Then Who tf is the government representing?

@rokhanna.bsky.social: "Hey, Dan, let me give you a tip: PRETEND to care about Palestinians, say that you oppose the genocide. Or at least that Israel is overreacting. The political wind is blowing in a different direction now. If you want progressive votes, don't be so obvious about your Zionism."

Dan Goldman is having an argument with Ro Khanna. Goldman is alluding to why he lost his primary, but isn’t saying it directly.

Daniel Goldman t @danielsgoldman

“This is wrong @RoKhanna. All three of us who lost in NYC had very progressive records (including supporting Medicare for All) and we all had the overwhelming support of actual working families - labor unions, public housing residents and immigrant communities. That's because we all have gone to battle for those communities and offered practical and meaningful solutions that could actually get passed in a system that requires bipartisanship.”

Life Support is one of the most important documentaries you’ll see this year. Proud to have joined the Q&A after the Birmingham screening alongside director Daniele Rugo, whose work documents the testimony of doctors who witnessed genocide in Gaza firsthand.

Slavery "officially ended", but the "freed" slaves had to work without pay for 4 more years. [From replies]: The British government continued to pay compensation to the descendants of slaveholder families until (wait for it...) 2015! Compensation for not being to treat human beings as possessions.

#OtD 1 Aug 1834 slavery in the British Caribbean officially ended, and the 800,000 enslaved were "freed". Govt compensated former owners, at taxpayers' expense, paying them £20 million, and the enslaved were forced to work for free for four more years stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8043...
