This is incredibly disturbing. The number of cases in Mississippi alone of Black people who met their deaths in dubious/highly suspicious ways, only for authorities to shrug it off and do a piss poor job if investigating...there are so many names

This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?

the thing that scares the middle and right so much about DSA is that they don't believe in oligarchy. the idea that the richest have not earned the right to govern the rest of us is the thing that makes them furious.

We raised $5,252.50. A note from my Haitian friend to all who supported: "My gratitude toward you is immense; I realize that your humanity goes far beyond your usual nature. What you have done for me will remain forever etched in my heart. A simple "thank you" seems quite insufficient. 1/

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

The "Israel causes divides" narrative only makes sense if the Division in question is how PEOPLE have one view, while POLITICIANS insist on the contrary. On every single poll — genocide; aid to Israel; arresting Netanyahu — there's no inscrutable Division. It's all pretty clear!

Americans believe Israel is committing genocide in Palestine by a +19 margin Total: 43-24 Black: 51-9 Hispanic 42-16 Harris voters: 72-7 Independents: 45-16 22% of Trump voters as well Only some two dozen Democrats & two ex/outgoing Republicans (MTG & Massie) call it genocide

At some point someone is going to hold these people accountable; I hope this is the first of many rats to jump ship. The atrocities committed to our friends, neighbors, and fellow Americans has to stop. lataco.com/ice-death-tr...

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.
