A massive win in the face of mountains of corporate PAC/AIPAC cash no matter the margin
I hate it here, but I can’t afford to move all my people out the damn state with me! 🤦🏽👎🏾
New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo
She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.
Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

99% of self proclaimed two staters in US politics effectively support this and yet wonder why the two state paradigm is dead and without ability among a wide swath of young people.
Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
It’s being reported that the U.S. will be escalating their military operations in Iran, threatening to attack infrastructure and civilian structures alike tonight. The only thing I hate working overnights on Saturdays is being the 1st to see the reports of more war crimes made with our tax dollars.
Ms. Rachel expresses support for Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, Justin Pearson, Jarrett Keohokalole, Peggy Flanagan, Becca Balint, William Lawrence, Elijah Manley, Troy Jackson, Donavan McKinney, Oliver Larkin, and Angie Nixon. "These are some folks I believe care about all kids."
I cannot emphasize enough times to enough people that Zohran Mamdani was asked approximately 106,437,592,841 times in 2025 if he thought Israel has "the right to exist", to which he replied "yes, with equal rights for all" and all 106,437,592,841 times the people who asked took that as a "no".
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 6d agoAbdul was asked the does Israel have a right question four times in a row on CNN and he kept saying he thinks Palestinians and Jews have the right to self-determination and they wouldn't accept it as an answer. Makes you wonder what the question actually means!
Rank & File members of the local Teamsters 767 in DFW are raising funds to get their coworkers to TDU Convention 2026! I see this as an investment in the local movement to send more rank & file members to conferences they can hone their organizing skills at. Let’s get these workers to Chicago! ✊🏾
Congresswoman Stevens has received $47,500 from DTE.
The Democratic Party clinging on to a relationship with Israel shows how much they have yet to learn about their missteps in 2024. The party’s approval rating is on par with Trump’s.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · last wk.2028 presidential contender Senator Mark Kelly says he is "always going to stand by (our ally) Israel" on Sunday's Meet the Press at NBC. He denies the Gaza genocide, says Bibi made "some mistakes" and criticizes Mamdani for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.
Anybody who calls another person "a traitor to the West" is off their rocker, unless it is in reference to LeBron leaving the Lakers and going to Philly.

Cockroach Democracy: Unarmed and Dangerous
Can all the people be fooled all the time? Can a country with a population of a billion-and-a-half be dragged around like a corpse forever? It cannot. The Cockroaches are out and about.

Don’t know why the state fed would accept a collaboration with a video featuring me and then hide it from their profile. Why even accept the collab? I only realized they were tagged a day after the video dropped 😂
Hey Michigan folks — it kinda seems like this should matter
Why are central labor bodies/area labor federations using AI to promote their events?!?!? SMMFH! 🤦🏽
Repost 🎥: @labor-on-the-line.bsky.social Houstonians are hitting the streets to demand justice for Lorenzo, ICE out of Houston, and ICE out of everywhere! As ICE terrorizes communities across the country with the backing of Trump and the billionaires, people are building a movement to stop them.
Having been a delegate myself back in 2022, I witnessed first-hand a lot of the critiques Chris Townsend mentions in his analysis of the convention in Minneapolis. Sadly, the tone in which Chris explains the decay was clear as day to me 4 years earlier. mltoday.com/the-mummific...
