A lot of people will shit on the NDP and Jagmeet Singh, but he is a good stand-up guy and that counts for something in politics. He may never be PM but he is someone I can show my son as a good role model in Canadian politics. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #canadavotes

Autogenocide is the engineered & coerced self-destruction: of bodies, minds, ecosystems, and futures. This graphic shows how systems create environments of daily fear, anxiety, and desperation - through toxic systems that deny care, weaponize poverty, and normalize mass death.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

People keep ignoring that a big part of the definition of “COMMUNITY” is sharing common ATTITUDES, interests, and goals. You coming over this side after realizing oppression affected you ain’t based in community at all.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony.

Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

I am Jewish and I call for an end to the violence in Gaza. That doesn’t make me antisemitic. My Jewish soul compels me to call for an end to the violence. It compels me to speak out when my country adds even more trauma by arresting and deporting people.

Not in my name. 4/4

It's so easy to lose hope when you read news headlines and hear combative commentary. That is why books are so important. They are windows to worlds unseen and realities yet to be created.

And people are READING. They're reading a lot. A very very hopeful sign. #librarysky #booksky

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Trump is so utterly compromised that it beggars belief that the security apparatus turned a blind eye when he turned up as a presidential candidate. Not once but twice. The rot runs deep.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
