As soon as we antizionists can take down Dems who are pro-israel - a tall order, but not impossible - the US will stop vetoing UN resolutions and the world will deliver justice. Soon. Then, truth and reconciliation commission, one democratic secular state of Palestine, return of refugees, and peace.

I don't understand how the majority of people agree that Israel committed genocide but Zionists are still welcome everywhere (like on this app). After the Holocaust people at least pretended for a few years that Nazi were not welcome

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Not a single state has a minimum wage that meets the cost of living for a single person in a one-bedroom apartment.
Not. A. Single. State.
And we have people who legally earn less than minimum wage because of their jobs (waiters) or disabilities.

so many people tweeting "how are 40 million Americans on food stamps"
the supplemental poverty rate is ~12% and there are ~350 million people here, do the math
why does nobody google even the most basic facts about reality man

I love that Mamdani expressed some honest statements about how insanely Islamophobic this country was following 9/11 and conservatives are like “Oh was that the tragedy of 9/11??? Also you’re brown”. Same as it ever was. Anyway the lesson is keep telling the truth instead of doing a Beer Summit

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.
The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

I’m supposed to immediately cancel the anti-establishment economic populist with a checkered past as working class dude but I’m supposed to excuse Biden, the president/party leader who enacted some of the most racist, sexist, zionist, corporate enabling policy of the past 40 years. Got it.

Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.
He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.
But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.

if you’re going to talk about constraints placed on the CIA by Congress you might want to note that the CIA has been found to be hiding operations from Congress and also spying on Congress
Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*

Everything the rich have ever wanted is being delivered, a further weakened labor movement, a gutted regulatory regime, a public sector being strangled in a puddle. The rest was hokum invented by academic scribblers searching for a logical rationale for the rich to be more dominant.
I'm totally baffled abt the markets. Where is Capital? Trump is messing w/ govt data; imposing tariffs; flirting w/ default; meddling in corporate management.
Where are the CEO complaints? The bond vigilantes? Where are billionaire hedge funders who trade on good data? Was Capital's power a mirage?
