Biden has slandered a protest in Los Angeles as “violent” and “anti-Semitic”. But video shows the pro-Israel side was extremely violent. The protest was held outside a real estate event selling homes in occupied Palestine.
Isn’t it wild we have a system where a doctor can go “this person needs such and such procedure done” and then some insurance middleman can go “nahhh they don’t bc we don’t want to pay for it”?
BREAKING: The White House just released an immigration proposal that would increase mandatory detention and create a new system allowing mass deportations without due process.
Just heard about a 28 year old bartender in Boston who killed himself because his medical bills were approaching $100,000. No, we won’t “give it a rest already”. And frankly you should get over yourself.
❌ universal healthcare
❌ livable wages
❌ affordable housing
❌ low-cost childcare
❌ relieving the burden of student debt
✅ banning TikTok bc young people are hearing narratives that run contrary to what the State Dept, Pentagon, and corporate elites want them to hear

Fetterman is the perfect example of why we can’t simply vote away fascism in a bourgeois political system. No matter how many “progressives” we get in there, they will inevitably conform to whatever is necessary to stay in office. Which is being a servant to power & capital.

Of course Mr Self Righteous Atheist here goes out of his way to defend a fundamentalist Christian’s bigotry and misogyny. Bill, we get it. You’re a cunt.
I can’t with the liberals anymore, man. I can’t. Right wingers are proud and unapologetic about their awfulness. Liberals want you to believe they’re not awful as they condone and rationalize some of the most cruel and horrific acts imaginable. That’s worse.
My wife and I were selected for the City of Los Angeles’ Emergency Rental Assistance Program. I provided all necessary documents & assumed we were good to go for September. Just found out TODAY we’re ineligible bc my corporate landlord can simply OPT OUT of the program. Unreal.
White liberals are so predictable, man. The way they pretend to be “progressives” and the way they use black women when it’s convenient politically. The most progressive candidate was a black woman. And who did they rally behind? A centrist white man. And a Zionist, naturally.
Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces struck targets in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack U.S. forces.
We do not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.
But to all those who seek to do us harm: We will respond.
Right before Iowa, Bernie became a secret sexist. The day before Nevada, he’s a Russian asset. What will he become the day before Super Tuesday? Wrong answers only.
1. No one is gravitating towards Trump over “this one issue”, you idiot. Trump is also a bloodthirsty Zionist.
2. “This one issue” is fucking GENOCIDE. Does that mean anything to you
@SethMacFarlane
?
and
3. Fuck Bill Maher.
To the young voters gravitating to Donald Trump over Israel-Palestine: "You’re giving up on everything that supposedly is important to you and putting it all on the line for this one issue."

Genocide Joe said it himself in 1986 about Israel:
“It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
I know corporate media likes to erase Bernie’s massive Latinx support but let me tell you right now right here at his L.A. rally, his Latinx support is strong
#BernieInLA
I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that at this moment in history, this era of Black Lives Matter and Me Too, the Democrats have chosen to nominate an architect of mass incarceration who is also credibly accused of rape. Absolutely unreal.

I’m sorry to say a family member passed away this morning. After undergoing back surgery, he was released from the hospital in Las Vegas prematurely because his workmen’s comp insurance company refused to pay for a longer stay. Anyone not demanding m4a at this point is complicit.
understaffing
mass incarceration
prison labor exploitation
allowing a deadly virus to ravage a population
all of these things are done to serve capital.
I’m sure many of you already know about Bob’s Red Mill, but I just saw CBS News do a feature on company founder Bob Moore. This is a guy who has refused to sell his $100 million company several times because he’s GIVING IT TO HIS EMPLOYEES, who now own it.
Joe Biden spoke for 7 minutes in front of about 500 people in St. Louis today.
Bernie Sanders spoke for 40 minutes in front of about 15,000 people in Chicago today.
These things might seem superficial, but they will matter in a general election against Donald Trump.

Fuck you

Fuck you

Fuck every member of our bought-and-paid-for city council, including our councilman
@MitchOFarrell

Fuck congressional leadership (of both parties) for allowing PUA to expire.
And, most importantly, fuck you Excel Residential Services
Fuck the Democrats for continuing to churn out absolutely worthless right wingers like Amy McGrath who they use as a fundraising candidate w no intention of actually winning while they shun viable progressives like Charles Booker. Mitch McConnell will not lose to Amy McGrath.
So now the rent we don’t have is due, and for over a month we’ve been under the impression that
@LACity
was going to pay it.
This amount of disdain this shithole country has for its poorest citizens will never cease to amaze me.
Am I missing something or are Biden and Harris doing absolutely nothing right now to increase pressure on Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on $2000 survival checks?
Still can’t believe a guy called THE MAD KING whose reign started benevolently before he succumbed to the madness caused by his incestuous lineage had a daughter who did the exact same thing o wait yes I can because it’s been foreshadowed the entire series
Basically the entire program was another neoliberal sham: a landlord bailout program that they could easily opt-out of if they simply didn’t want to accept the basic tentant protections that came with it. And our landlord is far more interested in evicting us than accepting them.
democratic socialists are killing it in New York and Chicago, but LA is still represented top-to-bottom by (as Dr. West would say) milquetoast neoliberals. we need to change this.
For some godforsaken reason, sending a cash payment to the tenant is not an option under the ERAS program, so tenants are completely at the mercy of their landlord. And my corporate landlord, Excel Residential Services, is as cruel and sociopathic and you’d expect.
To be clear: our landlord would have been paid the rent IN FULL by the City of LA w federal stimulus money by now. But they decided NO, they would rather evict us & profit off it. I want everyone who reads this to think very critically about the system that allows this to happen.
Arthur James Balfour was an antisemite who supported the creation of a Jewish ethnostate in an overwhelmingly Arab majority land because he didn’t want Jews immigrating to the UK
But don’t let that stop the New York Times from New York Timesing
Do I think Tucker Carlson is actually “on board” with democratic socialism? Nah. But Dr. West shows how the left can reach people on the right by speaking to the material conditions of the working class. Something liberals have proven themselves incapable of doing.
When asked about US voters upset with the choice between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton says:
"Get over yourself. Those are the two choices."
Really glad to see she's learned lessons from her 2016 defeat then!
One cool thing about marching in L.A. is if you see some random white dude in a Costa Rica t-shirt filming the protest, it might just be
@wwwbigbaldhead
The French do not fuck around when it comes to protesting. It’s in their DNA and it gets results. They have labor protections and social safety nets we only dream of in America, yet they’re still *constantly* protesting and striking. We could learn a thing or two from them.
