It’s not too difficult to not want 2.2 million people to die — half of them being children.
You’re either asking the government to tell Israel to immediately end the siege on Gaza, or you’re advocating for genocide. It’s that simple.
In 2016 a woman protested a Trump event. As she was getting evicted from the ballroom, someone yelled at her “You're an animal, get a job!”
She went on and got a job in 2018 as the Representative of the MI District with the largest Dem win margin, sending Trump into retirement.
In 2016 a woman tried to vote for Bernie Sanders in New York’s primary, on April 19.
She wasn’t able to because NY had removed her Dem affiliation AND the registration deadline was OCTOBER of 2015.
She went on and got elected to Congress in 2018, and now is known as
@AOC

If after tonight's display you don't think the

Here’s the video of then-State Representative

Let’s elect more Rashidas.
There are 38 Democrats in Kentucky’s House of Representatives.
18 of them — including the Dem Leader, the Dem Caucus Chair, and the Dem Whip — endorsed
@Booker4KY
in the Democratic Primary.
This is no fluke. Charles Booker is a powerful unifier that can defeat Mitch McConnell.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if all the progressive energy that rallied behind

@ShahidForChange
(with 125 days to go, in a tiny 38 sq. mi. land area), we could retire an entrenched 37-year incumbent.
Somehow this armed anti-BLM protester who trained his weapon onto an entire crowd ended up subdued by a police element who did not automatically lodge seven bullets in his back
@ndrew_lawrence
Post the full video tho, Andrew.
Very clearly, Smalls managed the interview really well. He knows fully where Carson stands; and he knows that here in Staten Island a large portion of the population watch that show. Smalls was able to talk directly to that audience.
Okay, the full video is here at the 25 minute point. The pictures being used by Tucker want to make it all about AOC, but Smalls instantly responds by saying it wasn't just AOC and basically every politician abandoned him and he has no ill will.
The Palestinian people make up one of the largest refugee groups in the world, according to the United Nations.
They are stateless, their identity not defined by specific borders, but rather tied together by a collective longing for a place to call home.

The average monthly payment for student debt is $393.
Canceling the debt of 45 million people would mean an injection of $17,685,000,000 directly into our communities.
EVERY. MONTH.
Pardoning debt IS a jobs program and a complete stimulus tide that lifts all boats.

Mexico’s Supreme Court has voted to officially decriminalize abortion, paving the path for legalization nationwide.
The Court is comprised of 11 Justices who are term-limited to 15 years, allowing for progress to flourish.
It’s time,

“Their Health Ministry numbers can’t be trusted.”
“Also we have confirmed kills that match exactly their Health Ministry numbers. Ah yes they were all terrorists btw.”
Imagine getting so pissed off you go on and defeat a 20-year incumbent — who happens to be President of your Burrough and heir-apparent to Speaker of the House — by 13%.

Not only did Trump incite a seditious riot on the Capitol meant to subvert the results of the election — and in the process murder VP Pence.
He also paid $2.7 million for this to take place.
The Senate needs to convict immediately, and Congress must expel involved electeds.
NEW: former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign disclosed paying people & firms behind the January 6 rally before rioters stored the US Capitol *OVER $2.7 MILLION*—but secretive shell companies & "dark money" hide details of Trump ties to those protests
We have distributed 1,500 face masks to the unhoused in Los Angeles.
The need is overwhelming.
Every dollar = one more vulnerable person given safety = one saved life.

The Dem leadership in Nevada, fearing they’d lose control of the state chair, transferred out $450k dollars from its funds, effectively leaving the incoming — and more progressive — leadership without money sorely needed to defend incumbents
This is disgusting
Correction: The $450K was vamoosed from the party closer to the state chair election.
They knew they were underdogs all along in the state chair race. So they were clearly making plans for the last few months to work outside the party apparatus if their candidate lost.
Democratic Party polls over the last few months have begun to show that a growing number of people prefer a generic Dem over incumbent Joe Biden.
The generic Dem:
I’m extremely worried that now that Bernie is a millionaire he’ll use all his money and influence to elect candidates who will *checks notes*
😐 Make college tuition-free
😓 End Citizens United
😖 Enact the Green New Deal
😱 Reform our immigration system
🤯 Abolish cash bail

Furthermore, during training in hand-to-hand combat, one of the first — and most emphasized — things mentioned is that the application of a chokehold can result in incapacitation and death. This is not something Penny didn’t know could happen.

A person is filming police during the demonstration in San José.
As he walks from left to right, one of the police officers shoots his weapon in the person’s direction.
The person walks towards the officers, cellphone in hand. Officers begin attacking him.

This absolute badass spent six hours yesterday fundraising on behalf of families facing food insecurity and eviction.
She used her platform to raise $200,000 — and the need still exist, so please consider chipping in if you’re able to.
Trump campaign is giving away free yard signs and would be an absolute shame if millions of shitposters and TikTok teens claimed theirs and made his campaign spend tens of millions of dollars mailing them… through the USPS.

The situation at the border is dire for families seeking asylum, and Biden needs to let them in immediately.
Shelters are at capacity and lacking PPE. So I’m heading to TJ/MXL with 3,000 masks, but we also need to send thousands more to other border towns. Chip in! ⬇️⬇️
Just picked up 3,000 masks from our distributor in LA and are headed to Tijuana and Mexicali to deliver them directly to families seeking asylum who are stuck at the border.
Please chip in $27 and help us keep thousands of vulnerable families safe.
My friend Carolina just survived a grave case of covid (her mom, sadly, passed away). 😔
After all the medical expenses, and being unable to work for three months, her family is in a serious money crunch.
If you can, please help by playing her catalog.
Make no mistake: Cori Bush is calling for Hawley's expulsion because she knows
a) the GOP Governor will appoint a Senator who
b) will serve until the next statewide election (Nov22) which

Trump campaign is asking people to phone bank and would be an absolute shame if legions of K-Pop stans signed up to call millions of likely Trump supporters in battleground states… and played some BTS to them.

Nick is right, this is a horrible slippery slope. What’s the end goal here? Recognition of Palestinians as actual people? Making Israel pay for the reconstruction of the housing and infrastructure they have destroyed which was used by 2.1 million people? Where does it end??

Biden voted to send my friend Fernando Méndez — and thousands more — to die in Iraq, lacking equipment and protection.
In five days it’ll be 16 years Fernando (a Corpsman) and his convoy were killed in Fallujah, with IEDs their vehicles weren’t equipped to sustain.
As president, I would never send an American soldier anywhere in the world without the equipment and protection they need. We should not do any less for the heroes on the front lines of the battle we’re in now.

In 1964, The Beatles played “I Want To Hold Your Hand” on the Ed Sullivan Show, for an exact duration of 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
Somehow they knew that 58 years later “Twitter” would make 2:20 its limit for video reproduction.
They keep telling us time travel is fake.

The “yikes” part is that by 2014, Carlson had spent over half a decade absolutely shitting on Obama, on prime time television.
