No teacher should have to bear witness to their students being killed by Israeli missiles. No students should be purposely starved, forced to dream of eating rice & meat. This is genocide.

Wonder what kind of porn Andrew Cuomo is watching right now.

What’s the over/under on number of democrats who vote to approve this nomination?

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

A globe-spanning community of ‘liberal, democratic’ nations is forcefully uprooting every moral, ethical and humanitarian norm in war and politics (believing the toothpaste can then go back in the tube) to secure the narrow interests of a rogue, ethno-nationalist state (that knows it never will).

I feel like if there were “aid traps” in any other country on Earth being used to lure starving civilians into the open where they can be shot and killed by the armed forces, then that would be considered quite scandalous www.972mag.com/hunger-games...

A UNICEF spokesperson on PBS news said Gaza is likely 2 weeks away from no potable water whatsoever. In the first month of this genocide I saw a video of a toddler with a broken femur from an Israeli bomb dropped on her home who *could not even cry* bc she was so dehydrated. FUCK Israel and the US.

Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran. It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.

Pretty sure I bought one of these jigsaw puzzles.

Before this is all done and put to bed, we’re gonna need to flay some motherfuckers.

As we head to Election Day, for folks who voted early, thank you. I know some folks have not yet made up their minds. I am making an appeal to you. Please do not rank Cuomo. I have worked with every single one of the candidates for mayor. I will tell you he does not like us.

Tomorrow is ours if we want it. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

A short story in pictures. #MAKEATERRIBLECOMICDAY2025 1/25

Fascism is here, now, but the bots are STILL here, demanding we vote for the other genocidal party. Nope. Only rising up can stop this. Lesserevilism is what got us here.

The effort the dems are putting in to block Mamdani and get a sex pest elected instead is truly disgusting. Cuomo was a bad politician who killed people and wasted public funds and enriched his cronies but these people really will go to any length to tear down a brown democratic socialist.

Just to riff here … when this is all over and trump is put back in his box, does anyone think we can just go back to “normal“? The checks & balances that we were all taught in school. Turns out they don’t work. The constitution has failed catastrophically. For the 2nd time.

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now. I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.

🥀 This is not just hunger. It’s engineered starvation. Israel didn’t just bomb bakeries and markets. It banned food trucks. It blocked flour, rice, and baby formula. It targeted aid workers. It shot people at food lines. It let children starve. On purpose This is not war This is deliberate famine

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

If we did socialism (they would not do this willingly) we could make all housing public, cap rents at five percent of income and make housing a human right. Just an idea.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

liberals: i can’t believe this is happening 😱 leftists: we predicted all of this, here are all our articles, books and lectures explaining it from years ago. liberals: shut up. vote blue no matter who. your stupid socialist revolution will never happen. we have to move to the right.

Karaoke, but you have to sing like Yogi Bear.

There will a come a time in this world where people who worked with ICE will be found out, and many of them (and their family members) will cry and say they were forced to, or didn’t mean it, or tried to keep their pension. Your job is to not let anyone believe them.

I'm a little later than usual but this is my thread where I will post all the Palestinian fundraisers I've shared today so you can share them all from one place. Please pick someone to give to if you can and boost. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I will live in spite of this Administration. I will live in spite of this court. The work goes on, and I will not stop fighting for us.

When did we first see a black hole? An Aerobee rocket launched from White Sands #OTD in 1962, a mission to measure the flux of X-rays reflected by the moon. Instead it found the whole sky aglow: the galactic center, a bright binary star in Scorpius, a possible source in Cygnus. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

sure am glad that the approach to SCOTUS from the party nominally opposed to all this is almost certain to remain "we'd appreciate it if you didn't" and "come on, man"

We need to acknowledge that - in order to put this all behind us - we need accountability. We need to send motherfuckers to jail. We’re not going back to “business as usual”. If you’re a politician currently, you need to be on board with this. Or turn and face the wall.

My favorite anecdote about my dad … the whole family took my mom out for Mother’s Day. When the bill came, dad looked at me and said “she’s not my mother”. Miss you both.

Sax Man in Lebanon having a way better time than all of us. Once in a lifetime you get to rip it that hard. Prolly feels so fucking good! I swear the day israel will fall, we'll gather in our city squares and watch it on huge screens, and toast to justice for Palestine. Would feel so damn good! 🙏🏾🇵🇸♥️

When the time comes and we can finally ____ this son of a bitch from a _________ by his _____, no one will be in the mood for calls for “civility”.
