⚡️Five Israel military reservists have been indicted for the torture of a Palestinian held at Sde Teiman prison. Read the description of their actions from the Israeli indictment and remember the riots staged by Israelis supporting the soldiers who raped the Palestinian man. 🔽

Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc keep insisting via the media and politicians they own that they’re geniuses and we should defer to them, but being mega-rich just means you have no hesitation to steal from people, not that you’re intelligent. In fact, they all strike as rather dumb.

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

A librarian in every school. A nurse in every school. Safe drinking water in every school. These aren’t ‘extras’—they’re the basics. Our contract fight is about raising the floor for ALL students.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Hedging in the face of chaotic fascism makes you seem wimpy and clueless If someone started tearing out your home's walls to steal your copper wiring, would you look rational if you stood there saying, "while it's true that open floor plans are popular, this is wasteful and counterproductive..."?

Wall Street thought they had it all figured out in the 1920s. They were on top of the world, nothing could stop them. It took the oligarchs a hundred years to fully regain their position but they won’t hold it forever.

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

"Dr" Bill Cassidy (R-LA) just voted to put an anti-vaxxer who doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid in charge of our heath care. SPREAD HIS SHAME!

Paul Vallas, who lost the 2023 Chicago mayor's race to Brandon Johnson, pulled junk data from SPLC-designated anti-immigration hate groups Center for Immigration Studies and Federation for American Immigration Reform to dunk on Chicago on twitter. 🧵

CDC data are being purged. ICE agents are threatening hospitals. Doctors are being prosecuted for providing abortion care. Doctors who illegally violate patient privacy and seek to criminalize patients and colleagues are being protected. In sum, we have a major problem. jacobin.com/2025/01/hosp...

The New Republic has kindly published what the LA Times and its RFK Jr-supporting billionaire owner Pat Soon-Shiong tried to suppress: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

Funny to watch Piers Morgan and Tucker Carlson arguing about whether Putin or Zelenskyy is the bigger "dictator" while they're both sitting in checks notes Saudi Arabia.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb. He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me. Share with whoever you think it might help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7fW...

Costco shareholders voted strongly against a proposal requesting a report on the risks of maintaining its diversity and inclusion initiatives, the US company said, sending a message running counter to the intense scrutiny many such corporate policies face. cnn.it/3PQdvlo

It's not at all surprising that CPS initially mistook Secret Service for ICE agents. ICE trains its agents to lie and pose as other kinds of law enforcement officers to trick people into allowing them into private spaces without warrants, to give information, or to lure people out, etc.

We need a lot more rule- and law-breaking among US doctors. Civil disobedience by healthcare workers in the most corrupt, unequal, and cruel healthcare system in the world should be a much stronger tradition than it is. slate.com/news-and-pol...

At the National Prayer Service, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivered a heroic, spontaneous act of rebellion—a sermon calling for mercy for immigrants and LGBTQ+ people. Naturally, Donold and his cult are big mad. Let’s break it down.

Musk: Does a Nazi salute, twice Neo-Nazis: Those were Nazi salutes! Holocaust Scholars: Those were definitely Nazi salutes! Literally Everyone Who Saw It: WTF those were Nazi salutes! ADL: What awkward gestures.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways the real antisemitism is believing Palestinians should have a State
