Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level. The performative ally-est president

The truth about Hamas, Israel and Netanyahu. Israel is Hamas.

Why should our tax dollars go toward universal healthcare when they can pay for space rockets that don't work

Israel has killed more than 80 Palestinians today and is threatening to cancel their ceasefire deal. The West must stop all arms shipments to Israel and give them no choice, no weapons, no war.

Israel is doing exactly the same thing they have been doing since BEFORE they invaded Gaza. Agreeing to a ceasefire deal and then saying Hamas have broken it so they can continue their genocide.

It's never over until Palestine is Free. "Free, free Palestine."

Another great litmus test for your block list is how people are reacting to TikTok users going to RedNote. If people find that Americans having positive interactions with Chinese people is "dangerous" "problematic" or "bad" you've found the Raytheon lobbyists in your midst.

According to the conversations in Israeli media, one thing holding Israel back from a ceasefire was/is the concern that when western reporters and human rights groups are allowed in, the true scale of the crime will shock the global conscience in a way it hasn’t yet

A great litmus test for your blocklist right now is how people are talking about the ceasefire. "Great job Biden" for unequivocally supporting genocide until right this second is the absolute worst take.

Folks on social media aren’t feeling sorry for James Woods after he lost his house in the Palisades fire—they remember his heartless comments about the people in Gaza. Some only care about loss and suffering when it happens to them.

If Democrats were ever truely a vehicle for incremental change, they are not anymore. Both parties are firmly and undemocraticaly under the control of the oligarchy.

In case there was any doubt about the IDF's real goals.

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake. Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house. (Her interview in the 🧵)

I see @washingtonpost.com is reporting on DOGE again without saying anything about the (il)legality of DOGE and the role it is attempting to play as a non-governmental organization that runs the government with no legal or regulatory accountability to the people of the United States

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

Hundreds of incarcerated firefighters are fighting the wildfires raging across southern California for $5.80-$10.24 per day When responding to disasters, they may earn $26.90 over a 24-hour shift

LAPD and LA Sanitation found the time today to destroy several tents belonging to our unhoused neighbors in LA's CD15 district. Many of these residents are elderly, disabled, and suffer from chronic disease including cancer and Stage D congestive heart failure. Please help us replace their tents.

With a clear majority of Americans favoring a cesefire and ending the shipment of weapons to Israel, we should never forget that the Democrats chose genocide over stopping Trump.

Struggling to remember things, concentrate on simple activities or constantly feeling anxious? These are all mental consequences of repeated Covid infections. #LongCovid

People seemed interested in a comment I made about COVID19 earlier, so I thought I provide a source for context.
