This Palestinian girl from the Nur Shams camp in Tulkarem refused to leave her cat behind after being forcibly displaced by Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank.

This Nazi needs to be stopped. No one voted for this racist oligarch and all of the shit he's doing is illegal, yet there is zero real opposition because both parties are captured by billionaires and corporate interests.

Starbucks spent MILLIONS advertising a Super Bowl promotion for free coffee on Monday - but failed to staff stores properly for the extra traffic. Amid complaints of poor promo communication & extremely long waits, Seattle baristas at the U Way store WALKED OUT on ULP strike alongside customers!🧵

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

The neoliberal plan in action. Defund public institutions, appoint incompetent fools to run them, destroy public trust, then privatize everything and convince people that they're better off on their own. It's been the bipartisan blueprint since Reagan.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

For 90 minutes, Democrats had the opportunity to call in Vice President Kamala Harris to act as a tie-breaking vote for the confirmation. Instead, Chuck Schumer and others delayed the vote for “no reason,” and allowed Manchin to return and tank the vote.

We didn't set the world on fire — oligarchs did. The rich are deliberately sacrificing our homes and neighborhoods so that the profit train never stops. The only way out is a mass movement that tackles the problem down at the root, the capitalist system. www.jphilll.com/p/who-lets-t...

Workers at a new electric vehicle battery plant in Kentucky have filed for an election to join the United Auto Workers, a union that’s making a concerted effort to organize in the South. The petition marks “the first major filing in the South in 2025.”

Liberals (particularly in the US) seem to be rapidly going through a process of questioning corporate oligarchy, even if they still view the Dems as the answer, and despite the widening gulf between them and their pro-capitalist leaders. Interesting baby steps towards class consciousness

too many liberals think that they are on left when the left begins at anti-imperialism

I don't think people really grasp how many birds have been culled or have died as a result of this. We're talking hundreds of millions of birds globally. Even if this doesn't turn into another pandemic, that kind of a mass die-off has huge real world consequences.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

This kind of symbolic nonsense when the entire country is on fire is emblematic of why the Dems keep bleeding voters and losing elections. Nobody asked for this. We need healthcare, housing, affordable food, and other essentials, not a ceremony where rich politicians and the dead get medals.

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's. Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame. This is that- but in reverse.

it's cool that we're going to pay for this 81 year old congresswoman's healthcare so she can get back to voting for a healthcare system where she won't have to pay for ours
