The billionaire class is the enemy of world peace and lawful human interaction. You need a really good sense of Kafka

Prince had quite a few takes back in the day which people just wrote off as him being eccentric.
Most takes have aged pretty well.

For US officials, it’s terrorism to defend yourself against a foreign military occupation.
The word terrorism doesn’t carry any weight anymore.

I just don't care about Dem/GOP electoral politics - AT ALL. Either way, the world loses. If you care about "minimizing harm" then you don't in any way affirm the continuation of a unipolar, imperial, capitalist war machine. No one in either party fights against that.

There is no hope in a two-party system when both parties exist to serve capital and war, not people.
Obama on the midterms:
“It is the most consequential election in history.”
Democrats say this every election but when they get power they govern for Wall Street, the war machine, and Israel just like Republicans do.
Insane how many Americans keep falling for it. There is no hope in a two-party system when both parties exist to serve capital and war, not people. The people have to make our own hope by rejecting this system and building a better one.

Gavin Bazunu 💚⚪️🧡🇵🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The time has come for the rest of the players to stand alongside him and refuse to face Israel.

"We all want to live in a World of Gavin Bazunu's" - Respect for standing up for something that matters when so many refuse to go to that space...

We are at a watershed moment. The vibe is shifting.
It's not over yet! We can still stop ASI!
This week an Anthropic researcher quit, warning AI companies are "gambling with our lives", and ControlAI's bill to prohibit superintelligence was introduced in Parliament.
ControlAI's US Executive Director @NPCollapse on CNN on the problem, and what we need to do about it:

Balls of steel on this lady 👑
I will be visiting the Israeli-occupied West Bank later this month, thanks to the incredible efforts of activists and organizers on the ground in the West Bank and @BeIfrd in Europe.
I will be talking to Palestinians and Palestinian Americans about the holocaust being carried out by the Israeli state and the brutality of the decades of occupation. Our goal will be to help further expose the horrors taking place on Palestinian lands. I will also be visiting Palestinian children in Egypt and Turkey, all of whom are sole survivors of their families and have suffered untold atrocities. All of these children have personally faced Israeli bombardment and have had to undergo limb amputations.
The Israeli state, empowered by U.S. imperialism and war-profiteering billionaires and multimillionaires, has continued the genocide in Gaza for well over a thousand days. At the same time, violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has dramatically escalated, both directly from the Israeli state forces and from state-sanctioned, right-wing settlers. In total, since the genocide began, Israel has killed over a thousand people in the West Bank and inflicted incalculable damage on Palestinian homes and farms.
Nothing short of smashing the apartheid state of Israel will end the indescribable suffering of the Palestinian people.
For that, working-class militant movements in the United States will be crucial because Israel exists as a garrison state for the economic and geopolitical interests of the American capitalist class and other imperialist powers.
This also means that it is a fool’s errand to place any faith in either the Democratic Party or Republican Party, as both are parties of the war-profiteering billionaires and multimillionaires. The strategy of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) of supporting careerist Democratic Party politicians is a complete dead end for the Palestinian cause.
Anything other than leadership to build an antiwar movement that unambiguously fights against both the Democratic and Republican parties will lead to further betrayals of the Palestinian people.

Those who've claimed we're never changing this via US electoral system have been shown correct during this entire cycle and the "left" candidates that leftists are desperate to elect, half of whom won't be, all of which are unqualified to get accomplished what must be. Carry on

To all Americans (especially liberals) who have "thoughts" about how people are treated in Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, etc - this is dedicated to you.

Every economic crash hurts us the most. Yes, it will also devastate some elite sectors. But other sectors will massively increase wealth even in a crash. Therefore, in those sectors it is "rational" (from their POV) to manufacture such. Sure looks like that's what's up.

Mamdani, currently the most prominent public figure of the Democratic Socialists of America, continues to support genocidal Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House if the Democrats win a majority.
Mamdani maintains this position even though Jeffries has been further exposed recently over a private meeting with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner to see "how Democrats and the [Trump] administration could work together."
The Democratic Party simply offers NO WAY FORWARD for our movements to win victories for working people, defeat Trump and the right wing, and end the genocide and occupation. The DSA leadership's project of trying to launder the Democratic Party's reputation and build up their own track record of betrayals is a total dead end.
We need a new party of, by, and for the working class - one that will build fighting movements against the billionaires and to bring down BOTH of their parties.
Mamdani moments ago just once again backed Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker:
“I continue to support Jeffries and his bid to become the leader.”
AOC also supports Jeffries. How can anyone believe in the project to reform the Democratic Party when the people who run on reforming it back corrupt corporate politicians for leadership?

Mark Ruffalo has rejected Paramount's claims of antisemitism after the Oscar-nominated actor accused Oracle, whose co-founder Larry Ellison controls Paramount with his son, of complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
