The silence from Hasan Piker, the DSA, and “progressive” Democrats regarding Trump’s prosecution of Jill Stein for opposing genocide is deafening
DSA: “We stand with the victims of fascism….but only if they are a Democrat!”

You don’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils, vote for who best represents you and your loved ones.
Ask yourself these questions:
Who is going to be truthful and transparent?
Who do you trust with your family’s water, land, and air?
Who isn’t taking corporate donations?
I stand against the expansion of the fossil fuel industry and instead support electrifying our economy via renewable energy.
I stand against data centers, and for clean water, land, and air.
I stand against Israel First policy and the forever wars, and instead support investments in long-term water solutions and flood-control.
Imagine waking up on November 4th in a free congressional district.
I’m Eddie Espinoza, Green Party candidate for TX-34th.
A vote for me is not a vote for the lesser of two evils, it’s a vote for the greater good— a vote for wisdom, hope, peace, and common-sense. I ask for your vote to send me to Congress.
Tomorrow is the last day of early voting, so get out there and vote. And bring family and friends with you! Thank you!

The famines that occurred early on in revolutionary societies were in fact the last famines of the capitalist-feudal order that came before. Socialism solved the problem of hunger, which had tormented the peasantry for centuries.
Historical records from pre-revolutionary China cite 1,828 catastrophic famines over about 2,000 years, or roughly one per year. These would routinely claim millions of lives. What stopped them? The revolution, with its land reforms and Communist Party forces tasked with serving the people. That process did not happen with the snap of the fingers, but required seismic social transformations — a long struggle of shedding the old and building the new. That is why the last famine occurred after the revolution.
We also know what happens when the capitalist dictatorship is restored in a formerly socialist country. After the defeat of the USSR, hunger returned to Russia at levels unseen since the immediate post-war period, when the country was still reeling from the effects of Germany’s war of extermination. The levels of hunger and death imposed by global capital on the people of the Eastern Bloc in the 1990s were historically unprecedented in peacetime.

When I was in Boston last year Jill was at like every palestine protest. She never took up space or even mentioned the Green party or whatever, she was just there holding signs with the rest of us.

Dr. Jill Stein is facing fascist retaliation by the Trump regime for protesting against Israeli genocide. She faces 18 months in prison after being violently arrested by the state for opposing Israel
Where are the “left” voices standing with her? Where is Bernie Sanders? Zohran Mamdani? AOC and the DSA? Are they truly going to stay quiet and refuse solidarity with victims of fascism simply because they are not a Democrat!? This is terrifying signs of things to come

People have to understand what a scumbag move Mamdani made to get an endorsement and enter power.
Ask who he sacrificed? The students, the Palestinians, our activists, the most marginalized who all have suffered for years under Jessica Tisch.
Can anyone justify this?
Gov. Kathy Hochul reveals the deal made with NYC Mayor Mamdani prior to taking office, privately meeting with him to let the then mayor-elect know that her endorsement was contingent on keeping Jessica Tisch as police commissioner:
HOCHUL: “It was important to me before I supported him. He knew that”
POLITICO: “That was something you talked about privately with him…”
HOCHUL: “Before the endorsement… It’s important that she stays, and before I would support, it was important to have a commitment or understanding that this is very important”
POLITICO: “But now there’s a questions of how long that commitment lasts though”
HOCHUL: “It’s going to work”
POLITICO: “It will? Like months, years? What do you think?”
HOCHUL: “As long as the commissioner wants”

It is time for Columbia University to fully divest from Israel and companies who aid in Israel's racist genocide of Palestinians.
The latest aerial footage reveals the scale of Israel’s genocide in Gaza—devastation beyond words. We are entering the fourth year, and Israel still bars international journalists from entering the Strip.
Be a voice for Gaza, for its victims, its innocent civilians, and those whose stories remain untold. Do not stay silent!

Dear god. Just one day after the world united to condemn the US blockade of Cuba, @POTUS illegally seizes critical oil bound for the country's homes, hospitals, and schools — doubling down on a siege that has already cost scores of innocent lives.

no, you did not misread that:
the State Dept. OIG determined in Sept. 2025 that it would take TWELVE AND A HALF YEARS to review all the allegations of human rights abuses by IDF units that receive US military aid
You don't need to order any, you brought your own cheese.
OBAMA: I inherited this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary and said, “You've got to go to Arby's. Order roast beef. No cheese though that may look elitist.”
They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory.

If the Democrats are really against this war, here's something they can do about it
Government funding runs out Dec. 11, 2026 — @DeptofWar included
@SenateDems can refuse to advance any approps funding that continues the war — 7 Dems are needed to reach 60 vote threshhold
There is no reason why any Dem who voted to end the war should now agree to fund it

Ukraine votes to starve Cuba!
Ukraine is joining Israel as one of the few handful of states to join the United States against the world to support the starvation of the Cuban people.
Meanwhile these are the nazis that liberals claim are fighting for democracy and freedom?

Israeli forces continue West Bank raids as Hebron lockdown enters sixth day.
Israel’s continued incursions into Hebron have displaced nearly 5,000 Palestinians, a form of “collective punishment” that violates international law.

Bootlickers: "gReEnS CaNt WiN!"
Also Bootlickers: let's leave every non-corporate candidate off the voter guide.
Letter | Omission of candidate in voters' guide disappointing
Dear Editor: I'm severely disappointed in your printed voter guide because it failed to mention Pete Karas, who is running for secretary of state, as a third-party candidate.
The @CapTimes was founded by William Evjue specifically to help promote the progressive ideas of Fighting Bob LaFollette, which had been attacked in the Wisconsin State Journal. Fighting Bob went on to become one of the most important third party presidential candidates in the history of the United States.
Pete Karas is a sincere and articulate candidate with very progressive views running as a third-party (Green Party) candidate. The decision not to include Karas in your list of candidates is shocking. Imagine if WORT decided to play only top 40 radio hits — it's that shocking — seemingly at odds with the very principles of what it's supposed to do.
And if the excuse is that it was a simple error, that only exaggerates the problem. The Capital Times is to serve as a contrary voice against corporate candidates (and parties) and a voice of the regular working people. It should be putting the grassroots efforts of contrary candidates first.

The governor of New York openly says she fought for Tisch to keep her job because she's a "Jewish woman" from a "successful family," but Black people are the ones accused of being DEI hires who are undeserving of our jobs.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said it was “important” Jessica Tisch remained NYPD commissioner, even discussing it with Mamdani before she endorsed him.
“She knows her role is important,” Hochul told our @jmart. “He knows her role is important.”

Genuine socialism is rooted in internationalism, anti-imperialism, and the abolition of class exploitation. A "socialism" that votes to fund Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and NATO expansion is not socialism at all; it is imperialist chauvinism with a progressive mask. By equating "socialism" with the expansion of the Scandinavian-style capitalist welfare state—backed by NATO's military shield—Sanders distorts and perverts the very definition of socialist politics.
For decades, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been marketed to the American public as the standard-bearer of "democratic socialism"—a fiery populist fighting against the "billionaire class." Yet, when the imperial interests of the United States capital-state are on the line, Sanders routinely sheds his populist rhetoric to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Pentagon, NATO, and the military-industrial complex.
Nowhere is this ideological betrayal clearer than in Sanders' relentless support for the NATO-induced proxy war in Ukraine. Rather than opposing the horrific slaughter of Ukrainian and Russian workers or demanding an immediate diplomatic resolution, Sanders has functioned as one of the war machine's most reliable cheerleaders. Most glaringly, Sanders has taken to critiquing the Trump administration’s foreign policy from the right, attacking Donald Trump for failing to funnel arms quickly enough to fuel the ongoing conflict.
Social Democracy’s Bargain with the Imperial State
Sanders is a textbook case of how social democracy, far from being a vehicle for revolutionary transformation, operates as an ideological pillar of the capitalist state. Historically, social democrats have made a calculated (Faustian) bargain with imperialism: they are permitted to advocate for domestic social reforms—such as "Medicare for All" or "Taxing the Rich"—only on the condition that they remain strictly compliant with the empire's global hegemony, resource plunder, and militarism.
When social democrats accept the framework of the capitalist state, their domestic promises become empty slogans. The ruling class allows social-democratic figures to channel popular discontent back into the safe confines of electoral politics, while simultaneously leveraging their "left" credibility to manufacture consent for imperialist wars abroad.
By equating "socialism" with the expansion of the Scandinavian-style capitalist welfare state—backed by NATO's military shield—Sanders distorts and perverts the very definition of socialist politics. Genuine socialism is rooted in internationalism, anti-imperialism, and the abolition of class exploitation. A "socialism" that votes to fund Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and NATO expansion is not socialism at all; it is imperialist chauvinism with a progressive mask.
The Social Media Exchange: Critiquing Trump from the Right
The fundamental pro-war orientation of Sanders was put on full display following recent reporting on Washington's military aid posture.
On October 20, 2026, The Washington Post posted a breaking story on X (formerly Twitter):
@WaPo:"Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks."
Rather than seizing upon any delay in arms transfers to demand de-escalation, Sanders reacted with belligerent imperialist outrage. On October 21, 2026, Sanders posted his response:
@SenSanders:"Disgraceful. Trump sacrifices Ukrainian lives in order to appease his fellow authoritarian, Mr. Putin. The U.S. must release the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine. No U.S. alliance with the Russian dictatorship."
Here, the self-proclaimed "socialist" senator explicitly outflanked the Republican administration from the right, demanding that the imperial state accelerate its transfer of high-tech weaponry into a war zone.
The Backlash: Left-Wing Anti-War Voices Respond
Sanders' pro-war post triggered immediate backlash from anti-imperialist commentators, journalists, and activists who exposed his hypocrisy.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald highlighted the financial reality of Sanders' stance:
"Mr. Socialist -- Mr. Let's Rebel Against the Millionaires and Billionaires -- wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars in Americans' money not to American communities to improve the lives of American workers, but to Raytheon and Boeing to keep fueling the war in Ukraine."
The Grayzone's editor, Max Blumenthal, pointed to Sanders' long-standing record of militarism in his home state of Vermont:
"Antiwar activists in Vermont know Bernie as the senator who pushed with all his might to station nuclear capable F-35s at Burlington Int’l Airport. This militaristic screed would come as no surprise to them."
A young voter named, Landon, succinctly captured the incompatibility between socialism and NATO proxy wars:
"Supporting Ukraine is not democratic socialism".
Analyst Patrick Henningsen stripped away Sanders' progressive pretenses:
"More proof that Bernie Sanders works for the war party. What a complete idiot, another glorified agent for the NATO arms racket - who still wants to give the Little Green Goblin in Kiev a blank check forever until there’s no more Ukraine left: “Let’s fight Russia right down to the last Ukrainian!” The brain dead Left…" *

American journalist @infinite_jaz has tirelessly documented Israeli terror against Palestinians on the West Bank. So of course now the Israeli occupation army turns its brutality on him:
@infinite_jaz was arrested after getting attacked
Jasper is shouting: "I just got beat up!"
