Macklemore was literally banned from stadiums and lost millions of dollars just for saying “free Palestine” Authors are banned from selling books in the UK if they are too pro-Palestine Love for Israel is the only real ideal that still exists in “western democracies”
Kylian Mbappé lost all his Chinese sponsors this morning after saying Mao Zedong was a dictator This would never happen if you call any U.S or EU leader a dictator I choose Westen democracies over China and autocracies any day of the week!

Israel's had only four Arab ministers in its history and has tried to ban Arab parties multiple times, including this year. Zionist parties refuse to work with Arab parties and Jewish citizens call the Arab vote "terrorism". Over 5.5 million Arabs aren't allowed to vote.
Arab voters essentially holding the balance of power in this Israeli election was not on my bingo card. But damn, that’s real democratic power. For those calling Israel an apartheid state, good luck explaining that one.

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.” 🔗 politi.co/4ij6szh

Solidarity with @DrJillStein and the antiwar movement! Drop the false charges against Jill Stein! On April 27, 2024, students at Washington University in St. Louis, and Green Party Presidential candidate and antiwar activist Jill Stein, peacefully protested against the horrific genocide in Gaza. Video of the protest shows the police assaulting the peaceful protesters, including an officer using a bicycle as a battering ram against Jill Stein and the students. Stein is now being falsely charged with assaulting a police officer and trespassing during the protest. This is blatant political retaliation, which in reality is directed against the antiwar movement as a whole, with the aim of making people afraid to protest. I demand that St. Louis County drop these charges on Jill Stein immediately. Stein in particular is being specifically targeted because she has had the courage to challenge both genocidal billionaire-backed protest parties in her campaigns for president. The Democratic Party in particular, which supported and funded the Israeli state's genocide and controls St. Louis County, wants to send a chilling message to anyone who would dare to challenge them like Stein has. If Jill Stein were to be convicted, she could face up to 18 months in prison. Students, working people, union members, and the antiwar movement must stand with Jill Stein. Demand that the false charges on Jill Stein be dropped immediately!

Join the strike
NEW: On Friday, dockworkers at 111 ports in 22 countries and regions on five continents will stop work in a coordinated strike against war, according to the most recent information from the organizing unions. More than 25 dockworkers’ unions have now signed on, from Marseille to Mumbai, Hamburg to Montevideo, Melbourne to Oakland. Days ago the count stood at about 100 ports in 17 countries, and that figure doesn’t include the dozens of unions in other sectors that have pledged support. Their demand is simple: no weapons and no military cargo through their ports. Nearly everything the world ships passes through the docks, and without the workers who load and unload it, nothing moves. In France, the main dockers’ union says the country’s ports will be 95% shut. Italy, India, Greece and Turkey face 24-hour strikes, and Morocco and Cyprus will see stoppages of up to two hours, with rallies planned in port cities around the world. In Greece, metalworkers, ship-repair workers and young people are joining the dockers, and in the US, ILWU Local 10 is striking in Oakland and San Francisco. The unions are working from the Istanbul Declaration, signed in May, with each one deciding for itself how to take part. They are also fighting for their own jobs, against cuts from automation and for contracts, raises, shorter hours and safety. The unions point to escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the danger of a generalized war. They condemn Israel’s new crimes in Hebron, carried out with the backing of the US, NATO and the EU. Israel’s lockdown of the city is now in its sixth day, with more than 3,000 Palestinians displaced, according to the UN. Palestinian unions have endorsed Friday’s action. In Italy, the fight has spilled beyond the docks. The union USB has called for a nationwide general strike. Last night, the Italian government ordered transport workers back on the job last night. USB said it would defy the order and accept the steep penalties. The unions are calling on workers and young people everywhere to stand with the dockworkers, saying “Ports for peace and the peoples, not launching pads for war.” I’m reporting from Calabria, Italy, and I will be in Genoa tomorrow ahead of the strike to report on the ground during the mobilzation.

I am a proud and loyal Democrat, and have voted Democrat all my life, but because I hate Muslims SO much, I'm going to ignore every principle I've spent my career giving lip service to and throw America under the bus. I urge my fellow sociopathic racists to do the same.
I am a proud and loyal Democrat. I served in President Clinton’s National Security Council and worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department. I ran for Congress as a Democrat, have voted Democratic all my life, and expect to continue doing so. But I would never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. In my judgment, he does not represent the values of our party or our nation. I urge my fellow patriotic Democrats in Michigan to leave the Senate line blank or vote for Republican Mike Rogers. This is an exceptional case, and I do not make this recommendation lightly. We can support Democratic majorities nationally while refusing to support a candidate who violates our core values. Loyalty to our party should strengthen our principles, never require us to abandon them.

This crackpot gave $12k to Fetterman Victory Fund, and $7k to Fetterman for PA in March of this year. He's given another $16.7k this cycle to the main GOP Super PAC supporting Susan Collins, in addition to $7.1k to Collins Victory Comm –– all before Platner entered the race.

It’s 1:13 a.m, & CNN has on Scott Jennings & Van Jones to accuse Abdul El-Sayed of being an antisemite because of his criticism of Israel. It doesn’t fucking stop. Not one criticism of Mike Rogers & his Islamophobia.

Even if he loses the Zionist Jews, who are not a consequential group of voters, he’ll be okay. You won’t ever stop fearmongering. Maybe try covering the groups that strongly support him. Like Arab, Muslim and Brown voters who are a MUCH larger group here!

Michigan’s Muslim population is 2-3 times larger than its Jewish population. The feelings of the latter get blanket attention, whereas I’ve seen no analysis or reporting on how Michigan Muslims feel about Rogers’ messaging and ads suggesting his Muslim opponent is a terrorist
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

It would be a blessing for people who want progressives to take over the Democratic Party if all you Israel first people defected to Republicans. A blessing.
This idea that you're going to berate Jewish Michiganders into voting for your candidate is some of the most foolish politics I've seen on here. It's essentially bullying, and its going to drive more people to vote for Mike Rogers.

Check out how Zionists talk about non-Jews voting.
The biggest takeaway from Israels elections is actually universal - that Islamists like to sit dormant, waiting, and then when the time seems right they sweep in and use the country's democratic system against them. Almost 20 seats projected for the Arab parties, in which the majority of the representatives are not moderate Arab Israels. This problem is coming for all of us.

"The one who designed a system where a human can kill 500 people—that's the one responsible." 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Que no me vengan con que ha sido un error humano. En el siglo XXI un tren no choca con nada. No puede. Para eso existen el ERTMS, el ASFA, los enclavamientos y los circuitos de vía: para que, cuando el humano se equivoque, la máquina frene sola. Esa es su única función. Si un AVE con 397 pasajeros ha podido alcanzar a un tren parado, es porque esa capa de protección no estaba. Averiada, desconectada o en modo degradado, da igual. No estaba. Y un sistema de seguridad que depende de que un operario no se equivoque no es un sistema de seguridad. Es una lotería con horario. El error humano no es la causa. Es el síntoma. La causa es que alguien decidió que se podía circular a 300 km/h con el sistema principal caído y una persona como único respaldo. En mi sector, cuando falla el principal, entra el secundario. Cuando falla el secundario, entra el terciario. Cuando no hay terciario, no se sale. Se llama redundancia y no es un lujo. Es lo que separa un incidente de un funeral. Echarle la culpa al maquinista es lo más barato. Y lo más cobarde. El que diseñó un sistema donde un humano puede matar a 500 personas, ese es el responsable.
