Leftist, business owner, anti-capital, anti-fascist, anti-war. We could and should be doing better.

Things are about to get harder and the regime is going to double down on attacking and targeting vulnerable people. Get yourself prepared to stand between the fascists and the people they would hurt.

The word “Semite” was also a word coined in alleged scientific thought that was deeply rooted in racism. Let’s try and avoid using this logic to call for Palestinian liberation because we just enable the circle of normalizing racism.

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

For people in Europe, one of the most important objectives for political mobilisation now is to remove the US military bases. They are a menace to humanity, they are a threat to popular sovereignty, and every one of them must be closed.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

America First as a slogan started with the Klu Klux Clan senator. It's always been rooted in racism. Its been a white supremacist dog whistle the whole time and you need to start treating it as such

ICE is alive and well in Los Angeles, aided and abetted by the County, and the City. They're trafficking people, who increasingly have nothing left to lose. part 1

All told, US taxpayers funded $17.8 billion in arms sales to Israel under President Joe Biden—$11.9 billion government-brokered and $5.9 billion commercial—81% of the $22 billion in sales from 2021-2024, writes @stephensemler.bsky.social.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

I would add that liberalism handed the reigns over to neoliberalism, which is basically covering fascist economics with a liberal veneer, before losing the reigns of power to fascism proper.

The Christian nationalist antisemitism is one of the most undercovered and misunderstood dynamics in this whole movement. The support Israel branding is entirely transactional. Israel has to exist for the Rapture to happen, Jews have to be there, and then they either convert or die in the End Times.

And here my argument is made explicit. The "big tent" only means moving to the right, it does not include the left.

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social

This is precisely why the “big tent” concept is a red herring that only serves as a force of conservatism. A big tent means inviting reactionaries and expecting everyone on the left to just eat shit because where else are we going to go?

I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...

Wow. The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%. They are FIVE points ahead of Labour. The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote. And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

A few weeks ago, Netanyahu visited Trump in the White House, surprisingly there wasn’t any real pressor afterwards, not much televised. Then a couple of days later in a speech, Netanyahu gave in Israel, he stated. “ the Americans are willing to die for us.” where did he get that?… I have questions!

Blake reposted

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

A woman told the FBI that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was 13, and she was deemed credible enough to interview four times. The administration has been covering up the existence of those interviews—and what is said within them. The regime is covering up evidence Trump abused kids.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.
