@Jaybefaunt

So... If she was to win the Democratic nomination and the general election (not likely but whatever)

I know for a certainty that she will continue to fund the extermination of the Palestinian people and we should call her #KamalaTheKiller from now on.


@SFTBIB

Clearly cackling Kamala governs for Israel instead of Americans...

Never forget how Kamala Harris got her start. She isn’t a stranger to Diddy parties in L.A. either.

Beautiful Mosaic of Kamala Harris made out of all the black men she locked up and kept in prison past their release date for jail labor. #NeverForget

[image description]

[The image is a mosaic portrait of Kamala Harris made up of the faces of Black men who were imprisoned past their release dates for jail labor. The caption calls it a "Beautiful Mosaic" and uses the hashtag #NeverForget. The image is meant to be a criticism of Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor, particularly her use of jail labor policies.]

Transgender Day of Visibility has always been recognized on March 31st. It has been around since 2009. Easter doesn't always fall on March 31st. 🤦‍♀️


@Caitlyn_Jenner

I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days - a self proclaimed devout Catholic - as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’.

Watch @ChrisCuomo fall for Tucker's bs about affirmative action. When it comes to affirmative action, WHITE WOMEN benefit the most! Chris, you didn't observe the data about this? Tucker may be right on some issues but he's WRONG about race! http://youtu.be/wuLV3vChQVs

Incredible to see this segment on mainstream TV.


@RyanRozbiani

AIPAC HAS TOO MUCH CONTROL OVER OUR GOVT

If China or Russia, or Iran funded almost EVERY member of Congress people would be freaking out.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is funny.


@politico

Trump often uses “jokes” and laughter to normalize his behavior — a trick used by autocrats in the past, writes @michaelkruse

@SabbySabs2

How many of us are blocked by Ritchie Torres? According to SCOTUS new ruling, we can sue politicians for this now. Do we have a class action lawsuit?


@joma_gc

BREAKING: In a unanimous ruling, SCOTUS rules that members of the public can sue public officials for blocking or muting them on social media.

The court establishes a new test for lower courts to determine if a public official’s speech is a “state action”; writing they must “possess the authority to speak for the state” and “purport to exercise that authority.”

@SocialistMMA

There have been multiple people in my personal life that been asking me about the TikTok ban

They don’t really care about politics, but they know I cover it so they’ve been asking me about it

So I told them the truth, Tiktok is being banned because Israel and how they are upset young people are now pro Palestinian because of Tiktok exposing their genocide

Now they hate Israel. Good job Zionists. You are making our job too easy

@SocialistMMA

If Tiktok was so dangerous for consumers like capitalists claim, wouldn’t the free market adjust to this fact and TikTok naturally phase out?

That’s the theory behind the free market that ridiculous capitalists push. So what gives? Getting cold feet? Starting to realize your ideology is absurd?

@Jaybefaunt

I don't want to get out of the hood, I want to make it so that it's favorable to the people who already live there.

True safety is:

  • Having housing security
  • Full healthcare
  • Free education
  • Healthy food
  • Mass public transit
  • Owning their workplace and running it democratically
  • Natural areas for leisure

It's not a matter of if we want it. We do. It's changing the system so that we CAN have it without being exploited.

@briebriejoy

I hope the left learns from this and stops kowtowing to the argument that they'll get "blamed" for Democrats loss and therefore shouldn't make any demands.

I've been making this argument for years. It shouldn't have taken a genocide to get us here:

JOHN DICKERSON, CBS: "Uncommitted vote sent [Biden] a clear signal and they are responding, first rhetorically...this is the system working. A bunch of Democrats said we don't like this policy and we are going to show you maybe by voting you out or making your life miserable, so you can change the policy...and that's how it should work in a democracy."

@SabbySabs2

Thanks to the ongoing protests, CNN has no choice but to tell the truth about Israel's attack on children. Make no mistake, without massive protests, this would not happen.


@brikeilarcnn

It’s hard to comprehend the deaths of 12,800 children. We put up figures of children on our studio walls - one for each child killed in Gaza during the war.

They’re dying from airstrikes and now malnutrition and dehydration.

These are some of their stories.

[Warning, children with malnutrition]

@SocialistMMA

This is what election interference looks like

Is this the “democracy” that liberals are fighting so hard to defend?


@AIPAC

32 out of 32 AIPAC-endorsed Democrats won their primary election on Tuesday night!

Building bipartisan support for the U.S.-Israel relationship saves lives!

Right wing authoritarianism isn’t subtle.

added context:

Here is what Ben is replying to:

Pro-Palestinian protesters a part of a group called “𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧,” vandalized a historic painting of Arthur James Balfour at Trinity College Cambridge in England.

Arthur Balfour wrote the Balfour Declaration of 1917 when he was serving as the British Foreign Minister. The letter expressed Britain's support for a Jewish Homeland in what is now Israel.

@Jaybefaunt

Ah, now we see the REAL reason why they deployed the National Guard. To stop free speech. Make no mistake, Hochul is reminding me of DeSantis.


quote

@isabelle_leyva Mar 8

The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group just made 3 unprompted arrests of pro-Palestine protesters as they were getting on the subway to disperse from a @palyouthmvmt march.

This is after 2 prior rounds of mass arrests without warning or dispersal order.

Wow. This is incredible.

Good morning, uncommitted received 29.1% of the vote in Hawaii.

This administration must change course and stop arming a slaughter.
