Mamdani maintained five of Cuomo's top staff in his administration. He has vowed to keep Zionist police commissioner Jessica Tisch. He promised to hire Zionists. He walked back his support for "Globalize the Intifada" — an international rallying cry to unite the working class to
Sawant is running an independent campaign against a terrible Dem congressman and instead devotes most of her time to attacking the most left wing politicians in government. A pointless vanity run appealing to 1%, if that, of the electorate.

Anyone?
“NATO is a defensive alliance concerned with containing Russian aggression in Europe.” Can someone explain to me how dropping 7,700 bombs on Libya over 7 months in 2011 fits into this mandate? That���s 37 bombs a day for 210 days. Libya is now a failed state.

Totally counterproductive. Reinforcing division, foregrounding difference and excluding the vast majority (& all women). The political class preach diversity for the working class while they live in citadels of privilege & homogeneity. If he loves diversity move to the scheme.
Scotland should be a place where people of all faiths can live in peace and follow their traditions. Demonstrating the unity and strength of Scotland’s diverse communities, First Minister @JohnSwinney took part in a candle lighting ceremony with Jewish and Muslim leaders.

‘The enemy that threatens Cuba is the same enemy that threatens everybody else.’ -Fidel Castro, who passed away on this day in 2016. His words were a warning. Now Venezuela🇻🇪, Colombia🇨🇴, Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, Iran🇮🇷…and the entire global south face the guns of the US’ empire.
On this day in 2016, Cuban Revolutionary Fidel Castro passed away. Before the Cuban revolution, US financial interests owned: 90% of Cuba’s mines 80% of public utilities 50% of railways 40% of sugar production 25% of bank deposits In response to Fidel Castro removing the

American activist Jeremy Scahill: “We are in the midst of one of the most epic lies in history. We are told that the Palestinian resistance is terrorism... These are Palestinian people that have grown up knowing nothing but siege, starvation, war against them...”

Everyone who Bari Weiss thinks should be deemed mainstream enough to be included in The Conversation™ always has one thing in common: love of Israel. Conversely, everyone Bari Weiss thinks is too extreme to be included always has one thing in common: opposition to Israel.
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate

Sympathy for Israel among registered US voters has cratered, and it's never coming back Most Republicans under 29 favor Palestine over Israel, and the number surges among those who identify as "America First" That's why Israel is demanding a 20 year MOU to lock in military aid

No milkshakes might get media attention but the State restricting citizens rights to protest and jury trials are a better indicator of the direction of travel. This ain’t a democracy it’s a hypocrisy as someone famously said.
Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases

UPDATE: A Boston University student bragged on video about calling ICE to raid an Allston car wash, claiming “immigrants are taking American jobs.” That lie blew up in his face. Students marched, demanded BU become a sanctuary campus, and the workers’ lawyer pointed out the

Stumbled across the fact the SNP Dundee MP regularly writes and shares right wing gutter press stories about China. There’s obviously no interest in this from his constituents. Who is the audience here?
China ‘to triple number of Uyghur organ-harvesting centres’

Dialogue of the deaf. People in politics/media will love this. While working class people will recognise it as patronising nonsense. We don’t need economics (badly) explained with biscuits on X. We’re not thick. Everything the political class does exposes their cluelessness.

You just endorsed him to be Speaker.
After at least 2,251 Palestinians were killed over the course of July 2014, Hakeem Jeffries got on stage at a rally in NYC and paraphrased George Wallace. “Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever.” If Jeffries is considered a progressive, the term has lost all meaning.

All the time we are told how the war in Ukraine is somehow "unprovoked" But then i see this video from Joe Biden in 2016: "We led a coup in Ukraine, installed a government, looted, and played both sides"
