Incredibly bleak to see Israel run paid ads declaring that there is food in Gaza while there is consensus in the international community that there is a man-made famine.
From fresh produce to candy and canned goods, Gaza City’s markets offer it all. See the real footage for yourself - yes, there is food in Gaza.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL TARIFFS ARE MAKING INFLATION GREAT AGAIN! THE GREATEST INCREASE IN INFLATION SINCE THE PANDEMIC (MANY ARE SAYING). HERBERT HOOVER (LIL HOOVER, THEY CALL HIM) HAD THE GREAT DEPRESSION BUT NO ONE REMEMBERS HIM. SAD! UNDER TRUMP AMERICA WILL HAVE THE GREATEST

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned if this doesn’t end, “Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.��� Israel just killed him

10 yrs ago I spoke at my 1st @BernieSanders rally in Greensboro as an eager and nervous student. Today, I returned not as a student, but as Chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners and the FIRST Muslim woman ever elected to office in NC!

In 2015, I was a student at NC State and spoke at my first rally for Bernie in Greensboro. 10 years later, I’m returning to speak at his Fighting Oligarchy rally in Greensboro — now as Chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners! ✊ #NCPol #FeelTheBern

NEW—Pramila Jayapal, Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. "The United States is Israel's largest supplier of arms…this makes us complicit in this genocide." 11 members now calling it genocide: https://t.co/wJ8eLvhe2Z

After almost two years, more and more politicians, experts, and human rights groups are finally using the G-word to describe Israel's violence in Gaza, but the list is still relatively short.

Since the GOP doesn't care about the human impact of their actions and prioritizes 💸 over lives, here is a 🧵on how Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts in the Big Bull💩Bill will impact North Carolina's economy.

Music artists make, on average, only $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, yet platforms like Spotify made over $1.3 billion in profits in 2024. Let's pass my Living Wage for Musicians Act to take on corporate greed in the music industry and give musicians the fair pay they deserve.
NEW: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is worth almost $10 billion, and his co-founder Martin Lorentzon has a net worth of $15 billion. Artists report making, on average, only $0.003 to $0.005 per stream on the platform. Streaming has reshaped the music industry—at the expense of artists.

NC was recently named the #1 state for business. How can we maintain that title when we face such significant financial burdens across our state budget, local companies, hospital systems, and other sectors? All because the GOP decided to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits
