Anti-fascist. Leftist. Human rights aren’t debatable. Intersectional working class politics are the only way.

Good! We need roads, transit, and snow plowing. Ridiculous that Republicans would block a jobs program to keep our infrastructure clean, safe, and effective.
It’s pretty ridiculous to compare things Trump is doing to an economic system that helps the working class.
it sounds stupid and Newsom *is* extremely stupid, but it's no accident the way liberals call right-wingers "socialists" and right-wingers call their liberal near-neighbors "communists" when neither are remotely either. Liberals and fascists share common ground in hating anything "left"
A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. It’s long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.
It’s a good measurement
Random thought: "what should 40 hours at minimum wage afford you in life?" Is probably good insight into a person's personal politics and if they can rationally be convinced to support a more equitable world without addressing their core beliefs first.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Ban masks for law enforcement. We need to be able to identify Gestapo goons violating due process for arrest and prosecution. #abolishICE
I see it as a marginal step in the direction of identify these goons for prosecution and hopefully a deterrent for some of them being fearful of doxxing and community shunning. Maybe I’m being too optimistic. But Gestapo should be arrested.
Objectively a good thing, but it does make me go "oh, so you can be sure that the people coming to do you harm are empowered to do so by the state and thus you should surrender instead of fighting back"
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Happy #LaborDay! Remember that businesses are *nothing* without workers. Solidarity means standing with your fellow workers and never allowing their rights to be trampled.
“Raw egg nationalist” quoted by Elon and replied to by Sen. Mike Lee…
Nope she didn’t urge us to accept it as policy. You called her an “aipac wh*re”. AIPAC isn’t a fan of her just for the record. My point stands.
Lmao I’ve been promoting that article ding dong. It’s important to have disclosure and transparency. Just goes to show how unserious you are.
She urged to vote for the lesser evil in the last election. A calculated decision in an impossible situation. Trump is worse by every measure and it’s absurd on its face to claim otherwise. You claiming she’s pro-genocide is ridiculous.
Where was the amendment to alter the bill’s tax burden if that was the issue?
every OR Dem trafficking in marginal tax burden hysteria: congrats, you played yourself.
Yep her votes do matter so voting against offensive weapons is a good thing. I agree Israel should be cutoff from all weapons but it’s absurd on its face to call AOC pro-Israel.
We are all complicit- we all pay taxes. But I agree that she shouldn’t have funded iron dome. That said she opposes the genocide and isn’t pro-Israel. Ask aipac how they feel about her if you don’t believe me.
Human trafficker Ron DeSantis
Israel assassinated the prime minister of Yemen and their entire cabinet. Are we just allowing countries to assassinate leaders now? Not a great precedent to set.
If you don’t follow LA taco for the latest and most important LA immigration news, you should be.
No one is ever going to allow a fight for universal liberation to be fought on fair terms. You can get butthurt about it and complain, or you can fight it anyway. It's up to you. I choose the latter.

What do you think I said specifically that is not in line with addiction medical science?
I know what medical science has proven effective. That science is based on the lived experience of addicts.
Wow I’m shocked the guy making excuses for bigotry and nazi also doesn’t understand being told “no”
👋🧌
You sure are. Don’t reply again. No time for harassment from incompetent ding dongs making excuses for bigotry and Nazis.
You’re the one making the strawman.
she is demanding civil rights. Gavin agrees with Nazi transphobia. You have to be intentionally obtuse to not understand this.
Anyone threatening to nominate an unelectable candidate who agrees with this nazi regime’s policies seems like the threat. What makes you think it’s fine to terrorize the lgtbq community in order to satiate your incorrect assessment that throwing human rights in the trash is politically viable?
Sweeping people only serves to further destroy any sense of stability for unhoused people. It destroys their already minimal possessions for the poorest among us. It’s cruel. It doesn’t solve the problem. It costs more in the long run than actually just housing people.
Same
Is Donald Trump running in the democratic primary? Follow-up: don’t you think it’s best to have a Democratic nominee that doesn’t alienate the base? Trans/NB people comprise 1-3% of the population and that’s enough to swing an election.
How do you think adding to people’s instability with sweeps helps? Forced treatment is proven harmful. Harm reduction is a long term project because addiction isn’t “cured” overnight. The “quality of life” of people needing help plummets when you stuff them in facilities involuntarily.
In my experience, it is difficult to prevent a genocide by providing the genocider with unlimited weapons
“Actually what if no one’s healthcare was defunded and capitalists couldn’t do this shit to us ever again” is infinitely more of a concrete solution than “let’s tell Dems to only fight for urban area hospitals and see if they listen or even do anything at all”
Absolutely grotesque. Using AI to determine eligibility for medical procedures and overriding the expertise of actual medical professionals making orders for patients.
Arrest the Gestapo #abolishice
The act of means testing is a costly bureaucratic process - wasting money and setting up roadblocks to access programs. This frustrates people and alienates support for whatever public good you’re trying to deliver.
Only Congress has the power of the purse
This interview should be required viewing for every pro-Israel Congressperson.
It is unusual for a school shooter to be trans. It is not at all unusual for a school shooter to be an online Nazi lunatic
i’m puzzled by that chat-gpt article in O. despite Trump’s actions we still have a free press, so write about what you think is newsworthy. but, i’d be more interested in seeing reporting on the ways Cllr. Avalos is reaching her constituents in ways they’ve never had.
That said AI does need strict and heavy regulation. Its abuse and the problems caused by ai are widespread.
Using Ai to summarize your own statements and craft bullet points is hardly a systemic issue worthy of societal condemnation.
If you don’t have policies to back up your sassy posts then it falls flat and it’s just drama with no tangible results other than wasting time while fascists roll over us all.
NYC mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani shows what’s possible: freeze rents, free buses & child care—paid for by a modest tax on millionaires. The rich cried “we’ll leave!” but the data is clear: they never do. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Republicans actively want what’s objectively evil. They’re not just blocking good things.
Official DNC position. Schumer and Jeffries agree. Must to the disapproval of the vast majority of the party base.
Thank you representative.
Thank you representative. The genocide must end. The violence must end. There must be equality for all and democracy in a single state.
Nationalization of the defense industry would make it more accountable to the public - cutting out the influence of lobbyists aiming to maximize shareholder value at the expense of the American people. 🔗 Link to article: responsiblestatecraft.org/nationalizat...
Love to fight antisemitism by telling a Jew he's an antisemite who doesn't understand being Jewish because he opposes genocide www.mediaite.com/media/podcas...
Yep! People can sniff out disingenuousness. If you have no policy to backup your posts then people won’t buy it.
Dems will do anything other than be the progressive champions ppl need them to be. I got invited to a conference to present on social media to explain politics/policy & I ended by saying that u can have the most polished videos & it won’t matter if ur message is a lie www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
Even this framing from PSA sounds deranged, there is no worthy “debate” over trans rights. Trans people deserve full rights and equal protections and freedom under the law full stop. There is no reasonable other “side” on this issue.

Why is Portland’s DA Nathan Vasquez screwing around while Gestapo goons run through the city terrorizing and kidnapping people? WTF do we pay him for? These Gestapo goons are the very lawless “criminal element” that Vasquez swore he would crackdown on.
So anyway if anyone wants to contact Portland’s DA Nathan Vasquez here’s his office’s information. Maybe remind him that he is an elected official and he is to prosecute ICE’s crimes. #abolishICE
This is how it’s done! 🔥 Arrest and prosecute ICE! #abolishICE
For years, Portland's citywide elections historically favored candidates living in more central, wealthier and white neighborhoods. That changed when voters overhauled the structure of municipal government. Now, tens of thousands of people who've felt ignored may have a chance to be heard.
Yes I agree aipac goons are responsible. She’s not one of them. Be sane and rational. Unhinged and wild accusations don’t help.
“Conforming nicely” by calling out Israel? Nothing you’ve said so far proves anything about her being pro-Israel.
Where’s your evidence of this claim? Because she’s been consistent about opposing what Israel is doing.
You won't see this trumpeted across the local right-wing news rags
Her bosses? You mean her constituents that consistently re-elect her? If you’re going to criticize someone at least stay grounded in reality and not make up delusional nonsense.
Yeah was a bad decision. Doesn’t make her pro-Israel. You can be critical of someone without being an unhinged delusional lying psycho.
You think posting is the only thing people can do huh? Speaks volumes about you. I agree she should’ve voted yes on the amendment but she did ultimately vote no on the bill that the amendment was for. Ultimately she voted against sending Israel weapons. Pay attention. Ding dong.
Is that why Pelosi sabotaged AOC from being on the oversight committee? Pelosi literally was making phone calls with a broken hip to install Gerry Connolly. Truly the most brain broken dipshit who hate AOC this obsessively. You don’t need to lie about people to criticize them.
Is that why she called it a genocide on the house floor and supports an arms embargo? You haven’t a clue wtf you’re yapping about.
Says the guy saying “let’s be just like Nazis to defeat them” Get lost
they’re calling the most recent shooter in minnesota trans to ignore the fact that there has been an organized group of far-right suicidal school shooters and this person is very likely going to be linked to them as well
What makes it easy for republicans to win is democrats who think we should be exactly like them. Take your Nazi apologia loser 🚮 and get out of the Democratic Party. You’re a liability.
Delulu
Oh you’re an op doing wrecker behavior
You sure do. Attacking allies with zero evidence. Wrecker behavior
Cool and none of these people were who I was saying that other dingus was wrong about
Still more pictures not in the same category as lying about AOC
This agrees with the point I was making
The first NAZI book burning was of literature from a trans clinic
I’m predisposed to not believing those kinds of claims until it’s been confirmed by credible sources. Of course the right is desperate to latch onto anything (long hair or a name like that)
Photoshopped pic and of two National Democrats? So what? I could just as easily find a pic of Rashida or Ilhan with Biden.
Democrats can’t win by being like republicans
My story is at the top of the @wired.com homepage, read my scoop about the Democrats secret paid influencer efforts! www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
Ms Rachel and Hasan Piker being in the top 10. Love to see it. 🙌
Theo Von is a Polish aristocrat. It’s true.
Bottom right doesn’t belong in your collage
Kirkland Columbian coffee was like $12 a few months ago and now it’s $22.99. Trump tariffs are kicking in. Everything is getting more expensive.
That’s a lot of money and it’s 💯 working against democrats. The people driving this are a liability to the success of the Democratic Party.
