Earlier this week, ICE raided a home in East Oakland. This is the first confirmed raid in Oakland. oaklandside.org/2025/08/13/s... If you see them again in our county, call the ACILEP hotline at 510-241-4011 to confirm. www.acilep.org ACILEP will verify, and provide support to the community.
After this poor performance she missed the joint Resolution of Disapproval votes to block arms to Israel for an appearance on Stephen Colbert. Dems are not here for their constituents. They are as full of shit as their red counterparts.
@slotkin.senate.gov your funding of Israel is disgusting. Selling out the American people and the poor Gazans for a nice little payout from AIPAC. You should be ashamed!
This is real journalism, pressing a Senator from Michigan who has received $650k from AIPACThank you @krystalball.bsky.social for not letting up and holding her to answer for her despicable voting record. This should be the standard for all media interviews. Primary her. youtu.be/AFrEJTFbSTc?...
Overturn #CitizensUnited NOW
@aoc.bsky.social perfect example of controlled opposition fake fake fake. we need real progressives. not ones like this one that dip their toes in here n there. we need progressives like Mamdani that dive into the deep end and make no apologies for it. i pray he isn't another disappointment like AOC
you wish you were as brave as Mamdani. gtfo and stop trying fo ride his coattails to make yourself seem progressive. his success would still be even without your endorsement which came pretty late no?
what do you think "not another nickel, not another dime means"? trying to mansplain to us like we dont understand our own rage against the impunity given to š®š± gov and military to do what the f they want. sit down. we'll see if you have that seat for much longer.
You are a political hack and you haven't accomplished shit other than stomping for corporate dems and following Bernie around AFTER what he is saying or doing proves very popular. you don't take risks or a real stand and are just pandering to get a cushy job in a higher rank. we see through you
Your record speaks for itself. U gaslit us by claiming the last administration was working tirelessly to broker a ceasefire while they were spreading misinformation & sending $Bs in weapons for š®š± to mass murder children. You voted for H. Res 1449 which conflates any criticism of š®š± w anti semitism.

Huge turnout in the Everglades for a protest against Alligator Alcatraz, the Ron DeSantis tent prison for migrants. Itās ominous how fast theyāre building it. Will cost $450 million and be ready very soon.

So the U.S., a democracy, just attacked Iran without a vote or any input from Congress. Iran, an authoritarian regime, just held a debate and vote in parliament over whether to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
Since 1992 #Netanyahu has been claiming #Iran is years to months away from have a nuke.. he finally got want he wanted after 40 years, this truly evil man has been given exactly what he's wanted by #Trump #noWarinIran www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjvTsahY/
"We have to do everything we can to demand an end to these atrocities and war crimes committed by Israel," says Greta Thunberg, speaking from the Mediterranean Sea. She and other activists are sailing to Gaza to deliver badly needed humanitarian aid being blocked by Israel.

Over the past week, US-Israeli centers designated for the distribution of so-called āhumanitarian aidā have repeatedly turned into death traps for starving Palestinians in Gaza.

Nothing makes me laugh more than white folk and white adjacent folk asking how did we get here? Maybe go read real history books for starters
A new U.S.-Israeli plan to give out limited amounts of food in Gaza has led to chaotic scenes this week, as thousands of starving Palestinians have overrun the distribution points. "This is all just trickery that is being used to further the genocide," says @jeremyscahill.com from @dropsitenews.com.
Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
Shift the balance of power. Donāt buy their cars. Donāt watch their movies. Donāt read their books. Donāt buy their merch. Donāt invest in their crypto. Donāt use their social media. Donāt visit their theme parks. Donāt dress as their characters. Donāt wear their hats. Donāt spread their propaganda.
Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Victoria Rose describes the types of injuries, particularly suffered by children, that she has treated during volunteer medical missions in Gaza's remaining hospitals.

In his first live interview since his release from ICE detention, Palestinian activist @mohsenofpalestine.bsky.social reflects on the "interconnectedness between injustices."
Cast of "Get Him to The Greek" in court this month in 2 countries. #RussellBrand for g.r.*.p.e in The UK and #SeanCombs for sex trafficking in The US.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
Israelās Channel 13 has aired a report detailing how the administration of former President Joe Biden allowed Israel to carry out its slaughter in Gaza with total impunity, with one senior official admitting it amounted to ākilling and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying.ā
Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

As a Californian, please no. Go away. She is not the change we need right now but the complacency and capitulation of the Corporate Dems that got us here in the first place. Push ur reps to vote for H.J.Res 54 To get money out of politics by #overturnCitizensUnited www.movetoamend.org/amendment
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... This will be a long term effort to primary and fund new candidates. Time to galvanize across party lines and actually make our country what we have been promised it to be. For the people! By the people!
@jayapal.house.gov introduced H.J.Res.54 We the People Amendment in February of this year, 2025. An amendment that would #OverturnCitizensUnited We need to hold all from both parties to get this legislation into law. If they don't, we primary every single one of them. Rinse and repeat.
Heās right.
How can anyone think this is okay?
Exactly. Read between the lines. What a shit head
Thank you #Canada . Toll free suicide hotline for Americans. Men d*e by suicide at astronomical numbers when the economy goes to shit. #americafirst though right?
The Houthis have offered to stop striking American ships if we stop striking them ā which is what Trump demanded ā yet Trump hasnāt taken the deal. Heās going to get some American service members killed.

Any Dem that let #CitizenUnited get passed and haven't uttered a word to overturn it during their seat in office needs to be primaried. Voters must hold accountable those running for those seats to prioritize #OverturnCitizensUnited. If they don't genuinely fight to get it overturned, they're out!
It's obvious and very simple. People in power rarely give it by choice. They use the idea that they know better and how to work within the system to be more effective... Yet they weren't able to stop fascism in our country. They need to get out of the way. Their strategy so far has failed us all.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldnāt rely on favoritism and nepotism
Straight up evil
@davidhogg.bsky.social, now a vice chair of the DNC and champion for younger constituents, is proposing #DNC spend $20M to #primaryDemocrats who have been ineffective at battling #Republicans and their far right agendas. As an Independent, Ex-Dem, I could get behind this young man and his vision.
Just like my "Stop b* mbing innocent children in The Mid East" sign. Pulled it out for the previous administration and again for this current one. Its f**ked up
Watch this #RATM video to see the struggles of #Americans then still hold true today. Since 1992 and earlier #thedemocrats are also complicit in diminishing #theworkingclass econ stability. Both parties block/limit our political power to combat corporate greed #droppartylines #medicare4all
I don't want to be a #leftypurist but we've been duped by Democrats over and over. Am I protecting myself from another disappointment. As Hasan points out, AOC has shown willingness to fall back inline w Dems. I'm an independent looking for a real leader to support. I want it to be AOC.
#HasanPiker on why @aoc.bsky.social has challenges as a Bernie successor. My own support wavers for #AOC. My heart wants to but my instincts r telling me she will never push against #CorporateDems in the way our #workingclass truly needs to break the chains from #corporations & #techbro giants.
Lets not dismiss prestigious universities have an unreasonable amount of power and financial abundance. In the #BayArea, #StanfordUniversity is the largest landowner w 8,100 acres. More than #Google #Apple #Intel combined. Considering we've been in a #housingcrisis that shouldn't sit right w anyone.
@krystalball.bsky.social and @esaagar.bsky.social discuss Ā£lon admitting #DOGE eliminated a mere 15% of the $2T in cuts he promised while T's Admin is upping Pentagon budget to $1T. Damage is done by cutting white collar crime. gov will be more efficient at fing over #workingclass #Americans now
So glad #BarbaraLee won the election and is our new Mayor! She voted against the #Iraqwar and called for a #ceasefire in G@za back in May 2021 and October 2023. She is unflinching in her commitment to her constituents and her #antiwar ideology. Proud to have voted for her again.
