The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

Is Melania caining Trump's hands? youtu.be/u9SmgPL0BwE?...
Do we have something to look forward to? youtu.be/cdsXTIK2GVo?...
Yes. Workers are getting hammered.
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Definitely a hate crime.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Did AI write this?
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Also, you are pro-genocide. I am not going to take your claims seriously either.
I'm not taking the "Christian atheist" seriously about anything. He also has transphobic takes. Not exactly what I would consider a leftist. His racist takes are all over right-wing YT, too. Your smear of Mehdi is ridiculous. Mehdi Hasan has WAY more credibility than Dawkins.

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
You're the one who clearly doesn't know how the sausage is made.
Here's the other part of the game they're running on you. Arms dealers like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon also contribute "donations" (AKA: Bribes) to PACs that get them elected... Just like David Rubenstein's company did with Biden's campaign. www.opensecrets.org/political-ac...
Here's how it works. The politicians send your tax dollars to Israel and call it 'foreign aid.' Then Israel sends it back in their Super PAC and other PACs. AIPAC most well known. www.opensecrets.org/political-ac...
Guess where Biden spent his 1st Thanksgiving. With family? No. With an evil billionaire who sells weapons. You think those vetoed resolutions at the UN were an accident? No. Biden = Trump They sell weapons, silly. But, you have a bone to pick with me? Grow up www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-th...
It's funny how you literally parroted all of the predictable talking points of the corporate media. 1. Biden absolutely had the authority to stop arms transfers 2. Biden absolutely had the power to stop sending "foreign aid" 3. Leahy Law is crystal clear, and Israel definitely committed GVHRs
You're just smearing me. Look at the facts. The Biden administration provided material support for genocide and blocked every resolution at the UN. It's obvious they rhetoric is the only difference. Name a policy difference. I have receipts, though. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11...
No. I don't support Trump. A quick glance at my profile is all that takes to figure that out. I am just consistent about policy and the principles that I have. You should try it sometime instead of trying to smear me.
Trump is worse on Ukraine. We should support Ukraine and we should support Palestine. They are defending themselves. We also should have supported to Kurds. Trump isn't worse on Israel. His rhetoric might be worse, but his policy is the same.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Leahy Law GVHRs include acts like torture, extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and rape. Assistance is permitted to resume if the foreign government takes effective steps to bring the responsible individuals to justice. You like those and disagree with the law, is what you were stating?
The "Leahy Law" is a pair of U.S. statutes that prohibits the provision of U.S. assistance to foreign security force units that have committed "gross violations of human rights"
Billionaire Republicans don’t give a damn:
Leahy Law is pretty clear. I don't disagree with it. Clearly, you don't get that millions of people, not just me, disagree with the evil Zionists who slaughter Palestinians.
It's funny how millions of people all think the same thing, and you are literally incapable of criticizing the person who deserves it the most. Biden and Harris had the power to win. They needed to change their policy. THEY are accountable for THEIR actions. Not me. www.newsweek.com/democrat-net...
And YES! I will absolutely blame Biden for Trump's victory because he wouldn't drop out when they had internal polling that said he would lose with 100% certainty. His frickin' ego is why we are here now.
Actually, I think that was terrible. That has nothing to do with whether Biden had the power to invoke the Leahy Law and stop providing material support for a genocide. You are making baseless accusations because you assume I support the GOP deathcult. I don't. I don't support either evil dotard.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Because his brain is soup.
Toll likely to rise, with significant damage reported across mountainous region in eastern Afghanistan, sources say.
Obviously, Trump is a liar. I am not sure what that had to do with Biden providing material support for a genocide. Citing MSNBC is hilarious. They fired all of their journalists who criticized Israel. That being said, you can catch Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo and get the truth. #Zeteo

You mean I know what has been happening, and you are regurgitating what the talking heads told you to parrot.

Biden never planned on allowing enough food in. It is widely reported Israel never let enough food in. Those were optics stunts. www.npr.org/2024/07/15/n...
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
No. Biden's own administration had officials quitting because he gave orders to violate the Leahy Law. You don't apparently know what happened.
Biden just provided material support for it.
Trump is worse on every domestic matter. However, genocide is genocide. There is no worse act. There is no better or worse version. I watched Biden lie, mislead, and attack those of us who protested. That's fascism. It was here before 2025. If you don't understand that, I don't know what to tell you
I mean, that doesn't really change what I think about the situation. Biden sent weapons, sent billions of tax payers dollars, and made excuses. Then you are bringing up something about these two? I don't really care. There shouldn't have been a lane for them. Biden should have stopped the shipments.
I do know. I paid attention and understand that Biden doesn't need to send weapons to those committing genocide. You need to pay more attention.
No. The difference between you and me is that you don't hold the powerful accountable. Instead, you buy into their divide and conquer strategy. You act like I voted for Trump. That would never happen. The fact is that Biden allowed the genocide, too. You just didn't pay attention.
Trump invasion causes fire. mltnews.com/immigration-...
I think you need to ask yourself why you don't mind the fact that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden didn't do anything to stop the genocide when they weilded the power. Why? Why doesn't it bother you just as much when Biden/Harris send bombs to Israel to slaughter those people? Hmmm?
Biden supported the genocide the entire time. You can't put that on me. Harris had the power, not me. You don't seem to have an issue with her for so.e strange reason. Millions of people protested & the Biden administration opposed us and locked people up, just like Trump. Face it, they're evil, too
The genocide was just as bad under Biden. You are living in denial.
You mean I joined people who pressured the Harris campaign to distance herself from Biden's pro-genocide policy. I also remain consistent afterward in opposing Trump's pro-genocide policy instead of being a political hack and hurting the party's credibility. See the difference?
While I agree with the pressure they put on Harris to distance herself from Biden and commit to ending the genocide in Gaza, I can't help but notice they aren't as committed to opposing Trump right now. He is doing the same things the Biden administration was by arming Israel.
This is horrifying. But, we already live in occupied cities. Whatever Supreme Court does to ruin this country further is probably not as big of a deal as being sent to a concentration camp.
After losing an appeal against CNN, Alan Dershowitz plans to ask the Supreme Court to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan, the 1964 case that protects journalists and others from weaponized lawsuits. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/29/b...
Here’s your chance to send a little note to human dial tone Bill Cassidy, y’all.
I make my donations to Doctors without Borders. It's the only way I can be sure to get some aid into Gaza.
🤣
And expected.
See... I was thinking they should hound him at least twice as much.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
I am going to help you with words. Let's look at a definition. Definition Belligerent: Hostile and aggressive Let's review the posts and see who better fits that Definition, shall we?
Museums don't focus on it enough. We do need more discussion of the failures of the Reconstruction period.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Lol
Win the pro-genocide award? I wasn't going for that one. You can have it.
Sounds like you're angry that I called you out for supporting the genocide of Palestinians. I have news for you. I don't need your approval. I'm down to expose the evil of the Zionists in either party.
If you don't care, then why do you keep responding? You are over here making baseless accusations that are easily disproven, and I get why you pretend not to care. You would have to when it is so easy to point out your flaws.
Let me show you a screen shot from 13 days ago. Read 'em and weep. There is only one of us who is morally consistent on issues. If you don't stick to your principles and only have criticism based on party affiliation, you're just a hack.
While I like him, he isn't effective at messaging. That was his job. We needed someone more effective in communications to play that role.
I think he did his job somewhat poorly. He didn't combat vaccine skepticism effectively. He also created a kerfuffle over masks by saying we don't need them, then backtracking. While I understand he was trying to protect healthcare workers during a mask shortage, he should have just said that.
That's because you don't look at my posts, which is super easy. Or it is because you are lying. Pick one.
Genocide is destroying the Democrats. It's time to confront the moral rot in this party. Time to replace these sociopaths with good, moral leaders who reflect the interests of their base. We need more like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib& Jamaal Bowman. youtu.be/cl16aUxnlXQ?...

Don't want to hear the truth about dear leader? Sort of like MAGA, right? Can't face the facts that questioning the powerful is legit in a democracy.
Nope. I paid attention. You should, too.
No. I didn't. I wanted a better candidate. Joe Biden made it worse by staying in the race when he was an evil vegetable.
Lucky for you there are a billion books about how the Nazis did this very thing!
You're evil for supporting their deaths. You know that, right? You're angry with me for asking better from our leaders than behaving like psychopaths? How dare you?!?
