Yes. His father was a slave and he was genius with a knack for languages. He was one of the best of us…

We know the definition of Zionism, this hasbara you’re spreading isn’t going to change that, and weaponizing Blackness to defend a racist ideology is gross. Once again, this is nothing new; Black people have been speaking the truth about Zionism for years.

I think one takeaway from everything going on right now is that it is the people with guns, not elected officials, that have the power in your city/community/country

I think Joe is mistaking the critique being deployed here. Drawing attention to the futility of this entire venture is the point. Winning the mayorship was a massive, unprecedented undertaking for NYC socialists and they are now confronted with how useless it actually was.
I'm baffled that socialists drop materialist analysis when analyzing socialists in power. Liberals think the mayor can direct the police. Socialists should recognize the police as a militarized, influential, reactionary class that can destroy his administration.

Same guy actively opposed DSA creating red lines around Zionism for members and elected officials and openly supported the liquidation of the organization’s sole national Palestine organizing body just before October 7th by the way. A photo op doesn’t erase that recent history.
No war criminals in NY. While the UN welcomed Netanyahu, socialists joined hundreds of NYers in the streets to protest the ongoing genocide in Palestine and demand an end to wars on our dime. I joined them and put my body on the line because nobody is free until we’re all free.

DSA mayor can't reign in the NYPD. What will a DSA president be able to do against the military industrial complex? Nothing at all. The whole system is purpose-built for this. It's not reformable.
I like how we’ve gone from “Zohran said he is going to disband the SRG and reign in the NYPD” to “Well you have to understand there’s just nothing he can really do as the head of the city the police are just such a strong force he has no control over them”. A joke of a shift.

Possibly the greatest dialogue exchange in all of Star Trek, one of my favourite scenes from the franchise, and the moment I realised how special this show was. The Bajoran/Cardassian conflict is so complex & emotive. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #KiraNerys (#DS9 1x20)

She has faced more consequences for protesting a genocide than Benjamin Netanyahu has for committing one.

On the same day @netanyahu, the fugitive co-murderer of Minab’s schoolgirls, is allowed to overfly Greece, France, Italy and Canada, Iranian civilians are denied overflight rights solely for being Iranian.
A Varesh Airlines flight from Tehran to Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan, had to return to IKA Airport in Tehran after neighbouring countries between Iran and Tajikistan had denied passage of this Iranian passenger plane. The Iranian plane then attempted to use an alternative route and enter Tajikistan via Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan did not allow that either. It’s very very unfortunate that our neighbouring countries are submitting to Trump’s forceful request. What’s sad is that if the roles were reversed, Iran would probably have been the first country to help them. Massive loss of respect.

All of the bigoted teens in this video will quite literally have guns in their hands within a few years when they're sent by Israel to enforce apartheid conditions on the Palestinian children they imagine to be so violent.
"Should we commit genocide in Gaza?" "Do you think there are any innocents in Gaza?" The series of comedian Lior Schlein talking to the youth of Israel continues, and this time he hears why even babies are not innocent. The full scale Nazification of Israeli youth is truly shocking.

What Bari Weiss did to the great Palestinian poet and author Refaat Alareer -- directing the IDF to murder him by deliberately and blatantly distorting his mockery of Israeli lies about Oct 7 into a celebration of the attack -- has never been fully acknowledged or confronted:
On October 30, 2023 Bari Weiss pinned a target to Refaat Al-Areer’s back. With a single post, she sentenced him to death. Bari Weiss knew there were no babies put in ovens by Hamas on October 7… or any other day for that matter… but she saw an opportunity to doom a man who was superior to her in both intellect and humanity and she took it. Just 37 days later, on December 6, 2023, Refaat was murdered, along with 6 of his family members, when an IDF precision strike surgically targeted him in his sister’s 2nd floor apartment. Refaat had fled to his sister’s home a couple days prior after receiving an anonymous phone call from a man claiming to be an IDF officer who said they knew exactly which shelter he was at with his wife and children and ground troops were coming for him. Bari Weiss is an evil, spiteful bitch and the story of how she had a brilliant professor, and loving husband and father murdered is the only thing she should ever be remembered for.

I don’t think there’s a statement that better captures the conservative world view
“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

Israel can blow up an entire neighborhood in Lebanon without generating any headlines in Western media. They want you to believe this is normal.

This is what government run by corporations and the politicians they've purchased looks like.
“Not one single person in that room was for the data center. And the city council just went ahead and approved it,” says Jazmin Villegas, who lives in Red Oak, Texas. cbsn.ws/4rnNz2p
