If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

A new Intercept investigation reveals that Amazon continued selling cloud and AI services to Israeli weapons makers Rafael and IAI during Israel’s genocide in Gaza, linking Big Tech directly to the bombs that killed 100s of thousands civilians.

BREAKING: ICE to Be Deployed with DOJ Election Monitors in Latino Communities — Here’s What They’re Not Telling You A coordinated federal operation is being activated under Project 2025 to intimidate Latino voters, suppress turnout, and quietly federalize state elections ahead of 2026.

This may be our last chance.

I think they are two different sets?

The Republicans that wanted to send the marshals at the Dems were Texas State Representatives in the State Legislature.

The Republicans not showing up for work to keep the government shut down are U.S. Representatives in Congress.

You Don’t Argue With Extremists. You Organize Against Them Studies shows debate is not the tool for political change that many believe, author and researcher Sarah Stein Lubrano argues.

"You Don’t Argue With Extremists. You Organize Against Them"

A fascinating piece from a researcher on why debates don't always work as a method of effecting change. As a debater, I don't agree with all of it, but Zeteo is all about encouraging... debate:

Reminder: China didn't "take" manufacturing from the West. Countries allowed their businesses to move manufacturing to China.

The businesses wanted to bypass pollution laws and impoverish the workforces of their own countries for profit, and bought-off politicians allowed it.

And another thing…the Farm Bureau is a huge insurance company not a group of Midwestern farmers.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

And Schumer and Jeffries should have kept the government shut down THEN, before all that money was approved for ICE through the legislature.

It's not shocking that communities fighting fascism, especially those facing the literal threat of destruction, do not see preserving it, making it a bit quieter and more efficient, as an acceptable outcome. Neither should you.

With a coziness with far-right figures, along with the Silicon Valley gentry who are one of the main elites behind American fascism, Newsom's poised to continue this pattern. Especially as he's very much on board with two major far-right projects: trans genocide and violently punishing the poor...

The Biden admin's pointed refusal to root out Trumpism, or even inflict any real consequences for it, also fit this pattern, as does his administration's embrace, spearheaded by Harris, of Trumpian anti-immigrant hatred. "The wall is a bigoted scam" became "we'll build the wall more efficiently."

I am old enough to remember how even plenty of liberals saw "Homeland Security" as a deeply creepy embodiment of Bush's post-9/11 police state bs, including the draconian changes to an (already bad!) immigration system. Then Obama's admin entrenched and expanded them (especially ICE)...

Viewed from this light, the most important moment preserving Nixonian reaction was when Carter kept the drug war laws and sweeping anti-left tax code changes around. Reagan's destruction, the type that defines all those graphs, was entrenched and expanded under Clinton...

An understated reason figures like Newsom are so dangerous is because what really advances the most violently reactionary parts of the American state aren't just the openly far-right rulers, it's their successors entrenching what they did. Newsom types aren't an end to fascism but its completion. 🧵

I'm back in my hometown of Fremont, the Bay Area. Everywhere there is amazing delicious food from all over South Asia and Afghanistan.

Racists are so dumb. Just embrace the flavors. Immigrants make your lives delicious. Enjoy it. But nope...they'd rather eat bitter hate instead.

And these people are born followers (otherwise they wouldn't be there) so that kind of thing really stings. Keep up the excellent work

If you want to use Portland as an example of "the RIGHT way to protest" to defame cities relying on more confrontational forms of resistance, reconsider. If you actually want to win this, you're going to need to have to get comfortable showing solidarity with people willing to get their hands dirty.

I am not an edgelord or a snob. I like the Portland frogs and I think humor (including humor that I personally find cringe) is absolutely essential to any political resistance project. But I challenge you to think of a single political regime that was toppled by humor alone. It is not enough.

NYPD Cop is sick and tired of TEMU cops AKA ICE GOONS racial profiling and harassing him.

It doesn’t matter if ICE agents ACTUALLY have immunity. It matters that they are being TOLD they do. THAT is what they will ACT upon.

ICE and CBP GOONS are patrolling Chicago in unmarked civilian cars, kidnapping and disappearing people for filming.
