Is Donald Trump’s Sweeping Gaza Peace Plan Really Viable? Many doubts prevail, but the deal is β€œpolitical gold” for Benjamin Netanyahu either way.

A new survey found that more Americans side with Palestinians than with Israelβ€”a first. In a seismic shift, a majority also oppose sending more aid to Israel, long the closest U.S. ally in the Middle East.

This should be a no brainer as the charge against her has been proven to be fiction. I really resent how much damage this court has done to our balance of power.

They lie like they breathe. It's the Dems in Congress that need to speak up more and call out all their lies. Eric Swalwell and a few others are doing a good job but most are silent. This is why our approval rating is low. Every Dem in the House and Senate needs to loudly call out every lie.

MAGA, if you're enjoyin' Trump's racist AI videos about Hakeem Jeffries, remember this. When this is all over, Trump will still have health care, but you won't.

Mamdani: "What we have built in this city is also an indication of what politics can be. After the November election, we heard that young people were leaving the Democratic Party, they were getting disinterested in politics. And we built a campaign where we said, what if we treated them w/ respect?"

Anytime, anywhere you hear anyone say that democrats have shut down the government, kindly correct them. The republicans shut down the government.

In the years before his death, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was apparently linked to billionaire and former Trump advisor Elon Musk, tech billionaire Peter Thiel, and Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, according to documents published by the House Oversight Comm.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

I Filmed the ICE Officer Who Shoved a Woman. It Felt Like the New Normal. I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a β€œNo Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

It’s time to #FreeMario now!

So remember how I talked about class consciousness and collective liberation and how important these things are to understand because all of our fates are tied to one another?

This is why.

If two wealthy white dudes with tv shows aren’t safe, none of us are.

We all we got.
