It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.
Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.
But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.
it may feel a little like homework, but i genuinely think people should read the lincoln-douglas debates to see what the practical politics of anti-slavery looked like in an environment where the public was neutral to hostile to the question of emancipation
CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨
People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend.
Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6
Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.
Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.
No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."
Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
Everyone has the right to love and be loved, regardless of gender.
No one can infringe on the ability to express love
Something so simple has become complicated in our world
Let's all raise our voices to solve this problem and create a world where we can express love freely and openly.
we have love♡
I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.
Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.
The current climate is especially accelerating this.
Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶
Before you ask Google, or Siri, or Alexa, take a moment to think about the data farms that are destroying towns, generating heat, and using all the water. Is it really worth all that to just ask how to make sloppy joes?
Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.
Every day, I pray for a world where everyone is kind and respectful of each other, regardless of gender.
May unreasonable attacks against transgender people end🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
May today be filled with happiness and love for you all🤍
I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.
just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg
currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter
What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.
Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.
Today marks six months until Election Day! I don't ask often, so when I do I try to make it count: Can you chip in $5, $10, or our average donation of $32 to help my campaign cover the costs of paying our staff and reaching voters? secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...
This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

I’m not saying Britain has gone entirely batshit crazy but a Reform councillor in Wales has just stormed out of a local Torfaen Council meeting in Gwent because it failed to acknowledge the killing of a man in America.
In other news, Britain has gone entirely batshit crazy.
Education is the enemy of fascism.
257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
Americans exercising their First Amendment rights, and he wants them thrown in jail. He’s not only the world’s biggest wussie, he’s utterly un-American.👇
