SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Bunch of hypocrites. Albanese rolled Plibersek his first term by giving her the environment portfolio and sidelined her even more by vetoing the good policies agreed by a majority of invested people/groups.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!

Hello Chief and APD Leadership,

I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods.

Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital.

Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World

In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity.

I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.

All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important.

As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection.

We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further.

Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

I'm sorry, why are the media giving cover to the president by saying that the escalation in the Caribbean vis-à-vis Venezuela is about drugs? It's clearly about the fact that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and a regime change to privatize those benefits Trvmp and his donors.

Because they aren't protesting in support of Hamas.

I mean, come on. Just stop.

They're protesting airstrikes on the Jabalia Refugee Camp, on Sheikh Radwan and Al-Maghazi buildings, on Al-Najjar, Abu-Mueileq, and Al-Naouq Family homes...

In France & throughout Europe during WWII, women like Lucie Aubrac, organized escapes for captured fighters, ran underground presses, carried secret messages, & coordinated sabotage missions. Women were the logistical backbone of the Resistance; without them, it would have collapsed.
