Once again, Israelis are ‘hostages’ and Palestinians are ‘prisoners.’

It feels like Schumer is running her to prove the Democrats' critics wrong. I doubt it will work, but even trying shows how far removed they are from reality.

She’s running for office, so that’s a good reason to protest. Who said Trump isn’t complicit?

Chappel Roan for say “F—k ICE” and Neera Tanden is madder about it than Trump.

To call attention to her complicity in an ongoing genocide, and hopefully keep future genocidaires from power.

Until the Democrats stop pushing people out of their coalition, they’ll continue to lose: www.joewrote.com/p/centrism-s...

Centrists Shrank the Democratic Tent. Only the Left Can Expand It.

Motivated by their personal agenda, establishment Democrats pushed voters away in 2024. To repair that damage, the party needs a left-wing agenda.

Kamala Harris to anti-genocide protestors: “You want to talk about legacy? Let’s talk about the legacy of mass deportations, of not voting, and Donald Trump.”

Harris’s book recognized her Palestine position cost her precious votes. But she doesn’t seem to know that.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado is allied with Netanyahu's Likud Party and addressed a European far-right conference that called for a "Reconquista" against "Islam and wokism."

I worry this will tarnish other respected Nobel winners and nominees, such as Henry Kissinger and Hitler.

Bari Weiss at CBS won't help Israel. Americans are pissed that the media tried to hide a genocide and favored Palestinians instead. More condescending hasbara will only accelerate that trend, not reverse it.

At the behest of the Zionist lobby, Late Night with Stephen Colbert wanted to play a "thumbs up/thumbs down" game with Zohran Mamdani about the Gaza genocide.

Jaw-dropping inhumanity.

It's difficult to celebrate the pending ceasefire when it's likely Israel will break it (as they did with the January agreement), and if they don't, Trump/Bibi will still cleanse Palestine to build a Temu casino.

TRUMP: “Gaza’s gonna be slowly re-done. You have tremendous wealth in that part of the world.”

Sure sounds like that giant real estate deal coming together, like he (and Smotrich) have openly said. Anyone wanna bet Trump’s family gets a nice piece of the action?

Axios is reporting that 77-year-old Governor Janet Mills is joining Maine's Senate race. If elected, Mills will serve until she's 84. That's two years older than Biden is today.

To win elections, Democrats need to expand the coalitional tent and bring in voters who were alienated in 2024. That can only be done by moving left.
