Nonprofits are the janitors of capitalism.

We literally exist to clean up the messes created by greed and rugged individualism.

Antifa is an anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement to stand against fascist ideology, neo-Nazis and white supremacists thru nonviolent methods- poster campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.
I guess it used to be called ‘American’🇺🇸

This is Biden’s plan. Trump and Bibi kept the hostages chained underground so the could choreograph this moment.

Reagan playbook.

Fuck trump. Fuck Bibi.

Trump deserves credit for this deal. But is this really “the historic dawn of a new Middle East,” as Trump told the Knesset, with “a Holy Land that is finally at peace"? Unfortunately, all signs suggest there is nothing final about the peace that Gaza is belatedly enjoying. wapo.st/3W5yhAx

Opinion | Why the Gaza ceasefire won’t lead to lasting peace

“A new Middle East” will require sacrifices that Israelis and Palestinians show no sign of making.

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
