“Why is a toxic chemical plant built here in a working class neighborhood?” Tens of thousands of people in Garden Grove, California were hastily evacuated due to a toxic chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace plant that began on Thursday, May 21. Residents blasted the city’s response, telling BT that the evacuation orders were unclear, the resources they were given were insufficient, and many families ended up sleeping in their cars.

8 men have as much wealth as 3.6 billion people, but for some reason, those of us who rely on SNAP benefits are being targeted. As working people, we must continue to rise together and fight against this broken system. It's long overdue. seiu.co/4nMjSWM

AIPAC is a political lobbying organization that (by its own eponym and admission) advocates for Israel—a nation state, with tanks and bombs and F-22s. Attempting to reframe this as a “double standard” for “American Jews” is more whinny sectarian horseshit
Dan Senor@dansenor

In too many competitive Democratic primaries, there’s now a double standard applied to American Jews active in politics. Which other candidates today would call out the double standard the way @GovernorShapiro does here? (@JoshShapiroPA)

In a sea of repeated ceasefire violations by Israel against Gaza, it remains important to note that Israel signed a ceasefire deal with *Hamas* yet continues to openly assassinate and attempts to assassinate Hamas officials and commanders, in addition to killing civilians daily.

I gathered, reported the evidence for these claims of U.S. complicity, including identifying the U.S.-built Israeli naval vessel that abducted the flotilla west of Crete, the U.S.-made munitions, and A likely U.S. plane that surveilled the fleet. Will place those reports below
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker

New: Flotilla organizers say "The Torture Boat" (where many of IDF soldiers' most severe abuses against humanitarians allegedly took place) was *US-built & funded ship.* Alleged abuses include beatings, sexual assault, tasing. Stun grenades & projectiles also allegedly US-made.

Since 1982, the wealth of California’s billionaire class – the top 0.0002% – has been multiplied by 30. It has grown by 144% between 2023 and 2025 only. California’s billionaires now own $2.3 trillion in wealth, equivalent to 50% of California’s GDP and about 10% of California’s total wealth.

Deeply cynical and dishonest. The idea that activists are “silencing” billionaires who overwhelmingly give to republicans and MAGA lunatics is the final boss of standpoint liberalism
Jacob N. Kornbluh@jacobkornbluh

In interview with @jmart, Josh Shapiro on AIPAC spending: “I think it's been used cynically by some to try and silence certain voices, to try and say that certain people participating in politics shouldn't count or should be viewed in a toxic way…. “What you are seeing is not, ‘AIPAC money’ or however it was termed, but you're getting ‘the Jews who give to that candidate who also support AIPAC.’”

Rooting for em but I have been and remain pessimistic re: the successful implementation of wealth taxes. I don't think you can squeeze that kind of money out of that kind of people without at least directly threatening them with guns. Happy 2 B wrong! nytimes.com/interactive/20…
