"When our days become dreary w/ low hanging clouds of despair & when our nights become darker than a 1,000 midnights, we will know that we are living in the creative turmoil of a genuine civilization struggling to be born." ~MLK

If you believe the class of people responsible for mass murder via war, starvation, poverty, exploitation, and oppression are going to give you free money once you lose your job to their AI, you need a new fucking brain.

The divorce that's needed is not between working people in red states and working people in blue states. What we desperately need is movements UNITING working people across America AGAINST the capitalist class and both their political parties. Both the Democratic and Republican parties represent the anti-worker warmongering agenda of the billionaires and multimillionaires. Democrats hold the Governor's mansion and majorities in both Houses of the Washington State Legislature. It is Democrats who have instigated billions of dollars in cut to social services in this state. Washington State Democrats have also presided over the nation's second-most (till recently, the most) regressive taxation rate, second only to the red state of Florida. In the very blue state of California, the Governor is a Democrat, and the Democratic Party has a super-majority or a near-super-majority in both Houses. These Democrats have crushed efforts for single-payer, universal healthcare THREE times. Congressional Democrats have refused to do anything meaningful to fight and defeat Trump's ICE terror, assault on Medicare and Medicaid, or the imperialist wars. In fact, a majority of Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate both voted in December to give Trump over $900 billion for war. My opponent, genocidal Democrat Adam Smith, was one of them. This is why at the same time that Trump's approval ratings are at an all-time low, so are those of the Democratic Party. This is also why my independent revolutionary socialist campaign for Congress against Adam Smith has working-class donations from all 50 states. Join us! kshamasawant.org Working people in all states are hungry for the kind of fighting strategy that my fellow revolutionary socialists and I used in Seattle when I was the lone socialist on the very blue City Council. My office needed to organize working people to overcome vicious opposition by the Democratic Party in order to win the nation's highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax, and unparalleled renter protections.

RAND PAUL VOTES TO SEND WEAPONS TO ISRAEL—ALL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HIM . . .

Today, we made noise for tenant’s rights! ✊🏾 The American Village Tenant Union, a chapter of the Kentucky Tenant Union (KTU), got a major victory against their big money slumlord, Capital Realty Group. This comes after KTU secured the biggest collectively bargained lease agreement in our country’s history and the first ever in the South. The people are fighting back, and I am so proud to stand in solidarity with them.

@jakki_jax Dont do it. Stay w him until the natural end.

I have to put my dog down tomorrow morning. It's just time, he's got multiple things going on. I knew for a long time this day was coming (he's a senior rescue) and I know we are doing the right thing. But I'm heartbroken and crying my eyes out anyway.

@e_galv What is a flock camera?

Americans should be concerned with flock cameras. But Americans should have been concerned with the surveillance state since the Patriot Act. You are surveilled everywhere… with facial recognition. This should be a major issue, but there’s a reason it’s rarely mentioned.

@russelldobular What kind of bread do u plan on putn that on?

My first strong craving for food from home after three and a half months in Asia is for a tuna sandwich with mayonnaise. This is the whitest thing I can admit.

@shelbystardust mayb u should sell ur photos & not ur paintings then.

the reality of being an artist on the internet is getting 20,000 likes on a painting and selling exactly 2 prints of it. so if you see me reposting my art, please don’t be mad 🥹

Shumer, Lutnick, & Erika Kirk walk into a bar. Of genocide. Israeli genocide. Against 680,000 Palestinians. And Lebanese. & Iranians.

Progressive Democrats including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ro Khanna, & Pramila Jayapal oppose U.S. funding for Israel's Iron Dome system, arguing it emboldens aggressive actions.

Wow, sounds like Iron Dome is really good. Let's build one for Gaza!

"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?" My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote: zeteo.com/p/chuck-schume…

@MichaelDMoeller The Battle of Barbourville was the 1st Confederate victory in KY.

Only in Kentucky can a single county claim the very first bloody Civil War battle in the state, and a massive autumn festival where the Cherokee Nation signs a symbolic peace treaty using river cane. Hi, I'm Michael. And I'm learning a little bit more about Kentucky. One county

Argentinian voter: “I voted for Javier Milei and now I can't afford rent. I’ll either vote for Milei again or I’ll leave the country, but I’ll still never vote for the socialists.” Owning the left by owning nothing at all. This is what capitalist indoctrination does to a person.

@Booker4KY Right on. Perfectamundo!

Trump is sending $20 BILLION cash to Iran to open the strait that was open six weeks ago! This madman started an illegal war and now can’t find his way out, so he’s sending “pallets of cash” to Iran. That’s after his war took the lives of service members, killed thousands of innocent civilians, and bombed a girls school. All while he spent billions of our tax dollars, hit us with rising gas prices, and led us into greater global instability. Damn his art of the deal. This presidency cannot end soon enough.

@ErinPetrey And u heard abt how the US govt got a satelittle company to not show the destruction of Iran? 500,000 to 1 million were killed Iraq. If we dont see it, then it can be denied, or whitewashed.

@johnnymasters The Lego videos are everywhere

Why are we still using this platform? I’ve asked this question before, but why does the media still use X mainly to get statements? Catch me over on Threads or Bluesky or Facebook or Instagram or Substack or LinkedIn or TikTok. This place has gone to crap.

@ErinPetrey I heard some platforms banned them. What social media app do u like the best & why?
