So USAID is eliminated and suddenly the Democrat Party literally goes bankrupt. That’s interesting.

The way this ticket would heal the divide between the Democratic Party.

There’s a cohort of less-than-pragmatic leftists (not me!) on here who don’t realize these are the ingredients for an 08 Obama-numbers electoral victory and that’s okay. We can just ignore them

Puerto Rico should be a state, its time to end colonization

GAZA: THE SUFFERING CONTINUES Today in Gaza, most of the TV cameras are gone and media interest has declined. But, more than nine months after the announcement of a supposed “ceasefire”, the suffering of the Palestinian people continues. Today, 92% of housing units in Gaza are damaged or destroyed, 70% of the entire population lacks adequate housing and is forced to live in makeshift shelters, 86% of agricultural water wells have been damaged, the vast majority of households report significant challenges in accessing safe and clean sanitation facilities and 90% of all energy infrastructure has been destroyed. And what about the children? Today in Gaza, 91% of school-aged children do not have sustained access to in-person education, 93% of school buildings will require full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to be functional again and 70% of infants and young children under two years of age are experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity. All of this is taking place after the horrific destruction that Netanyahu’s extremist government brought to Gaza over the last three years: more than 73,000 Palestinians killed and 173,000 wounded — mostly women, children and the elderly. In addition, virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza was destroyed. Israel now controls an estimated 70% of Gaza, well beyond what they agreed to, and has built dozens of military outposts inside Gaza since the “ceasefire” began. In the nine months since the “ceasefire” was announced, Israel has killed at least 1,150 Palestinians, including a family of six last week. Now, as if to remove any doubt about their intentions, senior leaders of the Netanyahu government are moving to make the occupation permanent. Recently, a number of government ministers led thousands of settlers to the Gaza border demanding new illegal Jewish settlements be built there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stood up and said "Gaza is ours." The shameful fact is that the United States is complicit in everything that is happening in Gaza. We have funneled tens of billions of dollars in military aid to an Israeli government that has consistently violated international law and whose leader is a war criminal. The good news is that the American people are catching on. More and more Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents — are demanding that we stop all military aid to Israel and use our considerable leverage to end the suffering of the Palestinian people. Enough is enough! Congress must listen to the American people. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The DSCC paired Troy Jackson up with Scott Colom, the Democratic US Senate nominee in Mississippi, in their last post.

Other than Guyana's insane oil money, Puerto Rico is already the richest country in Latin America, and they would be significantly better off without the Jones Act endlessly hampering them. We should repeal the Jones Act, or at the very least exempt Puerto Rico permanently.

Independence and reparations for the Puerto Rican people is a necessary position in the larger fight to dismantle U.S. empire. Same goes for Guam, Hawai’i, American Samoa, and all other lands and peoples occupied by the U.S. colonial project.
