Hasan Piker: “My goal is to instill class consciousness in people and help them identify who is actually causing harm to them and in my assessment it’s the billionaires and the corporations not the vulnerable populations. It’s not a trans person or a Guatemalan migrant that’s raising your rent, it’s your landlord”

This moment demands a reset. J Street is calling for the U.S. to end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally. J Street supports: – Phasing out taxpayer-funded military aid by 2028, when the current agreement ends. – Ensuring Israel can defend itself, by selling – not subsidizing – the weapons it needs, including Iron Dome. – Enforcing U.S. law on how American arms are used, including withholding certain weapons when those laws are not met. Why now? The current U.S. aid agreement expires in 2028. This is the moment to chart a smarter path forward. At the same time, after the devastation in Gaza and ongoing suffering in the West Bank, it is clear that the status quo is no longer sustainable. Israel is strong, prosperous and capable of paying for its defense. Treating Israel as an exception and supplying it with a blank check worth billions has made support for the country more divisive and less sustainable. Simply put, the U.S. should treat Israel like any other partner. The normalization of this relationship doesn’t weaken the alliance – it strengthens it, protects democracy and secures long-term bipartisan support.

Axios: AOC also has had a fraught relationship with some progressives who helped launch her political career. Her first chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, co-founded Justice Democrats, a group that helped Ocasio-Cortez with her insurgent House campaign in 2018. Chakrabarti is running for Congress in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district in San Francisco, but Ocasio-Cortez pointedly hasn't endorsed him in the June 2 primary.

I just think it’s really funny that dude who’s never won an election wants to give a lecture about what it takes to win an election. 🤭

If your goal is building progressive political power, your response to Democrats coalescing around ending military aid to Israel is going to be: "Years of activism went into this, let's keep working." If your goal is performing radicalism on this website: "This must be an op."

Who would AOC's running mate be? If she picked someone with leftist cred like Kshama Sawant or Jill Stein that might help her with the tanky vote. But someone like Rahm Emanuel could help in swing states.

Progressive / lefty folks Would you rather have Slotkin or Newsom

My queen, how about we stop paying attention to what leftists think? What they gonna do? Not vote?💀

Slotkin’s doing a lot of ground-level work in the midterms in the middle of the country:
