Justice is not driven by polling.

🚨 P.S. Do you want to know what the City has transferred so far from this "separate account" that's "holding these LAFD raises?" $35,025,000 to mainly pay for the City's Liability Payouts and litigation / outside counsel costs. FANTASTIC! x.com/lacontroller/status/18…

While firefighters were running out of water… Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night. The question is: did he use public water for this?

In 1980, Jimmy Carter and the Pentagon stifled South Korea's democracy by supporting the murderous general Chun Doo Hwan in his suppression of the largest uprising for democracy since the Korean War. Koreans fought back and won their democracy for themselves. You're a fool.

We are living through a historical period where a tiny network of billionaires has teamed up across USA/Russia/Europe/Middle East to absolutely destroy the futures of everyday people and our planet, all to further enrich themselves. Just like Karl Marx predicted, actually.

If this country didn’t treat incarcerated people like they’re subhuman, this story would be all over every news platform. But because these are Black men and the US prison system is the evolution of American chattel slavery, people don’t care.

Hats off to Bernie Sanders, Jon Ossoff & Brian Schatz, the 3 Jewish U.S. Senators who voted for legislation to restrict offensive arms sales to Israel. And to liberal American Jewish organisations like J Street that advocated for it, also. The Overton window is slowly shifting.

🧵Tracking Western government reactions to ICC arrest warrants against Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant and Hamas leader Deif.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say Biden has prioritized slaughtering Palestinians over doing anything whatsoever to help Americans weather the supposedly imminent end of our democracy. It is, by all appearances, the only thing he truly cares about.

It’s difficult to overstate what a big deal this is. ICC issued arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. icc-cpi.int/news/situation-s…

Trump plans to recall retired officers to active duty to court martial them for Afghan withdrawal will be a disaster for military morale and a political bomb for him. The Uniform Code of Military Justice is a codified Congressional statute and operates under Federal law…. not Stalinist show trials.

A frequent tool of dictators is to label political opposition groups as "terrorist groups" and shut them down. This bill - up for a vote this week - would give Trump the power to do just that. It's disastrous. And apparently there are House Democrats CONSIDERING VOTING FOR IT!

AIPAC is the single largest source of GOP spending in Democratic primaries. Let's give credit where credit is due.

City of Portland set to pay largest single settlement over allegations of excessive force by police during 2020 protests oregonlive.com/crime/2024/11…

Likely raped to death. A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics. Likely raped to death. The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

In a world in which consumers are voters, this does matter.

Thread 🧵 Undisclosed to the public, there are hundreds of former Israel Lobbyists working in America's newsrooms, shaping the way we understand the world. My new investigation lifts the lid on this network: mintpressnews.com/revealed-t…

Nominating Russian-asset Tulsi Gabbard as head of National Intelligence is establishes a direct pipeline of state secrets to Putin. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is also unconscionable, given he was under investigation for his role in an underage sex trafficking case.

Four years of “Fund the Police” that coincided with record levels of deadly police violence nationwide. mappingpoliceviolence.us

A criminal who incited an insurrection will "purge" generals who are "deemed unfit for leadership." Congrats, America.

And today’s word is….
