No. This isn’t a scene from an Armageddon film. This is Gaza. And the world sits on its hands in silence as the US and Israel continue this Holocaust with absolute impunity.

No matter what the corporate elite tell you, let me make something clear: Universal health care is not radical. A living wage is not radical. Dignity in the workplace is not radical. Higher education without debt is not radical. Affordable housing is not radical.
