I'm cursed with actually knowing something about California high-speed rail, which a certain faction likes to use as a talking point. And I keep seeing complete falsehoods perpetuate. Eric Levitz, the state never, ever "allocated $33 billion" to HSR. That's part of the problem!

“It is the third such incident in three days, with Israel admitting for the first time during the recent events that its forces shot at individuals who were moving towards them.” theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

Not sure liberals understand that a permanent rupture has occured between them and the left over Gaza. It's impossible to take seriously any mention of social justice from people who ignore or downplay genocide.

NEW: Our investigation into the deadly shooting near an aid site in Gaza on Sunday points to the Israeli military opening fire on crowds of Palestinians as they tried to make their way to the fenced enclosure to get food. cnn.com/2025/06/04/mid…

Don’t get it twisted by the pundits. The best scientific evidence is that the 2020 BLM protests helped defeat Trump in the election. These protests are doing the same.

In the modern era, even “riots” and “violent” protests generate support, not backlash. The pundits on here just aren’t up on the evidence.

the 2024 student encampments on college campuses had movement discipline and the state still beat them, tear gassed them, expelled them, and in some cases deported them

A new satellite imagery analysis by Dr. He Yin of Kent State University shows that nearly all of Gaza's crops, tree cover and grassland have been damaged in Israel's invasion — devastation that some have said should be prosecuted as "ecocide."

The daily health ministry tolls out of Gaza are staggering. 123 Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours. At least 57 killed since this morning at so-called aid distribution sites, bringing the the total killed in aid massacres (a new common term in the genocide lexicon) to 224

For those in the US indignant about Trump but indifferent about genocide in Gaza - you will not find your way out of this crisis w/o dealing with the latter. These systems are connected - you cannot defeat fascism at home while committing genocide. #Thread #Gaza #LosAngeles
