one under discussed part of the mamdani campaign was the usage of the video filters. every video used the same soft, humanizing tone consistently. it crafted a world around him. an aesthetic, almost utopian one. close shots, warm tones, delicate pacing. it framed him as the

12 hrs after fireworks competing for most toxic air in the world purple areas = smoking 20 cigarettes ultrafine soot crosses blood–brain barrier toxins now entering water and food celebrating life, our customs bathing us in death

Air quality inside my home versus hazardous outside from fireworks.

There’s a socialist running against warmongering Zionist Adam Smith— one with a proven record of securing real material gains in the fight for 15– and most of the left media is entirely indifferent to this race.

Ms Rachel says she won’t work with people who haven’t spoken out about Gaza. There are supposed to be consequences for genocide denial and support. Now imagine if more people with power and platforms did this.

I am sickened by what we’re seeing in Gaza right now. The IDF has blocked aid while shooting people waiting in food lines for what little aid is actually coming from the sham Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Israel needs to lift its blockade and the U.S. needs to stop sending bombs.

Last week you proudly posed with Netanyahu, the war criminal responsible for Israel’s policy of starvation and slaughter.

One of the most painful things about this is that it was immediately obvious to anyone paying attention where this was going. This isn't an "in retrospect" moment. So many people immediately saw that Israeli was ramping up for a "final solution," & we were called stupid &/or

I covered the Hannibal Directive in January of 2024 for Rising. Don't give them any credit for it though. They fire journalists for reporting accurately on Israel's crimes.

Two Americans have been killed by Israeli settlers in the past three weeks

55.6% of Jewish Israelis say they are "not at all troubled" by the "reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza". Another 23.4% are "not so troubled". Only 13.5% say "somewhat troubled". Just 6.7% say "very troubled". This is genocidal mania.

Words, tweets, and letters aren't enough. Members of Congress must end the funding now.

new: an Israeli spy-chief met Microsoft’s CEO and built one of the world’s most invasive surveillance systems, collecting “a million” Palestinian calls an hour, storing them on Microsoft servers abroad & using them for air strikes in Gaza and WB. (Reported with Harry Davies)

I feel like I’m leading two parallel lives. In one, I’m fine. I’m leading a comfortable bourgeois life, I’m healthy, I have food and shelter. In the other, I’m watching the worst horrors, I can barely breathe, I’m screaming into the void, and nothing seems to help. Unbearable.

President Biden was not a leftist, socialist, or Marxist, yet conservatives called him one. Vice President Harris was not a leftist, socialist, or Marxist, yet conservatives called her one. These same folks are now saying that Mamdani being a Democratic Socialist will hurt

Obama is savvy. He understands what other corporate Democrats don't, which is that since Mamdani is going to win, the best strategy is to try to co-opt him.

The next step in reprotech is apparently not just to present IVF as an option but to stigmatize natural childbearing. A lot of folks will go along with that, b/c Americans have a hard time placing limits on consumer choice. But children are gifts, not products to be optimized.

This is a Nazi-level genocidal speech. Sorry. There is no way to sugar coat it. He is bone-chillingly explaining his plans for his own Warsaw Ghetto, Madagascar Plan and Lidice Massacre. The willful destruction of civilian infrastructure to make life impossible

Notice how The Associated Press writes “Iranian-backed Houthis” but never “U.S.-backed Israel.” These language choices aren’t neutral. They shape how the audience sees the story.
