I am Jewish
The West is doing to the Muslims in the 2020s what it did to the Jews in the 1920s (& for 2000 years)
It didn’t start with the gas chambers.
It started with mass media propaganda, fear mongering, false flag events, scapegoating & hate
It ended with Zyklon B

Today the MTA fare went up to $2.90.
This is the end result of several months ago, during state budget negotiations, when the Governor aggressively fought against raising new taxes on the rich.
You will now pay more to live in NY so that billionaires don't have to.

I lived in LA for 13 years and never heard the slightest whisper of the possibility of a hurricane.
Now this massive storm is rising from the Pacific waters warmed by global boiling and climate chaos.

Renowned Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer just signed the academics' letter accusing Israel of "apartheid." He is honorary chair of the Intl Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, whose purpose is to use claims of antisemitism to prevent such accusations. Overton window is shifting fast

Gov. Abbott is destroying the Rio Grande for a fearmongering photo-op.
Miles of deadly razor-wire have been deployed to ensnare & impale border crossers. Bobcats, bear, mule deer & other wildlife will also be cut off from their main source of water.

House Dems are under fire for an AIPAC-affiliated trip to Israel, despite the judicial overhaul. @JeremyBenAmi says this is larger than AIPAC. "It's about the entirety of our political system being warped & our policies being warped by the influence of money in our politics."

An increasing number of Israelis and American Jews are starting to call Israel an apartheid state, and yet, some top Democrats are running into the arms of Benjamin Netanyahu. @MehdiRHasan says these Democrats will be remembered as being on the wrong side of history.

As temperatures at the Texas border reach 110 degrees this month, someone has been removing the barrels of water set in the desert to save migrants' lives. apnews.com/article/texas-hea…

It is now the official position of the State of Texas that it is being "invaded" and therefore has the right to use deadly force, like the saw-bladed river wall.
The talking points of the white supremacist El Paso Walmart mass murderer 4 years ago are now official state policy.

It is angering, and embarrassing, that since Michael Brown's murder 9 years ago today in Ferguson, police killings have increased. That all of the consent decrees and diversity and task forces and books and careers and tears that have made rounds, police kill more people now

If prison and police actually prevented crime or produced public safety, the US would be the safest country in the world. The reality is that prison is crimonogenic & policing is ineffective, brutal & racist. Anyone arguing for prison & police is ignoring 50yrs of policy failure.

You dont support unions even existing if u dont support striking.
The only reason there is a union, the only reason a union has the leverage to negotiate any contract in the 1st place: the threat of a strike.
He should b honest and say "fuck everybody in the unions, I got mine"

Two farmworkers died in two weeks from heat exposure. Brutal labor & deadly climate change on top of rampant wage theft and labor agreements that are sometimes akin to slavery. But NPR is asking the important questions, like why won't the children of farmworkers pick our produce?

Families trusted Bronx lawyer Kofi Amankwaa to help them stay in the country legally and paid him thousands. Now they're reckoning with the fallout of fraudulent documents submitted on their behalf bit.ly/476C9Fu

I’m disappointed, but not surprised, that my amendment to cut military spending by 10% received only 11 votes.
When @MsKellyMHayes speaks, I listen.
