IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

'Centrist' socialism isn't a thing: if you call yourself a 'socialist' & a 'centrist,' you're just a confused Tory.

By definition, 'centrism' ignores the poorest & the richest & perpetuates the status quo. Socialism encompasses all & demands societal revolution.

One of these two has put soldiers on the streets of his own cities.

One of them kidnaps and detains his own citizens to deport them.

One of them sponsored a Genocide.

One of them is a suspected peadophile.

Don't be so sure you know which one is the bad guy.

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

Spain has made it a serious crime with up to Life imprisonment if anyone sends arms to Israel.

The rest of the world need to do the same.

No weapons for War Criminals.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

Hey USA looks like Trump is trying to make Antifa your Hamas. Everyone he doesn't like will be Antifa just like everyone Netanyahu hates is Hamas. The more you protest the more Antifa/Hamas you will be. You must impeach him now before it's too late.

The Left need to be attacking Privatisation in the same way that the Right attacked Nationalised industries.

Take back control from the thieves, force them out of business.

There should be no profit in Energy, Water, Housing, Healthcare or Public Transport.

Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) just tried to be recognized on the House floor to move that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn-in.
McGovern was not recognized, he said, because Speaker Johnson don't want her vote to open the Pandora's box of the full, un-redacted Epstein files being published.
