propaganda works. since Ronald Reagan the media has been pushing this idea that the only ppl "on welfare" are black ppl who drive brand new Cadillac's to the grocery store and eat lobster and steak every night. they are the same ppl who think that only black ppl commit crime.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Fascist regimes exercise economic control over big companies. The regimes themselves—there’s no worker participation, as fascists don’t like organized labor or democracy. There’s no need to try to figure out some new theory of what this is. This has been done before, and it is fascism.

We'll see if this causes as much agita among the elite classes as the proposal for a few state-run grocery stores in poor parts of NYC.

There is a very simple reason New York Democrats shouldn't vote for Andrew Cuomo: he is actually a Republican.
When given a chance to help Republicans maintain control of his state, he took it. He actively works to keep Democrats from achieving their goals and takes money from Trump supporters.

It's #WhyVoteWednesday. So why vote in the World Zionist Congress elections, you might ask? We've got 5 billion reasons - as in $5 billion in allocations that'll be directly impacted by the results, with huge implications both for Israeli society and global Jewish life. www.hatikvahslate.net/about-3

We are in the midst of a political civil war and it’s time for Dems to act like it.
We must be united in our opposition to what the GOP has become: a fascist party.
We also must spell out what we’d do with power, and not just big government spending bills.
We need a political revolution.

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

Jews need to call out antisemitism on the left and the right (including in higher ed). But we shouldn't let corrupt, anti-democratic pols instrumentalize antisemitism (i.e., use legitimate Jewish fear & pain to do their nefarious work). Just saying.
