Who is leading the opposition to Prop 50??

Not citizens. Not American voters. Just an anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ MAGA millionaire.

Stop the GOP election rigging.
Vote YES on Prop 50!

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I feel like the tides are about to shift over this. Let’s hope it happens soon. Epstein isn’t going away.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 1d

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."

The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.

Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

Agree.

Also, as to the final paragraph - Jewish East Enders being arrested in the aftermath of Cable Street.

Police arresting two suited men, believed to be Jewish, in the East End of London after the 'Battle of Cable Street' between anti-fascists and the British Union of Fascists under Oswald Mosley.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
