In 2025, we’re still fighting for a free Sudan, free Congo, free Palestine, and liberation for all people across the world, including here in America.

There is no liberation without economic liberation.

Jimmy Carter 2007:

"The word 'apartheid' is exactly accurate…they are absolutely & totally separated much worse than they were in South Africa…the Israelis completely dominate the life of the Palestinian people."

"There are powerful political forces in America that prevent any objective analysis…"

It’s been 106 days since the IDF killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi. This week, her family came to DC to beg the US to do something.

They left meeting Antony Blinken “with no optimism."
And they told me the White House *still* hasn't reached out.

This was a painful & beautiful conversation:
Family of American Killed by Israeli Forces: Blinken 'Left Us With No Optimism That He's Going to Help'
Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi’s husband and sister sat down with Prem to talk about their frustrating meeting with the secretary of state and to reflect on the 26-year-old’s memory.

Biden could make the same call to Netanyahu to end a genocide that Reagan made to Begin in 1982. But he won’t. He could cancel student debt, medical debt, but instead he cancels Ukraine’s weapons debt, which just means that 4.6B check to the US arms industry is now collateral free.

I'm proud that I founded @levernews.com - one of the few news outlets that's been covering the health care crisis for years.

The corporate news outlets that ignored the crisis & that are only showing up now are telling on themselves.

Sure, better late than never...but still.

Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO

Daniel Penny is free after killing a man victim to the system. What of Luigi Mangione, who is suspected of killing a man symbolic of it?

The media’s pearl clutching over the UHC CEO’s death is annoying AF.

If people want to mock or celebrate, I’m fine with it.
Stop insisting we abide by some bs norms

Along those lines: “having a family” does not automatically make one redeemable.

Corporate profits hit an all-time high last year and continued to rise in 2024.

Just so happens that in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.

Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.
The January 6th case against Donald Trump is dismissed without prejudice by Judge Chutkan.
