Why is billionaire George Soros a bogeyman for the hard right?
He's a Jewish billionaire philanthropist who has given away $32bn. Why does the hard right fear him?
www.bbc.com
Found this article from 2019, which explains why the right wing has so many conspiracy theories about Soros. It turns out that much of it dates back to Trump's ally, Viktor Orban, who ran an anti-semitic smear campaign, thanks to Arthur Finkelstein, who also advised Trump

Micayla Pretti, younger sister of Alex Pretti, speaks out.
"Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother."

I remember when teens in Gaza were giving the Ferguson protesters in 2014 how to avoid tear gas. Of course, tear gas is the least concern now for the average teen in Gaza, but it is a concern for us now.
Watch this brief video. Share it widely. And then say “Fuck ICE.”👇
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Hold onto any footage you take of ICE. We need to stockpile all the evidence of these crimes so they can be prosecuted later.

I am very skeptical of Mark Levine's budget analysis that there will be a $12 billion budget gap within the next two years. How did he crunch these numbers so quickly? He has only been Comptroller for 16 days. I am curious about the methods he used. Am I the only one questioning this?

This is happening on an American street right now. No fucking way should this be happening in America. If this kind of fascist, un-American bullshit doesn’t motivate you to vote against EVERY Republican on the ballot this year, nothing will. And you will deserve living under a fascist boot.👇
Minneapolis right now—
At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

It is ridiculous that all these people criticizing our new FDNY commissioner for never putting out a fire, as if previous FDNY commissioners have. Scopetta, Bloomberg's commissioner was Giuliani's ACS commissioner. Bonsigore has 30 years of experience as an EMT, which the FDNY gets more calls for.

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

More reason to dislike the Dodgers.
Well the Dodgers union busting worked again.
I don’t know if I can continue working for this team.
And I love this team. But they have treated us abysmally.
I’m so heartsick right now.
