“It must suck to be a supremely talented artist or a brilliantly insightful comedian and know you’ll never achieve mainstream success because nobody who says real shit attacking real power gets elevated in our fake plastic dystopia.” (-Caitlin Johnstone)”
Haven’t said it in a while…But there are still more of us than there are of them.” (-Hegemony Crickets)
“You can watch the decaying fossils ‘debate’ or you can cast increasingly dysfunctional systems aside and focus on building the new.” (-Anarcho-Refusenik)
“They voted for the weapons to rip kids to ribbons, but they said “ceasefire” 45, 322 massacred Palestinians later. It’s a real moral dilemma.” (-Jose Vega)
“How America works Children killed in Israel -33 Children killed in Ukraine – 600 Children killed in Gaza -15,000 The US Govt wants Hamas wiped out, Putin in prison, and Netanyahu to come speak in front of Congress.” (Black In The Empire)
“I don’t get depressed at elections because political power doesn’t come from elections. This shit been bought off. You’ve never lived in a democracy. Straighten your back and channel your anger.” (-Black Red Guard)
“I’m fed up w/ American Politics. People keep voting in corrupt candidates whether Dem or Rep. I wish people would wake up to the facts that both parties are corrupt & vote for someone outside the duopoly. We will not see equality & justice in the U.S. until we smash the duopoly.” (-Radical Jesus)
“Dear American voter, this coming election you have a very binary and simple choice to make: war and AIPAC, decadence, stasis, oppression and propaganda, or Jill Stein….So much extreme, exaggerated, and abnormal stuff happens every day now that it is impossible to keep track (or one’s sanity). Still, I nevertheless think one thing that happened today does deserve a minute of infamy and attention: it is the ruling of the US Supreme Court that yes, the government can legally ‘request’ ‘social media companies’ to ‘remove’ what the government deems as ‘misinformation’.
And I use inverted commas for all those nice words because they are used as code. This ruling effectively means that the government can legally forbid you from sharing your opinion with others if it deems your opinion wrong (sorry, ‘misleading’) at any given moment. It is not like we have other means (such as telepathy) to share our thoughts. Conservative groups took the Biden administration to court during Covid, a period that saw censorship arguably on an unparalleled level in Western history. Liberals, of course, cheered that censorship, as liberals believe they embody science and pure rational thinking (yada yada). But now this plague will come back to haunt all of us. Because tomorrow morning a new US admin may decide you are spreading misinformation by saying a certain country is committing genocide (after all, no court actually ruled that it is doing so). The next day you may be prohibited from talking about police violence, suppression of free speech, or American imperialism. Or even the fact that dangerous materials are used in such and such industry or project. (This is why I always have been and always will be against any form of censorship; why for me the only speech that can be justifiably censored is direct, specific, and concrete incitement to violence)
The idea that the government is the sole owner of the truth is totalitarianism pure and simple. And it is kind of amazing, and yet perfectly understandable how the US chooses to go down that road. Everything converges.” (-Alon Mizrahi)
“Trump isn’t a Russian asset. He’s an Israeli asset like every other politician.” (-Hairy Revolutionary)
“Exactly! The whole Russia thing was to distract us from the real threat, which is Israel! Every day now they are going toward WW3 and dragging us along.” (-Susan Redge)
“An unprecedented blowout of Jamaal Bowman’s campaign in the 16th Congressional District of New York has just occurred, in what is the most expensive primary election in the history of the United States. Close to $25 million was poured to oust a vulnerable and impotent representative for what were very mild and toothless remarks made against the horrific butchery of tens of thousands of innocent and defenseless civilians, most of whom were children and women, at the hands of the IDF. The majority of this $25 million is known to have come from the so-called Zionist Lobby and their enforcers, such as AIPAC, to put in their puppet George Latimer.
Bowman suffered a brutal defeat of 17 points. Was such a major blowout inevitable? If a major, single-issue lobby group like AIPAC decides to pour unlimited amounts of money to buy a district, can nothing be done? If that were the case, I would not currently be running right now against another AIPAC’s bone-headed “empty suits”, Richie Torres. The so-called Squad, of which Bowman is a member, has chosen to abide by the conventional standards of “going along to get along” by aligning themselves to the impotent, aging infrastructure of the Democratic Party instead of actually declaring their independence within their capacity as representatives of Congress? A metanoia, or a transformation of conscience, was needed on the parts of Bowman, AOC, Sanders, and all other members of the so-called “Squad” which came out to supposedly defend the 16th congressional district from AIPAC’s influence. Instead of endorsing the clearly dementia-ridden Biden, what if Bowman had said, “I cannot support either of these wars, whether in Gaza or Ukraine, which has brought us to the edge of nuclear war. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are the arbiters of endless war, nothing more. The United States must pull out of both those wars, now!” What if Bernie Sanders, the once alluring presidential candidate in 2016, had said, “It wasn’t the Russians that sabotaged my campaign. It was Hillary, using the pretext of alleged Russian interference, who prevented me from winning the Democratic Primary against the desires of my supporters.” A metanoia of this type did not occur, precisely because of the lack of any real understanding of what an independent campaign is. Don’t they realize that the real “Election Day” isn’t actually on the final day of their so-called congressional, presidential, or gubernatorial races? Election Day is the day that the citizenry decides to elect itself, to stand up for the free and independent right to govern one’s self. That’s what I intend to catalyze within The Bronx. That’s what every person who decides to elect themselves, whether for office or not, should do within their districts. The so-called political uniparty that has been presented to people must be entirely broken with. The ‘forever wars’ now being run in Ukraine against Russia, in Taiwan against China, and other nations that are breaking away with the ‘rules-based-order’ of color revolutions, neocolonialism, interventionist wars, and financial speculation must be opposed from within the United States itself. The poor people of the world, from within the nations of the Global South, have finally been given an alternative, in the form of a just and durable security and development architecture. Nations are now realizing that they can pursue their own economic development. That is the real reason for these wars, and why their backers are willing to pursue full-on nuclear Armageddon to protect themselves from a blowout of their bankrupt system. This July should mark the “Independent Voice in Congress” month. Those who intend to challenge themselves to this kind of leadership in statecraft must elect themselves not on their ideology, party, or previous prejudices and beliefs, but on their dreams, aspirations, integrity, and loyalty to the General Welfare. The Mind, not the money, must be the Power.” (-Jose Vega)
“Can’t help but notice everyone talking about bowmans, progressives, squads and election debates like any of it matters instead of organizing and toppling a corrupted system.” (-Californian)
“There are quite a few people that still believe they can move the Democratic Party left.
I haven’t been able to locate the quantity of peyote needed to acquire such a belief.” (-Cosmic Cowboy)
“What’s it called when 77% of Democrats, 49% of Republicans, and 57% of Independents are all in favor of a permanent ceasefire, while elected officials continue to support genocide with taxpayer dollars?” (-Thia Ballerina)
“I don’t ever want to hear Democrats scream about foreign election interference again after this AIPAC horseshit.
You don’t care about foreign money or influence. Just that it’s from your preferred tyrants instead of GOP’s.” (-Boomer Grievance Resolution Department)
“The same Kenyan forces repressing and killing people in Kenya, are the ones that have been contracted by the U.S. and deployed to Haiti.
From Haiti to Kenya people want liberation and dignified lives. U.S. imperialism and colonialism are the biggest threat to humanity.” (-Claudia De La Cruz)
“President Ruto from Kenya came to the U.S., met Biden, got his orders, announced he was sending police to Haiti and got his pat on the head. Went back home and is trying to pass a bill raising taxes given to him by the IMF and World Bank
Now his people are in the streets.” (-Black In The Empire)
“The Democratic Party is a right-wing pro-war DEAD END for those who care about equality and justice. We have decades of evidence showing it cannot be changed.” (Rania Khalek)
“Everyone supporting Biden is supporting genocide. Deny reality all you want. He’s supplying Israel with weapons after the UN said they were exterminating the people in Gaza. He’s supplying them with weapons with the ICC about to issue Netanyahu an arrest warrant. No excuses left.” (-Bruce P. Knight)
“There is a lot of talk of “Project 2025”, but AIPAC’s $20M investment in a racist candidate proves our democracy is already failing, and the dems are doing absolutely nothing to stop it.” (-Jason Rosenberg)
“Jamaal Bowman declined to #ForceTheVote on Medicare because he preferred to send $100 billion to Ukraine, crush a union rail strike, and pull a fire alarm to clear a federal building before losing his seat in the most humiliating way possible to an AIPAC-funded centrist loser” (-Not Voting For Genocide Joe)
“Attempting to “take over the Democratic Party” when AIPAC exists was the dumbest idea of all time.” (-Revolutionary Blackout Network)
“The Democratic Party is where any progressive movement, of any kind, goes to die! This has been proven historically, but if you had any doubt: Republican pro Israel billionaires and AIPAC spending over 15 million dollars on a Democratic primary for a congressional seat? This is the most expensive Congressional race in history!
This is just another example of the dollar democracy that exists. Democracy in the U.S. is bought and sold to protect capitalism and U.S. empire at all cost.” (-Claudia De La Cruz)
“Jamaal Bowman supported the nazis in Ukraine and escalating war with Russia meanwhile the establishment still got rid of his ass What did supporting the proxy war with Russia accomplish for you Bowman?
Bowman was a sellout. The only thing he accomplished was shifting what it means to be a socialist to the right. Good riddance.” (-Revolutionary Blackout Network)

“Israel is gearing up for a broader war with Hezbollah and Iran and Biden just gave them the green light. Supporting Biden at this point is giving clear consent to genocide in Gaza and the West Bank and full out regional war in the Middle East. I don’t know how his supporters sleep at night.” (-Prof Zenkus)
“People are trying to understand what Netanyahu meant when he said ‘partial deal’. What it means is nothing. It has no meaning. Just like anything Netanyahu ever said to anyone. Netayanu’s only intention ever was a holocaust of Arabs throughout the Middle East funded and protected by the US. He never means anything else and never works for any other goal. Tactically, getting people to wonder what he means affords him time to promote the mass murder of Arabs. When the wonder fades, he’ll come up with another meaningless piece of copywriting, which will buy him another week or two (or month, or year) of puzzlement at the service of murder. And so on, and on, and on. As Netanyahu’s act is clear to all but the most mentally challenged, the charade the international media plays, pretending we don’t know what Netanyahu really means (when we definitely do) – this is their way of helping the mass murder of Palestinians and Arabs but not saying it explicitly. This is how they create a very lame and pathetic ‘plausible deniability’. – All Netanyahu does is plot and scheme to kill and humiliate Arabs. All the US US does is help him. That’s all. Let’s please not pretend there’s another game in town. There isn’t.” (-Alon Mizrahi)
“This is the second CIA-backed coup plot against the Bolivian state in under 5 years.
Bolivia has 21 million tons of lithium reserves—the largest on the planet. Bolivia also cut off all relations with Israel in condemnation of the genocide in Gaza. Coincidence? I think not.” (-Sarah)
“The Bowman primary should show us, once and for all, that our battles are not won at the ballot box. We will not achieve systemic change through the systems which they control. The fascists have all the money and control the levers of power. The electoral fight isn’t a fair fight. We are wasting precious resources on this losing battle.” (-kinda big, very nasty)
“It is total, ongoing scandal that Jill Stein isn’t allowed to participate in the debate between the presidential candidates. Establishment media protects its own. The Green Party currently has ballot access in twenty states and keeps gaining more.” (-Amos Keppler)
“OMG! AIPAC is purchasing politicians and not just MIC, J Street, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Black Rock!” (-Hegemony Crickets)
“It’s cartoonish to say that Republicans scare you after watching Joe Biden sponsor a genocide in real-time and provoke World War III at every opportunity, during one of the most perilous periods of our lifetimes. I’ve got news for you: they are ALL the most dangerous politicians.” (-Thia Ballerina)
