Iran hardliners rally behind new leader, unsettling global markets Iran's hardliners staged a show of force on Monday, taking to the streets to proclaim their loyalty to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, whose rise appeared to dash hopes of ​a swift end to war in ...

Markets shocked that radical hardliners in Iran rise to meet the radical hardliners that have launched an unprovoked attack on their nation, bombed one of their elementary schools, blackened their skies, and committed war crimes at sea.

The world is growing tired of our madness.

Bigots protest Mamdani outside his residence for being Muslim (yes, really).

Allegedly someone planned an attack on these protestors in front of Mamdani’s residence β€” which only adds to the danger Mamdani faces β€” and yet somehow this is Mamdani’s fault. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others.

Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.

Iran war's targets widen into civilian infrastructure as Bahrain says water plant hit The Iran war’s targets are widening into civilian infrastructure as Bahrain accuses Iran of striking a desalination plant.

When the U.S. hit an Iranian desalination plant, we legitimized such war crimes.

With this horrific act, Iran is saying they can go tit for tac in this conflict.

I fear what will happen as we continue to hit civilian targets and how Iran responds.

Keep supporting US imperialism and wondering why your brand of liberalism gathers fewer and fewer followers.

Third parties voters made up a smaller vote total than the difference between Trump and Harris.

More importantly the idea a voter must support anyone who is ok with genocide is never gonna win you anything.

My age group didn’t vote for Trump. I didn’t vote for Trump.

I was not in charge of Harris’s campaign strategy. Nor did Mr. Biden ask me if he should attempt to run for reelection.

Yes, how dare people facing economic crisis after crisis with no social welfare safety ask for help that come as fast as an eviction notice.

We are the problem not the system our parent’s generation built.

He never claimed to be diagnosed with prostate cancer at the time he was forced out of the race.

I enjoy you ignoring the entire national panic of his debate performance and how his fundraising had dried up by mid July.

Bot?

Obama won because he received two thirds of the youth vote, which at the time were millennials the largest most diverse generation alive. (We wanted jobs and healthcare.)

Biden won because Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach during a pandemic. Anyone would have beat Trump in 2020.

All accounts and statements from party staff, campaign staff, elected officials, donors, and even George Clooney directly dispute your claims.

Joe Biden did her dirty and he did the nation dirty.

Hilary is many things but she won with over 3 million votes. Dems also won more votes for house and senate that cycle.

If we hold the U.S. to the same standards we are demanding of Venezuela and other nations, we would have demanded she be installed and her party given control of Congress.

I didn’t cause Harris to lose the election. A combination of Biden being a selfish old man and Harris deciding to listen to her brother in law and Uber while abandoning anything that sounded like a progressive campaign cost her the election.

But to be fair, Biden deserves most of the blame.

I know, but I’ve been a don’t nominate or elect Biden guy since 2019, so I’m already on the do not hire list 🀣

I get mix ups on here but β€œBut hey, you liked that option better” is a pretty clear statement.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Fair, but the real racism and misogyny is how Joe Biden decided to launch a reelection campaign everyone knew he couldn’t win and deprive the woman of color he picked as VP the ability to run a full campaign.

Harris has problems, but Trump and Biden are the old men who created this mess.

Oh I would need more info but I remember accounts possibly connected to the party claiming Palestinians were racist and homophobic and that sowed division online?

When one realizes Black movements in the U.S. have long sympathized with Palestinians, you understand why elites would try to start that

But is that a large group? Most of the pro Palestine people upset with Kamala helped pen the term Genocide Joe. They have been pushing back against a lot of Democratic leaders. And one reason they push the Dems is the idea Dems can change while we know the GOP will not.

I know right? It’s been fun dealing with people claiming I support Trump and I’m like almost everything I’ve done from 2015 up till now is about stopping him. But sure I’m not anti Trump enough.

The difference is if I advocate to end the genocide in the Congo, I am not blacklisted by the Democratic Party or by CEOs at most major companies.

Police are not smashing skulls for saying Free Sudan.

Did I? My ballot marked off Kamala last election. But I’m sure I’m the problem for not voting hard enough right?

Yes Hitler praised our segregation while Lenin condemned our apartheid system.

Also yes Trump might have had a diverse coalition. That doesn’t mean he was right or good.

When both options advocate harm, you will see some boycott the election. That’s common around the world.

I know but the statement was in regards to would Jackson be proud, & I can’t speak for him but he seemed concerned for the working class. Like an entire rainbow coalition of working people even.

I’m not saying he wouldn’t love a Black women president just wouldn’t he want that president to do more?

Fact check:

During the 2024 campaign, Harris was asked by a man in tears worried about what would happen to his immigrant mother. Harris responded she would increase the number of ICE agents.

But also, that less evil argument didn’t work in 2024. We must be more than not Nazis.

So over a roughly 60 day period, the U.S. has attacked two nations that provide China with oil.

Am I the only one starting to wonder when and how China is going to respond?

I know they publicly complain, but they don’t seem like the sit there and take it types.

What am I missing?

By targeting your opponent’s officials you legitimize the targeting of your own officials and yourself.

By removing the seasoned older leadership, you allow for younger, angrier, harder to predict while more willing to take risks leaders to emerge.

Trump is inviting chaos that cannot be undone.

And honestly I don’t think anyone has really looked into the sexism and racism of how she was not given a proper election cycle.
