Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

When Texas did their mid decade redistricting they shifted voters around on the assumption Hispanics would vote at 2024 percentages. Not accounting for ICE anger I think will cost more seats than they stole.

Jared’s Gulf sugar daddy came calling in 2016. What followed reads like a spy thriller. But Jared’s not the only one feeding at the presidential trough. In The Red Letter: what the Trump family is selling—and who’s buying.

Elon Musk gave $158 million to the GOP’s Senate super PAC in a last-ditch effort to head off Democratic momentum. That’s 58% of everything it raised last quarter.

trump needs impeaching now. He has killed people on boats, Venezuelans, starving Cubans, and now Ukrainians are directly dying from his actions. Americans need to walk out, shut down the economy until the oligarchs who run the country remove him. www.rawstory.com/trump-ukrain...

In case you might miss it - New Delhi, India’s capital, has been locked down, journalists, students, lawyers, activists are being detained, people are being house arrested, detained from INSIDE an airplane, AI cameras are tracking protestors; all because SOMEONE is scared of accountability.

These people are the family behind ULine, the packaging company. They are one of the largest sponsors of antidemocratic actions and are huge dark money donors. They are funding a proposition now in CA that is basically the SAVE act at state level (prop39). No on 39 and BOYCOTT ALL ULINE PRODUCTS!

A girl at the Kyiv train station couldn’t stop shaking from the stress caused by another Russian missile attack. “Girl next to me can’t stop shaking. For god’s sake, give this people air defense. Unbelievable cruelty,” wrote reporter Ani Chkhikvadze. 🇺🇦 Stand With Ukraine 💙💛💔 Thread 2/5🧵
