The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

Yuh-Line Niou makes an announcement to run for state senate. The announcement reads:

We need bold, aggressive, truly progressive leadership right now. Leadership strong enough to fight Trump and Bring the Democratic Party back to what it’s supposed to be: standing with Immigrants, people of color, workers, and everyone getting crushed by this economy. 

Democrats can’t keep compromising in the face of government sponsored violence and creeping totalitarianism. Not anymore. This is our time to fight.

"My daughter opposes genocide and also sexual abuse. Where did I go wrong?"
"The Free Press" tweet:

Jewish parents are “shocked,” “confused,” and “upset” by their children’s radical politics. They wondered if they should have parented differently. Did their children get enough Jewish education? Were they brainwashed by their elite private schools? Where did they go wrong?

“Maybe I failed in the sense that the kids didn’t go to Israel enough,” a 63-year-old physician in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, told me. He said his daughter, a civil rights attorney, holds anti-Zionist views and refused to vote for former New York governor Andrew Cuomo due to his alleged sexual harassment. “It would’ve been better if they went more, just to see the lies they’re being told.”
