I'm in awe of your mental stamina that you can still put this together.

Most Zionists are Christian Zionists, and we should call them what they actually are: antisemites.

Zionism *is* antisemitism.

EDIT: why do Zionists hate Zohran Mamdani? Zionists hate Zohran Mamdani *precisely because* he is so “Jew-ish”. Because Zionism is antisemitism.

Hey, I thought the Democrats were all about “vote blue no matter who!” 😂

Like all things in life, anything built on a lie inevitably crumbles. Especially true with capitalism - a system built on the idea of infinite growth on a finite planet. Geez, what could possibly go wrong with that?!!

We're watching the lid blow off and the usual propaganda narratives stop sticking. I’m watching them, wide-eyed, as they regurgitate the same tired tropes and deceptions—and honestly, I feel a little guilty for laughing sometimes. Because it really is that comical. I remember watching that movie Idiocracy thinking we'd never get to this point. A representative calling Mamdani “little Mohammad”? 😳 My brother's name is Muhamed - except my family are white Muslims from the Balkans & we aren't immediate targets. So I'm watching all this unfold from the sidelines, mostly horrified but sometimes I can't help but joke, & yet wondering how much worse it'll get & if I'll eventually become a target of an Islamophobic attack.

I believe material reality—and dialectical materialism—is primary. All the other -isms serve to maintain capital concentrated in the hands of the few. So white supremacy slithers like a snake: it may change victims & shift it's tactics, but the function remains the same. The contradictions are now too glaring to ignore. And people are angry & fed up with worsening material conditions & the increasingly gaudy displays of wealth. And so a mayoral candidate offering promises that are already a reality in other countries is labeled as naive and unrealistic here by his opponents. Why? It's just free buses.

Despite my sadness, burnout and frustrations, this is still the first time in my life that I have some hope for a paradigm shift, but it still pains me to say this while the atrocities in Gaza continue with no end in sight. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The question we should be asking people like Kirsten Gillibrand is this:

Do you support the Jewish diaspora’s right to exist?

Because, well, most Zionists quite plainly do not.
