The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Kshama Sawant

The Democrats and Republicans both answer to the billionaires, that’s why #working #people keep getting screwed, she says. Even so-called #progressives in #Congress, she notes, have completely failed to fight against the #establishment, and offer no #solutions. #Sawant in her decade as a member of the #Seattle-city-council has an impressive track record. She helped win a $ #15-minimum-wage for #Seattle #workers, pushed the council to #tax #Amazon, and championed #renter #protection as the #Chair-of-the-Renters-and-Sustainability-Committee. She joined the #Socialist-Alternative-party in 2006.

The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Kshama Sawant

Jewish Voice for Peace Action : 🚨 Action alert🚨 Israeli forces stormed the historic Old City of #Nablus this morning and killed 10 Palestinians, including a teenager and an elderly man, and reduced a building to rubble.

Call Congress NOW: enough. End US complicity in Israel's violence

The U.S. must withdraw support from Israel now

Tell Congress: The U.S. must end its complicity in Israeli state violence against Palestinians.

"The #Taliban forbid women to go out alone or attend universities, #Israel confirms it is a racist, apartheid state, Rohingya #refugees despair, executions continue in #Iran, #Russia is reducing #Ukraine to ashes, the #Myanmar military promote brutality, fascist-like Republicans shackle the US #Congress, #asylum seekers are punished by UK and Australian governments, and #Julian #Assange still languishes in a top security prison.

Despite all this, media time has been diverted to something allegedly more worthy of public interest: the contents of the Duke of Sussex, alias Harry Windsor’s ‘Spare’, which, on the first day of sales, 400,000 people are reported to have bought.

‘Bought’ is the operative word. It can mean you’ve been fooled into taking something seriously instead of discarding it at first sight."

Prince Harry’s outrage, spare a thought - Pearls and Irritations

With despair unfolding in the world, buying Prince Harry’s Spare means being fooled into taking something seriously instead of discarding it.

OK, McCarthy has finally been elected as speaker of Congress and a lot of media reported about it and lots of things happening in the (lengthy) process, as did Politico. But the reason I linked this specific article is this one paragraph:

Throughout the whole evening, Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) was reading the “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” while waiting on votes.

And again Katie Porter wins the day...

Two lawmakers nearly come to blows — and other crazy moments from McCarthy’s final speaker votes

Friday night on the House floor was a spectacle to behold.
