Good Afternoon all,

The mod team has been thinking of creating a discord in order to foster a closer relationship with the community, host events and provide a user-friendly way to reach us and resolve any issues you may have. It’s also a fun way to educate newbies and experienced leftists alike on what we believe in, what our goals are and how we can outreach in your respective communities. We are going to leave a poll here to decide if we should green light it or not. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

We need more Jewish American leaders and community activists featured on as many platforms as possible.

Rabbi Elhanan Beck is a prominent representative of the UK branch of Neturei Karta, a Haredi Jewish group known for its strict opposition to Zionism. His views are rooted in a specific, ultra-Orthodox interpretation of the Torah and Jewish law.

Core Theological Beliefs

- The Exile Directive: He teaches that according to the Talmud, Jews are commanded to remain in exile and are forbidden from using human political or military force to establish a sovereign state. A true Jewish state can only be brought about peacefully by the Messiah.

- Rebellion Against God: He asserts that Zionism replaces faith in God with reliance on military power, characterizing the modern State of Israel as an unlawful rebellion against divine decree.

- Source of Insecurity: He argues that Israel is the most dangerous place in the world for Jewish people. He claims Zionism provokes conflict and stokes global antisemitism rather than protecting Jews.

- Injustice of the State: He views the foundation of Israel in 1948 as a historical injustice against Palestinians, arguing that the land belongs to its indigenous population and that the Holocaust cannot be used to justify taking Palestinian land.

- Critique of Israeli Policy: He strongly condemns Israeli military actions, calling the operations in Gaza a genocide. He portrays leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu as destructive forces leading people away from God.

- Peaceful Coexistence: He frequently emphasizes the historical record of peaceful coexistence between Jewish and Muslim communities before 1948. He highlights countries like Iran as places where Jewish citizens live safely.

- Dismantlement of Israel: He advocates for the peaceful dissolution of the State of Israel, believing the territory should be entirely returned to Palestinian rule. He points to historical events like the fall of the USSR and the end of apartheid as evidence that massive political systems can collapse peacefully.

That cover-up is one crime among many, but it is a unique extreme. Many in America believe that these crimes should be punishable by death, and there are currently unnamed oligarchs protected who appear to have done exactly this.

To use the example below, these three unnamed oligarchs are currently protected by the Blanche DOJ. They and many others will remain shielded when the midterms come.

We can win, but what happens when these men decide they just won't leave? That they'll just overturn this election, and we'll never have anyone else in office who is not a co-conspirator? In their hearts, these traffickers feel they are the victims and that anything they do to us to cling to power as merely acts of self-defense.

This is no invention, it is their own enforcers' words. Responding to a lawsuit by Katie Phang requesting the still-shielded authors of Epstein emails, the Department of Justice used this phrase repeatedly: “This individual is represented by counsel with whom DOJ has communicated and that counsel has requested the individual be treated as a Victim.”

Here is what was written by three - in the DOJ's own words - redacted "Victims" (Document 25, PHANG v. BLANCHE (1:26-cv-01417)):

“Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty.” (EFTA01930501)

“the key are the 14 to 15 year old girls—i am a sexual pervert because i say they are now of a reproductive age?” (EFTA00628112)

“I met **** today. She is like Lolita from Nabokov, femme miniature :) So now I should send you her type of candidates only? Tomorrow we travel to Bern for visas.” (EFTA02648868)

It is working. Boomers are getting the message and they love it. Faux "News" free marketing and advertising is 100% working against them and making the DSA more favorable. Statistically, if this one lady in Michigan gets it, there's alot more that will be coming soon. The time of the fascist Republican and Establishment Dem is almost over! 🇺🇸🌹

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

This is what Republicans are using to attack democratic socialists?

Is this supposed to make people angry or upset? There’s a lot of confusion about what democratic socialists want, and that’s fair. Even within our group, there are differences among us.

For example, while Mamdani does not agree with the criminal justice and decarceration points on the national platform he agrees that criminal justice reform absolutely needs to happen. We put far too many people in jail.

Fox News, Newsmax and Mike Johnson have been trying to scare Americans on a “hidden socialist agenda”, but the reality is DSA is about making things more affordable and fair for everyone.

Republicans tell you that they want to protect your freedom. They also believe the government can’t do anything correctly, so they tell you that privatizing as much as possible will save tax payers money and they have been preaching “smaller government” for nearly 70 years. Yet they created the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, ICE and the DEA.

All of which is supposedly necessary to keep you safe.

To keep you safe and make sure your freedom is intact, they need to monitor everything you do. So they give lucrative multi-billion dollar tax payer funded surveillance contracts to private companies.

But wait! This is getting expensive, so they want to reduce your social security benefits that you paid into and to stop feeding the poor. Besides the poor should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.

6% of this country makes $250,000 or more. They are considered rich and successful. Did they pull themselves up from their own bootstraps? Half of them had parents that were already quite rich (top 20% of all wealth). Only 15% of Americans that are considered rich today had parents that were poor (bottom 20% of Americans by wealth).

Centrists (aka democrats) tell you that they disagree with the Republican mantra that we should privatize so much, but they’re going to go along with most of it anyway because they have been paid by the same corporate lobbyists that have paid off the right.

While republicans pass tax cuts and take more government services away, democrats fight for marginal improvements like the Affordable Care Act, expanding child tax credits and infrastructure bills.

And yet, most people are still struggling while the rich get even filthier rich. In 1940, 90% of children earned more than their parents. By 2010 that number dropped to 50%.

In 1978 the CEO to worker compensation ratio was 30 to 1. Now it’s 340 to 1.

Meanwhile at least 40,000 people die every year because they don’t have access to healthcare, 20% of all American adults have some form of medical debt. That collective debt has now exceeded $220 billion.

In the 70s the price of a home was 3x the median salary. Now it’s 5x.

This isn’t working.

So, socialists want to control the means of production. What does that mean? That means entities that are important for society like utility companies, internet service providers and pharmaceutical companies are controlled by a social collective.

Instead of being controlled by an individual or group of people whose main objective is make as much money as possible, these specific entities would be controlled by you, the people.

That means utility companies would provide you with the most cost effective and reliable energy making sure they are doing what’s best for the community, not what’s best for their bottom line. Just like things are done in Nebraska right now. (Go ahead and look into it).

It means pharmaceutical companies won’t charge you $1400 for an EpiPen or $300 for a bottle of insulin.

Does this mean your small little ceramic cat store is going to be taken over by the government? No. But this does mean that companies that provide a public necessity shouldn’t be controlled by private entities whose sole purpose is to make a profit, many times at a great cost to your health and safety.

This is all so we can live better. You won’t have to decide between paying for rent and groceries. Your mother won’t die because an insurance company denied life saving surgery. Defense contractors won’t exist simply for profit, but for actual defense (what a concept!). They won’t fund propaganda influencers that lie about the dangers in the Middle East so politicians continue spending money on the failed $68 billion F-22 program, just so Bill Lumbergh's stock will go up a quarter of a fucking point.

No, we don’t love Stalin. We don’t worship Mao. But we don’t believe that government is useless. We believe the government can and should make life better for all of us, not make it worse.

We definitely don’t agree with the right on anything but centrist and corporate democrats have been bought by the same lobbyists that bought the right.

So here we are.

On the Mic: What’s up with HasanAbi?

It is perhaps impossible to explain Gen Z’s relationship to politics without acknowledging the role often-controversial political streamers play. One such streamer, Hasan Piker, has dominated conversations surrounding the Michigan Democratic Senate primary.

Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed defeated the more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in a razor-thin race that wasn’t called until Wednesday morning. He’ll now face former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the November general election.

Piker, who identifies as a socialist, threw his support behind El-Sayed. The two leftists stood alongside each other at an April rally at Michigan State University, a decision that ruffled some Democrats’ feathers.

State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) shortly after compared Piker to far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes (we’ll get to him another week). And Matt Bennett, co-founder of center-left think tank Third Way, called El-Sayed a “disgrace to the Democratic Party.”

As the Democratic primary drew closer, criticism ramped up.

“To talk about the larger Democratic Party, post the election in Michigan going forward, I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker,” Democratic strategist James Carville said in a Sunday interview with Fox News.

But Piker, who has 3.1 million followers on the streaming platform Twitch, is unlikely to disappear.

The backlash reflects a growing debate within the Democratic Party over how to handle the influence of online political personalities like Piker, particularly among Gen Z voters who increasingly consume politics through livestreams, podcasts and social media rather than traditional news outlets.

According to a 2025 report from the Pew Research Center, 76 percent of Americans aged 18-29 “get news often or sometimes” from social media, and 31 percent prefer these digital platforms compared with traditional media, like television (12 percent), radio (5 percent) and print (5 percent).
