I'm glad to refresh—10 years later—this important & timely writing challenge based on @rosaclemente's powerful yet unconvincing claim in 2008 that @GreenPartyUS wasn't just an alternative, but an imperative for our times.
Tag folks you want to answer it!

If you care about LIFE itself, join your local Green Party and build the future.
The Board of Deputies have taken the Jewish faith hostage in order to protect their rabid anti Palestinian racism, we will not submit to their smears, intimidation & gaslighting. Read, reject this & if you care about the environment AND reject all forms of racism & imperialism, join us in the Green Party!

I felt every word of this. Lubna speaks for how we are all feeling.
Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

We're in the stage of the campaign cycle where stuff like this is pushed as "concessions to the left!" so that leftists think they've 'won' something, & elected progressives aren't pressured to use their very real leverage in a narrowly won House to hold up congress until the party's agenda aligns with the interests of the public.
BREAKING: Huge announcement from @BernieSanders:
"If the Democrats regain control of the Senate, I'm going to become chairman of the Health Education Labor Committee."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not breaking news or a huge announcement. Bernie Sanders has been the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions since January 3, 2025. Since that date, should Democrats retake the majority, he’d become chair of that committee.

SNP MP and Greens MSP detained by Israel while trying to enter the West Bank
Never forget that the Nobel Peace Prize means absolutely jack shit.
Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, has returned home after almost a year in exile.
The Nobel peace prize winner has not been seen in the country since deposed president Nicolas Maduro was captured by the US military in January and held in New York on charges including Narco-terrorism.
Machado was barred from running for president against Maduro in 2024 and went into hiding before secretly leaving the country in November 2025.
Supporters believe Machado's return will put more pressure on the country's interim government, which is backed by the Trump administration, to hold democratic elections.

It is beyond ridiculous that this man is still a life peer and retains the Labour whip.

For some background, the Massachusetts Senate candidate Joe Tache, a socialist who was polling at 9%, met all the criteria to join the first televised debate. But the Democratic incumbent Ed Markey dropped out and the debate was canceled.
To give voters a chance to hear the full spectrum of views on the ballot, we’re hosting our first our first-ever Senate candidate forum tomorrow night, featuring both Tache and Republican Senate candidate John Deaton.
Ed Markey has been invited, but has not responded.
🔴LIVE | TUES 10/27 | 7PM ET
Massachusetts voters barely get to hear from the people running for Ed Markey’s Senate seat.
We’re fixing that.
Socialist Joe Tache and Republican John Deaton on Iran, ICE, Medicare for All, and more.

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine.
The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

🇬🇧 "We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified," Lubna Speitan, author of the UK Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" motion said on Monday. The motion passed 1,022 to 813 this month. The British-Palestinian artist, who says 56 of her relatives have been killed in Gaza, has received death and rape threats since the vote. ⬇️

We have seen every relevant party in the settler colony be openly against the very existence of a Palestinian state and the BBC expect us to buy that these elections will do anything at all for Palestinians.
This isn’t just Netanyahu or Ben-Gvir
Zionism is Racism.
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”.
What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure.
In what world is that left wing?

Zohran used to speak to the dangerous relationship between Zionism and America's authoritarian policing, but now it's "woke 1 is crazy" and a billionaire Zionist-led NYPD partnering with Israeli surveillance firms.

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza has hit 10,000 signatures.
Now, let’s get it to 100,000 to force a debate.
The public deserves to know the full scale of Britain’s complicity in genocide.

Going into voicemail hell with Kaiser Permanente to iron out a problem with my mom's medications and being constantly jerked around, unable to get a human being on the line and then they give you a recording telling you what to do if you're having a mental health emergency is rich. Our "health care" system induces such emergencies.
