TikTokers Rock for Palestine TikTokers in the United States favor Palestine vs. Israel posts 17-to-1 on TikTok, according to NorthEastern University research conducted from 2023-2025 . TikTok posts of orphaned Gaza amputees wandering amid apartments-turned-to rubble make Israel a tough sell to Gen-Z and younger millennials scrolling the app to witness Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine in between ads for panda drums and shimmering lipsticks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, facing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for Gaza’s mass starvation, openly acknowledges the importance of controlling the narrative on social media. “Weapons change over time... the most important ones are on social media, “ Netanyahu said during a September, 2025, huddle with US social media influencers who might be willing to promote Israel’s image for $7,000 a post.  During the meeting, Netanyahu identified TikTok as the number one influencer of global public opinion of Israel.  In June, 2025, the Pew Research Center, noting a dramatic shift in public opinion,  found that 60% of those surveyed in 24 countries did not favor Israel over Palestine; in the US, Israel’s biggest weapons supplier, 53% expressed a “somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of Israel,” with 69% of Democrats and 27% of Republicans turning thumbs down on Israel. In what should be a wake up call to Israel shills in the White House and Congress, Pew spotlights younger Republicans under 50, who are now about as “likely to have a negative view of Israel as a positive one.” 

Currently under our current tax code, the individual citizen has no say in how are federal taxes are spent and collectively as a nation we are under the duress of those in Public office, many of whom are in the pockets of big corporations, lobby groups, PACs and SuperPACs, along with a whole litany of special interest groups with big pockets that are directing how are federal tax dollars are spent.  This all too often happens at the detriment of individual citizens of this country all the while funding programs that increase our national debt, funnel funding into Fascist regimes and forever wars, engage in genocide only to appease the very oligarchs that donate funding into the very same political campaigns for re-election. By allowing the individual citizen to decide how those Federal Tax dollars are spent into sectors that actually affect the lives of people in this country, we are democratizing the Federal Tax system, and taking away the spending power from the hands of Oligarchs and Autocrats and placing it back in the hands of the individual citizen who is paying those hard earned tax dollars. We have to pay those taxes. Let's decide which sector we would like those taxes spent on. Let's empower the individual, instead of crooks in Washington.

Because it’s bigger than pets. If agencies can deny help to someone who is within the law, they can deny anyone. Because families shouldn’t be torn apart. Dogs are family — many people would rather risk homelessness than give them up. Because criminalizing poverty and compassion is wrong. The state should provide solutions, not punish people for seeking them. Because community matters. Pet-inclusive policies keep people, pets, and neighborhoods safer and stronger. By supporting this campaign, you’re standing up for fairness, compassion, and the right of families to stay whole in times of crisis. If the dogs deserve help, then so do the people who fight to protect them.

Israel's genocidal onslaught against the people of Gaza since October 2023, funded in large part by the United States with the support of Congressman Huffman, will be central to Huffman’s legacy. The systematic and very deliberate destruction of more than 80% of the homes of the Palestinians who lived, worked, played and raised families in their homeland, is the horror story of the 21st century. Over 18,000 children killed, many by U.S.-supplied weaponry. Hospitals and schools were targeted by the Israeli military.  Now is the time for Huffman to reject, unequivocally, in word and deed, Trump's plan to support the resumption of bombing and the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank. Huffman must instead support massive reparations to the Palestinian people so they can rebuild their homes and lives in their homeland. 

Californians want to get out from under a country run by corrupt Fascist billionaires.

The control of money and debt by the FED is destructive, unfair, and unaccountable. We need a campaign in every county of the United States to use only locally owned banks.

Working folks should not have to work two jobs to make a basic subsistence living. We cannot make our economy work for all when the rich are not being taxed.  It is time the rich pay their share of taxes.

This is about the future of the world and how American taxpayer money is being used against the wishes and needs of the people who pay taxes.

This incident reflects a deeply troubling trend of intolerance and hate within our society, particularly against marginalized communities. It is critical that the Chicago Police Department take swift and decisive action to ensure that justice is served and that the rights of all individuals, regardless of their religious or ethnic background, are protected. Failure to address this incident adequately could set a dangerous precedent, where hate-fueled violence and discrimination are allowed to persist unchecked. It is imperative that the Chicago Police Department upholds the values of justice, equality, and the rule of law by taking the necessary steps to investigate and prosecute those responsible for this heinous act.  Violence against women and political violence have no place in civilized society.

Right now the US is at least participating in and in some cases promoting and aggravating conflict that involve three nuclear powers, Russia, China, and Israel. Any one of these could get out of hand, escalate and result in a nuclear exchange.  We want Mayor Freddie O'Connell to join the hundreds of other mayors in the US and across the world and say no to nuclear war and yes to peace.

It is critical that President Biden be held to account for war crimes against the Palestinian people and that United States citizens understand that he is breaking international and U.S. laws by providing military, monetary and diplomatic support for the Israeli government's extermination campaign against the Palestinian people.

Our laws and regulations against war crimes mean nothing if they're not enforced and only Congress can legally enforce them. While we continue taking to the streets, we can also demand Congress do its job!
