Did you notice the corporate media blackout of the March 2 rallies for Palestine?
Hundreds of thousands of people across the United States took to the streets for Palestine as part of the Global Day of Action on March 2. The corporate media failed to cover it.
⬇️Thread
On March 2, hundreds of thousands of people around the U.S. joined millions of people around the globe for an international day of action to demand a ceasefire, no invasion of Rafah, and a free Palestine.
It is an outrage that mainstream media outlets almost completely failed to cover the massive pro-Palestinian demonstrations taking place in dozens of cities across the country.
In New York City, an estimated 50,000 people marched with energy and determination in the rain to demand an end to Israel and Biden’s genocide on March 2.
In San Francisco, 15,000 people took to the streets as part of the global day of action to say, hands off Rafah!
In Boston, thousands rallied and marched in the freezing rain outside of Cambridge City Hall on March 2 to say end the siege on Gaza now!
Thousands of people in Los Angeles rallied and marched outside of City Hall in a massive display of solidarity with Rafah on March 2.
Thousands in Washington DC surrounded the Israeli Embassy on March 2, just one week after the self-immolation at that location of US Airman Aaron Bushnell
The U.S. corporate media is trying to cover up Israel and Joe Biden’s genocide of Palestinians.
Between the continuous lies, the misleading headlines and the misrepresentation of peoples’ movements, mainstream media outlets serve as an arm of the war machine.
The media can attempt to silence our movement, but Biden cannot escape his plummeting popularity and the hundreds of thousands of people continually taking to the streets against his complicity in genocide.
We will continue to disrupt business as usual until Palestine is free!🇵🇸

🧵Some of Trump’s lies are easy to spot. He has not brought down prices, he has not brought back good jobs, and Elon Musk is not carrying out the hostile takeover of the federal government out of the goodness of his heart.
But other lies are more carefully hidden. Here are six quotes from Trump’s speech last night, and what they really mean ⤵️
The Zelensky-Trump meeting just blew up in a shouting match in front of the media.
Here's 3 things to keep in mind to understand what’s really going on. 🧵
1⃣ Ukraine is a pawn that has been used repeatedly by the U.S. government and NATO to put pressure on one of their main targets: Russia. It’s not true that somehow Zelensky swindled all of the most important imperialist powers into supporting a war that’s against their interests.
Zelensky has been happy to be a puppet of Washington, but now there’s a new puppeteer in charge and he seems to no longer have use for Zelensky.
2⃣ The $500 billion mineral deal that Zelensky was supposed to sign during his visit was not about “getting taxpayers’ money back”. The revenue from Ukraine’s natural resources would go to American mining corporations.
Working people who have seen tens of billions of our tax dollars wasted on the war in Ukraine would not get a penny back. Like everything with Trump, this was about lining the pockets of CEOs.
The corporate media is celebrating the gains made by the "rebels" in Syria in their campaign to overthrow the government. But don't be fooled – these are no freedom fighters. 🧵
The Syrian "rebels" are led by Al-Qaeda.
The Syrian "rebels" have committed terrible crimes against the people of Syria.
Trying to take advantage of the situation in Lebanon, U.S.-backed “rebel” fighters have launched a new offensive to try to overthrow the government of Syria.
Here's why a victory for the “rebels” in Syria would be a defeat for Palestine ⤵️
1. The overthrow of a government at the top of Israel's hit list.
2. Losing a safe haven for Palestinian organizations.
On Juneteenth, we honor the heroic history of the fight for Black liberation & commit ourselves to continuing this struggle today!

Both Israeli and U.S. officials want you to believe that the Palestinian resistance is refusing to negotiate a ceasefire, allowing the war on Gaza to continue in perpetuity.
In reality, Israel has rejected or ignored at least a dozen deals agreed to by the Palestinian resistance since October 7. Enough is enough!
