*playing an episode of pod save america backwards* and then I just run past them? really?

what if my political cause is being shitty to wormy little hacks that try to pass for journalists

i'm not a fan of piker, but the sudden obsession with him is deranged. also pretty rich for the people who brought you "paul ryan is serious about poverty" and "sbf is For Real" to talk about poisonous contributions

the reason for all the hassan piker discourse the last week is that right wing streamers are in the news a lot for being shitheads and so the media needs to both sides the issue even if it means making shit up and inventing news cycles

For most of the time I worked on the Gaza humanitarian response at USAID, this smuggling ring was the bane of our existence. It dramatically impacted price and market stability in Gaza and made the truck drivers jobs far more dangerous. We all knew it was the IDF running it.

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work" I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

“I enjoy watching the TV show The Pitt” - this is what all you The Pitt fans sound like 🙄

This is one of the worst things I have ever read and I study frontier genocide as a profession.

I wrote abt the bad faith smear campaign to equate support for Palestine with rape apologia—a strategy that's actually emboldened Israelis to escalate sexual violence against Palestinians (pulling from my forthcoming book on connections btwn state violence & DARVO): substack.com/home/post/p-...

where are the “no more university involvement with Iran” protests supposed to take place? West Point?

The person that is nice to you, but not nice to the waiter, is not a nice person. These Senate Dems voting for Trump nominees are not just cowards—they are stupid, incurious, and unaware of things the whole world knows.

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Iftar, Day 19

BREAKING: Iran has struck the Bass Prop Shops pyramid

fifas gotta give him a war prize now

This is not true. Schumer and Jeffries could be doing much more procedural obstruction. The goal is a comms goal: to act like this is an abnormal fascist govt, not to completely block R action. But it’s probably too late: they blew it. Thread below explaining. 1/4

This posting sucks.

One thing to bear in mind as critical context is that these are the biggest fucking cowards who ever lived. He "survived" being spoken to sternly by a woman.

Minnesota still needs your attention

Everybody who perpetrated this while covering it up should be in the Hague www.reuters.com/world/early-...

"you wanted a pony" is the guilt talking. the knowledge that you didn't push the party to do the right thing out of triangulation and cowardice. you tried to play a very dangerous game of enticing the enemy at the expense of alienating your allies and you're lashing out the people who warned you.

i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left

collaborators

nolan thick

the europeans Fucked Around (at best quietly sat around during or at worst actively abetted our utterly lawless sponsored genocide in gaza) and now theyre Finding Out (getting the other end of the utterly lawless US stick)

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

tomorrow: leaflets air-dropped over the Twin Cities inform residents that unless they evacuate to certain designated zones they and their families will be treated as enemy combatants by the most moral ICE in the world

They fucking did this shit after W and Trump 1, how did it fucking go, I forget

there’s really no reason to think anyone who supported anything short of abolishing ice the past ten years isn’t going to go straight back to We Just Need Better Training when a dem is in office again. better to make that politically untenable before the campaigns even officially start

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

the government's paramilitary stormtroopers quite literally went from murdering a woman to tear gassing high school children in the same day.

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

showing up to he dsa meeting with a porkpie hat and a big mustache and advising them to invest in AdamsCoin

imo the through-line goes back to okc, which i have come to believe is a strong contender for the most successful terrorist attack in history

Let’s be honest: nothing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have done in the last 56 years justifies the tremendous cost of bringing them back from the moon. NASA should’ve spared the long-suffering taxpayer and left them up there

cuomo watching zohran and trump like the grinch hearing the whos singing

A former Fetterman advisor texted me: “I think what comes across is the reality of who he is, which is a petulant child who never became a man and is always the victim of his own narrative—even though he’s never had a real job and lives off his dad’s money. It's all pretty sad and pathetic."

pretty much beyond question that Larry Summers led the charge against Claudine Gay because he is personally a vitriolic misogynist and racist www.thecrimson.com/article/2024...

not to beat a dead horse but they do this not out of some belief about maximizing electoral returns but out of an aversion to rhetorically committing themselves to doing something about epstein/corruption/ICE/whatever other issue they’re avoiding, should they win power back
