I think we should break up segregated communities

"Hukou with leftist characteristics" would probably poll at 30% nationally (80% on here)

the garbage can lady did a stupid and obnoxious thing while likely drunk. she definitely wasn't innocent, she probably didn't deserve to have her life ruined either. a drunk and disorderly misdemeanor would have been appropriate. that's pretty much all the discourse there is to have.

Seeing stuff like this makes me sick. And it’s not just a right wing thing either. Especially when @aubreygilleran.bsky.social had to defend his own fucking family yesterday

Its literally just the One China policy with a land acknowledgment lol

there's literally a bunch of terfs on this website and I barely see anyone go after them bsky.app/profile/cool...

Consistent with a theme I've noticed in progressive policymaking, where advocates/policymakers assume that the only acceptable policy intervention is one that carries no possible tradeoffs, and that there are surely no tradeoffs associated with leaving a horrendous status quo in place.

In my courses I've had to think a lot more about who/what I assign bc theoryspeak has gotten so bad on social media that its absolutely made a lot of ppls understandings of some concepts reactionary. 'Gentrification' & 'Cultural Appropriation' are two in particular that need lots of unlearning now.

And the fact that less than 24 hours after this happens, a bunch of Online Leftists (™️) on here are dogpiling a gay man who adopted a Black daughter with his partner solely because the adoption was transracial....two points are a line, not a pattern, but I don't like this line.

Teamsters delenda est

I think breaking up segregated communities is good, actually.

as someone more in the globe emoji camp I fuckin hate a lot of the incumbents. Processbrained nimbyism for miles.

Absolutely not, I am happy for you though or sorry that happened

I do think the anti-interracial marriage shit from DAC is really bad tbh, her opponent definitely did not cover themselves in glory in regard to racism either, but it's the kind of thing that should be beyond the pale. That is a normative not descriptive claim, it obviously isn't because she won.

this is, relatedly, an insane thing for Black Democrats to believe, but it helps them defend their fiefdoms and that's all they seem to care about

During Woke 2.0 we just are not going to tolerate bigoted nonsense like this. We are not going back to Stephen millerism but woke

Okay this entire thread is insane. Just…wow. The brainworms some people have to defend racism but “leftistly”.

Stop liking this post I was wrong about user JP He is advocating for a ban on white people adopting black kids Which is wrong and bad

Similar anecdotal evidence is used by conservatives to say that gay couples shouldn’t adopt. Again, go fuck yourself.

This was beastmode

For years, the anti-immigrant go-to line was that they were anti *illegal* immigration, because they believed in rule of law and had compassion for immigrants who "did it the right way." Now, from the White House and Supreme Court on down, it's openly anti-rule-of-law and anti-nonwhite-immigration.

Free trade was like the one thing that Clinton was genuinely better on than alot of the Dems today tbf

Somehow the IDC returned

As a white parent of a Black child, I can sometimes get a little incensed by some left-liberal commentary about interracial adoption. But parents like Barrett conform to the worst stereotypes and validate those comments.

"But Platner is bad and voting for him is corrupting" True, very true, Republicans being fascist erodes our system of government in many ways. Meanwhile we have to beat them decisively to fix things.

John Roberts will want you to forget everything that happened this week at SCOTUS after he confirms that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means what it says, please do not fall for it

The Supreme Court really is on a Murray Rothbard "we shall repeal the twentieth century" roll

Today's TPS decision is so fucking cruel because Haitians and Syrians followed all the rules that they were supposed to follow and now they're all of a sudden here "illegally" because a bunch of racists said so. I'm feeling so much fury on behalf of the many Haitians I know.

Yep. Outside of obvious stuff like canceling people who screamed the n word at baristas (which was why MAGA disliked it), alot of the targets of Woke 1 were just liberals/leftists fighting other liberals/leftists

the problem with backlash explanations is generally that most of the people who were impacted the worst by woke 1 excesses were in blue states and within vaguely a dem orbit. red states always hated liberals and hating liberals more is an intensification rather than a difference

America is gonna win the 21st century by default because, despite actively trying to kill ourselves, China is trying to Maoism & debt it’s way out of demographics and Europe is like “air conditioning is evil yankee devil magic”

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

Democrats like Democrats who like Democrats. This is why Bernie lost in 2016/2020, Dems are getting primaried now, and why AOC might win in 2028

I think this is Woke 1 nonsense, & that most afro latina women don't say things like "ugly-ass colonizer women"

The median democrat is significantly better on immigration and social issues than quite a few center left and left wing European parties

I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable. The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

There’s nothing extreme about social democracy. These people are willing to stand up and fight real extremism and that’s why they’re winning.

There were plenty of moderate Democrats who in the immediate wake of 2024 thought the path forward was to move towards Trump/Trumpism. Hochul, to her immense credit, correctly understood that the actual move was to double down on "hey, fuck that guy. He sucks shit and I hate him"

I think Goldman wasn't the worst of the pro Israel candidates and I respect his work on Trump impeachments, but Lander is a straight upgrade

The Democratic Tea Party is here if it weren't obvious enough. Dem elected officials who don't fight back should be warned

Reynoso ran a campaign shitting on ppl that moved into the city from elsewhere--aka a majority of NYers. Its a deserved loss.

As someone who was a clinton/biden voter (and someone generally pro D establishment), it is absolutely maddening seeing moderate/establishment dems take up the cause of NIMBYism. Its exactly how you lose dems like me. And they are paying dearly for it in primaries

That scumbag brad lander who did things like escorting immigrants to immigration court and getting arrested for it

a lot of this makes sense when you realize the base of the left in NYC are renters, who a lot of machine centrists view as intruders

Big props to Brad Lander on winning his primary. Dude has done the moral thing many times and put his body on the line against ICE. He even came to Minnesota during the ICE Occupation to see the injustice firsthand. It’s nice to see moral courage rewarded by voters.

Dem tea party time

Crockett supporter tantrums seem oddly reminiscent of Republicans after Romney lost in 2012. They are mad that the winner had the temerity to campaign and win. As far as primaries go, the TX senate primary was also pretty tame. Especially compared to Maine this year, 2008, 2016, or 2020.

Ronaldo is significantly more annoying and also a bad person. Messi fans on the other hand are currently more annoying
