outgroups that outgroup other outgroups are the reason Neimoller wrote that fucking poem.

The new Digital Circus episode was incredible, holy shit.

A crucial part of anti-Zionist rhetoric is that the Israeli political project does not actually represent or protect all Jewish people. You are undermining anti-Zionism when you go around acting like all Jewish people automatically support Israel. The percentage that actually do isn’t relevant here.

If someone yelled "9/11 was bad" at my wife while she's wearing a hijab, our being angry about that would not mean we co-signed 9/11. If you cannot understand that an anodyne (or even correct!) moral sentiment can be weaponized by racist assholes, your brain is cheese.

for what it's worth i don't think Abughazaleh should feel bad at all if this goes the way it looks like it will from here. she ran a strong campaign in a spot where she was always going to be a massive underdog and she came much, much closer to doing the thing than I expected.

a BIRDBRAIN, baby, i don't think my head is coming off!

me: if z is the length of a slice and a is the area of the pie, then pi(zz)=a PhD advisor: this is what you’ve been working on for three and a half years?

It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Kind of insane to be saying this during Jesse Jackson's funeral

“Hang on, sweetie. Mommy’s gonna take a picture of your homework so she can make a dumb joke that maybe 3 of her internet friends will chuckle at.”

The stakes could not be higher. The US-Israeli war on Iran is catastrophic—and rapidly expanding across the region. Yet Democratic leaders are failing to muster a clear, anti-war response. Instead it's sleepy, feigned opposition after the deed is done. By me and @ahjohnson.bsky.social

I don't understand this coordinated response of Dems going, "Trump owes us an explanation for attacking Iran!" Do they expect his failure to provide one will produce a politically advantageous gotcha? Come on. Just say the war is stupid, wasteful and it should cease. Stop being weak and terrible.

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic (Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes) #simpsons #kelly #steamedhams

We should in fact maintain strict vigilance about "is it that you're against the bad stuff Israel is doing, or is it that you're a fucking antisemite???" The Platner candidacy, at this point, seems pretty expressly premised on "no we shouldn't"

what Democrats can do, as a party, is provide unambigous moral leadership in opposition. or well, they could if a third of the caucus and virtually all of leadership didn't support it

"fuck this war, it's reckless, illegal, and will get innocents killed" clears "ah um mr president sir you must be honest with congress pwetty pwease"

See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Senior expert on Iran at @crisisgroup.org Ali Vaez.

my hatred for Schumer is basically just eclipsed by my hatred of Trump and his viziers at this point

The Trump regime illegally bombed a school in Iran and the opposition leader demands…an immediate briefing.

Trump has launched a war of “fury,” to “raze” and “annihilate,” that has already killed dozens of Iranian girls, reportedly cost the lives of U.S. servicemembers, and will kill many more of both. He is acting without authorization by Congress and flouting international law.

Labour/Reform: "The Greens want to legalize ALL DRUGS and PROSTITUTION!!!!" Gorton and Denton voters: "oh word?"

people wonder why the backlash to Newsom-as-Democratic-nominee is so fierce even this far out, and the answer is really straightforward: there is an entire network of guys who are manufacturing consent for candidates like Newsom to sell out on trans issues because it's the "pragmatic" thing to do

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

Trying to find a new show to get into, I've heard good things about Severance, I still haven't watched the third season of Squid Game so maybe I could rewatch that. Any shows y'all would recommend?

"America will never elect a woman President" the only women we've tried running was a deeply unpopular First Lady and Secretary of State and the Vice President to one of the most unpopular Presidents in recent history, I don't think we can really reach that conclusion yet.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

KOG IS GREENLIT! Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

denialism ends up with the same tropes no matter what end of the political spectrum it comes from; this was literally a popular line among Holocaust deniers after the war, "if the Jews were killed why are there so many of them in London?"

give me the ferments and free my soul I’m only eatin yogurt at the super bowl I’m RFK

UK Labour is a case study in what happens when you prioritize winning over actually standing for something. They chased the center-right so hard they’re basically just the Tories in red ties now.

There's a weird amount of Newsom glazing that comes from people who are unfamiliar with California politics and I can assure you that a hypothetical President Newsom would be the American Keir Starmer

Bloomberg: bitten by groundhog de Blasio: murdered groundhog Adams: refused to touch groundhog Mayor Mamdani, the world is watching…

Opposition to ICE funding AND redirecting the funds towards healthcare is the kind of strategy Dems should be adopting if they hope to win back power.

You worms, what do you expect a party to do without power? Demand more from Republicans on an issue that is becoming more unpopular and detrimental to republicans? Do bargaining 101 and aim really high and work your way down? Admit that a lawless agency will not commit to being lawful?

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

if I were a Democratic strategist, columnist, or politician, I would simply not be outflanked by Bill Kristol and this guy

The only solution is to primary everybody. And to keep primarying everybody, until they get with the fucking program. When we say "abolish ICE, abolish CBP, abolish the filibuster, throw Trump in jail" we're not asking.

Do not under any circumstances use a non-CoTCCC approved tourniquet on a GSW. CAT Gen 7s are $30-$35, readily available, and are proven to work on massive hemorrhages. 3D-printed slop that has not been approved by any regulatory body will get somebody killed.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

SHE WAS GOOD. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. is a haunting and evocative slogan tbh

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
