Boston Marathon bombing was an FBI Entrapment scheme that got away from them

And to add onto that, it would entail American-settlers in Venezuela being made the Treasury Secretary, a deputy defense secretary, head of the DHS, multiple Justices of the Supreme Court, a couple dozen members of Congress.

Most common response I got to saying that the median Democratic Party voter/activist is significantly to the left of political leadership on Palestine, ICE, etc was that the median Democratic Party voter/activist is too far to the left and therefore unrepresentative. I guess people can't read?

Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed. Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

This would be a perfect excuse for Mamdani to provide leadership and issue a demand to NYC hospitals that have withdrawn from gender care for youths.

Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.

SCOTUS rulings can, in fact, be substantively unconstitutional. Or can reflect a clear violation of separation of powers, which is procedurally unconstitutional. A POTUS who rejects such SCOTUS holdings is acting very differently from one who rejects legitimate SCOTUS holdings.

What counts as an illegitimate SCOTUS holding? That's hard! Forces pundits to actually think abt the substance of things--and for the centrist pundit, forces them to actually commit to substantive values other than "in the middle of those guys." Just counting all defiances the same is easier.

I think the biggest problem with police today is how right-wing they are. They are more and more so each day. Every example of ICE or CBP brutality cements their support. Call a murdered women a bitch, the rank-and-file cheer.

Anyone who cries about the statute but didn't cry about 100,000 and more murdered in Gaza or the destruction of dozens of villages in Lebanon or the invasion of Syria or the bombing of the Global Sumud Flotilla or the indiscriminate bombing of Yemen or of Iran is the exact kind who enables this.

Biden's point man on Lebanon and one of his overall most important advisor for MENA said yesterday morning that he agreed with Trump's strikes on Iran last year lol. Democrats really need to reassess how people like this were (and still are) allowed to be at the top of their foreign policy echelon.

Cory Booker loves genocide *so much* that he was the only democrat to vote to confirm Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's disbarred convicted felon father, as ambassador to France. This Kushner. Guy just really loves dead Gazans that much. www.justice.gov/archive/tax/...

This bullet point from Alex Karp/Palantir’s latest diatribe strikes me as the best representation of the whole project. “The elite’s intolerance of religious beliefs…” Let me stop you right there, Alex. You just made that up. That isn’t a thing in 2026 America.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

And all of this nonsense has to be thrown up by booker because otherwise the Democratic Party and its consultants would have to recalibrate. Instead, he’s just gonna do the thing that democrats have been doing for a decade which is hoping and praying that their base is all Reagan republicans.

Like the organized left is in such a period of retreat people forget that independently of electoral politics workers are capable of making demands and not just voting and occasionally succeeding in getting temporary concessions. This is what I’m talking about. this is what needs to be built

THEMSELVES have championed the Republican Party as it grew ever more toxic, and now they are blaming voters THEY CLAIM AGREE WITH THEM for that Party they've been championing won a fucking election? Goddamn, man, the Democrats can be so entitled and annoying. We really let them down, didn't we.

because of the larger failure of the Democratic Party at an institutional level. Democrats for 30 years just left it to SCOTUS to do all the heavy lifting them for them, and then were stunned when the system and process wouldn't just inevitably let them win issues they wouldn't legislate.

he did that super long performative filibuster and then within days was voting for trump judicial nominees. like, dude, you are inauthentic as hell.

Did they pass a law about smirking and if they didn’t why does this include it

liberals on this microblogging website

I might have actually found the wildest Mommunism take yet. What the helly

Centrist Dems won’t shut up about how we’re too mean and condescending to Trump voters and how electoral expediency requires us to welcome them back into the fold. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not, but it’s bizarre not to extend the same argument to people who already vote for you.

Love to live in a country where the respectable, reasonable statesman are even more bloodthirsty lunatics than the senile fascists we elected to replace them.

The vast majority of American liberals do not know that Netanyahu was kind of mean to Obama and so that doesn't rank in the top ten reasons why the median Democrat has soured on Israel, don't confuse median and elite opinion.

'Why don't Palestinians peacefully protest?' They do, routinely, and are met by Israeli sniper fire for doing so.

People always say stuff like “when will there be a Palestinian Martin Luther King?” and I have to remind them that there have been hundreds and just like the real MLK they all were assassinated

Marwan Barghouti is the most popular Palestinian alive and has expressed support for a partition along the pre June 1967 borders into a separate state. Barghouti has been in Israeli jail for two decades and is routinely tortured and even threatened with murder by Israeli politicians and guards.

There is a subset of people on here who have convinced themselves that there is no legitimate basis for being frustrated with Schumer because the people they hate in their phone were frustrated with him first. That is a bad way to interact with politics.

It’s not the case that Trump “got pulled into” attacking Iran any more than Netanyahu “tricked” or “played” Biden. To put it this way denies that most of our Beltway foreign policy actors, both parties, have deeply internalized Israel’s perspective and interests. That’s an American pathology, on us.

thinking of the pride and full nights of sleep on the part of, for example, the surviving family members of those the US murdered in wedding drone strikes at his direction

Do you see how democrats enable the slide into fascism Trump and Biden both acted in accordance with US imperialist ambitions. This is a dangerous narrative they are enabling on purpose to excuse US leaders behavior

I cannot emphasize this enough: this rhetoric is IDENTICAL to the Nazi rational for Lebensraum. Chuck Schumer is a genocidal fascist.

And he said this in 2018. Do you know what was happening in Gaza in 2018? The Great March of Return, where Palestinians marched in peaceful demonstrations along the border wall. For this, the IDF murdered 233 Palestinians, including 46 children, and injured over 9,000.

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?

Has anyone thought of asking the "woke" Pope if sentencing millions of trans people to misery and death by unilaterally cutting off their healthcare is in his interest or no

“This bill is an extreme take on the already extreme copy-paste legislation peddled by the Palantir-funded, billionaire-backed Cicero Institute...” housingnothandcuffs.org/2026/04/16/s...

obviously no person says this but doing this signaling bullshit is really gross. there’s fascism to get mad about. stop punching ghosts.

the insistence that a Jewish ethnostate *must* exist and that America is somehow bound to support it regardless of its actions is disqualifying in itself. and it’s all right there in the video! but saying Palestinians “refuse” to believe in the Torah is not what he said and needlessly inflammatory.

I once challenged someone online to give me one example of an elected Democrat using the phrase "birth-givers" in place of "women" and they unearthed a single transcript of a three hour long hearing from the Congressional Black Caucus in which it appeared once.

If you have not yet learned to treat anyone making this argument with enormous skepticism I do not know how to help you; this is the political equivalent of arguing that a car with a blown engine needs a new coat of paint, but worse because there's actually nothing wrong with the paint.

Just to be clear here: the Labour antisemitism terror was created offscreen by Peter Mandelson’s protege Morgan McSweeney, working secretly with journalists from the Times to stoke fear and panic. And we know this because Morgan himself has said that’s what he did.

Side issue: if Labour wants to know why it is loathed it is because, despite promising change, it has done nothing to change, indeed it has embedded, the cultural conditions that make the above statement true.

People need to stop thinking about politics in these interpersonal "partnership" metaphors. Liberalism is not your wife, your coworker, or your neighbor. Your role is not to treat it like some person you're buttering up. I care about real people; I do not give a damn about liberalism.

I've honestly run out of ways to tell these liberal snakes that I have zero interest in being their "coalition partner." I am not some toxic ally or some sneaky wrecker, I am openly saying that I have zero interest in working with people who take every chance they can get to destroy my politics!

The great thing about positions which are appointed for life is that they tell you how you get people to vacate them right in the core concept.

It’s interesting how socialists should always be managing their politics and criticism in reference to what Democratic leaders find acceptable because they might be deemed ungettable voters when 1/3+ of the country already consistently opt out of standard bourgeois electoral politics (voting D or R)

“socialists need to manage their criticism of Obama” but no one is telling liberals they need to manage praise of Obama to remain credible to the people who lived through his admins management of the foreclosure crisis or keeping us on fossil fuels when most people worried about climate change etc

So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this. The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.

Funny how the dudes with their First Amendment dander up about John Eastman never seem to give a shit about this kind of thing
