Only the New York Times, run by a fourth-generation nepo baby for an imagined audience of other elites with Roman numerals after their names, could treat such a small-bore common-sense tax proposal as the peak sign of a class war. If this is the peak of the "anti-rich current," they'll be lucky.

Congrats to the 20 year old intern in my office who when I read the headline about Philz removing Pride flags instantly said, “wow, that’s not going to last long &will prove to be an enormous PR nightmare for them!”

It’s impossible to explain this without recognizing that western discourse is structured by fairly sharp distinctions as to who is fully human and who is not. Once you realize that, however, you are bound to become very frustrated about the issues and sensitivities that get the most attention

why on earth are you trying to convey that message to the country chuck

Rotating villain theory undefeated

My God! The arrogance of these people! With enough money to live like royalties for 10s of lifetimes, spending a tiny fraction of it on the public good of a city you own luxury property in? THAT’s “scary”? Entitlement level = pi

2/2! New York state now officially has the suckiest Senate delegation, still 0/2

Also California, ranked choice voting is just sitting there

Let’s see if California can do better than 0/2.

This should be embarrassing for the Very Serious Conservative Catholics who carry water for this administration.

I disagree with this, but only because I am fine that it’s only true role is “phone finder” for those of us who like to keep our ringers off.

In the last 20 years, the "two state solution" has been a discursive mechanism to convince people that (1) this is a "conflict between neighbouring peoples" rather than between the state and dominated/colonised people within (2) That there's a credible route towards partition, when there isn't one

Elon Musk and his gang of pimple faced hackers ran wild in the government. According to both whistleblowers, they broke the law, over and over again. Today, we're launching a simple demand: #InvestigateDOGE and hold them accountable 👉 actionnetwork.org/petitions/el...

But it doesn't anymore, in part because the underlying discursive framework has totally flipped. It used to be that you demonstrated your liberal bona fides by being reflexively pro-Israel, and now you demonstrate them by being anti-Israel. This is the natural outcome of Israel being illiberal.

Trump is not a master media manipulator. The media are just masters at being manipulated.

imagine showing this to yourself a decade ago and explaining yes, this is where you are heading

LA's homelessness crisis is a humanitarian disaster - and our response isn't working. I have a plan to fix this.🧵⬇️

hmm if only there was another recent president with a habit of inane senility-induced rambling we could compare press coverage to

YIKES Becerra is a no go friends.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

It is wild to me that “pro-Israel” figures and the government in that country will just never grapple with the obvious reality that the scale of collapsing popular support for them in the US is solely their fault

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

Hall of fame FT correction

Never gotten over how Columbia had a whole micro-site paying tribute to its 60s protests and building takeovers; then, when Gaza protesters repeated that strategy they called in the NYPD

"Why are the people we had expelled, deported, and arrested not protesting on campuses?" - they asked, sincerely and stupidly.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

Yes, and right wing American Jews who told themselves Trump is Israel’s greatest friend are in for a rude awakening; they will have to tell themselves a bunch of soothing lies that absolve them for endangering Jewish people world wide. www.offmessage.net/p/25-thought...

I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...

what a glorious time capsule of this broken moment we are in

Thank you, @kim.senate.gov .

The correct response to this missive is Two Weeks to Impeach & Remove. Anything else is aiding and abetting these crimes.

Remember how you felt about people defending their neighbors in Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities around the US? Extend that empathy a bit further, to people Trump is calling animals. It may hurt to stop and think about how much you have in common with those people. That's okay. Let it.

Or you could go there and demand they come back

Called my Senators and Representative, urging them to cut their recess short, show up in DC, and prepare articles of impeachment against Trump for violating "18 US Code § 1091 prohibiting the crime of genocide," as so clearly explained by my @cipolicy.bsky.social colleague @dylanwilliams.bsky.social

Why is this your response to war crimes?

The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.

It’s such a high bar but there might not be a bigger gap between who someone thinks they are and who they actually are than Bari Weiss.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

where my “double hater” merch at? ✌️

Third Way has promoted the idea that Democrats should get cozy with Joe Rogan. Just in the past month, Rogan has said more vile, bigoted stuff than Hasan Piker has said in his entire career. That's just a fact.

The writers are ham-fisted this season.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

Roberts and the Republican justices deserve every bit of this fucking circus since this case should never even be here.
