I think it's very naive that some people are reading this as Gen Z bloodthirst and not simply clear-eyed acknowledgement of the reality that the current President led a fascist coup and got off free for it. That political violence already permeates society. That fascists are armed. "May"

The Democratic Socialists want your children to be fed healthy nourishing food and receive the best possible medical care, and to do that they intend to raise taxes on a handful of corrupt and squalid pedophiliac monsters who have stolen 1000x more money than anyone can spend—well not in MY America.

Fireworks are bad and destructive and the drone shows seem a lot better anyway

The premise here, repeated throughout American history, is that only some kind of mental manipulation could make white people enjoy art by black people. You start acknowledging black cultural contributions as valuable it’s a slippery slope to seeing black people as people bsky.app/profile/left...

Indeed, Morocco offered the first recognition of an independent United States by any nation in the world, when its progressive Sultan Sidi Muhammad Ibn Adballah wrote to European leaders in December 1777 formally opening Morocco's ports to American ships.

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

The image here borrows its title from Grant's 1868 presidential campaign slogan, "Let us have peace." Here's what Frederick Douglass had to say about that sentiment.

Back on my bullsh

Hey, look at that, what had been subtext is once again just text. This is a Redeemer administration.

People who might otherwise have been fairly normal push each other further into delusion when grouped together.

Ah lovely, official White House account doing Lost Cause propaganda. "Unity" with Confederates is bad, in case anyone didn't know this.

This is cool (the first one especially)

Israel and Russia are both engaging in genocidal wars of conquest and should be stopped.

Call me boring but -El-Sayed is awesome and we should have more candidates like him and I'm very happy that I think he'll win. -Platner will win. Bleh. Let's make sure the fool behaves himself now. -Iowa and Ohio are fool's gold and should not be so easily trusted. Brown underperforms often.

I think we should have a President that lives in reality (this rules out a shockingly high number of Americans, for all that this is terrible, Trump really does represent a significant seath of the country).

Your two options in American politics are the "let's raise taxes and give rural America subsidies" party and the "let's cut taxes and give it all to billionaires" party. I think it would be neat if there were a "raise taxes and invest in urban areas" option!

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

Israeli genocide being equated on purpose with capitalism is... not the tack I suggest that people who support capitalism take. I don't think you'll like the results.

This isn't a level of stupidity that you can be born with and live with under normal conditions. This is delusion born of willful ignorance and political incentives that would be incomprehensible to the average American. To believe this framing is to be incompetent to serve, to lie is just terrible.

I will categorically say that the answer to the question of "does X country have a right to commit genocide" is always no. That's not a thing you get to do, and if you're claiming that your right to exist is incompatible with not getting to commit genocide, you should try harder.

I have to admit I don't really understand the "does X country have a right to exist" framing. I don't really think any country has an inherent right to exist. Certainly not even mine. Countries exist because people and armies say they do.

thomas simply couldn't join the opinion, this corrupt, misanthropic bigot had to throw in his two cents and put his bigotry into the record

britmonkey.com/2020s-politi... Yeah nothing too surprising.

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

What would have happened in 2004 if, instead of giving into the framing and saying "oh yeah, we don't go for same sex marriage" we had party leaders unabashedly saying that we should have equality? We'll never know.

Who is "The White Moderate" in MLK's letter? It is not the resistlib or the diehard democrat, it is the person who insists that redlining protects communities

[man in the norman rockwell painting] i think segregation is bad and integration is good

These groups want more teen pregnancies. They want to stop people from being able to choose when to become pregnant. They want teen girls to be forced into marriages with much older men. This is why highly religious states have more teen pregnancies. www.livescience.com/5728-teen-bi...

The 15 most racist democrats you've ever seen are joining forces to recreate the Republican party from first principles

a reminder that watergate was legitimately bad. nixon weaponized presidential power to cover up crimes committed by his subordinates, illegally spying on americans and using agencies like the IRS to harass political opponents.

also this is basically republican orthodoxy, they just don’t say it out loud. the main intellectual project of the conservative judicial movement for example is to make watergate legal bsky.app/profile/theb...

If you are so axiomatically deferential to Israel that even someone like Tlaib who is expressly anti antisemitic and expressly pro egalitarianism framework is beyond the pale this is a you problem ultimately.

If you don't support any one of these things then how you are different from Biden, or Trump, or Obama, or Bush II, or Clinton, or Bush I, or Reagan? You're not. Your position is a smokescreen for support for Israel. Young people aren't stupid about this anymore. The terms have shifted.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

Good thing no Democrats supported Republican donor + predator Andrew Cuomo or a guy who made 200k dollars giving a speech for a GOP Congressman named Fred Upton in 2018, as he went on to narrowly win reelection. That guy's name? Joe Biden.

The last year has been truly incredible for New York City. Love it for them.

"Performative reading" is a psyop to maintain low literacy rates. "Analog hobbies and physical media collecting are over-consumption" are too while we're at it. Gen-Z are getting off algorithmic social media owned by nazis and are picking up a book? Quick, how can we make this seem cringe??

boy i love shoveling resumes into USAJobs knowing im never gonna get a response

Just watched Kornacki call the GA GOP Sen nomination runoff for Collins... on TikTok What a world we live in

Here are all 113 alleged members we were able to successfully extract. This data can also be verified via versions of the site captured by the Wayback Machine, even if it doesn't properly render the website.

End-stage "Fellow kids" syndrome is upon us now

Israel has bad bagels because bagels are an Ashkenazi diaspora food. The place to go for bagels will always be New York or Montreal. Israel has plenty of good food but Israeli food and Jewish food are not and will never be synonymous.

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth

“Court packing is never ever something you should do” is not a tenable position. It’s trivial to imagine a court so extremely anti-constitutional (and yet 34 senators won’t convict) where court packing would be the necessary lesser evil. The only question is if the Roberts Court is that bad. (it is)

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

"My mayor Muslim / my bagels Jewish / my Christian Dior / Knicks in Four" is basically Keats to me
