Just Israeli settlers casually causing an international incident by holding a US Senator at gun point with American made arms.

I really wish trans allies would fight as hard for us as those who hate us fight to eliminate us from society. The disparity there is why they're winning.

I first met @abdulelsayed.bsky.social through our dear friend Ady Barkan, who died of ALS while courageously crusading for Medicare for All, and there is no one who will work harder than Abdul to win that fight. (1/4)

I mean, he was (and is) correct. Harris's loss was multi-factorial, but the margin was small enough for individual factors to make the difference. The genocide in Gaza was significant enough that Harris splitting from Genocide Joe could have won her the election.

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing women who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

Congrats on turning 250, America. You grew up to become a fascistic terrorist state.

Ridiculous. Meanwhile, survivors who have been dragged into the various cases have had to pay their own legal bills from the beginning. I am lucky enough to have the privilege to be able to pay millions of dollars to defend myself and the people in my life. Most survivors don’t have that privilege.

I've met a lot of american socialists, but I don't recall ever meeting an american Stalinist. At this point, neolibs are just being delusional.

As someone who agrees this protest was fairly performative... CNN are a bunch of fucking party poopers. This proposal is the type of shit you tell your great grandchildren about as a treasured family story.

Let me guess, the bed sheet he's talking about is stark white. With two eye holes.

speaking generally, I think the no. 1 thing you can do as a cis ally is help a trans woman get a job

Today. 5:30 PM at Stonewall. Fuck the "Supreme" Court.

I mean, I'd say both parties have extremists that need to be dealt with. The catch is that the Dem side, the extremists are the extreme centrists who believe the only path forward is to capitulate to fascism.

The only person out of touch is you. Why are you, some no capital having loser, so invested in defending an economic system that fucks over the poor and working class? Why does it offend you even more if people with capital become invested in tearing down capitalism? Go touch grass.

One of the main duties of congress is to conduct investigations. I hope they dig into every single nook and cranny of this administration.

Wanna know what class traitors who betray the capitalist class are called? They're called based.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

James, what the fuck are you going to do? Say they can't register as Democrats and can't participate in the Democratic primary? Cause that's what it would take. DSA is a machine unto itself.

Dude, you're just mad that the democratic voter base is turning socialist. Get real.

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

“This is just a symptom of the misogyny that runs deep in the west side machine,” Boylan told the Journal after learning about the remarks. “It’s unfortunate for all the women who have to be represented by this mentality and it must change.”

Hey, NYC: Today is the last day of voting for primaries. Vote now or wait in line on Tuesday.

When will we get GAC for youth 19 and under?

Yeah it's actually so annoying how many people are dunking on him for losing the war when "winning" the war would have probably looked like us killing far more civilians and throwing Iran into an even worse long-term crisis. This was an awful war that shouldn't have happened and we deserved to lose.

All my friends hate the Shah. Me and my friends would have [redacted] the Shah with hammers, I can tell you that much

This would be a good step. The bill would slash the 1.5T asked for by the Trump admin in half and earmark the savings to fund public services. Pretty achievable if we get a blue wave. One critique: why not remove our foreign military bases? You could even, tie it to restoring USAID!

If you ever have a stroke, just keep in mind: FAST. www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/fi...

I hate how so many neolibs and democratic party sycophants turn into neocons to dunk on Trump. Yes, Trump failed. Yes, rub it in his face. But keep in mind, the failure was starting the war; we should be pulling out and paying up. Don't let your anti-Trump impulse turn you into a reactionary.

While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters. The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down. They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽

Ask not what the state can do for you... nor what you can do for your state. Ask how you can help dismantle the state.

I mean, after what we just did to the country, the US does owe Iran reparations. I refuse to complain about paying up.

This is undeniably welcome, but we still need more from our city government. We need Mamdani to be ten toes down for trans kids; we need our city government to hear and fulfill the needs of them and their families.

The US should just leave the state of Israel to fend for itself. Just unilaterally pull out this war and be done with it.

Between this and his abandonment of trans children y’all gotta take off your rose colored glasses because we will never get him to move on any of this unless we’re standing up to him rather then kissing his feet and trying to get a selfie with him.

There is no feminism without trans liberation and civil liberties. None.

I’ve known David for years. They are the real deal, brilliant and a dear friend. We need experts on civil liberties who’ve lobbied Albany for our rights. And I’d love to see the first nonbinary member of the state assembly elected now more than ever.

Honored to cohost NYC Pride Kickoff with @christopherstreet.bsky.social featuring dear friends and luminaries I admire @abbystein.bsky.social and future congressman @bradlander.bsky.social Join us at the Stonewall Inn June 25th!

So glad I made it to the Just Look Up premier tonight & the subsequent talk with @dwallacewells.bsky.social & others. The direct action of @climatedefiance is one of the bright spots in this time - increasingly under attack as freedom of speech is challenged by fascist tendencies of our leaders.

Perspective from a born and raised Black Mainer, Samuel James: "Democrats’ national strategy doesn’t require that they win. Just that they raise money. And there is no shortage of people who will pay them to lose . . . It’s not enough to defeat Republicans. You have to call out your own party"

Meanwhile, the candidate owned by real estate developers, Antonio Reynoso, really should take a look at his glass house before throwing stones.

I usually love when people use my ideas! But in this case, @repdangoldman.bsky.social: You suck, you’re an anchor to any positive progress, you endorse a genocide, and you should get your own ideas instead of copying a Palestinian woman after censuring another. Fuck you.

What the fuck is this pearl-clutching left bashing? The left is not the ones silencing free speech or restricting freedoms. The left are the people getting squelched via state violence for protesting fascism. It's the UK libs who banned Hasan and Cenk for criticizing a genocidal apartheid state.

💀

While the evolution of warfare is horrifying, we cannot forget another parallel: Hezbollah and the Ukrainian state are fighting against aggressor states that threaten the sovereignty of those who have made their homes on the land. These are the tactics of those who refuse to be displaced.

At this point, none of our politicians have an excuse to have been there. You can't go to a Nazi bar and be surprised Nazis show up. You can't go to a KKK rally and be surprised at a burning cross. You can't go to a Zionist parade and be surprised when the genocidaires show up.

I'd say America's goal wasn't preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination. It was ensuring American domination of the Arabian Gulf. But yes, this is a massive L for American imperialism, and (I hope) the world will be better for it in the long run. American empire must fall.
