Basically the shifting goals means Iran won, and I don’t say this flippantly

You cannot be saying this kind of thing when your primary job is podcaster.

the same way eliminating car dealers, realtors and other parasitic right-wing industries needs to be a goal of the left for its own survival, eliminating chriorpactors, the supplements industry and other quack medicine needs to be on the agenda too

The problem is, you killed all the leaders who could actually agree to this, or murdered the entire families of the remaining leaders who could. Because we couldn't think past Step 1.

receipts. this is not good faith. if you want to call an entire line of investigation "spurious" and then back off to this much weaker position without admitting error, why should i take any claim you make seriously?

I would be honored to share title of “first nonbinary member of Congress” with @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Guess this is the excuse we’re all going to use to self justify

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." James Baldwin

my favorite article on this subject is the magazine named Jacobin arguing that it would be undemocratic for the French left to take coercive action against the French far-right

So many pro-Israel people responded to the Gaza genocide by insisting that there was some mitigating factor that made killing children less bad. And it convinced no one, because any time you are arguing why killing children is actually not so bad, you are making a monstrous argument.

CodePink IRA rave in Cuba during a power crisis is the most 3rdworldist-coded nonprofit move you could fathom. If you pitched this in propaganda Fox News would tell you to tone it down a lil

This is the path to genocidal madness actually. You can see it with Israelis themselves.

The divide of modern politics is between these people and the professional administrative class, who run—and whose livelihoods depend on the operation of—these complex systems of modernity.

I want to make clear for a second with this comment, it’s not just the green dipshit in this particular thread, it’s the entirety of 21st century fucking politics doing this now. Republicans want manufacturing job where hungover man swings hammer, because of aesthetic.

We should praise to Tucker Carlson when he says something self-evidently true. We should give John Derbyshire a hearing. We should let Charles Murray lecture at Harvard for some reason. Oswald Mosley wasn’t that bad. John Wilkes Booth had some interesting ideas about acting

One of the biggest things going on in Chicago since the 2010s has been a switch from a consistent bleeding out of population to now a situation where Chicago is gaining population fairly rapidly. Especially in the wealthier, like north side, parts of the northwest side too and even the south side

Gonna be honest with you guys, I really wish that "this particular ethnic group doesn't deserve rights because they're inherently Bad" was verboten in either American liberal or leftist spaces.

It’s good on an objective level that they’re changing their minds but it’s infuriating that there are people who like, voted Trump because they thought he would make McDonald’s French fries taste good again who are now going “wait a second…” you are fucking cattle

It's time to build, Illinois.

I think we just need to make this shit mandatory.

The fact that this is actually a reasonable, founded attack by Fox News makes me furious: www.foxnews.com/politics/war...

Which is why the decision by the ADL to go to war with Zohran Mamdani was a generational mistake. They think they can shut down criticism of Israel. But people will just get it from voices like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who care a lot less about distinguishing between state and people.

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

Truly indefensible. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

We don't call it the Big Beautiful Day for nothing

We should not forget that Ta-Nehisi Coates gave a far better answer to the "right to exist [as a Jewish state]" question than Tucker Carlson. The issue isn't that Tucker is the only one who will say it, but that the American commentariat ices out left-liberal, and often nonwhite, people who say it.

Israel doesn’t have a “right to exist” as a state grounded in ethnic cleansing and oppressing minorities. The same goes for the US, which Tucker says is under siege from minorities seeking to “replace” whites. This is where silencing leftwing anti-Zionists gets you: the right cornering the market.

Highly recommend those who still dispute the racial inequality of the Israeli system of control in both the pre-67 and post-67 territories read this report from Adalah, aka the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, on over 30 new laws passed since 10/07/2023 that cement Jewish supremacy.

“Our traditional responses — policing, and prosecution and arrest — have not reversed the trend of rising hate violence, because they can’t.” www.jta.org/2026/03/20/n...

No one better personified the political status quo's ability to identify the danger we faced in intimate detail while declining to act on it out of a sense of propriety.

TBH I'd love to see a state do a carbon tax on industrial polluters and earmark all of the money for subsidizing the buildout of renewables.

“a natural shortening of a word” describes a very solid range of common slurs. I’ll leave it to the experts to decide if it’s a majority of slurs by weight but, like, it’s most of the ones you think of when you think “slur”

Angie Craig delenda est.

Reminder that CBS spends thousands of dollars a day on an unnecessary security detail for Bari pagesix.com/2025/11/03/e...

The man who was killed—backed into and left in the road to die like a dog— was walking to his job at Home Depot on 1st Ave. He never made it to work. Traffic violence is a CLASS issue. The working class is disproportionately affected.

Tips from a Jew who wants to see Israel abolished and replaced by an egalitarian state with full political and civil rights for all residents of its territories: -"Zio" is a slur, in any context -"Zionist" is a vague term that you should really try to define before you go throwing it at people

Oh my god bro

Proud to stand w/ JBS workers from UFCW Local 7 on strike this week. Politicians from both parties have told us that we have no choice but to live this way. That’s a lie. When working people, ranchers & families come together, we can defeat the monopolies—we’ve done it before, & we will do it again.

Back in 2020 I saw an Azerbaijani victory parade in the streets of New York--literally a parade of trucks and buses, covered in Azerbaijani flags and lists of conquered towns--and if we all treated AIPAC and other Jewish communal organizations as the equivalent of those guys, we'd all be better off.

Something I think about a lot is @peterbeinart.bsky.social talking in THE CRISIS OF ZIONISM, all the way back in 2012 about how American Jews don't have a communal language or logic for processing the reality of Jewish power, as opposed to Jewish powerlessness.

the Nazi and Soviet files are full of stuff like this.

right, exactly. we are constantly manipulated by the {{{{{saudis}}}}} and ||||qatar|||| enages in essentially no other type of diplomacy. }{}china{}{ presumes to police and speak for its diaspora everywhere on earth, and makes claims to places which aren't even historically chinese. this is normal!

On this point, I think one of the best things that could happen to the American Jewish community is for everyone to stop giving a shit about our opinions about Israel.

AIPAC is going to be the 2028 primary's NRA.

It turns out that sometimes when you post a thread criticizing someone for letting their legitimate horror and anger lead to them drifting into the sea of algorithmically-promoted conspiratorial hateful slop, they read or & absorb it & engage productively & realize where they went wrong.

Here is Naftali Bennett, former Prime Minister and likeliest next Prime Minister of Israel, saying *explicitly* that the Bedouin-Palestinian citizenry of Israel is an existential threat to the Jewish nature of the state, and he even went as far as to imply that they'd do an Oct 7th style attack.

contrary to being *terrifying* these numbers speak to the fact that Trump admin hacks are still the significant minority in the federal government and/or Trump I hacks have been negatively polarized against Trump II
