No bastard ever won a war by dying for his multicultural economic zone. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his autarkic ethnostate.

First half of this is a word for word reproduction of Hitler rationalizing why declaring war on the USA isn‘t going to end exactly how it ended.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

Give a bureaucrat a quota for racist reasons and he’s going to hit quota regardless of your reasons. None of us are free till we’re all free.

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

Lots that is grotesque here, but I think the key thing to notice is the zero-sum worldview: if we take in a 5yo immigrant, this somehow displaces or harms at 5yo American kid. There's a finite pool of "American" to distribute. A zero-sum worldview is the molten core of reactionary thinking.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

We did it! On to 200k.

The bad news: our amazing Chief of Staff and Policy Director @andrewdfine.bsky.social is leaving. The good news: He’s joining the Mamdani administration as Senior Advisor for Policy & Regulatory Reform to Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg! 🥳 Exciting news: We’re hiring a new policy director ⬇️

Friendship ended with New York Democrats new best friends are New York Democrats.

I have zero bandwidth to develop the idea, but the last decade has given rise to a gulliblity style, where a source’s statement is treated as the story regardless of whether it’s true or plausible. It creates stories that are technically true but functionally misinformation. You see it everywhere.

he admit it

Diaspora voters trying to get American power to weigh in for their people back in the old world is as American as apple pie. But targeting your old world rivals diaspora in America is scumbag nation wrecking shit. These are the rules.

Organize overtly. There are more of us than there are of them. The logic of surveillance bureaucracies is that everyone above some criteria must be surveiled. So every time some grandma starts fed posting, you’re just adding noise into their filter.

Abolish ICE is the slogan calibrated for political support. We’re also going to have to rebuild border patrol sans fascism. This is a little more touchy than internal enforcement but very necessary.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

RE: The discourse de jour.

the local DA should indict it. if they cannot serve the warrant because ICE has more men with guns, they should say so.

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

I keep thinking “I need to make a little video supporting SEQRA reform” then I see my fellow citizens in Minneapolis getting brutalized and I can’t quite muster the mental investment.

I want to point out that the median home sale in the US was about $400k. At 60-64 the top decile begins at about $3mm so about 7 houses worth. Those people are super high propensity voters. Don’t get me wrong, fuck this but you have to reckon with a significant petty bourgeoisie retiree class.

US Hegemony surrendered on the basis that there is no point of leading others if you don’t also get to humiliate them.

Really can't stand the self-abasement of takes posing as the reasonable middle by conceding it'd be a sensible policy to purchase / annex Greenland so long as it wasn't by force, as if any of the nonsense reasons are compelling. Stop it. There is no reasonable version, that would still be idiotic.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

maybe the number one lesson out of the Twin Cities that everyone can take is “it doesn’t fucking matter what label you march under, are you willing to defend and work with your neighbors to stop injustice?”. There are people from all over rising to the moment (and ppl from all camps missing it)

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

The biggest thing that blackpilled me on housing costs was a paper from the mid 00s which said "as recently as the 1960s someone who was on drugs who did basic day labor could afford a safe small single room even in expensive cities. In an attempt to remove this cities invented homelessness

franz von papen, the guy who led an attempted Prussian monarchist coup against the SDP, was a centrist

The regime is A broad tent including such diverse views such as 1933 Hitler’s “the Jews have stabbed us in the back” to 1945 Hitler’s “the master race is already too degenerate“.

this is the crux of it i think. i'm naive for not cowering in fear. if my grandfather had tried to vote for the first ten years of his adult life he could have been killed. i think i can deal with an ICE chud at my polling place.

someone with a lot of followers should post this every day to give the people who want to do liberal vs left discourse a place to hang out. it's a public service, like benches or water fountains

Another critical piece of missing context in this story: tax dollars flow from the MSP metro to rural Minnesota. People in the city subsidize the lifestyles of people living in the country minnesotareformer.com/2023/12/04/t...

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Socialist Housing printer goes brrr

You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.

Why did they make the GOAT being outside climate zone the “stay inside a box“ transport zone. I just want Mediterranean New York.

I don’t think TJ should be fired for calling Trump a “pedophile protector“ but I would have advised him to only say half as much.

If Trump backs off of Greenland it’s vitally important he be punished for the threats not compensated for them. EU should go after big tech profits and probably just ban the major platforms outright. Bases leases and security agreements should be reviewed. Cash for Ukraine may help Europe forgive.

Liberalism without socialism is a dead letter.

That's the fun. It's not traditional. It's a radical reactionary revolution. They're not trying to go back, they're trying to build a new world, one that views evil and domination as a positive good. Arne Carlson is the man they'll never be.

Courage is contagious

Recurring thoughts of mine: Trump will hog the stage at the World Cup. 80,000 people will be there. It’s easy to sing to the tune of Guantanamera “TRUMP IS A PEDO”

The Socialist YIMBY housing printer will go brrrrr

Literally doing the meme lol

Major problem with the truth is it limits one’s scope for novelty.
