Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

the thing about this El Salvador stuff is it's a direct evolution of Guantanamo Bay, a black site with bipartisan support maybe the next time Dirty Leftists point out how every illegal thing America does to 'bad guys' will eventually come for you, someone will listen

How do the 1% control the 99%? By buying out political parties and ensuring you can only vote for one of the two candidates they control. Primaries are more important than the actual elections in this scenario.

The stickers are here!

The prayer room at NYU — accessibly only via NYU ID — was vandalized with islamophobic graffiti and prayer mats were reportedly urinated on. NYU didn’t address the incident for several hours. Elected officials quick to condemn antisemitism have said nothing.

Now entering the FO MAGA phase after ten years in FA? #FAFO

Killed in their Eid dresses: children bear brunt of Israeli air strikes during festival

Today my dyslexia reached a new owl.

West Bank settler extremists deserve to be seen as the Jewish equivalent of the KKK in the post-Reconstruction US South: Violent extremists acting officially independently of the state, but with tacit state support, knowing they will not be punished. If you reject that comparison, ask yourself why.

This meme is evergreen.

trump just shut down all weapons shipments to ukraine overnight so for all the people who spent all year feigning confusion about what biden could possibly have done to slow down the massacres in gaza, it would have looked like that

Genuinely appalling and revealing how much more thorough, thoughtful and well-researched the videogame speedrunning community has been in evaluating Elon Musk's claims than the tech press or DC political press youtu.be/z1ykCc588Zw?...

the most ashamed i have felt as an American was recognizing all my Iraqi friends had a specific facial expression when talking about dead loved ones that meant, "they were killed by your military but i don't want to say that because we're buds and i don't want you to feel bad"

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

Yup. Biden made me question what America even stands for. Trump never had the same effect because I never associated him with mainstream American values.

Poor America, stuck between AIPAC and a DOGE place.

Could be America but for the Supreme Court and Lobbying.

“Political Bullshit” wrt DOGE. Interesting to see traditionally right wing spaces come more to the center as they see a lot of potential business in the left since the bulk of new and first time buyers are all lefties.

Good, if demoralizing read. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It should never have taken this long for the UN to confirm - but such was the politics of Biden & starvation in Gaza, Sudan became an afterthought, a pervasively ignored crisis of immense - unfathomable - proportion. War starving them, geopolitics killing even more. sudantribune.com/article297671/

Saw this on Reddit :D Numpty Trumpty tariffed then all Numpty Trumpty tried to blame all All the kings homies and all his yes men Couldn’t get inflation down ever again

hakeem jeffries' wife packing up to go stay at her parents because she asked him to wash the dishes and he stood in front of the sink throwing his hands in the air and saying "what can i do, the water isn't even on"

Democrats as the depressed and ADHD people are sent to labor camps: "Can you spare $25 for us to bring the fight to Republicans?"

liberal seeing people being forced onto a train: well...who did they vote for?

Made some soul food today. Kinda like kung pao chicken but without the red chilies. I used cayenne for heat, unorthodox but it works for me!

The existence of billionaires is a massive national security risk.

I wish Americans would understand that Democrats ignoring international law (and their own Leah law) and Republicans ignoring US law are not separate acts but intrinsically connected. You can't stop the latter while ignoring the former.

Someone microwaved fish in the cafeteria at work. It is remarkable how far the smell is spreading.

Bonus video of how I sear steak on cast iron after it’s already cooked sous vide. A HOT cast iron skillet below, and a torch on top yields a nice sear on the outside without overcooking the steak.

I feel like having steak. Pics from an earlier time making ribeye sous vide and finishing on a cast iron skillet.

This is the inevitable result of having a government that consists of representatives who were vetted, and groomed by AIPAC to protect Israeli interests as well as other special interest groups by other lobbies but who have no real commitment to the United States.

Oops 😬

This is wonderful.

When you watch news in other languages you realize that the rest of the world was way more shocked about Trump's win in 2016 than in 2024. When asked why, most people (in the Middle East AND in Europe) blame the genocide and the Democrats inability to differ from Republicans. This isn't a fringe POV

White middle class Democrats' inability to view Gaza and the college protests as anything but a soundbite to score political points is the rot that let a rat like Elon Musk into our state structure

Trump keeps talking about 1.5-1.8 million people in Gaza. My biggest fear is that these are numbers he has from American intelligence about how many people remain. Very few were evacuated and there were 2.3 million at the start of this. That's 500,000 to 800,000 dead. I hope that is not the case.

This is the thing that might turn off a significant number of heretofore locked-in MAGA. They don't care that this admin wants to [checks notes] deport Indigenous people and American citizens, but they'll care that meemaw has to move in because her insulin costs more than her F150 every month.

In WWI millions of young men senselessly lost their lives because their leaders persisted in using outdated infantry tactics despite repeated evidence that automatic weapons had rendered them obsolete I think about this every time I hear @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social speak

One party is trying to do away with the first and the second as quickly as possible. The other party is trying to do away with the third. Fascinating.

All I can say is, nobody in the goddamned world knew what was about to happen in Syria on 26 November 2024, so maybe don't write your last testament yet

Without Joe Biden shitting the bed with Garland, hemorrhaging votes through not listening to his base, Trump could not have been in power today.
