DSA elected officials, labor activists, and anti-genocide organizers announced they’re reintroducing Zohran Mamdani’s “Not On Our Dime!” bill. The bill targets NYC-based “charities” that secretly fund illegal West Bank settlements or war crimes. Mamdani released a statement in support.

laughed so hard I almost crashed my car

The most obvious consent manufacturing operation since 2003.

Going LIVE with Austin Ahlman to discuss his non-partisan campaign for Nebraska's 1st Congressional seat — starting in 10 minutes! Join us here: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

consent manufacturing machine go brrrr

Finally, someone said it. That Reagan line was dogsh*t. Mamdani: “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help. I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

To recap: > Trump sues his own IRS for $10B > Judge moves to throw it out because you can't sue yourself > Trump ordered his own IRS to "settle" with him > Trump's AG// defense attorney agrees > Settlement includes $1.8B in payouts to his friends +IRS drop audits of Trump family and businesses

The Palantir Podcast Network really wants you to hate AOC and love Marjorie Taylor Greene. So weird! www.joewrote.com/p/why-are-ci...

The best campaign launch video I’ve ever seen. "When my mom took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket." Austin Ahlman is an independent economic populist running in deep-red Nebraska. Join Austin and me on Substack Live tomorrow, May 20th at 2 pm MST. Link below - don't miss it!

It's cool how the president is using tax dollars to pay his coconspirators. Very normal, sane democracy we have here.

Judging by the Trump-Xi summit, it's clear Western governments and media don’t know what to make of China. They fully adopted the New Cold War view and framed China as if it were dedicated to global communist takeover.

Finally. A politician with a spine. Melat Kiros, the DSA challenger for the Denver congressional seat, calls for Jared Polis' impeachment after he freed a convicted MAGA election rigger.👇🏻

You know the left-wing podcast went well when you have to spend all day insisting you're not a Republican.

The Washington Post Opinion video has 14 likes in 3 days.

AI data centers might raise electric bills and steal water. But that’s a small price to pay for this futuristic, revolutionary technology.

FINISH RECONSTRUCTION 👏 AOC: “MAGA is the last dying breath of the confederacy. In response to a confederacy, we have this moment here of liberation, abolition, and revival of the values that make this country actually great.”

I've thought about this comment on my substack for three days. I still have no clue what it means.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Jared Polis is a disgrace.

Centrist group Third Way announces an anti-DSA media push. Bring it on.

Here's what the U.S. really wants in Cuba — capitalism, not democracy.

Immediately after Nicholas Kristof's exposé on the systemic r-pe of Palestinians in Israeli prisons was published, Israeli-linked activists launched a counter-narrative to discredit his work. A 🧵on how Israel is fighting the media war against Kristof's column, aided by American mainstream media.

Mallory McMorrow attacked Abdul El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker on March 26th. Third Way, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and other centrists pearl-clutchers continued Piker criticism throughout April. On March 26th, El-Sayed was in third. Now he's in first.

I'm furious. "The print edition of an audiobook."

Euphoria is Israeli??? That explains so much.

John Fetterman is arguably one of the most powerful people on Earth. And he can’t even speak. What are we doing here?

Read this, if you can. The New York Times published a brutally honest account of systemic sexual violence against Palestinian hostages. Men, women, and children share how Israelis use rape as a weapon of war. I put a gift link below. But be warned, it’s extremely graphic.

Yellowstone exists in an alternate world where gorgeous young women are sexually attracted to underpaid, unshowered farm hands.

AOC is in Georgia speaking at Martin Luther King Jr.’s church about the assault on the Voting Rights Act: "Because no man can grant us our humanity. No Law can erase it. No king, no system and no President can strip it away.” (Part II is posted below)

🎶"Nah, Fuck Keir Starmer — Netanyahu's bitch and genocide armer." 🎶

AOC on her future: "They assume my ambition is positional, they assume my ambition is a title or a seat and my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go. Single payer is forever.”

How exactly should Democrats moderate on "Racial Preferences"?

Democratic voters want fighters. But all the Democratic establishment can do is surrender. In response to the Supreme Court's unilateral undoing of the landmark Voting Rights Act, Josh Barro suggests that Democrats become more like Republicans.

BTS pays tribute to the Leader of the Free World, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

I wish I loved anything as much as pundits love licking billionaires’ boots.

Conservative activist Riley Gaines is complaining about exploitative medical bills — the result of the capitalist system she defends for a living. "Conservatives reject empathy for others. Once a systemic issue affects them, they adopt the progressive view." www.joewrote.com/p/what-is-co...

A few months ago, leftists freaked out when AOC said some criticism of her was "unfair and counterproductive." Today, she helped release Chris Smalls from jail, and his response was to log on and say "fuck AOC." She was being nice.

This cannot be the correct way to hold a baby.

Excellent NYT opinion about Keir Starmer's failed centrism and its implications for Democrats. As the author points out, American centrists hailed Starmer as proof that "centrism wins elections." But they've pretended not to notice as his project crumbles. Gift link below👇🏻

Javier Milei’s economy and popularity are in free fall. The problem with libertarianism is that you run out of other people’s money.

He doesn't realize it, but Jonathan Chait actively describes living in an echo chamber. He took one step outside his bubble, heard ideas that made him uncomfortable, and ran back to his safe space at The Atlantic to cry about it. Legacy media could have saved itself. It chose not to.

Immediately after Spirit closes, Delta takes advantage of limited competition to squeeze passengers for more. This is why we need a publicly-owned airline. www.joewrote.com/p/spirit-air...

DSA celebrated May Day as more than a holiday: a reminder that the working class has always won by organizing, striking and acting together. From Haymarket to May Day 2028, the fight is for a world run by and for workers, not profit. inthesetimes.com/article/demo...

Israel’s National Security Minister Itmar Ben-Gvir celebrated his 50th birthday with a cake from his wife, displaying a noose and reading, “Congratulations Minister Ben-Gvir. Sometimes dreams come true.” This is a reference to the recently-passed apartheid death penalty law...

I don't want to hear Josh Shapiro's name mentioned as a 2028 contender again. He broke organized labor to help fascist Republicans during an election year, all because he couldn't take criticism from a woman.

Progressives are winning where the establishment said they'd couldn't. "As one local reporter put it, 'Analilia Mejia’s strength extended into areas that, just a few years ago, would have seemed completely un-winnable for a candidate with her ideology.'" www.joewrote.com/p/narrative-...

The last 1.5 years have been a nonstop lecture from the world of Abundance/WelcomePAC/The Argument telling Democrats to be less like Bernie Sanders and more like Josh Shapiro and Joe Manchin. With the last week, both Shapiro and Manchin have revealed themselves as Republican supporters.
