Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

that's one of mine that, if i'm not mistaken 🫡

Really. You're going to tell us what to do? We're the ones paying the bill. Whose lives are on the line. Who are being abducted and deported. Who keep showing up to fight ICE We are the 7+ million who showed up and then voted Get rid of Schumer. Clean your house, get it in order, then listen.

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”

the reality is that they have already won & they do not want to change anything. they want a strong republican party, as they say often. the only time they put any work in is to sabotage candidates running to the left of them, otherwise they just sit around doing insider trading

getting harder to argue that the establishment democrats actually care about winning and accomplishing things, isn't it. in the sense of defeating the republicans and enacting the policies they run on, anyway

These people are going to send their life savings to a Macedonian server farm the second they don't have aides reading all their emails

lol she got his ass and he knows it

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

I hate the Democrats with my whole heart. A worthless party

People are going to die and it will be these democrats’ fault.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

Democrats negotiated a plan where a 8 completely safe dems would vote to open and the rest can post “i voted no” thats what all the negotiations were about: how they would explain the optics of the loss. it was never about saving healthcare

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

I genuinely wish I could get away with being as useless and incompetent at my job as any member of the Democratic Party. Like if I was even 1/100000th as bad at my job as any single one of them I would be out of work yesterday. Truly remarkable how utterly useless they can be and still just roll.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Having a really nice birthday weekend!

There’s definitely someone to blame here but it isn’t ChatGPT. I can’t wait for a generation of professionals whose primary skill is telling you the response they got from ChatGPT. 🤦🏾‍♂️

People are overthinking this. This is just Trump demanding bribes from insurance companies. No more, no less. He’s not thinking about policy, he’s running a protection racket and insurance companies aren’t paying up enough.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Working late on a Friday night to starve children

Sandwich man leaving court

Apropos of nothing, this week on the podcast we watched a movie in which judges who aided a fascist regime get put on trial after the regime is toppled

This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

legitimately means so much to me that in an era where so many politicians are trying to present trans people as a losing issue no longer worth supporting, a candidate who has been vocally pro-trans his entire campaign wins

“Obama is a generational speaker.” Yeah well, new generation baby.

this guy stopped posting after the primary but i’m still going to run another victory lap around him. get fucked loser

They should make Cuomo do this on the way out.

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Rest in piss Cuomo.

if you ever say “vote blue no matter who” to me ever again i will punch you in the fucking eye

People act like all conservatives are the same when the movement has a ton of diverse intellectual traditions. For example: Bryan Johnson who measures the size of his son’s erections for technofascist reasons Mike Johnson measures how often his son gets an erection for christofascist reasons

idk if you used to think about how you and others wouldve acted in the era of nazi germany but its been pretty revealing seeing people unprompted beg to surrender to fascists objectively leagues more pathetic than the nazis

Cuomo’s final pitch to voters:

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. Or a social media app. She was murdered in cold blood with knives plunged into her 28 times by two 15-year-olds fed a constant stream of hate and dehumanization by UK corporate media and the UK government.

This is the first year that I was able to listen to this on release! It's really good and has also reminded me that there are so many other podcasts I need to check out.
