It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

No shit. That, as they say, is the joke. Are there still people on the planet who don’t know the Onion is satire?

The Onion just gave my people a shoutout:

Please be careful posting unverified tips like this. It creates so much fear!

I have good news for sensitive NYC liberals and bad news for social democrats. Mamdani’s “transition team” has a lot of the exact same people as that of Adams and De Blasio. apnews.com/article/zohr...

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

The “ceasefire,” which we all knew would last *minutes* The USA and Israel won’t be happy until they’ve put a Disneyland, some Cracker Barrels, and a dozen Trump hotels along the Gaza Strip…once there’s nobody left to protect their homes.

Dude’s basically saying we won’t need mass movements if we have one DSA member at City Hall. Never heard anything less socialist from a “socialist” in my life.

That debate wasn't fair, Mamdani took Cuomo out from the beginning and kept on brilliantly hitting.

Here are the problems with Mamdani (in addition to trying to reform a capitalist party): 1) He’s apologizing for saying cops are racist, basically saying he was a misguided youth. Saying he wants to help cops “do their jobs.” 2) arguably the worst, least socialist thing he said: “I will be too (1/2)

"Baby in her placenta"

@amberruffin.bsky.social as a guest on Past Times / @thedollop.bsky.social would be the best thing in the universe. I know you’re busy af, Amber, but oh my god it would be AMAZING.

We tend to forget about this. But it really, really, really matters.

as far as explaining gender to kids, "some people switch from boy to girl or boy to girl or whatever" is like a hundred times easier than explaining that we saw their teacher at the grocery store because she does not live at the school

As a sidebar, both the claim that 'bernie bros lost 2016 for the dems' and 'pro-Palestinians lost 2024 for the Dems' are bullshit the moment you actually look at, like, *any* exit poll, but it's become an object of faith among weird centrists who think that Dems just need to get a bit more bigoted.

The Coast Guard works for ICE now. Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI. My exclusive for Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Funny how it’s always too far from an election or too close to one to criticize right wing democrats

Counterpoint: no it doesn’t you fuckin moron

To the person in the group who got bitten by the zombie and is hiding it: just go off somewhere by yourself man. Things are very stressful and it's doubtful they're going to come up with a cure for zombieism in the next 20 minutes

Ahem. So just to clarify: 400 pilots who bombed Gaza are marching to demand that they not have to keep killing Gazans… but they’ll totes keep doing it if they, you know, *have* to? Got it. Thanks.

Utter fucking bullshit. Way to broadcast that you have never met, spoken to, or even listened to, a Palestinian person in your life. Or even have the faintest clue what the two-state solution even MEANS.

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

"Journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh were killed along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal in targeted Israeli strike on tent housing journalists in Gaza City." Israel has killed over 232 Gaza journalists in the deadliest conflict for journalists in 21st century.

Israel has reportedly bombed the family house of journalist Motasem Dalloul ( @gazajournalist.bsky.social) in Gaza twice today, 2nd time when rescue was ongoing. Israel had already killed his wife & 2 of his sons during the genocide & wounded him critically during the Great Return March in 2018.

“Recognizing the State of Palestine” and stopping there is basically saying, “Guess what? Now you have the recognized right to starve right where you are.”

Antony Loewenstein: Israel has killed more journalists in the last 22 months than were killed in the US civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

If I was defending mass arrests of pensioners for holding a sign, the first thing I'd do is invite a comparison to the IRA

my loathsome servants seem unhappy with their allotment of crumbs and keep sprouting visible thought bubbles of me trussed up like a glistening ham

Unreal. Awdah Hathaleen, who worked on the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land,” filmed himself being killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levi. Levi was freed from house arrest because the judge said there was no “causal connection” between him shooting & Awdah’s death.

BSKY QUESTION: If I have someone blocked or they blocked me, they can’t comment on my post, right? So how does this happen on my own post? (Sows up as having one comment, but I can’t see it.)

marrying the person you love & not being racist is hamas

Sorry. I wanted to show a picture of Steve with this one, but I can't find him.

Well, Palestinian friends, bear with us, because we know our struggles don't compare to yours, but sometimes they do still impede our ability to help quickly, but thank you for your patience.

Mine is that capitalism has slaughtered more innocent people than socialism or communism—even in the iterations of them that are actually neither—so it’s really stupid to ever, ever defend (or even tolerate) capitalism. We outnumber these assholes that kill us both fast and slow.

wait but why do i have to behave or whatever? also, slurs as insults is lazy; “bitchmade pissbabies” goes harder & is right fucking there. you gotta get better at being mean if you’re trying to hurt my feelings my dude.

Fucking high and mighty conservatives who want to use the label "liberal" are gross pieces of garbage. Being against genocide is the lowest bar to clear and here you are looking subhuman.

Israel literally armed the genocide in Myanmar. WTF are you people even talking about?

But, you know Schrodinger's "American Left," and all. Simultaneously small enough that Dems refuse to grant us any concessions, but large enough that we cost the Dems elections.

The middle road between all people should have rights and no people should have rights, is some people should have rights and some should not. That is not a choice I’m willing to make because I have strong convictions.

It is one of the “to bring which people together?” kind of question is asked. It is much like the “states’ rights to do what?” The answer is of course fascists on one side and their targets on the other.

By “not progressive enough,” you mean refusing to stop funding genocide, right? (And save me “Trump’s just as bad on Gaza.” He doesn’t have any opportunity to be worse on Gaza because the DP leveled it.) If genocide isn’t your bar, I don’t know what is. And what are is the DP even doing right now?

If you're still a Dem and surrender your vote to them every election after they've proven that they will throw everyone under the bus and support genocide, don't pretend to be surprised when they start yelling at you to support Newsom or Buttigieg. You're enabling this. You have a choice.

And the award for the most tellingly insufferably liberal account name goes to: (This joker says they “fight for union rights,” but clearly knows literally *nothing* about how unions have GOT ANY since the 19th Century. The stupidity is staggering.)
