Do… do some people never watch the news or read an article? Bro, we are doing the opposite of that right now.

I think we should empathize with Will Stancil because it can't be easy to be both a narcissistic asshole and have a humiliation fetish

Antisemitism is definitely a problem. But an increase? If anything, the number of Jewish antizionists leading the charge for Palestinian rights has educated people about the difference between Judaism and Zionism. The situation is getting worse for the people conflating them. That’s a good thing.

*You’re* getting tired? This article is about horrifying shit that Biden funded, and you think this proves that we were all wrong not to vote for the same damn party? We’re getting tired of pleading with you people to care about a slaughter. If you did, you’d actually inform yourselves.

Sorry, just to be clear: Your issue isn’t with the slaughter, it’s about how the real estate gets dealt with post-slaughter?

Are these people living with a perpetual fcuking gas leak?

“It’s like you enjoy losing!” No, I very much hate losing, so could we please stop repeating historical failures like it’s our job?

I was going to say something about the failures of DSA strategy re:democrats. But judging by the replies I think the biggest failure of the Usian socialist movement is how many of its own supporters think socialism = government doing something.

The longer I am a parent, the more I am struck by how many Italian / Italian-American parents want a medal for doing the bare fucking minimum. Like, “Okay, I physically and emotionally abused you, but I gave you food and shelter… and love!” Oh my god, go to absolute hell.

Nope. Fox News spun it as a Trump win. “4-D chess,” I believe they said.

No no no no no. He sacrificed everyone just by normalizing this psycho. He shook hands with him. He smiled. He said they should work together toward a “common goal.” He didn’t call him a fascist like some people are saying. Trump gave him permission to do it. You have to hold people accountable.

post leftist intercept comment section types are just so eager to buy into the delusion that fascism can be negotiated with Trump is shallow and was briefly charmed by a charismatic man, by tomorrow he'll be threatening to nuke woke daycare centers again there is no coalition with fascism

Mamdani opposing the primarying of that piece of shit Jeffries is just one of many reasons he is NOT a socialist.

A group of Israeli settler fascists attacked Palestinians in village of Kherbat Al Markaz in Masafer Yatta, southern Hebron, last night. A number of injuries among the residents were reported. This is who Israel is. And they keep saying it. www.instagram.com/reel/DRTzjyH...

I was off Bsky for a while, I come back, and they fucking banned Link?

EVERYONE: just ban Jesse Singal, free Link, and free Gwen Pepperoni BLUESKY: we heard your pleas, so WHAT IF YOU COULD IMPORT JESSE SINGAL’S INFORMATION INTO YOUR CONTACT LIST

a helpful guide to bsky moderation: Johnny Cash lyrics: - 🚫 - bad - very threatening - dangerous rhetoric very scary - bannable "Enjoy the camps": - ✅ - actually good - not threatening at all - definitely not intimidation predominantly used on minorities - not bannable

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.

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.”

Anas was one of Gaza’s most fearless journalists. For nearly two years, he reported from the center of the genocide, showing the world what was being done to his people. He lived his whole life under occupation. Another voice erased by a Western-backed genocide that does not want witnesses.

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
