Dems can’t claim to champion a multiracial democracy in the U.S. while defending an Israeli system built on ethnic hierarchy, @emmavigeland.bsky.social says: “The two-state solution fiction is just something that buys time here and still undercuts the idea that multiculturalism is a strength...

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

I think Dems can and should do better than people who are abusive to their staff members

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs. By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

Enjoyed talking about the Bari Weiss takeover of CBS on The Majority Report with @samseder.bsky.social and @emmavigeland.bsky.social this afternoon!

Skye Valadez is allegedly the name of a trans woman 4chan mistakenly identified as the shooter yesterday. You could bet on her being arrested on websites like polymarket and Kalshi. Unspeakably evil and rotten shit happening in this country

Probably nothing!!!!!!

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

EXCLUSIVE: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing on World Cup tickets. His petition “Game Over Greed” also demands that FIFA reinstates a cap on ticket resales and sets aside 15 percent of tickets for local residents at a discount.

*NY FED: JOB-FINDING MEASURE AT LOWEST IN DATA BACK TO 2013 *NY FED: ONE-YEAR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS RISE TO 3.2% VS 3.09% *NY FED: 5Y CONSUMER INFLATION EXPECTATIONS UNCHANGED AT 2.9% *NY FED: 3Y CONSUMER INFLATION EXPECTATIONS UNCHANGED AT 3%

the funniest thing would be if he was actually fine but only until 1:59pm

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.

"The federal government plans to hire private companies to use artificial intelligence to determine whether patients would be covered for some procedures, like certain spine surgeries or steroid injections." More financial incentive to deny claims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...

Trump taking Intel's CHIPS grant money, allocated for manufacturing and research, and converting it to an equity stake, no strings attached, is the opposite of "socialism" or whatever centrist pundits are vomiting out. It's a $9 billion giveaway to prop up their failing stock.

METLIFE: “.. The share of unemployed Americans who have been unemployed for more than 15 weeks has passed 40%. .. the highest share since just after the pandemic .. “.. there is a group that is having an increasingly difficult time the longer they stay unemployed.”

I went on @allinwithchris.bsky.social last night, guest-hosted by @velshi.com, and spoke about why Democrats need a change in House and Senate leadership

OK guys I'm an Elizabeth Warren fan now See how easy that was

If it's "up to Israel," how about we cut off their weapons and let them decide their own fate, you disgusting genocidal pig?

The Washington Post continues to do real reporting on the genocide, a stark contrast to the blood-soaked NY Times. Rare Western coverage of how Israel is funding a militia led by Yasser Abu Shabab, which then steals aid so they can blame it on Hamas ⬇️ www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

Trump portrays himself as both the strongman and perpetual victim, a trope in fascist regimes. But it's bizarre to see it mirrored in the rise of manboy podcast bros who abdicate all civic responsibility for money, and then try the "aw shucks, we'll do better next time" defense.

The amount of handholding that liberal Zionists require to be led to a place of basic humanity towards Palestinians, beyond the "it's awful" handwave, only to retreat to a belief in an ethnostate maintained by force, is a Sisyphean exercise enabled by privilege and whiteness.

Hmm...

An explicitly pro-big Pharma action. Preventive care is the best way to avoid the worst health outcomes and future high costs, and RFK Jr is gutting the panel responsible for determining preventive services that insurers must cover because of, uh, "woke." www.axios.com/2025/07/28/k...

The Trump regime wants to force a sale of TikTok to Oracle (the Ellison family, who just bought CBS) so they can use it for information warfare and right wing propaganda. The "national security" stuff is a complete front, but you'd be hard pressed understanding any of this from media coverage.

Gaza is at a stage of irreversible famine, when bodies start consuming their organs. Even if they were fed today, many are past the point of absorbing nutrients. Israel has already been suppressing the true death toll, but we're at an inflection point. This means MASS GRAVES.

Absolutely horrific. Gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero describes horrific sexual & physical abuse at CECOT in El Salvador

Trump is taking on the "deep state" by dumping endless COINTELPRO blackmail records about Martin Luther King Jr, to the glee of white supremacists, while covering up pedophilic blackmail records, also likely an intelligence operation, that he and his buddies are implicated in.

Trump dumping COINTELPRO material on MLK is beyond parody.

It’s worth noting that the most recent change to mandatory detention law took place in January of this year with the passage of the Laken Riley Act, which dozens of Democrats supported. This policy dating back to the 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Act meant that immigrants with certain crimes could be denied

"The US is on track to have the largest one-year drop in murder ever recorded for the third straight year in 2025." - NYC, Philly, San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit, etc, had the lowest murder rate since the 60s - Violent crime is down 11% vs last year, property crime down 12%

This will only fuel the MAGA demands for the full release of everything. Such a shame.

WSJ has a serious investigative news desk bc their non-opinion stuff has to reliably inform people in the business/finance worlds of the social conditions that will shape the economy. the NYT politics desk and senior leadership, otoh, seem to have decided their core mission is to discipline the left
