AIPAC will likely claim IL-09 as a limited victory but I think it's important to note that he was endorsed by Elizabeth Warren, Greg Casar, Pramila Jayapal, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and he vowed to block offensive arms to Israel if elected.

Sometimes I cry at how effective conservative propaganda is

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I genuinely don't grok the strong pro-unification position. Yes, Ireland's past split was unjust. Yes, they're a similar ethnicity. Why does that override democratic self-rule? If the majority of NI don't want unification (and they don't), why should it be imposed on them?

People of Illinois: We have same-day voter registration! If you bring proof of address (a piece of mail with your name and address on it), you can register to vote TODAY and then vote TODAY. More info below! Please do it! (And please vote for Kat!)

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

When fascist pundits like Walsh demand a "crackdown" on "leftist extremists", they mean YOU. America has no organized terrorist left. There's nothing to crackdown on! Except people like you. Progressives & socialists. They want to justify censoring YOU and imprisoning YOU.

Greg Bovino accepting his retirement:

The NYT phrasing here kills me. Ehrlich's population Malthusianism wasn't "eugenicist" or "wrong" or "obliterated by the Green Revolution". His "predictions" were just "premature".

This graph is compelling but fake. The numbers are impossible. The top 10% gets under 40% of post-tax income. They save at higher rates. They CANNOT make up ~50% of consumption. Moody's uses an idiotic calculation to obtain this #. In reality, the top 10% gets ~30% of consumption. Still unjust!

We really need to kill Woke 1 Over 6k likes, on a communist account, for "Palestinian people cannot be anti-Jewish bigots" The most popular Nazi in America is a gay Latinx! Identity is no shield!

South Lebanon is under threat of total ethnic cleansing

You can't win with the Billionaire-Occupied Media. If Zohran makes hard demands for social democracy: "Ruthless operator throws sharp elbows to advance his brand" If Zohran works the inside game & collaborates: "Floundering Zohran appeals to mainstream Democrats for support"

I do not regret to inform you: We are going to win.

Representative Tlaib’s endorsement means so much to me personally. She’s set a true example for what it means to be deeply rooted in transformative progressive values that never compromise. I hope to join her in 2027 as the only other currently elected Palestinian in Congress!

🚨 2 DAYS 🚨 Two days left. This is all hands on deck. Phone bank, knock doors, or join our volunteer Discord.

Yup. Smalls has always been an egoist focused on "betrayals". His union was so undemocratic that union members had to sue to oust him! Back in 2022, he made a HUGE stink about AOC. She supported the Amazon Labor Union, but hadn't (yet) marched with it, so she was a traitor. The NYPost loved him!

It's even dumber. Mamdani DID tweet about the pro-Palestine supply flotilla. He demanded their immediate release. But Mamdani didn't mention "Chris Smalls" by name, so it's a Betrayal Of The Movement. Egoist behavior.

which, you know, really suggests that the beltway press never gave the slightest shit about press freedom, Trump's violent rhetoric, or threats from his movement to their careers and persons

The Hitler Site keeps converting the dumbest "leftists" into anti-Jewish bigots. You see it in the words people use: Not "anti-Zionist", dividing oneself from the Israeli imperialist project. Now it's "goy", dividing oneself from Jewish people.

Wild that "no secret police, no war, no kings" -- the demand of ~every liberal movement since 1750 -- is now an offensive political slogan

It’s basically criminology 101 that arrest quotas destroy civil liberties

How many years did we have to hear about Benghazi, Hillary Clinton's crime against the American people? 1.5 minutes for six dead soldiers in Trump's idiotic war. We must destroy Billionaire Occupied Media.

We need to beat every center-leftist Dem with the Social Democracy Stick until they recite Broaden The Base, Raise The Rates in their sleep.

The Apartheid Defense League has done everything possible to tie Jewish people to Israel. Any criticism of Israel was anti-Jewish hatred. Israel is led by fascists. It commits genocide. It drags the US into endless wars. The ADL is partly responsible for the wave of anti-Jewish bigotry.

They can't help but say it: They want to control what the news says. We need to destroy the Billionaire Occupied Media.

I think a lot depends on how that admin behaves. if there is A Tribunal, they expropriate like a half dozen families, and above all shut down Twitter, it might break the radicalization spiral

Indicative planning & anti-shock stockpiles are good policy!

I feel like people don't understand how *scarce* the sources are for Historical Jesus. Yeshua from Nazareth probably existed. We know nada about Him. Why? Literally nobody except cult members wrote about Him for 70 years (!!) after He died, and non-cult authors say nothing about Him! From Ehrman:

"When has automation ever given workers more free time?" The past three centuries? We need to destroy "anti-capitalist" pastoralism. Long live Prometheus!

The NYTimes and WaPo are both Billionaire Occupied Media.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

Again: Religious fundamentalism is social insanity. "Russia is going to invade Israel because Trump bombed Iran. My holy book tells me so!" You are delusional!

This kind of thinking drives me nuts. Suppose everyone steals 10% of their food. Shrinkage goes from 0% to 10%. The food retailer just raises prices! 10% of your food is free. You pay 111% prices for the other 90%. Nobody is better off! It's not redistribution, it's just a new price level!

That's wrong.

Moderate Democrats embracing fuel subsidies (Z tier policy) and "no tax on incomes below $75k" (ZZZ tier policy). Slopulism is going to destroy this country. We're on the cusp of winning the largest Dem margins since 2008 and Dems are pre-folding on taxes. Christ.

"I am too stupid to oppose imperialist war and anti-Jewish bigotry at the same time." Second campism is a mind killer.

One reason I encourage leftists to follow 3-5 conservative accounts is to avoid this cloistered nonsense ~1/3 of Americans think homosexuality is immoral ~1/2 think transgender is immoral ~2/3 think trans youth shouldn't get any hormones We have not won the culture war! Not close! Keep fighting!

> Oil futures over $110

Second-campist American leftists are insanely gullible. Completely unable to see AI slop. They're the mirror image of gullible MAGA imperialists. I still see people sharing that obvious fake "US bombed F4 drawings" pic, where the planes are bigger than the buildings. Insane.

Degrowth Donald once again showing his leftist colors:

We need to destroy the billionaire-owned media apparatus.

"I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!"

The US is the world's most conservative rich country by massive margin. That's because Americans are way, way more religious than other rich countries. Spiritual delusions are constantly holding this country back.

Yeah. By some estimates, 25% to 35% of productivity growth since 1945 came from federal R&D alone. If you take those estimates seriously, then federal R&D (like the CHIPS bill) has a *negative* fiscal cost, because it raises output by several times what it costs. Refusing to fund R&D is braindead.

MAGA is a personalist cult. They tell you over and over again that Trump's word comes before reality. Social insanity.

We need to quadruple federal R&D. We could live in a world of miracles like these. We can push death back. Instead we buy bombs and ships to kill without reason.
