this kind of smarmy, self centered bullshit is the reason she lost and democrats in similar positions would do well to avoid this attitude completely going forward
politicians work to serve us, not themselves
The left has some good ideas, but they can't win elections outside small deep-blue districts. Okay, they can defeat a political dynasty in a mayoral primary, but they'll never get a mandate in a city-wide election. Sure, they got a mandate, but that's in New York City. It's not like they'll win in the New Jersey suburbs. Looks like the left won in the New Jersey suburbs, but they can't win state-wide races in purple states. Okay, they defeated the sitting Maine governor, but it's not like they can win...
Good reminder that if Dems had won the house, they would be in the minority because so many of members keep dying of old age. But if you point this out it’s because you hate old people
When Lina Khan ran the FTC, she spotted this *exact* scenario and launched an investigation
The very first thing Trump’s FTC Chair did when he took over was kill it
The fact that America’s goals went from “the complete destruction of Iran’s military power or even regime change” to “reopen a trade route that was open a month ago” doesn’t say great things about American power
If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
Like there's no amount of making fun of this that could ever be worse or more insane than this. I genuinely watch this and marvel at whatever the hell the thought process was here
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
Young people illegally being offered up as sacrificial lambs by a decaying, senile fascist to quench the bloodthirst of a small minority of sociopathic war hawks.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
