How is it “de-nazification” when the grandchildren of the Nazis are still some of the wealthiest people on the planet? It’s all just a scam.

Police in Senatobia, Mississippi, used tear gas on protesters outside a Walmart Tuesday night. Lauren Turman reports from outside the store, where people were protesting the shooting death by police of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

While researching my book on the Earth Liberation Front, I found a copy of an old VHS tape the ELF’s press office sent out encouraging people to form their own secret cells dedicated to the destruction of industrial capitalism.

Risking a ban, but posting here in its entirety.

Goes back to Lenin's 1921 banning of factions (Workers Opposition) supported by Trotsky & understood at the time as a temporary measure later codified under Stalin, whose methods (top down "dem cet", slate elections, etc) were brought into the Trotskyist movement by James Cannon

[Daniel Baryon @AnarkYouTube]

The reason why parties like the PSL and DSA seem like garbage while parties of the past seemed to have integrity and vision is because you were falsely informed about the parties of the past. Cult dynamics have always been at the root of aspiring vanguard parties.

[Alex Colston @enoughformethx]

We are supposed to tell the truth, right?

The truth is that the U.S. state—in its liberal and conservative expression—functions as a global and domestic police force in a directly oppressive and illegitimate way, often mirroring the very fascism people appear to oppose.

🇦🇪 The UAE, the chief external backer of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has quietly become one of the NBA’s most important international partners through deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Most visible is the New York Knicks’ direct sponsorship agreement with Abu Dhabi. Since 2024, the UAE capital’s tourism agency, Experience Abu Dhabi, has appeared on Knicks jerseys in a partnership reportedly worth about $30 million annually. The deal also includes branding throughout Madison Square Garden and international marketing rights tied to the Knicks brand.

The sponsorship is part of a much broader NBA-UAE relationship. Since 2021, Abu Dhabi has hosted annual NBA preseason games and become a hub for league marketing, youth programs, fan events and basketball development. In January 2026, the NBA and Abu Dhabi announced a long-term extension expected to be worth well over $300 million, including plans for an NBA Global Academy in the UAE capital.

Critics describe the relationship as classic sportswashing, pointing to the NBA’s role in helping improve the image of a government that is fueling one the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes — UAE’s militia in Sudan has been found to have committed genocide, and mass rapes and sexual violence in Darfur, including by the U.S. government.

No current @NBA player, and no @NYKnicks player, has publicly spoken out about the relationship, despite the NBA and the UAE’s complicity in the world’s largest humanitarian and hunger crisis. The NBA Finals begin June 3 with the New York Knicks taking on the San Antonio Spurs.

~Even when everything else points to the contrary, yet again this socialist has found a reason to support capital.~

[nicolás @workertenant]

Who's running the city, Zohran or Tisch? Did the socialist movement get someone into office or was it real estate and police?

[~ @LovDancSubvrt]

@gudcur1 @lmao_ist "increasing the flow of people into the core" that's what capital been doing already tho, why a position in favor of its affirmation, when it's a product of war and human climate change? Core and periphery are to be abolished, not affirmed.

[Nate Holdren @n_hold]

to maybe put too fine a point on it, worth noting NJ has a Dem trifecta - governor and both legislative houses, and Newark has a Dem mayor

[reliving labor notes 🌺 @kampongovan]

that nyc-dsa's 1st public rebuke of zohran is not in defense of the unhoused as they're forcefully removed, women enduring slavery, a kid shot by cops prosecuted for assault, but of our candidates pursuing his support is damning of our claim to be heirs of the socialist tradition

[انوس @anoosify]

Honestly, Mamdani and his PR team are incredibly savvy. They're doing exactly what they promised: rebuilding the people’s trust in government, but through perception first.

Take the Israeli parade. First, he announces he'll be skipping it. That dominates headlines and reinforces the image of a mayor willing to take a bold stand, even at political risk. People who were skeptical start questioning their skepticism because the move feels authentic and principled.

Then, after that positive perception takes hold, you get something like the video below. He still announces that he won't attend the parade himself, so he keeps the positive publicity. But at the same time, he says he'll send a member of his administration instead: Jessica Tisch, whom he chose to retain despite her family's well-known ties to Netanyahu.

Most people won't notice the distinction. A small number like myself will criticize it, but by then the mass deception has already been established. The public focus shifts from scrutinizing the contradiction to defending the image of a "principled mayor." The net result is growing support, deeper belief in the system, and no political cost for it.

This is the same pattern I saw with his pro-Palestinian messaging. "Free Palestine" goes viral, his supporters rally behind him, and his popularity grows. Then later, he starts saying in interviews that “Israel has a right to exist.”

When I called it out and challenged him directly, the base had already been manipulated into a loyal following built around a radical image of him. Only months later did my criticism start to go mainstream, but by then the cycle had already reset and repeated itself.

That's what makes the strategy so effective. The headline-grabbing position comes first. The nuance comes later. By the time people notice the difference, the public perception has already been set and he’s onto the next thing.

[Achmat Akkad @BlackIntifada]

It's important you understand that the men stealing Black people's deeds in New York attend the synagogues auctioning stolen land in the West Bank. There's a reason the politicians condemning these protest have largely remained silent on the deed theft epidemic in their districts

[~ @LovDancSubvrt]

Is really no one gonna say anything about Jessica Tisch being openly referred to here as someone who'll take out Mamdani. That's actually substantial and it's said right when the otherwise unremarkable clip ends.

[Erin Molan @Erin_Molan]

"He hates you. He wants you dead."

@sidrosenberg19 went scorched earth on Zohran Mamdani before a packed Jewish audience in Manhattan last night, over his refusal to attend Sunday's Israel Day Parade and asking, "Who wants a terrorist at the Israeli Day Parade?" 🔥

[madeline ⚧ 🇵🇸 @forces_at_work]

This talk yesterday by Phil Neel was pretty good on exactly these issues, of capitalism hitting a limit, without that necessarily being “apocalyptic”. Although we are hitting a limit with climate change, that always has to be factored in, too.

Lose the Loomer comment if you want. Less than 3 years ago, she was summoning the A•D•L to investigate BLM for “pro-Hamas” language. Her PR person is a Zio•nist. She intentionally seduced the wealthiest man on the planet. There are weird discrepancies as re her true age (basically unheard of in the 21st century save for people that are intel assets). After more than a decade intentionally using her body to try and ascend the ladder of RW culture warriordom and build an influencer career, she’s restyled as a liberal darling by spilling inane “secrets” simply because Musk is no longer infatuated with her and isn’t paying out the kind of life-altering child support she expected.

She’s an Islamophobe and an obviously astroturfed alt media figure POS. It’s common sense.

My biggest hot take is that franchises, multiverses, spin-offs, and needless sequels shouldn't exist. Settings should service the story, not the other way around. Star Wars *was* a basic hero tale, now it's nothing by way of being everything.

[hidari @kyovyn]

@TSoS_ My biggest Star Wars hot take is that it needs a hard reboot and to start the fuck over. Either that or have stories set so far in the future they have damn near nothing to do with the fucking horrible mess the current state of Star Wars has become.
