Moreno taking forever to speak out against the man abusing his daughter + granddaughter because he was worried about being blackmailed for cheating on his wife with men is the most Republican scandal I can think of. It’s like they made it in a lab!!
Vance's appeal to racism shows how bigotry is the unifying principle of the MAGA GOP. There is no other mechanism that these people value more for holding together the new right. It's saying, "Sure, life is worse, but do you want some nonwhite guy with a foreign-sounding name in charge? I didn't think so." That's it. No promise of competence. No plan to build a better future. All they have is appealing to the very worst aspects of human nature and fearmongering.
It’s unbelievable how astroturfed her support is. Totally inauthentic at every level, not a single person involved actually likes her. A grim reminder of what democracy will look like under total capital control
Mamdani, ever conscious of his role as a leader and in legitimizing the broader democratic socialist movement, is setting the standard for 2028 Democratic presidential candidates by flatly declaring that the federal government has the authority to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.
At this point, the literature of Israel’s genocide is so extensive that the burden of proof is on those trying to say they *didn’t* commit a genocide
Just read the Btselem Report my goodness
Israel has never been more accepted internationally than it was before October 7th, 2023; nations like Sudan, the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco had recognized Israel via the Abraham Accords and Saudi Arabia was seemingly just about to do so as well, the Palestinian Authority is nothing more than an Israeli asset at this point, and the UN Security Council did not present a resolution condemning Israel between 2016 and 2023. Bhutan, Bahrain, Bolivia, Chad, Guinea, Kosovo, Nicaragua, and Turkey had all recognized or re-recognized Israel within the last decade. The USA, Guatemala, Honduras, Czechia, Hungary, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Kosovo and Paraguay all had official embassies in Jerusalem. South Korea had just signed Israel’s first trade agreement with an East Asian country, and even Hamas had changed its charter to accept the “idea of a two state solution”.
What did this situation bring? The most right-wing government in Israeli history, and the rise of figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. There is no correlation between non-recognition of Israel and Israeli extremism. Perhaps Israelis have agency, Adam
I just hope that people stop with the stupid charade about water usage and honestly state that the reason they oppose building data centers is because AI is evil. The correct position
I handle comms for Lina Khan. I'm the one who declined this invitation in May because she's on maternity leave. Here's the receipt.
And it wasn't a debate. The show's pitch was 'opposite sides finding common ground'
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Conservatives: If you stand in front of a car it should be allowed to run you over
Also conservatives: If an unidentified agent of the state stands in front of your car, he should be allowed to shoot you to death
Listen, I hate this proposal, but it is galling to see popularist types respond so negatively to this when it’s clearly popular boomerslop. Meanwhile they’re like “anti trans politics? Anti immigrant? Well, you gotta break a few eggs!”
Gives the game away a bit.
