Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing survivors who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

Hindu Zionist posing as a white Christian nationalist having a bizarre feakout over the most anodyne video you can possibly imagine. 🥴

I think Elon Musk explicitly coming out against democracy should probably tell us something about the nature of extreme wealth.

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

The disgraceful AG that worked hand-in-glove with the Trump admin to up-charge college student anti-genocide campus protestors with felonies, before being embarrassed into dropping all charges because a Michigan judge was going to rule against her.

Mamdani: The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal. 

At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest. But time and again-including 250 years ago-those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.

And yet today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted-but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.

As we mark 250 years, what do we see? 

We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world— one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands —those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone —and we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.

El Salvador shows how A.I. and data infrastructure are expanding in countries with weak checks on power and a dependence on foreign tech firms. It also illustrates how A.I. can become intertwined with authoritarianism, writes @ricardovalp in #efOpinion. https://t.co/6FbcTZPMHx

A clean sweep for NYC progressives opposed to the US-funded Israeli genocide in Gaza.

You’d think this is a joke. It is not.

Cannot make this up. He says he canceled the program to feed children because they wouldn’t put the starving children on the phone with him. True sociopath

Hate has no place Uptown and in the Bronx, nor in our politics.

Tomorrow, we have a choice: keep the hateful politics of the past, or welcome a new day Uptown and in the Bronx.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.

On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.

This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Israel loyalists picked a bad day to feign outrage over Tucker Carlson's observation that key Israeli officials speak and think like pure Nazis, if not worse.

Just hours later, Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir posted this: text that makes Mein Kampf look bashful:

This is true. People were very chill. You could get chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs. Folks would feed you peas on a little spoon while making airplane noises. You could even dump a whole bowl of spaghetti on your head if you wanted. Totally fine. Not sure what happened.
