John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.
It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.
Maine voter asked about Platner: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record"
@CHSommers@CaitlinPacific@nytopinion imo this is why it's a good movie! gets to the narcissism in contemporary radical politics and the actual evil in contemporary reactionary politics!
Israel is a terror state that revels in slaughtering children and stealing land. What more is there to say?
Our alliance with Israeli genociders is a stain on the U.S. and nothing brings me more shame than to live under a government that supports modern-day Nazis.
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.
I criticized Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a thousand times. He was oppressing his own people and preventing democracy. But there’s one thing you can’t take away from him, he died on his own two feet, instead of kneeling to Israel. That took courage. He didn’t bow.
A man who has never seen war and never will, cheering this on from a comfortable perch in Washington.
Every Senator who fails to stop this war should lose their seat, starting with @SenSusanCollins and @SenFettermanPA.
“congress’ diminishing role” is becoming the ultimate dumb guy take. It’s simple: leadership from both parties supports attacking Iran but 80% of Americans oppose it so this is reconciled w/ feigned helplessness while Trump does their dirty work. It’s about plausible deniability
The tech oligarchs have told us outright the purpose of these AI datacenters is to build AI to make every human worker jobless and they publicly state the AI they’re trying to build has a significant risk of killing every single person alive.
Why should any community let such a project have one single drop of water? Would you have given the Nazis a single drop of gasoline?
I was disappointed in GOODFELLAS, and I thought CAPE FEAR was just a terrible mistake. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is really Merchant Ivory terrain. Even though Scorsese shows what he can do with it in some ways, he doesn't shape the material. I thought the movie disintegrated. (1994)
@walterkirn If things in AI were really that imminent, important people would be acting differently.
Like I'd expect the apocalyptic freak-out in Bowie's "Five Years"!
