@neilehopkins @docnoir_ I FELL TO MY KNEES AT THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRECRACKER SHRIMP, THAT SMELL WHICH TRANSPORTED ME TO THE EARLIEST HUMAN SETTLEMENTS BY THE SEA, FEASTING ON ITS BOUNTY, MANNA FROM THE DEPTHS, AND I TRULY THANKED GOD IT WAS FRIDAYS

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

In 2009, @VanJones68 was forced to "resign" from the Obama Admin after 6 months because Fox News and establishment Democrats denounced him as "the radical left": due to his prior support in the 1990s for Mumia Abu-Jamal, calling a GOP member an "asshole," allegedly signing a petition suggesting Bush did 9/11, etc. His glaring, oozing career ambitions lay in ruins as he was kicked out of decent DC power centers for transgressing too many ideological lines and comportmental rules.

That's when he realized that wealth and celebrity awaited him only if he were willing instead to transform himself into a vehement defender and guard of establishment dogma, a useful tool for those who had just struck him down.

So that's exactly what he did. He renounced his prior "radical" views, repeatedly apologized for his transgressions, became a stalwart, weepy advocate of deary DC media conventional wisdom, and began playing the new TV character his script required: the moderate, sensible liberal who just wants to bring everyone together in the safe, status-quo-perpetuating middle.

His real function: to begin every sentence with "I'm a progressive Democratic" -- the subtext: a black progressive Democrat! -- and then denounce the populist left (and populist right) for crossing the political and ideological lines that he was told to vigorously police and uphold: the lines which nobody is permitted to cross without being denounced and excluded the way he once was. "Look: they're too extreme even for Van Jones!" He was there to protect his establishment bosses by punishing the excesses of the "extremes on both sides": just as he had once been punished by them almost to the point of career destruction.

His service as the "black progressive policeman" for the DC establishment and its dual religious planks of corporatism and militarism were predictably very valuable to them, and very lucrative for him. He got larger and larger CNN contracts. Jeff Bezos gave him $100 million to hand out however he wanted. Jay-Z hired him to lead a new group, etc. etc. Book deals from large NYC publishing houses flowed in, etc. etc.

Since October, 2023, he saw the real opening, one that would catapult him upward even further into the top echelons of establishment servitude: turn himself into the most devoted "liberal media" loyalist to Israel, the most militant defender of Tel Aviv's reputation, as global support for that country collapsed. He dutifully wore his little yellow ribbon pin every day for years on TV as if it were tattooed onto him. He cackled with Bill Maher about how annoying it is to keep hearing all this whining about "dead babies in Gaza." With his patented fake TV tears in his eyes, he heralded Israel as our great ally, and talked about how worried he was for his beloved Jewish friends as anti-Semitism grew on the left and right.

Now he's here to boast that "leaders in both parties" called him this week to profusely thank him for his service to the bipartisan DC agenda. The once-wannabe radical has fully transformed into a prime media instrument for the establishment that once threatened to destroy him. Both parties are now grateful to him for defending their prerogatives and positions.

One thing is for sure: other than Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, nobody's future is brighter at CNN once Larry Ellison's son buys up Warner Brothers and CNN and puts Bari Weiss in charge with the sole mandate to turn the network into an even more vigorous Israeli propaganda network than CBS News has become.

The vitriol in her voice is disturbing.

“We gon sit this shit out, we gon undervote your ass Talarico.”

And then she says it IN THE FUCKING VIDEO that she *does not care* if Ken Paxton wins this race.

This rhetoric should have NO place in our party. Get the fuck out.

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

Yes, the DSA is quite clearly ratf*cking Dems right now. We're going into the midterms and we should be as consolidated as possible in order to defeat the fascistic threat. Instead we're having to deal with a small, but loud faction claiming we're the ultimate problem. Rat-f*ck.

The Black Detroiters Instagram page, followed by 165K people, just shared these images accusing “foreign lobbies and corporate interests” supporting U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens of misleading Black voters over the Obama ads.

The White House is openly declaring a global offensive against the “radical left” while seeking the extradition of Fergie Chambers, a pro-Palestine activist and philanthropist.

Any comment on this? @RoKhanna @AOC @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @SummerForPA @repdeliaramirez @USProgressives

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

establishment dems are fearful of the insurgent candidacies of abdul for MI senate & francesca hong for WI governor. they tell us, they fear these candidates will fail in purple states against republicans in the general. what rw dems actually fear is the success of insurgent left candidates especially in purple states. they fear that the voters are waking up to the reality that the actual electable candidates are the ones that will fight FOR something, not just put on a show against trump. insurgents that will center working class needs over corporate profits. this threatens the power of the corporate dems that have controlled the party for decades and allowed this country to be dominated by increasingly repulsive far right politics that brought us trump twice. we say no more!

Message for all of those progressive DSA punks all over my Twitter today over my concern for the Democratic party moving away from me. You are the same group who didn't vote, or engaged in protest votes, in the last election. You are the reason Kamala Harris lost. You are the reason we have Trump. You never did care about the party. You never cared about the work to reduce gun violence. You only cared about pushing the party away from Israel. Nothing else mattered to you and Trump is the result.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION NOW!!!

“He wanted to burn me alive,” recounted Yasser Saqer Rashid. The 92-year-old Palestinian American man was reading the Quran in al-Marah mosque in Deir Dibwan in the occupied West Bank when Jewish Israeli settlers began storming its courtyard on June 14.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Again for so many in our media the mass killing in Gaza 2023-present is a mere abstraction, a political thingamajig to be debated, a vaguely lamentable but ultimately boutique leftwing hang up rather than a real thing that actually happened in reality to real humans

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Israel and a democratic president slaughtered over 15,000 children in HD for 15 months straight and there’s a particular genre of pundit whose job is to act confused why a generational US war crime would come to define the first wave of primary fights after said mass slaughter.

[Sabby Sabs @SabbySabs2]

Letitia James should focus on deed theft in NYC. She’s the top cop in NY and she sits back while black elders homes are literally stolen from them.
