The Bad Side

A group in New York City

[Arlen Parsa @arlenparsa]

Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer

Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer

We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.

[Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan]

I find the idea of “bread and butter issues,” which is almost always employed pejoratively on the left, extremely pernicious. A paramilitary occupation of your city IS a material issue! It’s not symbolic politics! It directly affects your entire life

[Edward Ongweso Jr @bigblackjacobin]

white boy *SHOCKS* everyone, makes an argument in perfect Nonsense

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

The main character of this 'story' is a Walmart and FedEx lobbyist complaining Mamdani denied her access. Good.

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

“Genocide inversion”—possibly the most fascist phrase ever

[Dr. Logan Levkoff @LoganLevkoff]

Hey Claire. NYer here who doesn’t appreciate your genocide inversion or antisemitism. Khalil needs to go. He’s not a New Yorker. He’s a bigot who terrorized Jewish students. You don’t speak for NYers.

@gabrielwinant !

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

Someday—in utopia—we will be able to have a lucid conversation about the neurotic social symptom that is the black political establishment

[Emily Ngo @emilyngo]

None of Mamdani’s Deputy Mayors Are Black. It Has Become a Problem. https://t.co/8cA962C4zE via @JeffCMays @nytimes

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

Wow the NYT has actually contracted rabies

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

You’re all so fucking insane

[Shadi Hamid @shadihamid]

The end of peak woke can be dated to October 7, 2023. That's the day that Gaza began replacing "wokeness" as the primary litmus test for progressives.

When you guys groan that “woke is back” you don’t seem intelligently aloof from the culture war. You sound like its most horrific intellectual casualty 😂

[Long-Haul @longhaul_mag]

Excerpts and translations on the Palestinian working class during the First Intifada

Seeing lefty podcast pundits do film criticism has been an apocalyptic experience

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

Please stop describing someone or something as “not above criticism.” Yes. We know. This is the most criticism-prone epoch in human history, a veritable golden age of complaints. In fact, you are reading this on an app that single-handedly revolutionized grievance technology

[marxist javier bardem @noclassTraitor]

It’s like the tendencies most obsessed with opsec don’t understand what that entails

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

Significant labor support for this call for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to stop the federal assault. Backers include ATU 1005, SEIU 26, UNITE HERE 17, SPFE, and organizers tell me more unions are expected to join. "No work, no school, no shopping" https://t.co/550SyQ2G9e

[The Bad Side @_thebadside]

Haven’t seen OBAA but why did you guys pay to see what looks like a bunch of hypercontemporary racial neuroses slapped on top of an extended, if affectionate, travesty of revolutionary subjectivity….You’re literally already on X

[wendy trevino @prolpo]

"A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department."

We desperately need to find a political way out of the fucked up “do you condemn” trap contrived by hardcore anti-Palestinian media. But if you realllly think it’s this easy you have a comically simplistic picture of politics

[The Last Farm @TheLastFarm]

As if this isn’t an option:

“People say all kinds of things at protests everyday, it’s a free country. I’m the Mayor, I’m not going to respond to everything people say on the streets of New York City because I’m too busy making this city affordable and livable for all.”
