@SasonRoss @nccm the ‘anti Zionism is anti semitism’ viewpoint is actually fueling anti semitism…. If you want people to hate Jews, then the more Judaism, Jewishness, and Jews are associated with an out of control, genocidal, colonizer country the more people will become antisemitic…

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

@SasonRoss @nccm The point you seem to be missing is that saying this killing is due to anti zionists being mad that Israel is committing a genocide and that’s a problem, without saying actually the genocide is the problem…

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

@SasonRoss @nccm It’s actually wild to me that after a masters degree in public policy you still think anti Zionism and anti semitism are the same thing

Forgot I got salsa with my tacos

This is the correct journalistic tone

[John Ganz @lionel_trolling]

That is an insane admission

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?

I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

No excuses. Every single one of my Democratic colleagues should be voting against this bill that gives Trump and his incoming administration dictatorial powers to target nonprofit organizations as political enemies without due process.

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

It is absolutely wild that they are considering giving more power to the executive branch right now…. Is this a joke

[ACLU @ACLU]

Our coalition brings together over 120 diverse nonprofits to tell Congress: Giving the executive branch new power to silence dissent and dismantle civil society organizations isn't just bad policy — it's bad for democracy.

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

An astronomically bad take… like how quickly can you forget how disfunctional the repubs are when they have power bc of groups like the freedom caucus?!

[Jordan Klein @dodgersjordan]

Only democrats have to deal with taking abuse from both sides. There’s no equivalent conservative group that constantly runs interference against Republicans like socialists and leftists do to Dems

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The only thing I like about Trump is exactly what so many empire managers hate about him: he gives the game away. He says the quiet parts out loud. He's the only president who'll openly boast that US troops are in Syria taking the oil or lament that they failed to take the oil from Venezuela, or just come right out and tell everyone he's bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs.

Trump is the opposite of Obama, who was very skillful at putting a pretty face on the evil empire. Trump puts a very ugly face on a very ugly thing. He is a much more honest face to have on the empire. A crude, stupid plutocrat who is owned by other plutocrats is the perfect representative of that tyrannical power structure.

Meanwhile, public institutions and trust therein are eroded and sold off to be privatized. This is not unique to the US; it’s happened all over Europe and South America… but the difference is now the us might start to look more like all the countries the cia has intervened in

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

It’s crazy to me that so many people still think the Democratic Party wanted to win this election

[Michael @Socdem_Michael]

So Biden’s internal polling was showing something close to this map…

And they allowed him to run for re-election??

This is beyond irresponsible and selfish. All of these people should be exiled from Dem politics.

[Arthur Bledsoe @bledsoe_what]

Either way, the capitalist oligarchs win, those of us susceptible to the culture war propaganda keep hating immigrants and DEI and believing democrats are ruining the country, those who aren’t keep hating the people who voted for trump and thinking they are ruining the country

[Pelham @Resist_05]

This comment by U.S Spokesperson, Matthew Miller will be shown throughout history as how Israel was able to commit a genocide against Palestinians…

“ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO TARGET CIVILIANS”…🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

As we watch Palestinians being burned alive by Israel tonight, I remembered this interview with Israeli philosopher & professor, Yeshayu Liebowitz. I urge you to watch this full interview.

“That is your future prophecy.”
