New York University constructing a border around sites of popular support for anti-Zionism. All the walls will fall, free Palestine, end the genocide of Gaza, and may the students be victorious
Likewise, every missile launched by the US/Israel should be clearly filmed up close on impact & aired live so we can see the uncensored brutality of their effects. How else can we be honest about Anduril and the tech corp’s monopoly on violence hidden behind the same curtain?
I am getting lots of incoming questions about the public execution of Nidal Hasan, mostly because I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.
My position is simple: Executions should be public and brutal, not private and medicalized. They are the ultimate example of the state's monopoly on violence, and the only way to keep that from running out of control is to confront voters with the trade they have made every single time, that they might have appropiate confidence or revulsion in the institution.
This is not new thinking. George Washington thought the same. The way we have shifted from hanging to firing squads to doctors quietly injecting chemicals that send our worst gently off to sleep is awful and dystopian, a total short-circuiting of important feedback mechanisms. It makes needless executions more likely, not less so. People who demean this as barbaric or yucky miss the whole point. It doesn't somehow become torture or inhumane (as the UN is suddenly claiming) just because we decline to hide the act behind a curtain.
And then there are those who suggest any revel in the death of those who truly deserve it is an indicator of a broken or diseased mind. To the contrary. It is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order. That it has not been done here in 60 years is an indictment in and of itself.
And that is without even getting into the fact that men were not hung for stealing horse, but that horses may not be stolen.
"I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build his greatness upon his Country’s ruin."
- George Washington, 1778
@WordMercenary They are trying to make any criticism of Israel toxic and using Piker as a proxy to send a message that if you try and speak out against our tax dollars funding genocide and apartheid, you’ll be made a pariah too
@JordanUhl@TrackAIPAC It shouldn’t be surprising to note that she’s a Zionist who was recognized by Hadassah, a Zionist organization, for her advocacy for Israel.
@hasanthehun All the chuds trying to defend his words are like, “he didn’t actually say we need to shoot children, what he meant was [reiterates the need to shoot children]”
Are we talking about cancel culture? 😎 Because here's what I'll actually cancel as governor:
❌AI data centers
❌billionaire tax cuts
❌@TomTiffanyWI's election hopes
And while we’re at it, MAGA extremist Tiffany wants to cancel:
❌elections
❌union contracts
❌reproductive freedom
@Generalvondeath@socialistadri she can't be 'used' by Hasan because she doesn't work for him; she's voluntarily choosing to clip his streams out of solidarity to spread class consciousness.
Imagine seeing this incredibly positive dynamic where your party is getting energy, attention and outsider status that voters are craving without any baggage and thinking, “how can we stop this?” Centrists are just Republicans at this point.

@ShaneGoldmacher If democratic socialism was such an electability risk, it wouldn’t keep winning! simple as that. Third Way would rather keep losing on a “better things aren’t possible” agenda.
@adeebhafeez16@AbdulElSayed The more you give in to reacting against bad faith lines of attack, the weaker you look and the less you focus on campaign message. It makes more sense to condemn how our tax dollars are being spent to support Israel and in a war of choice against Iran rather than here at home.
@lili_shtupp If that’s all they have to run on, rather than how they are going to make life more affordable for working class Americans struggling with gas, grocery prices, healthcare and paying for pointless wars, good luck to them.
Congratulations to Donavan McKinney (@DonavanMI13) on winning his congressional primary, unseating a millionaire AIPAC stooge! Donavan is a former union member fighting to get money out of politics, a green new deal, and union jobs. @detroitdsa
@lord__mike@DevilsAdvocateC@socialistadri@hasanthehun Abdul has always been welcoming, centered the needs of Michiganders and only attacked corporate money in politics. It sounds more like your Hasan Derangement Syndrome is causing you to mix the two up.
@naaycoqui That’s a silly personal grievance of a hill to die on, nor is it necessary in order for him to win, as the median voter who isn’t terminally online doesn’t even know who Hasan is. It just sounds like your way of saying you don’t actually want AES to win or want a senate majority.
