[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Almost everything you are hearing in mainstream news about the supposed lack of popularity of progressive policies on police and prisons is a lie. Shifting resources from police/punishment to social services is one of the most consistently popular policies polled for 40 years.

@ryangrim If it existed, Epstein’s friends wouldn’t be holding positions of power right now

[josh! @queersocialism]

what’s fascinating are the amount of people who do not see the parallels between those who made political careers off the murders of working-class black people during the blm decade and those currently using pro-palestine in a cynical bid to win elected office

"woke 1" was the closest the US polity came to acknowledging reality in a while. probably since the 60s.

its no wonder its being denigrated now.

In four years “Abolish ICE” is just going to be something crazzzzzyy that was said.

[Acyn @Acyn]

AOC: I have a local city councilman that has this saying: Woke 1 was crazy…. I think that during especially during covid, I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place. And I actually think that the discussions that had that were had in that time were quite fruitful. I think that when we talk about crime today, it's fundamentally different than the way that we talked about crime in bringing crime down. Right. And I think that we all share in the goals of having as low a crime rate as possible. I think that, you know, during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today. And I'm grateful that these candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to their electorate and what they're campaigning on in this moment

[arne ness @arne__ness]

could be wrong but i thought what “opened the doors” to a national discourse about defunding the police was a black man being murdered by the police in broad daylight

The Democrat Party - the party of slavery, Union busting, genocide, racist policies like Japanese internment camps and Crime Bill, neoliberal policies that destroyed communities, etc-Mamdani is a true lying liar Democrat.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Zohran Mamdani:

We’re not running away from the Democratic Party. We’re going back to what the party used to be.

You think about FDR and LaGuardia. You think about the New Deal. That’s what the Democratic Party once was. That’s what it could be again.

And if we want to win, I think that’s what we have to become.

@Mike_from_PA @retrogeneral Mike didn’t win his race for political office. Who is he to say who is good or bad at running for office? Never forget his support for Fetterman and Platner

@socialistadri @hasanthehun They are supporting him because he is not a threat to the status quo, hello?

I saw someone post about Threads. I watched. It was horrifying.

This is a petty post, no? It’s like these grown adults people treat DSA like a high school club or something.

[BlackRedGuard ☭ 🇵🇸🔻⛓️‍💥 @OGBlackRedGuard]

nobody I know from Seattle likes kshama sawant lol

[donaldparkinson🇵🇸🇨🇺 @donaldp1917]

Why isn’t it DSA people pushing stuff like this?

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

The role Muslim Americans have been & are playing in reviving the overseers of the genocide of Palestinians is something to marvel at.

El Sayed didn’t hesitate to endorse Harris when she was anointed the Democratic presidential candidate, he identifies as a capitalist and his Oct 7 statements have been abysmal - so of course Harris would endorse him.

'The People are Not One serves as a vital interjection into this struggle, and is a must read for any seriously committed militant today who seeks to have a vision of politics beyond the activists carousel of liberalism, and populism.'

Feel like we're living in a version of the subprime mortgage catastrophe, except the logic of the "subprime" (and its devaluation of values and inevitable collapse) is now inherent in absolutely everything.

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

Michelle treating George Bush like he's her favourite uncle, making sure there's always picture and video of them them giggling and sharing candy, is one of the slickest PR strategies ever pulled rehab to rehab a politician's image, and it's a racist genocidal war criminal.
