MLK was asking for socialist policies, so was Fred Hampton and Jesse Jackson. Yet so many black people love to use them for Black History vibes, but vote for Black Candidates that are following the WHITE MODERATE playbook.

How did yall allow white people to turn yall against the politics of socialism.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Dear World,

Americans overwhelmingly do not support going to war. In 2024, we voted to end foreign wars and regime change.

Americans want affordable health, home, and auto insurance and good healthcare.

Americans want rich powerful pedos and rapists strung up on gallows, even if it collapses our own government. They’ve also said wood chippers. (Literally quoting them)

Americans want a good paying job and to be able to buy a nice home.

Americans just want good trade deals and world peace, and we love to travel to many of your lovely countries.

I just thought someone should tell you outside of our ruling class.

The mayor inherited Adams’ insane deficit.

Hochul, who smartly got behind the mayor, has the ability to close the budget gap by raising taxes on the ultra rich. If the gov refuses, NYC has to raise property taxes.

Hochul needs to listen to working families and tax the rich.

Good.

The NYT just did a focus group of Democrats, and this is what they had to say about their own party:

We need to recognize this as an epic once-in-generation run right here — a truly hall of fame level effort to be wrong about everything. The commitment and the steadfast consistency are genuinely breathtaking.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

[Lindsay Ballant @lindsayballant]

Douthat chose to cover Venezuela by interviewing Elliott Abrams, convicted for his role in Iran Contra and known for covering up massacres and supporting authoritarian regimes. That's who he felt we should listen to instead of a reporter who exposed crimes of the U.S. military.

This seems incredibly embarrassing for the @nytimes or rather, it should be.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

@DouthatNYT Well, there’s public interest now so why don’t you release it?

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This is right. And it's not a coincidence that Epstein enters this scene with Iran-Contra, the scandal that helped build the shadow global networks that would ultimately erode and replace democratic institutions

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

I'll never forgive the centrist democrats who forced Joe Biden on the Country even as 70% of Democrats consistently said he was too old.

I'll never forgive the Super Delegates who pledged for Hillary Clinton before the first primary vote was tallied. You fools gave us Trump.

So bleak

[laura Smith @lauraSmITH0ff]

One part of the experience of growing older, for me at least, is that you learn each year about how the people who actually run the world are even more evil than you previously understood.

Youthful optimism and naïveté puts a rosy veil over the truth. Aging tears the veil.

I hate doing this, by the way. If it were up to me I'd have just let Australia grieve a horrific attack without spending days going "Actually this doesn't mean you get to take away our rights and silence Israel's critics." It's not my fault that the worst people in the world opportunistically seized on this moment to shove through pre-existing agendas aimed at stomping out criticism of Israel and quashing anti-genocide protests in my country.

I didn't ask for this. They did. They're the ones who made this political. It could have just been about two ISIS guys doing a terrible thing. They could have proved me wrong when I said the attack "will be used as an excuse to target pro-Palestine activists and further outlaw criticism of Israel in Australia." Everyone could have just focused on mourning the victims, and I would have looked like a jerk. Instead they proved me 100 percent correct, and I've had to spend all my time getting shrieked at by profoundly evil genocide apologists who are pretending to believe pro-Palestine protests caused the attack in order to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.

Does it look like I enjoy this shit? Because I don't. I fucking hate it. And I hate that they're making it necessary for me to do, because the alternative to speaking out now is voluntarily losing my voice forever.

They made this. This is on them.
