Public opinion turned against Israel so we’re seeing a full court institutional coup. ID requirements for internet usage, merger of U.S. and Israeli military. The committee to protect journalists declaring that Lebanese and Palestinians no longer count as journalists etc
Karl: Josh Gottheimer, a Democratic member of Congress, who says, “Many of us believe, as do I, if you’re a socialist, you are not a Democrat.” And in fact, they put out a manifesto today.
Mamdani: Sounds pretty socialist to me…. I'm not interested in writing a manifesto or frankly, in reading one. I'm interested in delivering. And that's exactly what we've been showing.
Buying rent stabilized property with the goal of lobbying the government to jack up working people’s rent is such scumbag behavior. Guy is already worth $100 billion but he wanted to put families out on the street to grab a few more crumbs. Sociopathic economic system
Its been lost to history at this point but the former WASP elite of the United States was highly sympathetic to the Arabs and this friendship persisted for many decades even amid the crackup over Israel and the Cold War. With the dissipation of those factors it seems like it returns to prior equilibrium.
"She is banned [from entering] the United States! She cannot use a bank card! She cannot use a debit card! She cannot receive a payment!"
*Crowd cheers*
"After she was sanctioned, we got her husband … he was demoted from his position at the World Bank for incitement to hate!"
🇮🇷 Iranian Professor Marandi:
“ISIS was created by your regime.
Al-Qaeda was created by your regime.
The head of Al-Qaeda went to the White House — the same organization you say carried out 9/11.
So how are we supposed to know who the terrorists are, based on your standards?”
The refusal of Western regimes to establish fraud-resistant electoral systems tells you what you need to know about Western "democracy." The ability to steal elections--that's the only reason to use such systems. This has long been obvious to those paying attention.
We're getting a new third party and it's going to be conservative in character because most of the American left has been more interested in funneling anti-war, economic populist voters back into the corporate, warmongering Democratic Party than agitating around an alternative.
If someone had told me -- even just 5 years ago -- that there'd be a collapse of support among Americans for Israel this radical, I wouldn't have believed it.
Drastic, rapid changes in public perception like this are possible only with internet freedom and independent media:
Some Ohioan mobster who looks like a cross between John Huston in Chinatown & The Penguin got a no-bid contract to install the water purification system in the reflecting pool for the 250th. In a case of nominative determinism, his co. is called “Green Water Services” lol
Former President Joe Biden remains alone at the podium during the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, removing his sunglasses and asking "Where is my granddaughter?" as the stage clears, June 2026.
