Surely they won’t lose the entire series off this?
But if they did, that documentary in 20 years with a Knicks players talking about how fucked up the energy was before the game, overlaid on the visual of trump sleeping mid game would be hilarious

Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

67% of American centrists have unfavorable opinions on Israel

Certain ultra-pro-Israel people on here are freaks even by the standards of the center!

[daeveningglow @InlandCaGuy]

It blows my mind that liberal supporters of Israel still just write this stuff off like "yeah those guys are terrorists" and "I don't support that" and "most Israelis don't support this" when it's stuff you simply cannot do without the state tacitly allowing it.

When Platner beats Collins in November a lot of people are going to forget they spent the close of May tweeting prudish neo-Victorian takes about sex.

Just like all the people who expressed shock at blowjobs in 1998.

I think AOC should take Schumer’s senate seat in 2028. Then she becomes a very prominent and effective Senator leading the progressive movement after Bernie retires. She will have countless viral moments grilling cabinet and SCOTUS nominees… She spends the next decade or so doing that and waits for the boomer voters to die out and the electorate to become a bit more favorable for progressives nationally…. THEN she makes her run for POTUS.

If she runs now she’s either going to lose in the primary and miss out on the chance to take the Senate seat… or she’s somehow going to win the nomination only to have a very high chance of losing to Vance because the modern electorate just isn’t ready for a young female socialist…

In the scenario where AOC loses to Vance, the progressive movement is dead and there won’t be a left-wing Dem nominee for the next few decades.

The left podcast/alt media/substack whatever class has worked itself into this position of needing to perform disapproval of the liberals and independents that would actually comprise an effective coalition while simultaneously throwing a parade for any fascist that nods at them

If you’d rather vote for Tucker Carlson than AOC you’re actually not on the left, you are a right wing stooge. Hope this helps
