just another guy on the internet expressing his disdain for the status quo.

Fucking coward opportunist. Pretending this is some "ancient irresolvable conflict" is disingenuous and ignores the the events of the past century. It's a fucking genocide, but Matt doesn't want to say that because careerists like him choose money over ethics/decency every time.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

Correct, I don’t want to join either side of an ancient irresolvable conflict and am glad New Jersey isn’t angling to enter the war zone

[Nick @nickslayling]

He's playing the long game!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

[Nick @nickslayling]

Yup. Neoliberalism is the gasoline to the fire that is fascism. People need to awaken to the cycle if we're to have any hope of stopping it. Electing Democrats indefinitely isn't a real strategy.

[james_roe @james_roe]

Obama is a smart guy, and has obviously read global history.

Fascism finds fertile soil in declining living conditions.

When he bailed out banks rather than homeowners, when he ensured insurance profits rather than healthcare, he was watering and fertilizing these fields.

💯 you strip away meaning and purpose when you reduce education to a means of employment. Studying English broadened my perspective in a way that cannot be quantified, something so valuable that it's beyond money, something these bitter anti-intellectuals will never understand.

[LSDon @LSDonTV]

The idea that higher education should only be pursued as a way to make as much money as possible is evidence we’ve entirely lost the plot of what it means to be human

[Nick @nickslayling]

@RHINERewards @florastan13 Thanks for letting us know how little you value education.

[Nick @nickslayling]

@HorrorGorl Phenomenal movie. One of my favorites.

[Nick @nickslayling]

They're playing the long game!

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

The four DSA-LA Councilmembers just voted for the LARGEST LAPD funding increase in history.

Has DSA-LA criticized them for that, or nah?

[Nick @nickslayling]

The worst part of participating in the political discourse in this nation is trying to preserve your humanity while arguing against those who've clearly lost theirs. Stare into the abyss and the abyss stares into you.

[Nick @nickslayling]

Have people not yet realized we're governed by sociopaths?

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Palantir founder Peter Thiel: "If you're evil, you're not bad. You're actually maybe kind of good."

[Nick @nickslayling]

MAGA Defense Squad working overtime to justify Trump's fascist ban on lending for certain college majors. It's always anti-intellectualism coming from the nastiest of people with the most selfish intentions.

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. https://t.co/6tV30STfyc

[Nick @nickslayling]

@Floki_Vt @resetttheworld Stfu and stop simping for a fascist government, you fucking bootlicker.

[Nick @nickslayling]

@Meritaux Yeah, I yearn to be a dictator while you simp for an administration that bans certain majors lol

[Nick @nickslayling]

He's playing the long game!

[Joseph Kishore @jkishore]

Mamdani has assembled a "Business Advisory Council" consisting of four billionaires, numerous multimillionaires and the billionaire son of a former president of the AIPAC.

This scene traumatized me as a child.

[Camsiyo @Camsiyonna1]

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids🎬

[Nick @nickslayling]

Hmm was the military-industrial complex brought to you by poor people or rich people? What about a privatized healthcare system killing people every single day? Was it the rich or the poor that made higher education a debt sentence? Pretending there's any comparison is braindead.

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

Are there evil rich people? Yes. Absolutely.

But there are far more evil poor people. Both as an absolute number and per capita.

This is obvious if you have eyes and don't lie to yourself.

[Nick @nickslayling]

Yeah, empathy and compassion for a debilitating condition is definitely a psyop 👍

[birds' hell @saturnalreturn]

The way people talk about ADHD on here is a psyop to trick you into not doing things and being a loser. You can read books, you can show up on time, you can work a job, you can do the dishes. You can do anything

[Nick @nickslayling]

Imagine believing politicians over Nerdeen. If the DSA was there to actually challenge power rather than excuse it, they'd be standing by her rather than Mamdani.

[Nerdeen Kiswani @NerdeenKiswani]

Oh, and by the way, this is what it looks like when you’re actually arrested while protesting, not a coordinated media spectacle where you get to pose, smile for the cameras, and walk away with the perfect photo op.

Some of us know the difference because we’ve lived it.

[Nick @nickslayling]

@SnowHimbo

[Nick @nickslayling]

But this doesn't include Kamala Harris according to Abdul el-Sayed.

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Sadly, far too many people will forget this during elections.

[Nick @nickslayling]

Shit like this is why I just can't take Medea Benjamin seriously anymore. All it takes to win Medea's support are some empty platitudes & photo ops knowing once politicians like Darializa Avila Chevalier take power, they'll be just as useless as the politicians they replaced.

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

This is the face of a politician who truly represents her people--getting arrested in NYC protesting Netanyahu. Thank you @DarializaforNY. You are a beautiful role model. I can't wait to see you in Congress.
