This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing #HasanPiker.

Not white Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords?

Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good.

F*ck that noise.

Every word of this is agony to read. What Israel is doing to Palestinians is pure barbarism... by far the greatest single crime of the 21st century. Every sane person must oppose this evil.

this is the turning point we’ve been waiting for. i have never been more inspired or excited by a political candidate in this country

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

it’s true, but because of uncritical, complacent neoliberal brainrot, not because brunch would be warranted

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

The Republicans have now gained a majority in Minnesota’s House by political assassination.

Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

This is direct communication (phallocentric) vs indirect communication (gynocentric)

I understand you aren't used to it

It’s not complicated: landlords know they can make a lot more money if Andrew Cuomo is in City Hall. That's why they're going all in.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal.

And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

This is quite consequential.

China, Japan, South Korea and the countries of ASEAN just issued a joint statement (https://t.co/CyiMeQ4GZ6) in which they take a unified stance against "escalating trade protectionism", a clear reference to Trump's tariffs.

They write that their common "policy priority" is "to reinforce long-term resilience" of the region, which given the policies they detail clearly means building financial and trade infrastructure that aims at reducing their exposure to the US.

The statement outlines a comprehensive strategy to strengthen trade between the signatories, enhance local currency bond markets and reduce dependence on Western financial institutions (via, for instance, the expansion of the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation, CMIM).

Particularly notable is their explicit support for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) - the world's largest trade agreement that includes all the signatories but not the US.

All in all, Trump is achieving the unthinkable: bringing East and Southeast Asia together in an economic bloc that seeks to derisk itself from America.

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

Pretending like this is normal is actually liberalism. By presenting the fascism of the Trump administration as just 'normal' it gives people permission to keep living their own lives the same.

Instead of recognizing we need radical escalation and new tactics.

@marinadovexo i saw this on reddit and was shocked by how triggered and offended the comments are. i think this is cute, she obviously has a deep and gentle respect for animals that she’s translating to human relationships in a quirky but authentic way
