Debate me bros on the quad. Official first day of spring.
No, they shouldn’t. B/c 1. You can’t just make Cold War civil rights happen again. 2. Cold War Anti-communism was a reputational pressure cooker for civil rights *and* for their severe repression. 2. Increased geopolitical competition (you want more escalation?!?!?) is a recipe against reform.
Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · 4mo ago“A 2028 Democratic candidate ought to lean into our rivalry with China not just because the international system is in shambles, and Republicans are to blame. The pressure of the first Cold War was successfully channeled into long needed reforms at home” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-next-dem...
Is this a joke? Some of those campus leaders are still in jail, face deportation, or had their normal lives stripped from them by the security state.

The fact that he’s not running again suggests that this is Walz’s real preference for less spectacular ways of snatching our neighbors from their communities.
full slack@fullslack.bsky.social · 6mo ago"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt" "They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it" Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?
I am reminded, yet again, of how often the people the fascist state executes are already in jobs that involve caring for others and holding worlds together—and that they still spend their time off caring for our neighbors.
Dimitri Drekonja, MD, MS@dimitridrekonja.bsky.social · 6mo agoAlex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Right by my old apartment in Minneapolis. I love you, I love you, I love you. To all the people standing up against fascism
Alli DeJong@allidejong.bsky.social · 6mo agoIf you feel outnumbered and discouraged - watch a video like this and say out loud to each person you see in it, I love you. I love you. I love you. Just send that out into the world.
When u r a true MaVErick, u vote for the gestapo at the door.
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez@gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 7mo agoI’ll keep plugging away to make sure that Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being invested in an effective, durable, and responsible way.
Ok I need to spell this out more slowly, clearly: Greenland is Inuit land and nobody but Inuit should be getting to decide what happens to it
We don’t have to tell stories that are false to opposed bad things, and we are more likely to get more bad things if we tell stories that cover over continuities with all the other same bad things.
Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof@evanbernick.bsky.social · 7mo agoHistorical illiteracy is generous. The United States governs 574 Native nations that it holds in colonial subordination today.
A century that includes the US navy using gunboats to literally pilfer the Haitian treasury. Wtaf are they talking about?
David Temin@davidtemin.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe willful historical illiteracy among pundits about American imperialism is still shocking, no matter how predictable.

I saw the “using children as human shields” line used by someone in the admin the other day with reference to Minneapolis and wondered if people might finally get it.
The federal government has occupied Minneapolis. And everyone can see the abuses that come from this situation day in and day out. Even people not protesting cant keep their kids safe. Now imagine 77 years of this.
Absolutely no one: “I wonder what Emily Oster thinks about all this?”
Reminder that for US foreign policy elites contemplating intervention since 1945: “democracy” means right-wing dictatorship “dictatorship” means left-wing dictatorship, social democracy, or democratic socialism
I can’t be the only one who thinks that the timing is partly motivated by Trump being envious at the media attention lavished on Mamdani.
Bombing Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro is completely consistent with US Imperialism’s long and bloody history in Latin America.
John Gibbons 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇪🇺@thinkorswim.bsky.social · 7mo agoLest anyone for a single moment thinks this latest coup is a somehow a dramatic breach of long-term US foreign policy.
Tasks of the US left are to stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people and make sure this war becomes deeply unpopular at home.
The US is a rogue state. The US has always been a rogue state.
In the immortal words of Hugo Chavez, “Eres un donkey, Mr. Danger.”
The resonances with personal elder care experience are sooooo familiar.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoOh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Gotta enjoy one more ridiculous Adams administration folly on the way out the door.
