There are two wolves inside of you. A fantastic result for the rewilding project you've been developing in your chest for the last few years.
Dr. Abdul El Sayed explaining to the Detroit Free Press that he believes military assistance to Ukraine is consistent with international law and therefore qualitatively different from military assistance to Israel and Egypt.
Leon English@leonenglish.bsky.social · 3d agoAnd here he is staring pretty unequivocally that he sees aid to Ukraine as different from aid to Israel (or Egypt), so please update your priors or fuck off with claims to the contrary.
The one trick these people have is taking something that we’re already doing or have tried and was a miserable failure and proposing it like it’s both a brand new idea and a clear-cut solution that we can’t implement because of “the groups” or campus protesters or feckless leaders or whatever.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
This is a core, like, profoundly fundamentally central-to-the-ethos NYC-DSA thing. It's so so good that DSA people, literally the same people, are now in positions of power in the city government to help people in this way. Extremely good to see

every time you write overly defensively you should remember that you are pursuing a strategy of writing careful sentences specifically for people who demonstrably either won't or can't read them
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2w agothere is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Will say this soon on a podcast in regards to a certain dummy's claims but would you believe Tolkien describes the skin of Hobbits as brown multiple times? Not tanned, not dirty, but brown. That's the text: brown. You can now quibble about how we're to take it but it requires acknowledging Ideology!

39) Track your wins. Make sure other people know about 'em. This is especially important if you're a traditionally overlooked demographic. Because if you fall for the fiction you should be modest and downplay your own accomplishments? Certain types will LEAP at the opportunity to help you w/that.
ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.
Okay, let's talk about this, because I don't think it's quite what the headline implies. If you read the piece, this regrettable comment arose during a conversation with a Black activist about Black liberation. Not like he was bitching with other white leftists. 🧵

It's really wild that a couple decades removed from 9/11, most people in politics and media seem to have agreed that the US response to the attacks was overkill, wrong, etc. And then 10/7 happens, and those same people in politics and media are like, "Look, Israel HAS to repeat those same mistakes."
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 4w agoDana Bash: What would you have wanted Israel to do when a bunch of civilians -- these were peacenicks -- were murdered brutally on October 7? Lander: I wouldn't have killed 5000 Palestinians under the age of 5. Bash: Israel says they tried hard to avoid this -- I'm just playing devil's advocate.
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

You can't keep calling it inflation when corporate profit margins surged upwards of 75%, accounting for roughly 40% of the total inflation seen since the pandemic began. Corporations raised prices to boost profits, used inflation as a shield, and never dropped prices again.
Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"
you have to attend the meetings and many people don't want to do that but want to direct strategy.

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.
Handful of detainments here by the reflecting pool. They are being done a variety of officers, including Monroe County Sheriff, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma State Police, US Marshals, a county in Texas I can’t make out, and a county in New York I can’t make out.
