Thinking about how the Democrats and Biden let the extended child tax credits - one of the single most profound impacts on child hunger and poverty in history - expire in 2021. Coincidentally, they had a majority of both the Senate and the House in 2021.

Proudly, in fact.

the vast majority of people at the top are on the right and the vast majority of their enemies are on the left

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Anytime someone says “it’s not about left or right” it is absolutely about left or right

My Windows desktop PC just gave me a “happy 4 year anniversary” pop-up. An ominous notification if I ever saw one. I’m sure run-up-the-voltage-until-the-mobo-is-fried-so-he-has-to-buy-a-new-pc.exe will be running any second now.

If you don't support Palestine Action, then you support genocide. Shame on you.

If you are rich, to be mildly inconvenienced is a fate close to death, apparently.

Imagine thinking there is such a thing as an anti-capitalist liberalism.

This guy is pretty sloppy. I know that: Aquifers aren't "aquifiers". Jealousy and envy are different things. He attributes the reduction in global poverty to capitalism (which has also been attributed to liberalism) and describes governments as "capitalist" which ignores the agency of 1/

Why is it when democratic donors are disgruntled we get these kind of hand-wringing concern pieces, but when democratic voters are disgruntled they just get howled at?

Politico@politico.com · 5d ago

More than half a dozen Democratic donors, bundlers and donor advisers said they’ve lost trust in the DNC. “It’s beyond embarrassing and it’s not going to get better until [Ken Martin] is gone,” one Democratic bundler told us.

it can never be overstated how pervasive and accepted rank islamophobia is in both american political parties. anyone who tells you there's an antisemitism problem on the left who isn't also addressing this shit is just completely acting in bad faith

What the fuck?? “While Mr. El-Sayed is fringy and radical, he’s also a Muslim man. Ms. Stevens is a white woman. This puts her at a disadvantage in the identity Olympics that internal Democratic Party politics have become.” www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

KHive is -just- as racist as MAGA.

Khive is literally blue MAGA

This is how you know most mainstream democrats are where they are due to the power of capital. Because it sure as shit ain’t political instincts.

Most of the things that people in politics (including voters) say "can't be done" can in fact be done.

Phrases like "runaway DEI and open border" are surely going to win so many elections, buddy. Just keep at it.

Scott Witte@scottwitte.bsky.social · last wk.

Tom, suburban, college educated women are scared of “boys in girls sports”. Not arguing it, but that’s what polling shows. Same with runaway DEI and open borders. Again, not gonna argue, that’s just what reality is. If Dems stick to those things, independents and mod Rs are lost, again.

Many many people in this country cannot recognize Islamophobia because they are swimming so deeply in it on a daily basis and have so internalized it that it isn't actually legible to them as racism. It's why it's so casually deployed in a way that other forms of racism in the country are not.

None of this is new:

good morning hamas are only "terrorists" if you deny palestinian sovereignty and statehood. so you cannot claim you believe in a "two state" solution and accept the framing that israel are fighting "terrorists" and as always death to amerikkka

This chart is basically the whole story of American politics. Only one party has “centrists.”

If Biden would have renegotiated a new JCPOA trump wouldn’t have had to attack Iran.

Liberals be like: “Both slavery and slave revolts are bad.”

Exactly the kind of sarcasm a working mother of 3 who is struggling to feed their kids just loves to hear.

Oh damn, I didn’t know “agricultural worker” was a nationality.

Climate change, deporting agricultural workers because of BREXIT.

Mamdani promised to arrest Netanyahu, collected months of praise for his courage, and has now conceded that he cannot do it. Of course he can’t! The pledge was never realistically within a mayor’s power. What was within his power was refusing to retain a Zionist as police commissioner, however.
