Quiet part right into a microphone: "They are concerned about [Abdul El-Sayed's] electability... I think we can not ignore the fact he's a Muslim and a person of color... It's not just his messaging that makes Democrats concerned"

Oliver Larkin calls Trump a pedophile and Fox News ends the interview. 😂

Listening to Megan Romer's appearance on Bad Faith. BJG keeps asking why DSA doesn't give its resources to the Greens/PSL. It's noticeable that the left critique of DSA has shifted from "your model won't work" to "your model is working-why don't you bail out broken models?"

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

any Democratic presidential nominee who won't free them within a month of taking office isn't worthy of holding the office. and Dem presidential nominee who treats them as something other than political prisoners should not make it out of Michigan.

the Prairieland defendants were not the cutting edge of the left, but they are ordinary and decent people being railroaded by fascists. yeah, protest looks different in north texas than Minneapolis, no shit.

Again – Mamdani defeated 10 candidates in his election. It was ranked choice voting. The democratic establishment gave EVERYTHING it could against him. Cuomo wasn’t the only option. He beat them all!

Trevor Magnotti@illegalscreens.bsky.social · 5d ago

At a certain point we are going to have to grapple with whether Mamdani and El-Sayed campaigns are repeatable when you aren’t facing the worst primary candidates the dem establishment has ever found

MAGA views COVID the same as socialism: If you care about it you’re weak and gay, but also it’s a Democrat-China super weapon that will end life on earth.

The thing I can't really figure out about Lab Leak Theory is like... so what if it were true? Like is the idea that we could sue China for damages? That's not gonna work. It wouldn't really change anything both to how we responded to Covid and how we act going forward.

Also seems like it is happening mostly to Arabs and Muslims. Wonder if there's a reason. I do not think it will help Democratic Party perception among Middle Easterner Americans if the two most prominent Muslim nominees have noticeably less-than-enthusiastic support from their party leadership.

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.
