Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Important socialist history.
🧵 it's always curious that the DSA doesn't emphasize that they can trace their lineage to the original Socialist Party of America. Founded in 1901, members were city mayors, Congressmen & key figures in both the Civil Rights movement and AFL-CIO.

"We have to move toward ending the occupation, establishing a Palestinian state, and reaching a real peace agreement. This is the only way all of us, Palestinians and Jews, can live on this land with the justice, freedom, and safety we deserve." I agree.

In case it needs to be said: Trump signed the Abraham Accords without addressing the Palestinian situation at all. Doing so created conditions that made a Palestinian uprising likely. Now, he is cleaning up the horrific situation created by the uprising. /1

Happy to hear a ceasefire is coming.
Of course there are problems with the plans for after. For now, I'm glad the killing and dying will stop.

That's good news.
The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

If Klippenstein's got the story right, Jahn's not a leftist. But of course why would a leftist shoot ICE *detainees*?
