If you blame/attack Democrats more than Republicans, you are not on the left.

Someday, everyone needs to reckon with the utterly blasé attitude with which the internet left invokes the slaughter in Gaza as a rhetorical cudgel to beat social media enemies with.
It cheapens the suffering, has no positive benefit at all, and turns a real war crime into a meme. It’s disgusting.

Yes, this. Also too: Platner.
Rooting for Abughazaleh to lose at this point because I think its important for the health of our politics that poorly run wrecker campaigns actually see consequences for their shitty behavior rather than be rewarded with a nomination.
Man that is a disgusting smear, you’re a campaign spokesperson? AIPAC doesn’t like Biss or Abughazaleh! loyolaphoenix.com/2025/10/pro-...

Parts of the Palestinian activist movement in the US have unfortunately been overtaken by campist politics that have utilized Palestine for broader ideological projects. This is the co-founder of Palestine Action US. (1)

This is basically true of all leftists.
No one understands the stakes like a Democrat from the South. Those people will give you the most Sherman-pilled takes you have ever heard.

Reiterating my belief that any trans person in a blue area who thinks there is no difference between parties has a moral obligation to switch homes with a trans person in Bumfuck, Mississippi who believes otherwise.
Your reminder that Jon Bel Edwards, a legit conservative and the last Dem governor of Louisiana, was pro trans rights while being anti choice. "Dems don't support queer people" is like the most easily disproven lie. If JBE, Kelly, Cooper, and Beshear are all pro trans.

… this is still their position. What?
Dems could have just stuck with the righteous position on immigration -- "it's good! it needs to be somewhat better controlled, but it's good." -- & they would have been here to meet the public, looking like they know what they believe in.
But no. Chased that way, chased this way, always chasing.

It’s also yet another example where the most online position has completely failed to even try to win the argument on the merits.
It’s been all about shaming AI users rather than trying to show how not using AI for many tasks is actually an improvement.

i think it is a massive fucking problem that the first best use for LLMs was to cheat in school
Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

This is the fundamental flaw in the progressive left’s electoral strategy. They keep forgetting who the base is.
As we all know, the most proven method of winning a partys nomination is to shit all over the party itself and prominent, popular figures within it in the hopes that primary voters who are the base of said party respond positively to those attacks.

Imagine if a Democrat said this.
Q: Do you believe Bibi bears any responsibility for the security failures we saw on October 7?
TRUMP: October 7 was a rough time, and I guess everybody is responsible

I feel a bit bad because they later came clean that they don’t know who Frederick Douglass is.
But also, if you don’t know who Frederick Douglass is, why are you speaking about any of this at all?

An important thing to know about social media: you actually aren’t forced into speaking about thinks you know nothing about.

I once again remind people that the radical invention of the Constitution (and the Declaration) is that they may be interpreted to speak to a long struggle for dignity and equality beyond that which even their framers understood.
The people who think otherwise are Scalia and deadenders like this.

Obviously this isn’t really the point, but the big reason to resign from this administration is like, imagine this was your job.
Leaving aside the morality of it all. If you’re a career bureaucrat, what a fucking pain in the ass, right? And it’s the result of incompetent management!

I genuinely cannot remember the last time a book got people this mad despite none of them reading it.
It's very very funny to me that Demsas tries to answer the (true) "it's just another group" thing with this just after the Abundance guys padded themselves on the back for doing exactly what she's criticizing.

@whstancil.bsky.social Thus far, these sorts of feints have really been about giving congressional Democrats a way to support funding DHS with fewer restrictions on ICE. No accident that this comes right when they're trying to get congressional Dems to stop asking for so much in that regard.

not super important, but when asked for Senators (just Senators not *Republican* Senators) he admired Graham Planter named Josh Hawley, again he wasn't asked for from both parties just senators in general.
Hawley ended up getting so aggressive toward Ellison, including calling for his arrest, that even Rand Paul asked him to tone it down
