AOC dunking on Rubio is beautiful lol
AOC says about Rubio: "the great irony because Marco Rubio is Cuban. You would never know that from how he was he was like I am from Spain. I'm like 'hermano.'"

Scotts? Sure, Elon.

I think that's quite enough about American culture from an immigrant Afrikaner.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

The Trumpists like to present themselves as defenders of the West.

There is one country fighting against brutality and barbarism, and in defense of everything we cherish about the West: Ukraine.

The Trumpists are hostile to Ukraine.

The Trumpists are betrayers of the West.

Look I have my issues with Newsom, but you are certifiably insane if you think trans people have it better under Abbott.

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

I support banning the presidential pardon. It’s been abused by both parties.

"Multicultural economic zones" sounds like they have tacos and when I say I would kill for a taco I've only ever been half joking.
"no one will die for a multicultural economic zone" watch me, motherfucker.

Also well worth noting that in fact quite a lot of Americans have died to defend a multicultural economic zone.

What do you think Irish immigrants mustered into the US army in the Civil War were doing? What do you think the members of 442 Regimental Combat Team - mostly Nisei - were doing?

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

"Great Powers have recognized spheres of influence and have carte blanche to maintain order within them" is basically what a lot of modern leftists have worked their way around to supporting.

Are we sure it’s not because landlords became less greedy
San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.

Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.

This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.

Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

I think liberal internationalism, aliances and defence cooperation are good, actually.
AOC's foreign policy has long held a strand of liberal interventionism, probably more JFK than Obama

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

Kidnapping is un-American and I’m glad there’s people who still get that. We need more.
