Why is anyone even talking about this now? The earliest primary is 2 years away and not one person has announced. Are you so desperate for a cudgel against the Left that you're preemptively assuming the worst possible candidate will win just to have something to try to shame us with?
"If you nominate Gavin Newsom, I won't vote for him"

How about you organize to vote against him in the fucking primary contest you dumb piece of shit.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Man screaming "They will kill me if you let this happen!"and now asking to see EMTs after they savagely dogpiled him and have been contorting his body in unnatural ways. They are hauling him into the back of a pickup as protestors shout "That's not an ambulance!"

The 1-2-3 of Station To Station-Low-"Heroes" is just incredible to me. The man put out one of the greatest albums of the 70s while on more cocaine than humanly possible, then moved to Berlin, got sober, and put out two more of the greatest albums of the decade in under two years

Just great that there's a whole contingent of liberals on here whose position is basically that if you didn't vote for Harris, you deserve to be brutalized and possibly murdered by fascist thugs
Kamala Harris called all of this.

But y’all knew better.

And now….you’re crying for someone to come save you.

Fuck you.

asking why the police don't arrest ICE is like asking why the Gestapo didn't arrest the SS

Not shocked that the liberals who tut-tutted everyone demanding Biden stop arming a genocide are now doing the same to those demanding our electeds act to stop the fascist terror at our doorsteps

A lot of people applauding this are assuming he's mobilizing the guard to put a stop to ICE raids, and not to crush the inevitable wave of protests to come from this just like in 2020
Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

If your position is that responsibility for the Current Moment is ultimately individual and not systemic -- that voters (and non-voters) are the most to blame for Trump's misdeeds -- congratulations! You're a conservative

The Matt Christman 2017 tweet “This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history” is the undefeated summation of the 21st century.

Love how the genocide champions have discovered agency discourse
Lots of killing on both sides for many decades.
Your blaming only the Israelis betrays the soft bigotry of low expectations. You don’t grant those Arabs living in Gaza ANY agency in their own affairs.

What compels people to talk this way on here? This feels like a very Bluesky-specific style of condescension
Pookie pants, it's called diplomacy. Do you need a dictionary for it? Doing a name search to try to troll in '25 is sad shit. Byeee to mutey land!

Yeah, the discourse about how this place is so much better than the other place hits different when you’re Palestinian. My existence is a political act, it’s divisive, it’s upsetting. Something needs to be done about us.

It’s not great.

She pledged that her admin would maintain Biden's genocidal policy toward Gaza. And regime change in Venezuela has been a bipartisan project for 25+ years, she probably would not have called for all-out war but would certainly have kept supporting ongoing coup attempts. I'll give you Greenland
Fun fact: Kamala Harris wouldn’t have tried to go to war with Venezuela or attempted to annex Greenland. She also wouldn’t have tried to turn Gaza into a shitty real estate project, but it’s not like the people who refused to vote for her ever genuinely cared about that.

99% of what gets labeled as contrarian or heterodox thinking is basically just "supply side neoliberalism and also I should get to say slurs"
Something which isn't always acknowledged is that "contrarian thinkers" are just regurgitating conventional wisdom with a little extra racism, and these forbidden views are generally expressed by the most platformed mainstream figures, like Pinker.

As a rule of thumb, I think if you find yourself typing out the words "How's no compromise on genocide working out," you should probably log off and take a good long walk to think about what in your life brought you to that point
And how's 'No compromise on genocide' working out for everyone targeted by this government? How's it working out for the trans kids? The people disappeared by government thugs?

Are there lines you should not cross to attain victory. Sure, but you better be sure about living with the consequences.

*Me after being hit in the head by a falling anvil causing me to forget every undeclared war the US has waged from Korea to Iraq*
A President has no power to declare war, but Donald John Trump just did that by declaring blockade on Venezuela.

In international law, such a declaration is equivalent to a declaration of war.

If the GOP wants an escape, they could use that and impeach him before the weekend.

As if.

Despite what you may have heard, colonial plunder didn’t give rise to capitalism.

In an interview with Jacobin, Vivek Chibber discusses why the “colonialism-created-capitalism” argument fails, and why Marxism provides a better account of its emergence.
