Narrative is a weapon. So I write.

Center-left liberals are desperate for a “Sister Souljah Moment” to regain power. Ezra Klein’s Charlie Kirk op-ed was just that — a calculated gambit to court right-wing moderates by intentionally angering his left-wing supporters.

Wrote a piece on this yesterday👇🏾

White supremacists in this country desperately want a purge, to release all their pent up violence and aggression the federal government has forced them to conceal, up until Trump took the chains off.

There is absolutely a NYTs group chat that Douthat, Klein, and Weiss (Madam CBS) are regularly engaged in for bad takes. You can’t tell me these three centrist liberals haven’t made it their goal to destroy the anti-genocide, anti-fascist, uncompromising wing of progressive American politics.
I suspect that a lot of people will find Mamdani's uncompromising progressivism much more appealing than a centrism that appears to think we should calculate our moral stances on the basis of whether we expect them to bump us 1 or 2 points in the polls.

The Case for Centrism Does Not Hold Up
The New York Times editorial board is wrong. Principled progressive politics on the Bernie Sanders model is still the path forward.

He’s incensed that the courts are stripping away his only bargaining chip, starving Americans.
I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Tell everyone about this story. Make it the face of the ICE invasion
Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.
Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

The ADL under Jonathan Greenblatt, has become a far-right tool of Zionist extremism. No investigation has been launched into the antisemites staffing the GOP, because Trump supports the Israeli genocide, so they’re doubling down on the threat of Mamdani, while completely ignoring Trump’s Nazis.
Jonathan Greenblatt declares war to the death against NYC. What a nutcase. In the meantime, antisemitism goes mainstream in the GOP, and Greenblatt says nothing.

If you replaced the word “divided” with “dissimilar,” in this poll, you’d get a similar response. Basically, 64% of Americans believe America is too diverse, and can’t function unless Anglo-Protestant culture is once again the dominant center of American life.

Hmm 🤔 Where have I heard that before?

From Saddam Hussein in Iraq, to Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, to Maduro in Venezuela — the U.S. runs the same criminal playbook in its endless wars for oil and resources.

And make no mistake, the crimes of the U.S. empire remain a bipartisan affair.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

“At the direction of President Trump,” is not an acceptable defense for international war crimes. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Pete Hegseth just murdered more people and we have to take his word for it that they deserved it.

American’s need to be giving all these corporations the Target treatment, indefinitely. Their bottom lines need to be turned blood red, until they get the message, and make restitution payments for their support of this criminal administration in the White House.
Corporate media is in a bad place.

By the time we get to 2028, Trump will be openly promoting the “Triumph of the Will,” and declaring the manifest destiny of the white race/western civilization, for which he alone has saved from the “menace of the under man.”

I know Nazism when I see it.
I regret to inform you that Trump isn't planning to stop at the ballroom.

Also, just for the record: Napoleon, who demanded the Arc de Triomphe be built at Place de l'Etoile in 1806, died in exile in 1821.

When you’re above the law, you just kill people and stuff.
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.
