"In 2025, the US is France. As impunity and lawlessness have grown in the US over the last several decades, it has also grown everywhere else. Even now, in the days of dwindling US status as a global endo-ideal, US news is watched more than anywhere on earth." #3E #EndImpunity 🧵

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism."

I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

New in PN: The lawyers who caved

"If these shining stars of the legal profession are willing to betray the very legal system that gives them their value, one has to ask: is that system really working the way it should?"

Oligarchs are profiting from genocide in Gaza. Israel, backed by Trump, tech billionaires, and Gulf rulers, is clearing land to build smart cities for profit. Platforms like Airbnb help settlers monetize stolen land. Gaza won’t be the end, it’s the test run for global authoritarian capitalism.

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.
