This is Josh Hawley’s whole routine, encapsulated. He’s a run of the mill Republican with a fake “populist” shtick that way too many people fall for.

The Republican Party, in a single image. This is what Democratic leaders in Congress should spend their time talking about and rallying people to oppose, not spreading lies and innuendo about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for things he never said and doesn’t think.

Wow. So you’re telling me this guy constantly lies about everything. I’m hearing about this for the first time.

Canada seems to have effectively imported America's polarized, two-party presidential system despite having a parliamentary system. It's a big reason why third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties have so much trouble catching on in the US, a dynamic the Electoral College strengthens and reinforces.

Finally watched WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky on Criterion 4K. It's hard to think of a film that speaks more directly to this moment in time, with such unsettling beauty. There are just so many astonishing images and sequences in it, it's hard to do it justice with words.

It’s a beautiful morning to tell @schumer.senate.gov to Vote No or Go! People are positively vibrating with anger out here - Chuck Schumer is simply not cut out for this moment.

“I'm Gandhi-like. I think like Gandhi. I act like Gandhi. I want to be like Gandhi…I wanted to be the modern-day Ramayana and say that we can lead against the forces of evil and take us to the next direction on who we are."

One of my favorite things about the movie LINCOLN is how it shows a strong and decisive American CEO in action, just rolling up his sleeves and Getting Things Done without having to deal with annoying stuff like negotiating with a pesky Congress.

Seeing images of cops being way too aggro with striking Amazon Teamsters reminded me of some history I wrote about a couple of years ago for @demsocialists.bsky.social’s Socialist Forum socialistforum.dsausa.org/issues/sprin...

I love Bernie but I’m not thrilled by this. DOGE is an oligarchs’ plot to loot the public sector, gut civil service, and delegitimize government itself. Is there waste and fraud? Yes. Should we cut war spending? Yes. Is Elon Musk right? Hell no! Let’s not confer one iota of legitimacy on this guy.

Rashid Khalidi’s interview with Haaretz is long but essential reading. Unsparing criticism of both the Israeli settler-colonial project and Palestinian leadership. “It's harder than any other liberation struggle, because it's not a colonial project in which people can go home.” archive.is/ErRw8

Going out on a limb here, but I’m gonna say No. But Democrats won’t be able to take full advantage of this politically without a reckoning with their own crew of Wall Street billionaires

You haven’t seen LE SAMOURAÏ until you see it in 4K, it really brings the film’s drab grays and blues to life. YES I am a physical media freak and NO I am not ashamed to admit it
