She stands with the IDF.
My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

AOCIA: "Yes, yes to the IDF!"
I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment.

Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does.

My statement on it:

There's no good reason for pyramidal, bureaucratic, "democratic" structures in a 21st century left political movement, just like there is no longer any need for printed membership cards.

James Holmes writes about the notion of choice in contemporary liberal democracy:

“Genuine freedom is not like selecting a dish from a menu; instead, it’s more like the ability to create a new dish and perhaps to prepare a whole other menu.”

Foucauld Giuliani writes that Trump’s theology:

“[...] resolves to the legitimation of war, deification of force, and sanctification of death; it is a theology of power and violence; a non-Christian and anti-evangelical heresy.”

As a woke father, I can affirm that harmful gender stereotypes are taught to children in kindergarten.

"Spider-Male is for boys, and the Ice Queen is for girls."

"No, boys and girls can like what they want. Don't believe everything you hear at school."

This is kindergarten.

Alice Celik writes about the dissolution of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK):

“[...] armed struggle is over; now is the time for a political strategy. A risky but calculated move, in response to a profound popular aspiration.”

Adam Jones (@sanktmaxtci.bsky.social) reads “AI” politically:

“Data centres function as an increasingly central part of the nervous system of an imperial, techno-capitalist order. Democratic politics holds the right to question their present and future existence.”

‘AI’ as Class Warfare
So-called ‘AI’ does not reduce, but rather diffuses and renders labour practically invisible.
