TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

Tonight the #rva school board dealt a serious blow to collective bargaining in Richmond Public Schools. Their public facing message outlined the need for mutual compromise but they made sure the unions knew that they weren't required to take any public feedback into consideration on this topic.
School Board votes yes on changes to collective bargaining procedures

Those in favor of the change noted that they did not hear specifics on what changes union members were upset with during public comment.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

sam altman has never set off the same predator warning instinct in my brain the way that musk, zuckerberg, et al do. and i think that's because he's naturally evolved a cloak of dreamworks face to hide among his prey

All there is is what can be observed. I don’t need to know what is in Biden’s “heart” when he shipped arms for genocide, all that matters is what he did. I don’t need to know with metaphysical certainty that Musk is a Nazi (or what this even means) to observe he deliberately did a Nazi salute

There must be something to be said for reality. If one has to, with 100% certainty, know what is in someone’s heart or whatever to determine political acts, then nothing is true. Then we are awash in 100% unobservable solipsism. Nothing is real and all we have is presumed good faith.

You read this and it’s clear, on a basic editorial level, NYT doesn’t consider Palestinians fully human. Every Palestinian is presumed a cartoon terrorist, every Israeli a smol civilian. If you’re Arab, show trials by occupying armies and “admin detention” magically turn a hostage into a “prisoner”
What’s behind the uneven exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners?
