I'm coming here because of the mass censorship of #Gaza, #Palestine and the genocide they face. I really hope BlueSky isn't as bad as the other lot.

What Election Do These People Think We Just Had?
Democrats are inventing wild fantasies about the power of Big Woke rather than confront the failures of their actual approach.

phillippe reinnes and john fetterman and joe scarborough are NOT the people that will help Dems recover. they are all conservatives. if you want to keep having the football pulled out on you, then follow their lead.

This is what concerns me—this narrative emerging that people rejected the pro-worker policies of Biden.
The truth is, Dems didn’t go far enough. They didn’t raise the min wage and blamed the parliamentarian. They let COVID rip and relief expire like the CTC and PUA. They didn’t do paid leave.

Biden's legislation was as favorable to the working class as Congress would allow, and his appointees (NLRB, FTC, etc) were the best ever for them.
If, as Sanders suggests, we should evaluate that by votes and not results, then voters delivered a resounding rejection of pro-working class policies.

A fiery statement from Bernie Sanders says the Democratic Party "has abandoned working class people" and found "that the working class has abandoned them."
I have written about how Biden won in 2020 by forging a truce with Bernie and other progressives. Safe to say, that truce is over.

libs go-to media outlet is right wing MorningJoe which leads into right wing Nicole Wallace. if they switch to CNN it's Israeli state TV. it's billionaires running all media and libs kissing their asses. rinse, repeat. it's only going to get worse as they all race to blame the left for their failure
the one theory of 2024 that I find most convincing by far is that the information environment is utterly fucked for Dems. we need media & communications outside of campaigns prospect.org/politics/202...
Time for Democrats to Abandon the Mainstream Media
The ‘liberal media’ was in the tank for Trump. Democrats should take their subscription dollars elsewhere.

totally normal and reasonable thing that doesn't seem suspicious in the least
Israel has issued a censorship order directing media to “submit to the Censorship all materials dealing with the activities of the Israeli Defense Forces.”
Read the full order here:

Exclusive: Israeli Military Censor Bans Reporting on These 8 Subjects
The highly unusual, English-language order for the Gaza war breaks from the secretive and informal way IDF censorship normally works.

Despite Intel warnings about a Hamas attack, IDF didn’t evacuate the Nova Festival
Top defense officials held urgent consultations the night before Oct 7 about a possible Hamas attack. But no one in the IDF notified the festival organizers or the party-goers, hundreds of whom were mown down

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago
A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail. Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings.

The “Trump supports striking workers” story is pure, uncut fake news and it’s a bad sign that the press stuck to the narrative they wanted even after it became clear it wasn’t true www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Donald Trump is not, in fact, supporting striking autoworkers.
