Summer Lee Francesca Hong Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar AOC Ayanna Pressley Analilia Mejia Cori Bush Melat Kiros The idea that we don't have a whole SLATE of amazing progressive women is ridiculous. It's about the policy. Not the identities. Clinton & Harris uniquely failed us.
First, they yelled Lock Her Up at Hillary Then they yelled Snake at Warren Then they yelled Cop at Kamala But the attacks on a marching band for a woman candidate and the booing another woman candidate are totally Substantive.

ironic that yair claims i bastardized einstein's views on zionism & israel for my ideological purpose in this article, when he quite literally did just that. here are some choice quotes from the book Einstein on Israel and Zionism- make up your own mind canadiandimension.com/articl…
The problem is not talking to Hasan Piker or influencers like him. Such conversations are part of democratic dialogue. The problem is figuring out how to constructively engage a new media landscape dominated by smashmouth populists of all political persuasions who talk about everything but are experts in nothing, and whose incentives run toward incendiary virality rather than accuracy. How do reporters and others have these conversations in ways that make their audiences more informed, rather than less? I have some ideas. Gift link: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

The idea of “low-tax” red states is a myth. Lower-income and working-class people pay higher taxes in Texas than in California. Middle-class people pay about the same in both states. Rich people pay much lower taxes in Texas.
6 years of living in Texas and I've come to the conclusion that the no state income tax thing is basically a scam. The property taxes are so high that they negate any savings. We are still paying as many taxes in Texas as we would in California. You save on gas I guess.

one of the bizarre things i've noticed with centrist democrats is their refusal to even acknowledge the party is in disarray right now. chuck schumer just voted against 80 percent of his caucus in support of israel! that's not the left's fault!

Author Gil Duran was just banned from this “free speech absolutist” platform for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: simonandschuster.com/books/T…

There was a *kernel* of truth in the right-wing critiques of managerialism, cancel culture, censorship c. 2020, but it should be completely clear to anyone by now that there was never a "successor ideology," just successive permutations of authoritarian neoliberalism.

My sense of the university is that we live in the worst of all possible worlds of top-down, bureaucratic authoritarianism for which social justice discourse was just a short term way station.

Conrad's a public defender, unionist, and democratic socialist from and for the working class. Scared of his challenge to the status quote, big donors are now attacking him for a two-month unpaid internship he had in law school. I'm confident Harlem will see through the BS.
Wasting our time, wasting our money. I'm gonna keep building power for the people of Harlem.

Do people in America just not think about the fact that a poor nation we have sanctioned since the 1960s has a longer average life expectancy than us

There’s a girl in Florida facing 15 years in state prison for making a joke in a group chat about Netanyahu, but the really dangerous thing is someone put a flyer in a urinal.
I am deeply disturbed by the reports of antisemitic incidents at Scarsdale High School. These reports demand a thorough investigation, and every individual responsible must be held fully accountable. At a time when the Jewish community is facing heightened threats and hostility, students deserve to feel safe in their schools - places meant for learning, growth, and community. No student should have to walk into their classroom in fear of the next antisemitic act. Prejudice, to any group, is not welcomed here. I will continue to advocate for an end to antisemitism and work toward building a community where every person feels welcome and safe, regardless of their religious affiliation or ethnic heritage.

not to give my enemies any advice but i think you should pay attention to why rahm emanuel, son of an irgun militant, is making such rhetorical concessions
This for me is immediately disqualifying for Rahm as a serious candidate. Not bc he opposes Israel, but bc he demonstrates here either a complete lack of understanding of how this financial relationship actually works or a willingness to feign ignorance in order to spit out a popular anti-Israel talking point to gain votes. Neither option is what Americans deserve in a serious leader.

Settlers shot up a school in Al-Mughayer.
BREAKING— two Palestinians, including a child, killed and several other children injured in an ongoing Israeli attack on a school in the village of Mughayer northeast of Ramallah. This is second attack of its kind in the last 24 hours, and comes after a convoy for an Israeli minister ran over and killed a child in Hebron, south of the West Bank. Israelis are carrying out intensified and increasingly violent attacks in the West Bank with the purpose of dispossessing Palestinians from their homes and lands.

It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earth…?

I don’t think Democrats need to take advice from someone who thinks electing Zohran, one of the most popular politicians in the country, was a bad move. And also, this:
