What’s happening in France?! This is so uncharacteristic for them. I can only conclude it’s the influence of Islam. The French used to be so measured in protesting power. If you don’t believe me look up Marie Antoinette’s famous Jubilee video: 1 Queen versus 20 Revolutionaries.

american exceptionalism has NOTHING on a group of indians who think they’re simply too clever to stand in line like the rest of us idiots

it’s a subtle difference bc both are insufferable: american exceptionalism is usually based on wealth/status or the US position as a superpower, indian exceptionalism is born out of this widely held belief that rules are for idiots and will only impede you unless you break them

bf was like you have to get coffee at the end of this street in istanbul. there you will find a man sitting on a stoop. next to him will be a coffee pot. if he isn’t there ring the doorbell. if he answers he may bring simit. but if he doesnt then don’t ask for it or he’ll get mad

Nah I care about getting shit done and supporting people who want to get shit done; they care about performative protest and screaming at allies and getting clicks. I note that you didn’t say they care about getting stuff done, because they don’t. They have no theory of change. Protest the people in power, sure, it’s important, necessary- but Rubio is the one kidnapping Palestinian students and Trump is the one arming Israel. Where are the protests against them?

his social media strategy worked not because it was snappy and stylish but because he backed his content with consistent and clear messaging + explicit promises. posting cute videos ab palestine while letting the nypd arrest pro palestine supporters is so insulting to his voters
ce n'est pas erica

mamdani’s become really skilled at these manufactured social media stunts that do nothing but cheapen all of the principaled coalition-building he ran on. let them see that i dined at hinds hall on oct 7 is aoc crying at the border photoshoot

“realists” will always wring their hands and say yeah what else can he do but you only have to look at the history of abolition or anti-apartheid struggle to understand that victory in those cases was never achieved by capitulation to political machinery

no culture of protest xitter.cf/never_oppressed/status…

A key reason why nothing ever meaningfully moves in America is because there’s no culture of protest. People think rightfully criticizing a politician, whose rise to success was in no small part secured by the coalitions whose activists feel shortchanged by his admin, is a psyop.

استهدفت قواتنا المسلحة مساء اليوم مطار الملك خالد بالرياض بصاروخين مجنحين، ومطار نجران بصاروخ باليستي، والقاعدة الجوية في خميس مشيط بصاروخ باليستي، وكانت الإصابات دقيقة ومباشرة بفضل الله، وأدت إلى تعطل حركة الملاحة في المطارين وإلحاق أضرار بهما وبالقاعدة الجوية.

there is obviously a difference b/w mamdani and the majority of US politicians and these protestors know this. instead of reducing their anger to a mental illness you as a journalist should understand their anger is directed at his very real political record since he took office

If you’re protesting and blaming *checks notes* Zohran Mamdani for the Gaza genocide you may, you just may, need to check yourself into a mental health facility.

over and over again the media itself demonstrates a complete lack of understanding this basic principle: elected officials can and should be he’d accountable. it’s really not that complicated but i guess a tweet about how pro-palestinians are cuckoo bananas does better numbers

if you have a crush on someone here is my one piece of advice to you: invite them over to watch moonstruck (1987)
