“it’s so weird that trans people cluster up in a single neighborhood“

But they haven't, though.

yeah this is the fucking thing that keeps rattling in my brain this entire time. they pulled out all the stops on mamdani, they were pedal to the metal on what a danger he would be to jewish people. for the guy with the goddamn totenkopf, the energy is "ehhhhhh" bsky.app/profile/delb...

at any point this all could've been easily nuked by a party and officials who actually fucking gave a damn, even for selfish reasons, but when it comes to maine they're all just totally checked out. even the former governor herself. jesus christ.

twitching again as i think of dem leadership's insistence on mills, mills dithering the entire time while freezing out other potential candidates who didn't wanna get burned by the party, mills' campaign having the energy of "vote for me, i guess", and the leadership's apathy about my state at all

It literally is: there is no "Jewish people are native to that area, but Palestinians aren't" argument that makes sense, because both groups are descended from the same bronze age and iron age levantine peoples

If jewish people have a familial claim to that land, so do other branches of the family

Yeah: Jewish people do have a connection to that land, but its exactly the same connection Palestinians have to that land so it can't be used as a reason to kick them out.

remains wild to me that the GOP is the party that's actually treating their opponents like they're an immediate and dire threat that must be eliminated at all costs meanwhile the Dems are like "hmm not sure I totally agree with all of this but let's hear these guys out, just in case"

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

"Americans aren't like us, that's why we back the americans every time they do something stupid in the middle east"

But he's very clearly not following the evidence, though.

Are you knowingly lying to us, or just ignorant?

So, in the past White People were victims of a holocaust, and it would be inappropriate to talk about eliminating them worldwide when you're mad at one specific group of white people?

Fascinating, tell me more about this White Holocaust.

No, she isn't, she literally said she doesn't care if the blowback she creates hits Jewish people in general not just Israelis, and she's using nazi-era rhetoric targeted at Jewish people in general not just Israelis.

No amount of crying, screaming, and throwing up on your part can change that.

Do you really think that's a valid comparison here?

Do you think that's really a valid comparison here?

Susan does, or at least openly says she doesn't care if the two get conflated to the point blowback against Israelis becomes blowback against all Jewish people worldwide. Its literally in the screenshot you're replying to.

So she's allowed to be racist against all Jews everywhere and use literal nazi rhetoric in response?

Come on now.

No, they aren't.

The fact that Mamdani criticized Susan Abulhawa - who has pretty definitively crossed the line between anti-Zionism and antisemitism - should be a reason for Jewish organizations to thank him for showing solidarity. But I'm not holding my breath.

What does that have to do with 'rootless parasites' exactly?

And 'rootless'? The reasoning behind including that bit?

Parasite is not a 'mild' word when thrown at jewish people, that's the shit nazis said to justify stealing their property and throwing them in death camps

Existence of Mamdani in the media criticism discourse is so useful because it demonstrates what the media could be doing to Trump if they ACTUALLY thought that he was an aberrant threat to our Republic. Not that you need to do this for Trump but: You can just write negative stories based on nothing!

And whether you like it or not, Khalil was objectively using his right to free speech. That is objectively true. It is a fact. It isn't "anodyne" to say so. But what can one expect from The Atlantic magazine?

This article though is pretty funny in that it claims that Mamdani's view that Israel has committed genocide is an unpopular one. Actually it is definitionally popular among Democrats, more than 75% of all Democratic voters agree with him according to the most recent polling.

Where Mamdani Has Refused to Moderate The New York City mayor is not soft-pedaling his views on Israel.

It is amusing to see so many people on the left flank say that Mamdani has endlessly and needlessly moderated without a hard limit on Palestine and then see so many on the right flank say Mamdani has refused to moderate on Palestine whatsoever.

To all the folks noting the subtle conflation of recreational weed (not allowed to advertise on broadcast media, not allowed in two dozen states) and gambling (legal under federal law, on every fucking medium you see)... you are valid, and don't let yourself get spun up by the squares like this dork

It is in fact better for us as a nation to go renewable as quickly as possible.

It’s just not better for Exxon.

Exxon is never going to sell you gas for $4.99 when it could sell someone somewhere else gas for $10.99.

The idea that we can be “energy independent” while on fossil fuels by simply pumping more of them out of the ground is predicated on shutting your eyes and pretending that the global economy does not exist.
