the left has a serious and growing anti-semitism problem and it is deluded to claim otherwise. it is less serious than the right's growing anti-semitism, but it is still extremely bad.
I'm sorry, this is the Great Leftist Savior? Does anyone happen to know what happened in the Indian Wars, the Philippines, Vietnam, or El Salvador?
"Susan Collins made me do Nazi-stuff." - The Graham Platner Story.
Graham Platner repeatedly claiming Susan Collins sent him to Iraq when in fact he joined the Marines after the war started is peak slopulism
@jamellebouie.net
Graham Platner enlisted after the Iraq War started. So far all the many faults with Susan Collins, she actually did not vote to send *him* to Iraq.
“The more they talk about it, the more I get to talk about the fact that I got that because I was a combat Marine…Susan Collins voted to send me to Iraq. It was the fighting I took part in, in Iraq, that resulted in me and other machine gunners getting a skull-and-crossbones tattoo.”
Uhhh
i’ve mostly refrained from commenting on platner and ultimately it’s up to the people of maine who they want to vote for but every new thing i learn about this guy sucks
Not sure I'm a big fan of the left's recent "Everyone in our opposition is secretly working for AIPAC, and the most important thing is opposing AIPAC" turn
X is a cesspool of antisemitism, and it’s not just right-wing accounts
2k likes for, "u know what, maybe them preschoolers would've had it coming. clean target."
It’s a good policy to simply never support stochastic terrorism, vigilante violence, or revenge killings of any kind
I know it makes ppl mad at me for saying this, but justifying the Luigi shooting contributed to justifying the Israeli diplomats shooting which is just a step away from justifying bombing a synagogue with ties to Israel, which ppl are actually doing rn... we need to get away from the violent urges.
Grim is and has always been a big ol’ dummy
It’s funny to me how these people are obsessed with AI or animated depictions of themselves
Also he’s still in jeans here.
A generous way to describe this is that some people are, for some combination of emotional, ideological, and personal political reasons, committed to the idea that the only options are all or none, and there's no such thing as relatively better or relatively worse.
Max loves you and wants you to charge your phone away from your bed.
We’re not going to know until it happens, but it’s a coin flip right now between “civil rights disaster” and “economic disaster”

Oh yeah I mean it’s just the mafia with soccer balls
Important to stress that most of the U.S. host cities also fall within the 100-mile border zone within which CBP can operate with considerable leeway

I don’t see how we’re gonna host the WC without having people wrongfully detained as they enter the country or without DHS behaving badly in more than one host city.
Attendance is free, and our speakers are generously donating their time and energy.
But if you want to help us do more events like this, consider donating to Pulaski's 2026 fundraiser:

The moral position would be to not hold the World Cup in the U.S. at this point. But the moral position would also have been to not have Russia or Qatar host. FIFA doesn’t care and has never really cared.
But I do think we should be ready for things to go sideways this summer
YouTube sponsorships don’t sound real.
What do you mean you’re trying to sell me scented air to drink water with
Oh yeah I totally trust “zocdoc” to find me a good doctor
And ah yes GenericNameVPN definitely sounds reliable
I agree with this sentiment! Although you don’t have. To do the Southern accent as Miller is SoCal’s fascist export
For what my opinion's worth, I can't imagine President Miller passing up the opportunity to show heathen furriners they're not welcome in the US of A ...
