Sounds like you know nothing about communism. Communism ≠ authoritarianism. This is authoritarianism, it can happen under any economic and political system.

Sending thoughts and prayers tonight to Matt Yglesias, Jonathan Chait, Ritchie Torres, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and many more.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

An editorial cartoon of MLK standing in front of chaos and wreckage with the words, "I plan to lead another non-violent march tomorrow"

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

Freedom Flotilla Coalition € The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white irritant substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio. 4 3 1 • 17:49 PM

If your response to this is “red states got what they voted for,” your indifference to human suffering makes me sick.

Holocaust We've surpassed a horrifying moment when the word 'genocide' is not enough to describe the Israeli government's atrocities upon the Palestinian people

Dr. Alaa al-Najjar left her 10 children at home when she went to work in the emergency room. Hours later, the bodies of 7 of her children arrived, most of them badly burned. In total, the Israeli military killed 9 of her 10 children by burning them to death. Horrific.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Lawyer for Venezuelans deported to El Salvador prison arrested Ruth López held without access to lawyers at secret location accused of ‘embezzlement’ a decade ago

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

And this is why you don’t fall political charades ppl

Idk what that even means but grow up. If you want to engage in political conversation then maybe stop responding like you’re in middle school.

Do you call anyone that disagrees with you a Russian troll? Maybe you’re just a bootlicker

Interesting you speak of democracy then when ppl use their democratic right to vote how they please or not vote at all, it’s frowned upon bc they didn’t vote how YOU want them to. Democracy doesn’t work like that. If Dems want more voters, they can learn to adhere to their constituents.

So quick to blame voters rather than holding politicians accountable. Last time I checked it was their job to protect us.

Deflecting much? You clearly don’t pay attention if you don’t think ppl are giving Trump the same “heat.” You never paid attention when it was Biden killing children but now Trump does it and it’s bad all of a sudden. They’re both awful people. Talk about fake ass views

Right, that one struck a chord bc you know it’s true. You wouldn’t have bc that would’ve directly impacted you and your ancestors. Ppl harass Trump daily and he deserves the same fate. War criminals don’t deserve sympathy, neither did slave owners.

Cancer is awful but it’s hard to have sympathy for a man that actively funded the brutal slaughter of children. His diagnoses doesn’t absolve him from the damage he’s done. He has the means to get proper treatment while the ppl he paid to bomb never did. Would you have had sympathy for slave owners?

Only caring about the what the U.S. is doing when a Republican is in office is the reason we now have a president like Trump. He didn’t happen in a vacuum and is a product of years of oppression of black & brown ppl on a domestic & global level. So pls tell me which cult I’m in for calling out trash

Do you know me? Do you know what I do and don’t talk about? Do you follow me on other social media to see what I have been outspoken about? No you don’t so save it. U.S. imperialism has done numbers on Africa and it’s not just Trumps doing but the U.S. as a whole. Your precious Obama destroyed Libya

Calling for a ceasefire then sending billions of dollars and weapons is a bit hypocritical don’t you think?

Lisa that man facilitated a genocide of innocent people. There is plenty to criticize him on. Y’all sound like Trump supporters in a cult when you speak like this. No politician is above critique and I’m not going to thank him for doing his job

Damn the U.S. propaganda machine did overtime in your brain

I don't get how it's so hard to understand that being able to threaten to cut off aid and leave people to die was always *the entire fucking point*. It's truly unbelievable that people think the United States were helping other countries out of the goodness of their hearts.

If you say you love freedom but you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom. It’s privilege.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

The kids won't remember but many liberals justified the Iraq war on humanitarian grounds - and denounced those who didn't as lacking in, well, humanitarianism, and you can predict precisely where all these people are on the humanitarian issue of the moment

One dream I have is that one day physical scientists and biological scientists recognize that they don’t have the same systemic training in social analysis that their colleagues in the humanities and social sciences do and that this means we need help when it comes to doing politics
