How Political Affiliation is Identity Politics and Leftism is Action AKA: So, You Wanna be a Leftist

"It is not an error that capitalism has lead to this fascist moment in history, it is the logical conclusion of events in history that have been unfolding since the Industrial revolution."

When exploitation is required, there must be violent enforcement for the system to work.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Fuck Gavin Newsome actually.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

BBC News: Do you think you were a witness to war crimes?

American veteran who worked at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution center: Without question I witnessed war crimes.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

Wow I bet abundance liberalism will stop the ocean currents from reversing and house everyone in the face of insurance collapse and climate destruction

I’m not a fan of “unfettered”feudalism. I just like the feudalism where the lords have to give an extra 5% of yields to the peasants

The Supreme Court Has Dealt Another Devastating Blow to Women The court's ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood twists logic, common sense, and the law to further the right-wing assault on bodily autonomy.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights.
It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think.

This ruling is very, very bad

Andrés Spokoiny i WW @Spokoiny Follow No, Mamdani won't enact a single anti-Jewish measure. I don't even know what those would be. But that's not the point. The point is that 400K of my neighbors don't care that he makes Jews feel unsafe. That's the real tragedy here. 8:38 PM • 6/24/25 • 125K Views

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

If we hit our goal ($50k to go!) by Sunday night, we’ll make merch of me flipping off a transphobe.

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement

The NYT:

DNC looking over the cliff like the Grinch saying "We must stop socialism from coming ... but HOW?"

every leftist politician in america needs to follow the mamdani formula. he is the case study for the future

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations.

He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

They will call you a communist anyway! We must work on educating people on what that means and removing their ability to use it as a slur

i’m so fucking fed up with this shit. when journalism outlets can’t even accurately and honestly say what’s happening to journalists—that they’re being attacked by cops and federal jackboots—then we are really and truly cooked. under scrutiny!!!!! i can’t. i can’t.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options:

1-877-447-4487

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

If you're not willing to eat on $6 a day then don't you dare expect the children in my district to do the same.

Running from instead of on progressive values is demoralizing. Saps base of morale required to act as your choir. Cedes moral high ground to opposition who keep bludgeoning you with hate-fueled version of the topic.
