it's pretty cool that these days SMC's position is treated as common sense by almost all of DSA and the left

Find yourself a man that looks at you the way Trump looks at Zohran

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Archbishop of York describes Israeli action against Palestinians in Gaza as ‘genocidal acts’ West Bank subject to regime of ‘apartheid’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’, he says in interview

In an interview with Church Times, the Archbishop of York Cottrell talked about his visit to occupied Palestinian territory and for the first time ever publicly calls Israel's system of control over Palestinians an apartheid regime.

Cottrell also says Israel has committed genocidal acts.

My name is Diana Moreno. I’m a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer, and a proud democratic socialist with @socialists.nyc.

I’m running to replace @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social in the Assembly in the upcoming special election to deliver on his affordability agenda and fight the rising tide of fascism.

DSA is dispatching the Red Rabbits and the defunct or never fully established Antifa Working Group to serve as your guard ma'am

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

*this is batshit insane*

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

…weird framing NYTimes

Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan asked El-Sayed how he would respond if and when he faces questions on the campaign trail about whether he supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. El-Sayed initially responded by calling the question hypocritical and again dodged when pressed. He said that most U.S. presidents have expressed support for a two-state solution, and “Israel exists. Palestine doesn’t. And so I always wonder why nobody asks me why Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist.” El-Sayed accused the U.S. of supporting “the very people in Israel who want to foreclose on the possibility of Palestine existing.” “And so to me, frankly, it is about our principles and how we apply them evenly. If you believe in a two-state solution, then what are you doing to make it possible?” he continued.

“Israel exists. Palestine doesn’t. And so I always wonder why nobody asks me why Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist.” - Abdul el-Sayed, candidate for Senate in Michigan.

i dont think the party is going to fight unless someone in leadership loses their job in a primary. we need an eric cantor moment.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

One Weird Trick to Get Rid of Chuck Schumer - The American Prospect Multiple Democratic groups, House members, and candidates say it’s time for the Senate minority leader to go. It turns out any single Senate Democrat can force a vote on Schumer’s job.

Many are calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation. What hasn't been reported until now is that any Senate Democrat can offer a motion to challenge his leadership position, and it would have to get a vote within 7 days. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

The crazy thing about Senate Dems caving for a vote in the Senate, but not the House, is that it will give Senate Republicans up for re-election (Susan Collins) the chance to vote for ACA subsidy reinstatement with total security that it will never become law.

you cannot create a viable third party without changing the constitution.

to change the constitution, you need control of one of the major political parties, at minimum.

anyone refusing to accept this is a fucking child i'm tired of entertaining.

wedge for markey

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

We are all mug now

the sacred texts

As far as I'm concerned, the case against working to change the Democratic Party from within through electoral politics collapsed with Mamdani's win last Tuesday. Doesn't mean the left will inevitably win or that it won't be a grueling struggle. But ... I mean, come on.
