I am so proud of the work we have done on the campaign trail, and incredibly grateful for all the relationships we built along the way. Together, we set a new standard for park board campaigns and political campaigning city-wide.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I guess I'm back here again.

Congratulations to our comrades on the new NPC! At the DSA National Convention this past weekend, members voted to elect Kareem, Eleanor, Frances, and Cara to represent them as At-Large NPC members, and re-elected Ashik as National Co-Chair.

People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District.

It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here.

That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1.

I may post here again because Twitter is even worse with Nazis now.

🧵DSA must change into something strong enough to meaningfully influence politics on the scale of the next presidential election, potential general strike, and whatever other national ruptures may come.

So this convention, we must become a DSA For All.

For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text: Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening: First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament. He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake. He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow. The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention. He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment. While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so. The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail. Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)

Feels like the end of political liberal zionism.

"Activities aligned to Hamas" is a weird way of saying "we can't prove any connection to Hamas"

Very bad, getting worse.

(1) direct from Trump, so it’s the administration’s policy

(2) many to come

(3) conflation of material support for terrorism with generalized anti-Americanness

(4) no recognition of distinctive legal protections for green card holders

Terrifying.

One of the Left's primary goals in the next year is onboarding as many of these disaffected victims of Trump/Musk's purges onto a program and into organizations. They are highly talented and are ripe to be radicalized.

Its a war on the young, educated, & diverse.

A lot of the Anti-DEI Red Scare redux happening at the Fed level is just removing the newly hired Gen Z and young Millennial workforce in govn't of all races and genders.
