bro this is literally what bush said about Iraq

A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.

what Democrats can do, as a party, is provide unambigous moral leadership in opposition.

or well, they could if a third of the caucus and virtually all of leadership didn't support it

Oh lol Trump and Israel launch an illegal war on Iran and Jamelle Bouie goes after Hasan ofc

if there’s any “terrorism” that happens on us soil now, you will never be able to convince me nor millions of other americans that it wasn’t israel and america conducting it together to rally the masses to support an insanely unpopular war.

jamelle bouie, too stupid to understand a country that's engaged repeatedly in false flag operations, sponsored terrorism, etc... might do that to its "allies"

it's always the same circles, huh? Meanwhile Jamelle Bouie shares false smear allegations against palestinian activist Hasan Piker, written by white-supremacist conspiratorial eugenicist writer

and shame on jamelle bouie for retweeting this garbage. i hope your pro-israel, pro-genocide paycheck from nyt is worth pushing the manufacturing of consent in real time

A post reposted by Jamelle Bouie from conservative Joe Stieb Stieb says “This, too, is anti Semetic, and also completely insane” To a post posted by Hasan Abi which reads “if there’s any “terrorism” that happens on us soil now, you will never be able to convince me nor millions of other Americans that it wasn’t Israel and America conducting it together to rally the masses to support an insanely unpopular war”

A day after sending hoards of people after a small trans account, @jamellebouie.net is now reposting a conservative spreading zionist rhetoric. But surely he is simply just the one “good one” working for the NYTs right?

Jamelle Bouie is specifically platforming a writer for the white-supremacist conspiratorial anti-semitic far-right "Quillette", @emericanjezebel.bsky.social

quillette.com/author/josep...

Jamelle Bouie retweeting a post calling Hasan Piker antisemitic and then quietly undoing that after backlash is not something I saw coming, lmao. My man maybe take your head out of books written about the 1860's and learn a little bit about the 2020's.

was Jamelle Bouie being “usually correct” when he said that “ICE agents need training” was effective rhetoric after ICE murdered a woman in broad daylight

Jamelle Bouie has a long history of disparaging trans women.

It is disgusting to see people act like this is somehow an isolated misunderstanding instead of a clear behavioral pattern.

i don’t think Jamelle Bouie should quit his job. i do think he has horrible judgement & lacks the conviction to live by his supposed values.

this kind of repeated behavior does not demonstrate integrity:

I don't think Jamelle Bouie is evil, or even malicious, but I do think that like most other liberal journalists he is unequipped to face the present moment, arrogant, and not just uninterested in but dismissive of his own complicity with the structural oppression of others.

Man, Jamelle Bouie really will say any old bullshit to justify taking his paycheck from the New York Times, huh

And people of that stature always do this thing, where after getting roundly criticized, they pick the *most extreme* replies they get to single out and be like "see my critics are insane, can't be reasoned with"

It's slimy behavior.

Ingroup solidarity is very strong amongst journalists.

Both because of the need to network to get any of the ever shrinking number of jobs and because they don't want to set the precedent the peasants would be justified in criticising *them*.

"Don't ever waste time defending someone who makes more money than you do" has been a pretty good rule of thumb for me.

Sure states have begun the process of depersoning trans people but the real problem is that a guy who just reposted a right wing freak smearing Hasan might have gotten a rude reply on the internet. Anyway, unrelated question, but why doesn't anyone trust journalists anymore???

I'm not going to get into the weeds but I think it's bad actually when a NYT writer, regardless of who it is, shows their ass a bit regarding a marginalized group and every journo on here decides the best thing to do is stand united in blaming the group for being too rude

Friendly reminder the entire reason newspaper columnists were added to the papers was to be a mouthpiece for whatever the gentry owners of newspapers believed (The Newspaper Axis).

This is still true. Columnists serve the interests of their newspapers' owners. That's why they're paid so much!

hot take but it was obvious back in 2024 that Trump and his orbit were lying about being the “peace candidate” but the Democrats couldn’t effectively counter that because they were too busy making excuses for genocide and yammering about how we gotta be the “most lethal fighting force on the planet”

A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

The most evil people on the planet trying to buy yet another election.

"HEY ITS NO FAIR DOING BACK TO US WHAT WE DO TO ANYONE WE WANT WITH IMPUNITY!" - every gulf state ally getting hit

ITS THE OIL. The EPSTEIN CLASS wants the OIL and tax payer dollars in the form of MILITARY CONTRACTS.

And the working class people from Iran to the US are just cannon fodder for the sake of their PROFIT.

So let me get this straight, a theocratic ethnonationalist nation, ISRAEL, supported by a conservative patriarchal government, the USA, is freeing IRANIAN girls from a theocratic conservative patriarchal government by *checks notes* bombing an IRANIAN GIRLS' SCHOOL!?!?

They must think we're stupid.

Neoliberalism is dead. It is simply a matter of Democrats coming to terms with its demise, as opposed to still trying to parade around its rotting corpse.

Over population is a mirage because we do not allow humans to naturally flow and move and we've made food a commodity and enclosed the commons. 😭😭😭
