Kashing them in their lies.

A tweet from Liam Nissan says: “You sure about that?” It includes a photo of a lavish bathroom with marble counters and a chandelier, filled with stacks of boxes labeled as documents. Below, a tweet from “FBI Director Kash Patel” reads: “Anyone who threatens our national security will be held accountable,” alongside a screenshot of a news article about John Bolton being indicted for mishandling classified documents.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Shameful of the NYT to be burying No Kings on its homepage. It’s the biggest story of the day and it is appropriately leading every other new site even WSJ.

the imposter syndrome that comes with being a billionaire must be wild, like you have all this money and you know for a fact it isn't because of your ability, no wonder they actively surround themselves with sycophants, being alone with their thoughts must be torture

In Kamchatka, a man who introduced himself as a participant of the “special military operation” opened fire on a family with a three-year-old child. It all started with a road conflict - the driver cut off another car, shouting:

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

My dad fought fascism and imperialism. My dad served his country his entire life.

We all have loved ones who put their lives on the line for our country and for democracy. We must stop this fascist takeover now. #NoKings

It's slowly sinking in, hence even Moulton returning the most recent AIPAC donation, despite AIPAC being his top donor in 2024 and 2023. The Dem base will not longer accept generic platitudes about "standing with Israel" that they know translate into "Netanyahu gets whatever he wants."

This is the thing I have the hardest time convincing people of even though the polls vindicate it: Mamdani's ability to distinguish himself from the rest of the pack early on with his position on Palestine necessarily entails a Democratic primary electorate receptive to his position in the 1st place

What mattered was whether or not the pro Israel consensus could stifle all of it. Historically it could. Now it really just can't anymore. Mamdani isn't the needle mover, Mamdani is the byproduct of the needle having already moved.
