Center-left liberals are desperate for a “Sister Souljah Moment” to regain power. Ezra Klein’s Charlie Kirk op-ed was just that — a calculated gambit to court right-wing moderates by intentionally angering his left-wing supporters.

Wrote a piece on this yesterday👇🏾

So many people missed this when Ezra Klein wrote his defense of the right, and falsely stated the Kirk’s and Bannon’s of the world could “live with losing an election.” I called this out then, but hopefully more folks are listening now.

Tell everyone about this story. Make it the face of the ICE invasion

Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Chabeli Carrazana @chabeli.bsky.social · 1d

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

I wonder if Ezra Klein is drafting his version of “Zohran Mamdani is winning elections the wrong way”

The ADL under Jonathan Greenblatt, has become a far-right tool of Zionist extremism. No investigation has been launched into the antisemites staffing the GOP, because Trump supports the Israeli genocide, so they’re doubling down on the threat of Mamdani, while completely ignoring Trump’s Nazis.

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d

Jonathan Greenblatt declares war to the death against NYC. What a nutcase. In the meantime, antisemitism goes mainstream in the GOP, and Greenblatt says nothing.

If you replaced the word “divided” with “dissimilar,” in this poll, you’d get a similar response. Basically, 64% of Americans believe America is too diverse, and can’t function unless Anglo-Protestant culture is once again the dominant center of American life.

Hmm 🤔 Where have I heard that before?

From Saddam Hussein in Iraq, to Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, to Maduro in Venezuela — the U.S. runs the same criminal playbook in its endless wars for oil and resources.

And make no mistake, the crimes of the U.S. empire remain a bipartisan affair.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

American’s need to be giving all these corporations the Target treatment, indefinitely. Their bottom lines need to be turned blood red, until they get the message, and make restitution payments for their support of this criminal administration in the White House.

Locke, Second Treatise of Government:

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Of Tyranny

199. As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to. And this is making use of the power anyone has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law but his will the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion

A warning from Latin America: Trump is opening the door to military rule

By appointing generals to top political posts and hiking defence spending, Donald Trump is imperiling a cherished tenet of the US constitution: civilian control of the military.

And there’s still nothing preventing him from doing so, other than the will of the people to not be governed by a tyrant. If we as Americans don’t make ourselves ungovernable in the face of tyranny, the people’s house will continue being demolished on our watch.

The ballroom is a Trojan horse. After it’s done they’ll announce their real plans — replacing the White House with a Golden Palace.

H. E. Bibbs @wordsbybibbs.bsky.social · 14d

By the time we get to 2028, Trump will be openly promoting the “Triumph of the Will,” and declaring the manifest destiny of the white race/western civilization, for which he alone has saved from the “menace of the under man.”

I know Nazism when I see it.

Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 14d

I regret to inform you that Trump isn't planning to stop at the ballroom.

Also, just for the record: Napoleon, who demanded the Arc de Triomphe be built at Place de l'Etoile in 1806, died in exile in 1821.
