Pinning this tweet, for centrist liberals who try to scold me for saying, "that both the parties are the same."

They are the same on the things that matter and they will unify with the Republicans to beat The Left.

This is the ostensible "leader of the party" carrying water for the right.

Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

They weren’t accusing Israel of lying so she didn’t care.

There were massive protests against the Iraq war and they also never covered those. It took them nearly 2 years to even mention the word “genocide” in relation to Gaza. They’ve always been state media.

These are the same class of people who lost to Donald Trump twice. Strategic and brilliant thinkers in touch with the voting public and their everyday material conditions they are not.

Given the @dfl.org hostility to its Minneapolis residents and the work of @mplsdfl.org I would say that this is what the state leadership wants at this point.

20 years at my job. No, my response is exactly proportionate to how annoying you started off as and continue to be. I hate annoying people, and you are most certainly that.

Unless you’re a slovenly obese fatass who can’t move around without a mobility scooter I’m pretty confident I can fold you into a locker. Anything to get pedants like you to shut up and leave the normal people alone.

I’m pointing out my observation that being on the left in conservative areas tends to breed a more pugilistic demeanor. Now shut the fuck before I stuff you in a locker, nerd.

There is a certain type of liberal that because they live in very conservative areas and tend to be abnormally spicy. I’ve noticed a similar trend with rural leftists, those ones seem to be ready for civil war at the drop of a hat.

The “I’ve had it” ladies are so cool. They give me hope that the liberal wine mom sect can radicalize into something good.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

Minneapolis is a union town! Workers deserve a living wage and an affordable home. Mayor Frey turned his back on workers when he vetoed the Labor Standards Board and proposed gutting co-enforcement. As Mayor, I'll champion workers, and ensure our workforce can stay in Minneapolis.

In general we really are not that much more enlightened than our ancestors.

Our ancestors knew what we knew about humanity and did that stuff anyway. Just as our government is doing all this crazy stuff knowing it is bad.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Or they’ve arrested some poor innocent girl and are torturing her for information that can’t possibly give to them.
