"The term 'ethnic cleansing' was first applied to the crimes against humanity and genocide in Bosnia - Herzogovina. The world press and U.S. called the massacres 'ethnic cleansing' from 1991 until 1995."

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

who's "us"? did someone sneak into Platner's house a decade ago and give him a nazi tattoo?

like...this isn't contrition, or trying to do better. this isn't acknowledging a mistake or admitting that people have reasonable concerns.

If they thought that any of this would stop us or deter us: they clearly don't understand our movement, and they don't understand Marines.

Seen more than a few people say that this is DEI or affirmative action. It's not, and we should not use the right's framing of what those programs are.

You run primaries so that your party fields the strongest possible candidate — tested, proven.

Simply put, the Maine Democratic primary has done its job with regard to Platner.

We don't mistake the opinions of random losers like this for political expertise

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

The notion that an authentic working class party must embrace Nazi iconography?

That's some of the most insulting shit I've ever fucking heard.

You've deliberately conflated "blue collar" with "nazi scum" so fuck you.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Impossible to take anyone on substack seriously as "anti-fascist".

There are alternatives. Use them.

I'm seeing some "Bernie would never say that" takes:

Eric Garcia is an actual journalist, his work has consistently demonstrated journalistic integrity — he would not fabricate an entire exchange with a sitting United States Senator.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...
= IHUFFPOSTI "Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

ICE shooting Richard Noticias LA today would be SECOND time they hospitalized him.

On June 13, DHS allegedly hit him with car as he live streamed. Video months ago show him handcuffed before going to hospital.
