One thing that scares the bejesus out of me is how many American liberal Jewish Zionists believe Israel is a safe haven for us should the worst happen all the while completely not understanding how entirely reliant Israel is upon Americas patronage. Like just completely delusional madness

I don’t have a joke or anything pithy to say about this, because seeing this man co-opt the language of the left makes me physically ill.
Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.

This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

Abolition is the moderate position.

Thinking back fondly to an argument I got into here on the app with someone who claimed it was incorrect and unfair (!) to call Cheney a war criminal, because the US isn’t subject to the ICC. Real letter of the law shit I suspect we’ll see a lot more of soon. Fun!

VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT WILL WORK TO EARN YOUR VOTE

Tomorrow is election day, TN-7, and I'm humbly asking for your vote. I promise to be accessible and only beholden to the voters of the district, never donors or special interests. Polls open at 7 AM & close at 7 PM. Let's go out and win this!

The crushing thing about this is that inescapable feeling that nothing will indeed happen, because we're already suspended too many layers up on load-bearing piles of bullshit when it comes to the American military and what it's been up to since World War II ended

The strikes are both a violation of international law but also the US Constitution - incredibly telling that Democrats refuse to stand up for either

This is why arguments about whether or not these ICE agents are “legitimate” are a waste of time. Law enforcement agencies — with ZERO exceptions — are racist perpetrators of supralegal violence and incalculable terror.
ICE is horrific...and also an extension of how policing has always worked, not a radical break from it.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

some folks have agitated over dsa not endorsing the guy challenging jeffries but i maybe wanna challenge us to look beyond electoralism. if we’re going to do vietnam in venezuela, imo americans need to respond like we did in the 60s, and that wasn’t just at the ballot box if you catch my drift.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

This is a harrowing piece, and it’s critical to understanding the breadth of targeted harm being done globally to the LGBTQ+ community, to sex workers, and to the poor.

Trump Gutted AIDS Health Care at the Worst Possible Time
By the first World AIDS Day of his second term, Trump gutted LGBTQ+ employment globally and put humanity at greater risk of AIDS.
