The entirety of the left/liberal friction in Democratic Party politics is summarized by how one looks at basically anything Hakeem Jeffries says and if your reaction is "Jesus fucking Christ we could do so much better than this" or "I like the way he's not Donald Trump"
That's it. That's all of it.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

I don't enjoy any of the mainline Star Wars movies after the original trilogy.
I don't like them because I don't want to keep following the repetitive adventures of the same group of entitled Special Boys and Special Girls.
I don't really like dynasties.
I bring this up for no particular reason.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Hey, @jvl.bsky.social.
I just saw the first two minutes of a recent video and wanted to offer you an opportunity to discuss psychology as a scientific discipline.
I'm a former assistant professor of psychology and would be willing to put on my robe again to clarify some things for you.

I know it is going to sound strange, but I am entering this holiday season with such relief.
Everything reminds me of what I was feeling after the election last year, and what I was feeling was the possibility of successfully totalitarian fascism and sudden collapse.
I'm celebrating their failure.

We are in a bad place, but we have the tools and the opportunity and the courage to find our way out.
A year ago, I feared that would not be the case.
We still have to DO it, of course.
But now, I have faith and belief that there's a path.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

-Uncleared sidewalks are a moral statement (even if it is just the curb cuts)
If grandma can't roll over the snow to catch the bus, it isn't good enough.

What do you know Gallego is a fascist. Weird if only someone had been pointing that out for months only to be called a conspiracy theorist and a doomer….

It's a statement of intolerance directed right at my trans TA, thus violating syllabus.
