I gotta start doing my series of “Anarchist Dominatrix/ Policy Researcher/ Psychotherapist Explains How Power Works” clips because I fear this is too confusing for too many of you when it should be pretty obvious that— God forgive me— he dommed Trump.
That press conference is the wildest footage I’ve ever seen. Trump gleefully agreed that he’s a “fascist” and “despot,” and that the US has used taxes to support “Israeli genocide.”
And he smiled at and defended Mamdani with an affection I’ve literally never seen him direct at anyone before.
Wut.

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”
TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”
ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

Have to believe the COP30 venue is a psyop to convince negotiators of the urgency to address climate change. There's now been:
🔥A fire that burned through the plastic venue
🌊Frequent flooding due to improper drainage
🌡️Inadequate AC for a tropical location
🚨Lax security to stop protesters
