Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Politicians talk about socialism like it is some distant thing.
Socialism looks like Salem State, Middleton’s electric light department, our public libraries and New Hampshire’s liquor stores.
Anyone who has made a run up north before a party has enjoyed socialism.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

We do, and we instinctively recoil from it because we are just like everyone else
This is an argument for banning smartphones in Jewish day schools by the way. It seems she is saying that younger Jews also see what everyone else sees and it damages her pro Israel consensus within American Jewry.

I am curious to know what Democratic obsession with the West Wing has stopped progress in your job as lobbyist for Denver Public Schools
The more I get into politics the more I realize there's this insufferable Democractic political class that actually is more responsible for stopping progress because they're obsessed with the idea of The West Wing rather than Republicans who have a different vision

"Instead of choosing the executive by national plebescite, we'll choose it in the rational way: a random assortment of low-information voters in states that are relatively populous and politically closely divided."
I don't want the executive chosen by national plebescite, Elie. I've had about enough of populism and I'd think you would have too. You can fix the proportionality problem with a bigger House, but as a resident of Rhode Island, I will keep my 4 ECs, thank you :)

Tbh I’m not shocked Trump got along better with Zohran than people expected.
In my own experience in Colorado politics and as a DSA member, I often get along way better w/ many Republicans at the Capitol than Corporate Democrats.

imagine “i mean to squeeze your cheeks to open your mouth” coming out of a garbage disposal. don’t act like you’re above it, you follow me and you’re here. it’s the worst fucking shit imaginable, and we are all going to suffer it together.
fucking cowards everywhere say things like “none of these words are in the bible” and “my eyes” and “who are these people”, but if you know who they are, i fucking know better, and all of you are stuck in here with me and do not get to pretend you’re above this gossip that sends us all to hell.

This is another reason that it is important to maintain the recognition of antisemitism as a concept instead of abandoning it to the people and institutions who use it as a bad faith accusation against anyone who criticizes Israel. It is a useful framing to identify reactionary faux-populism.
The talk of this anti establishment non partisan populism is legitimately just antisemitism is a coat, don't really understand how people aren't seeing this
