Yeah, I occasionally see comments along the lines of “they’re just kidnapping and beating and murdering people to distract us from the Epstein Files,” and I’m concerned that that mindset distracts us from the fact that they’re kidnapping and beating and murdering people.

Like yes they also literally learned some tactics from IDF!

we are in a big fascist “yes and“ situate

Obviously these issues matter. I am deeply concerned about the economy collapsing, and the fact that I’m paying TWICE as much for health insurance as I was last year. But the president attempting to wage war on his own people and our allies simultaneously should be the first thing out of your mouth.

I hate that phrase because it implies that the ethnicities they want to get rid of are somehow "unclean". That's fascist talk, not descriptive.

Half the time it is. Or else half the app is the website.

We send forces into Syria, Venezuela, Sudan, and elsewhere, to see if any refugees need a lift. I appear on talking head TV shows, looking serious and intent, talking about how race isn't real, but even if it were, it'd be a bad way to organize immigration policy.

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires.

Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him.

I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Gavin Newsom spent the last 7 years doing the bidding of big tech. You can blame him for many of the harms we're now suffering. We have spent the last 7 years trying to keep our unhoused neighbors alive despite Newsom's best efforts to make more people homeless while he and his friends get richer.
