True opposition would require becoming a true party of the working class but they only want to defeat fascism if they get to go back to neoliberalism

Can someone with NYC connections explain to me why we hate Jessica Tisch? She doesn't seem uniquely offensive to me from what I can gather online. Do people just assume she's going to sabotage him cause she comes from wealth? Feels like simplistic logic

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.
It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

I have never seen such a determined effort to end university education as we know it. Conservatives really at war with reality.

Left wing campism really strikes me as "only the country with the most political power can be imperialist"
Nvm that Putin wants to recreate the Russian Empire (and not the USSR), because creating the Russian Empire is anti-America that makes it good, apparently.

If this was in China they'd plaster it on Times Square, CNN and FOX would run it hourly.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

This is the bit on seizing jewellery. Perhaps shave their heads as well, could get good money for all that hair? But again, this is likely to create lots of bureaucracy yet have little real-world effect because it is so hard to do in practice.

I so desperately wanna tell the folks on discord who told me I was being unreasonable when I said Starmer would be worse than Tony Blair for the uk labour party "I told you so" but that's not how you change minds

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself?
We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails.
Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

Never thought the "erm, actually, it's "hebophilia" defense would get national airtime
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Boring take: if Mamdani ends up being a disappointment it'll be because of the inherent futility of socialist politics in the current system, not because he's "controlled opposition" or "not a real socialist".

The way I see it: Mamdani will either capitulate to the establishment figures he's so keen to "work with," or they'll not work with him.
I genuinely think it's too early to tell, seeing as he's not even sworn in. In the hours after the primary, it looked like Cuomo would drop out.

Longtime Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is retiring after four decades in Congress. Her challenger called it a "long-overdue generational shift" after Pelosi spent the latter part of her career beating back progressive policies.
