one of the funniest meltdowns from israel about the coming deal to end the war with iran i’ve seen so far

Fox News: “Susan Collins votes with the president 95% of the time. She saved Brett Kavanaugh with that speech on the Senate floor.” I’m Graham Platner and I approve this message.

One candidate is bashing their opponent for ties to Trump and that opponent is bashing her for her ties to...local unions. Really says it all, doesn't it? I, for one, am going to be ranking Janeese

One interesting name among McDuffie's donors: Jeff Wall, Trump's former solicitor general and personal lawyer. JLG has been hitting McDuffie in debates over taking money from Trump donors: her allies found 22 have given his campaign about $4k (and given Trump about $193k)

My friend Sleepy needs more friends and more support. If you see this can you please give her a follow and be her friend? She could really use help right now.

whole states have stopped their election processes faster than the Biden administration was able to respond to an opinion that had already been leaked months earlier. i don't mean this as a random jab; republicans just understand power in a way that dems do not.

interesting thing is that a lot of people keep speculating that graham platner is going to have a “john fetterman” pivot but fetterman and platner have been openly feuding back and forth for months now

Janet Mills suspending her campaign for Senate. BlueSky is not going to be happy with this one lmao.

My goal is to build 72K new homes in 5 years. When Marion Barry said he was going connect youth to summer jobs, they said it was impossible. They said that about Vincent Gray's plan for Universal Pre-K. That's what leaders do. They set ambitious plans and make it happen.

Ward 7 Dems / WUSA9 debate 🧵 This campaign is about a simple question: Who do you trust to show up and fight for all of us in all 8 wards. My record: Blocked extreme rent increases, banned utility shutoffs after Pepco overcharged us, and put money in the pockets of families by expanding EITC.

Thoughts on this?

friends, I have brought you a gift

ICYMI — “No one wants to fight for Israel!” Marine veteran Brian McGinnis had his hand injured as AIPAC-backed Senator Sheehy (R) & joined Capitol Police officers in physically removing him as he spoke out against Trump and Bibi’s war.

If you are an anti-imperialist who is active in opposing American imperialism abroad and the genocide in Gaza, I will not critique you for taking a consistent anti-imperialist stance. But if you are merely a liberal, who generally supports the Dem establishment, your faves have all done worse.

He literally willingly aided and abetted the genocide of the Palestinian people. A genocide he could have stopped at any point. I hope he feels a fraction of the pain he’s caused this world.

Ew what the hell is he doing

The New York Times needs to be shut down.

Would you like a place to discuss your favorite radical works with comrades weekly? Would you like to be exposed to more revolutionary theory? Would you like a place to share your own writings, poems or journalism? Then join the Literature Club! All leftists are welcome!

JD Vance is a liar. It is the right wing and not the left that is a threat to safety and peace

Just watched Eddington last night and HOLY SHIT

I don’t get it. Is Taylor Lorenz claiming the Nazis are masking?

If your conception of Democracy is the United States or the UK then you have no idea what democracy even is. Those are not democratic societies and they are less free and more authoritarian than the socialist societies you mentioned as well.

Another dividing factor is the level of electoral discipline and standards you are willing to impose on endorsed candidates. SMC, the furthest right “viable” DSA caucus, basically resists all accountability, but GW, a center right caucus has expressed some openness after AOC’s Iron Dome comments.

This is not really correct, or at least you’re being a bit dishonest here. There are pockets of the DSA left who don’t think running candidates at all is useful but they are a rump faction these days. The main division is running on the Dem Ballot line always or occasionally indie campaigns.

Home is a great song. Idk how anyone could call it cringe.

Genocide was the main reason 2020 Biden voters in swing states stayed home in 2024. (www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection...) Half of Biden voters were calling the genocide a genocide as early as January 2024.

Yeah and that’s a good thing because the system doesn’t work. It serves the wealthy only. Direct public anger against the rich. Foster it. Tear them down, to stop fascism.

Oh Trump has absolutely been caught on tape fucking kids huh?
