Big tent party doesn’t mean giving every hateful ideology a seat at the table alongside normal people. Hateful losers do vote though and they should vote for democrats out of self interest but that doesn’t mean that any old nonsense deserves to be “heard out” whether it’s someone denying that
If people want to be “antipalestinian dems” (not even pro Israel, but anti Palestinian) then they need to be treated like antiabortion Dems, anti trans dems, and anti black dems. They need to be shown the door when they show up with stupid ass ahistorical nonsense.

Whenever anyone pivots from "here's this horrible thing the Republicans did" to "and this shows how bad both parties are," feel free to ignore/scorn/block them.
Wether it’s Vivek attacking a sexual assault victim or Acton being assaulted as a 12yo, both sides are at fault. Thank you for having the courage to say this Joe Manchin

I used to work at a movie theater. It was ok for a while, and I got to see a lot of free movies off-hours til I was sick. But it wasn’t meaningful and I don’t imagine it was. I would never buy or hold stock in a theater chain. I wouldn’t credit it with cultivating a love of film. It was $7.25/hr
Oh please. I did a lot of meaningless work to *get* to a career, but even my 25 years at the War College were mostly a slog. I've had *meaningful* work twice: Teaching undergrads, and writing. The rest of it, not so much. That's why it's called "work" Not everyone gets to be an astronaut.

These things cost money tho. That’s the big problem underneath all healthcare reform proposals
🧪 A new study found care recommended by LLMs costs 3.2x more than plans from treating physicians ($314 vs. $97 per visit at Medicare rates). Across 200 real clinical encounters, AI ordered 5.6x more specialist referrals and nearly 2x as many new medications. #MedSky

There is a serious problem with anti-Dem activists being treated with outsized credulity. “El Sayed eats fried chicken??? Racist!!!” Is the kind of take Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson would be dragged for in ordinary times.
I’m working with a black - Jewish coalition that’s against el Sayyed. His stunts - like eating fried chicken at a gas station - aren’t going over well.
Good on @thewartardis.bsky.social for calling it out. We gotta keep calling it out until these racists realize they aren’t welcome
