It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Haven't had a TV since 2022 lol. My computer that doesn't have a microphone is perfectly fine for me

this is not a person. you cannot watch this and think that thing sitting across from Mehdi is a real human being. it feels nothing and believes nothing. it has no immortal soul. there is nothing inside it. if you cut it open you'd find old fiberglass insulation and mouse skeletons.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

What is wrong with Dem leadership? They trip over themselves to meet with Jared Kushner but are mum on the political targeting racism and harassment of their own members.

Still nothing from Schumer.

This lady has been in politics since the Bill Clinton administration and thinks that, if Haley Stevens had won the primary, Republicans "literally" would have "nothing to campaign against her on."

FWIW, most MAGA people probably believe Amy Acton’s stepfather raped her. But they think being a rape victim Is disqualifying. I get this from my family. They believe I was raped in college. They just use that as their reason to call me crazy and say my judgment is untrustworthy.

I’m most upset at the right and the media but I have enough anger left over for the democrats who enabled this shit. From Obama and Clinton turning the page to Biden praising McConnell, punting on prosecuting and welcoming Trump back and Harris palling around w Cheney. All of it.

youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"

It’s almost comical how reliably my posts go viral when I criticize electoral politics for prioritizing the status quo comfort and assimilation over meaningful change. Nothing proves my point quite like a bunch of liberals yelling at a trans person to get in line and stop expressing disappointment.

In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson.

People who cite MLK as an example of bloodless, successful non violence should always be asked to explain what happened to MLK.

Sandy Hendry@sandyhendry.bsky.social

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

It's because the vast majority of Dems think that they can convince Elon to give them money if they're sufficiently obsequious to him.

theres this idea in the media that if netanyahu loses his election that israel is going to become acceptable to support again, as he is singularly the problem. but if you look into the election you find out every single opposition party is casting him as "too weak on palestine"

Zaryn reposted

it's genuinely wild how many vote blue no matter who people get mad at trans folks for demanding better from our possible elected officials, and don't join us in also wanting better. it's almost as if they don't believe better is possible.

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement, during a heated exchange at a town hall. https://cnn.it/4s7r1TL

I know I try not to talk about Will Stancil much but genuinely it is completely insane to do a "the vibes are more important than the truth" **in a situation where the vibes are that the vibes are more important than the truth**
