Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk’s politics, because he is desperate to brand himself an insurgent against the powerful elite, but as the world’s first trillionaire, he needs a definition of “elite” not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Funny in that his last bit is mostly correct. He thinks this due to some sinister group of vanguard radicals who have Read Theory building it rather than something which occurrs spontaneously. The conditions they themselves have created have born it into existence as in prior such instances cited

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

the other thing is that the universalistic aspirations of the revolution were a real and palpable thing, and americans at the time — elites and otherwise — were VERY AWARE of the tension between the ideals and the reality of american society

Haven't seen it pointed out so, while it brings me no pleasure, I must mention that it was 53 days into Hitler's chancellorship when the Enabling Act was passed. Today, cause why not, marks 53 days into this new Administration as Senate Democrats vote to disembowel their constitutional authority.

This is Othman. Othman is a fascist who talks about things like the "Jewish Question." Othman also posts a lot of evidence he works in the White House. He claims to be at the Executive Office of the President. I don't know Othman's exact identity yet, but we've got some significant clues!
