This DSA right guy couldn't stop broad brushing the left as antisemites, everyone (including DSA leftists) finally got sick of it and dogpiled him, and now he's run over here trying to spin this as "the far-left" teaming up with Nazis against DSA

I hope people understand that a lot of the focus on Hasan is just about making one person the face of opposition to Israel so that they can act like it's just a fringe agenda being pushed by a single streamer.

On Twitter, Neera Tanden is now promoting Islamophobic "taqiyya" rhetoric from Laura Loomer against Hasan Piker. Center for American Progress fellows are demanding an explanation, but LOL if you think the board is going to stand up for Muslims. www.peoplesline.org/p/the-center...
peoplesline.org
The Center for American Progress is fine with Neera Tanden's Islamophobia
After a decade of this the pattern is clear: Neera will tweet through it and CAP's board will look the other way.

Trump has shown the way here: arrest and deport before the courts can do anything about it. Mamdani can plausibly argue that he is bound by international law to arrest and extradite Netanyahu, and I can think of few consequences for this that wouldn't be worth accepting.

I think Trump is likely a narcissist. I think you probably are, too. I am not, which is why I can distinguish between my personal hunches and clinical diagnosis.

Ironically, this trademark Stancil dismissal of any expertise that he can't casually lay claim to is itself a pretty classic symptom of narcisssism!

Speaking as someone who ended up being right about both Platner and Ukraine, nothing is more ridiculous to me than watching people pretend like they had psychic foresight about either, deserve credit for guessing right, and deserve apologies from those who guessed wrong

From my latest: Pundits are convinced that it was Platner's "working class aesthetic" that attracted voters - but there just isn't any evidence backing that claim. Why are they so obsessed with this? www.peoplesline.org/p/no-platner...

These Ukrainians turning over a conscription bus aren't ethnic Russians in some far-eastern enclave. This is happening in Lviv, the heart of Western Ukraine. If you support conscription but aren't enlisting, this is the Ukraine you're creating. It won't end well.
