What Kyiv is calling for here - essentially a two-way bribe to Russia and Ukraine to end the war - is something I called for in 2023. At the time NAFO goons told me it was crazy and monstrous and that Kyiv would never go for it.

Why in god’s name did Jacobin publish this?

So in other words you agree with me that DHS should be disbanded and its constituent agencies which predate DHS should be placed in other departments.

DHS's status quo ante was no DHS. I am not sure how that "got us here" but ok

It's bizarre, she appears to be the kind of 90s leftists who thinks that libertarians and socialists and LaRouchites and fascists are all on the same "anti-establishment" team

One of many funny things here is that you clearly have no idea what Jacobin and ITT have published about LaRouche

Hahaha please email Jacobin founder and EIC Bhaskar Sunkara directly, Karen. Tell him I told you to stick your head in a toilet, too.

Extremely funny that you think Jacobin and In These Times are going to get mad at me for exposing a LaRouchite

Glad to see it. Can't blame you, it's a fraught issue and I've reacted badly more than once.

I don't think this is very reasonable. Alex has repeatedly promoted my criticism of Greyzone's Ukraine takes over the years. His positions on this are well within the DSA mainstream and have a pretty sound history of scholarship and progressive thought behind them.

Yes looking at your timeline it's clear that you don't normally qualification shame, I wonder why you broke that rule in this one specific instance

Todd was from Obama-era Twitter. Hard to explain him, he was vaguely leftist but was also a massive crank who hated nearly everyone on the left. As far as I can tell the display name just came from him thinking it was a funny name, he was a lot of things but definitely not a Nazi.

I don't understand it. There is plenty to be angry with me about without pretending that I like Michael Tracey

Why the fuck would I publicly disown someone I have been criticizing for years?

Carl Beijer @carlbeijer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
One reason I really don't like this site is that it seems like so many lib revisionists have congregated here. Tracey is a capitalist so I never liked him, he's a grossly immoral dude so Liz never liked him. Hilariously even Todd Hitler didn't like him. His only fan in this group was Freddie

Carl Beijer @carlbeijer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I don't know what's funnier, that this person lumps me in with the Tracey fan club or that she's expressing her disappointment with "Todd Hitler"

Yeah man you are part of the DSA left, for sure

Carl Beijer @carlbeijer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
We are in the middle of a dangerous campaign by group ranging from Third Way to the Trump Administration to Corbyn the left. If the left wants to survive we can't give any quarter to wreckers like this.

Carl Beijer @carlbeijer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
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.

Sort of, she's a board member too but a couple of them are more powerful than her and could probably force her out if they really wanted to. Also the donors could make problems for her, but by all indications the donors are probably 100% on board with her rhetoric too

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.
