Let’s see: The people who warned you about Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Nina Turner, Tulsi Gabbard, Briahna Joy Gray, Cenk Uygur, Shaun King, Jimmy Dore, Marianne Williamson, and on and on are warning you about Hasan Piker. But idk maybe we’ll finally be wrong once.

Opinion | Mamdani’s Netanyahu Stunt Was a Waste of His Talent and Our Time
What if Mamdani actually wanted to be a bridge builder between Israelis and Palestinians, a role for which he has the unique capacity and talent?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Transparency is a widespread issue, as I wrote in the first of our fluoride stories at ProPublica. "Customer notice requirements are patchy, so people may not even know about it when their fluoridation stops."

Bibi has made it known that he doesn’t care about the American Jews, his entire desire has been to get the support of Christian evangelicals. We are paying the price for his ignorance and hubris.

This is actually one of the most troubling ICE stories I’ve seen recently — an eye-popping sign of how corrupt, broken, and racist the internal culture is:

Really understood the people in my social media circle not voting in today’s high profile Mayoral race. Sometimes you don’t have to pick the lesser of two real evils. Sometimes you can just say fuck them all and wash your hands of it.

It feels like an inverse response to Trumpism. Cling to the worst qualities of an obviously flawed candidate to own the opposition.

Pritzker can't say he's fighting the good fight and that we're in this perilous moment, but then allow his state police to do this to protesters. He wants it both ways, but he can't have it both ways and be credible. This is a fight against the federal gov't, but it's also against the police state.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Kimmel should donate under no circumstances. I don't think he will but God I hope he doesn't. Sinclair channels should be bullied by losing all ABC content immediately. If they don't want some ABC content give them nothing at all.
