I think it would be very useful if people could say it directly. Its because the Israeli minister is a racist, but seems like its left to insinuating the obvious when it comes to so much racism by right wing figures.

Burnham's like if a dem senator had 78 dem senators and was still saying "just one more election" and everyone knew they'd lose 20 senators then

I sincerely believe that if we had any kind of democracy worth defending Tom Watson would have been jailed and banned from politics for life around 2018 when it became clear he was engaging in internal sabotage of the party he was supposed to be the deputy leader of.

i don't care if people use the word 'genocide' but the degree to which people are chummy with those who don't just reject the word but who are in basic denial of what has happened is a bit disconcerting. and no 'netanyahu is a bad man' doesn't cover it

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

Put together with Mandelson’s conduct and the revolving door with big money business interests, you’d have to say New Labour was basically an influence peddling operation for a tiny number of people that took over an entire political party.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

i don't like this but "it is good when The Left yells at us, that is why we piss them off" makes more sense than "we get to stab the left, and then yell at them for getting mad VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO"

This isn't an AI thing, but it explains why executives think AI is great. They *already* live like they have been kicked in the head by a horse. They already have a group of people making sure they've wiped their ass. They already don't have exposure to negative consequences.

Note how there is no (0) person, whether politician or activist, quoted in this piece who‘s in favour of more liberal asylum policies, and as for quoting any actual refugees, their function is to be the silent object of other people’s violent imaginings, not to have a voice or personhood

Probably a cop out, but beyond that I think the honest answer is CAP really *doesn’t* have a point now. They were created for a singular purpose and failed, and I imagine that’s why their entire political presence is now their drunk CEO contradicting their own reports on Twitter.

(1)A sign Burnham's "counter Russian disinformation" plan is bad -the "2019 general election interference " was a leak/hack of US-UK trade talks showing parts of the NHS would be sacrificed to get US trade. But these documents were real, not fake.:Wes Streeting recently agreed a version of the deal!
