I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

Even if you've never been a union member, the attacks on unions have cost you money. The typical worker would be earning $5,000 more a year if unions were as strong today as they were five decades ago

“‘Men are trash’ is justifying the genocide of men.” No! That’s not what that phrase means! When you have an overwhelming majority of a nation-state in favor of genocide, a massive chunk of whom served in its settler-armed services, and nearly all of whom contribute to its economy — differentiation

This can’t seriously be the first post I see when I log onto Bluesky, man. Saying that no citizens of a nation currently committing genocide (which the vast majority of the citizens support) are innocent is *not* “making the case for genocide.”

Rightly criticizing a political candidate for shifting their political stances in a negative direction isn’t “turning on” anyone. It’s having basic reasoning skills and some semblance of ideological consistency.

In addition, the ADL has been working to put together a "best practices" guide which will include training venue workers on anti-Semitic symbols, statements and other totems. Those materials will be available to workers at both of Ye's shows.

This is the author's evidence of "the left" hiding "positive" things that Trump has done -- the networks refusing to air a speech in which he spread malicious lies about our democratic institutions. Doesn't name a *single* actual good thing Trump has supposedly done that's been hidden from people.
The most recent snub came on July 16, when Trump tried to deliver a national address on election integrity. ABC News and NBC News ignored it entirely. CBS News aired a few minutes. Why?

Legacy media never fails to ask politicians, “Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?” You’ll never hear: “Do you believe Palestine has a right to exist?” They scream antisemitism at criticism of Israel, while their goal is to prevent a Palestinian state. These receipts prove the hypocrisy.

The claim that peace cannot exist between Israelis and Palestinians until Palestine recognizes the right of Israel to exist is predicated on a lie against Palestinians
