Reposted by PerloThemBOO! @thembo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Not only is it correct, it's a dramatic underselling of how much terrorism the US does. It's like saying the Pacific Ocean holds more water than a fishing pond. 22751147
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 13/09/2026One of the key reasons we were told it was necessary to overlook Harris's support for the genocide in Gaza to elect her to office was to protect the rights of trans people. Not sure why this made me think of that 110

Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I love when people talk about how qualified Clinton was for the presidency because, if you are defining qualified by experience and number of roles previously occupied in the federal gov't, arguably the most qualified candidate for the role in all of American history was James Buchanan 000
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Absurd framing. A single payer system takes those generous healthcare benefits off the table, meaning unions don't have to sacrifice anything to guarantee it. It only makes their negotiating position stronger 000

Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I cannot wait for El-Sayed and Hong to win in November so we can finally put this tired argument out to pasture 100
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I don't think I've ever seen a supporter of Israel more plainly acknowledge that it's a settler-colonial project than this 010
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 31/07/2026This is such ridiculous framing. Normie self-identified Dems are by and large going to vote for the Dem candidate in the general regardless. That's precisely why El-Sayed is better equipped to win the general, because he's shown himself more capable of coalition building beyond the partisan base 530
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 31/07/2026"I reject single issue voting even in the case of genocide" is a statement that makes me wish Hell was real 100

Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 26/07/2026This is of course not directed toward the author, but it's pretty fucking rich for The New York Times, the media outlet arguably most culpable for inciting and enabling the genocide, to publish this 000
Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 26/07/2026So I haven't read this book yet but the hostility it has gotten from this one post is truly bizarre.

A thoughtful analysis of Obama's utter failure to capitalize on his 2008 win to deliver anything approaching meaningful change, written when it would be political suicide to do so.

Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 17/05/2026This says more about the poster than anything else. If he were at all confident in his own politics he would just call himself a centrist liberal and leave it at that.

Perlo @perlothecat.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I think future historians are going to treat Biden the same way we talk about James Buchanan.
