On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Why would you want to vote if Neoliberal Dems support the same corporate agenda as the Fascist GOP? For one thing, we got a LOT of Progressives through the primaries, so we won't be playing the same gaslighting games as the past. More over, good cop, bad cop only works if you have a bad cop. 🧵

This is what the neoliberal propaganda outlets say when they see me. “You dumb, you maga, you troll. Fuck off.” Zero argument, because they know I’ll tear their propaganda to shreds. This one has gone past the “lesser evil” all the way to, “It wasn’t us.”

This broke my heart because it gets to the part of this moment that is hardest to confront. The danger was never just the con man. It was the hunger for what he was selling, and the willingness to sacrifice compassion, decency and other people’s humanity to get it. Read this.

You know what truly breaks my heart?
It's not that America fell for a brilliant con-man. He isn't. And they weren't fooled.
What I find devastating is how many people were absolutely desperate to believe the lies.
How many ached for permission to dress their cruelty in patriotism. How many clung to racist. Homophobic. Transphobic.
Ethnocentric stereotypes. Because they thought the lies were promising them a shortcut to power. A way to profit.
Personally and politically. From the suffering of millions of absolutely innocent people.
The tragedy isn't the con. It's the hunger for it.
The willingness to trade compassion for the cheap thrill of feeling superior. The way hate sells because too many people show up already desperate to buy. —KALEN DION
