If you think *only* the lower classes are riddled with this mindset you are simply wrong; if you think the *entire* lower class (white or otherwise) is riddled with this mindset you are also wrong.

I know it sounds bad that Gavin Newsom sold out California so Larry Ellison can buy about half of the entire American entertainment industry but to be fair to Newsom, half of that is actually going to be bought by Saudi Arabia

It’s not exactly a surprise but a LOT of people revealed this weekend they don’t see human rights as an actual moral standard but simply another political commodity whose value only matches the political influence of those demanding them. It would be nice if they just admitted it.

Idk who needs to hear this but the biggest coordinated activism in Georgia in decades happened in 2023 when they gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a referendum opposing a police training facility in Atlanta—twice—and the Democratic controlled city council simply ignored it

Idk who needs to hear this, but politicians are not activists and stop expecting them to be when that is our job as the people to be the activists

For myself and probably many other non-verbal thinkers (I ain't that special), the meaning/abstraction/image comes first and inspires the words I use to convey it. I'd even hazard that is the default human condition -- we aren't born with entire lexicons in our brains.

this long litany of philosophers saying "you can't think without language" is, however, a long litany of philosophers being wrong about material facts. unsymbolized thought exists. and it existed then too, they just could not introspect enough to realize it. introspection does not reveal the brain.

Like this isn’t some paranoid, conspiracy theory or anything, it’s pretty obvious: Moskowitz, Suozzi, etc. are actively trying to tank a Senate race because they think it will help their own. Jefferies has clearly already learned from Pelosi the prime directive that Schumer won’t do shit about it.

Libs Trying To Last Even an Hour Criticizing Hasan Without Revealing They’re Just Racists Challenge, difficulty level: impossible

Let's consider Hasan Piker's motivations. 1) If he wanted Dems to win he'd lay low til after the midterms; he's a liability now. 2) If he wanted power for himself, he'd lay low, let El-Sayed win, then call in favors for helping him in the primary.

So why can't Hasan shut up?

Hasan: you’re right. i’m shuttering my operations because aipac dems and the gop are falsely labeling me an antisemite. we are done from here on out. no more organizing, i’m going on a 65 day vacation. no more news coverage. no more tweets. what the fuck are you saying lmao

Hasan, we're saying that Americans want democracy and your juvenile grandstanding is fucking it up for us.

Why don't you take a little vacation in Turkey where you grew up and advocate for the genocide victims there. Like he Armenians? And the Kurds? Go help them out for awhile.

You can’t deploy Hasan Piker aggressively in factional primaries and then turn around after you win and say “why is everyone talking about Hasan Piker.” If you don’t want people to talk about him, don’t campaign with him!!

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.

The pitch of the Democratic leadership, Democratic-adjacent pundits like Chait, and Democratic consultant firms touting 'popularism' is that Trump is an existential threat so every Dem must sacrifice to win general elections at all costs. But on this issue, they'd rather lose than sacrifice.

This is frankly what far more perspective Democratic presidential candidates should be emphasizing as we enter the 2028 season. You need to make these people scared now. You need to make it clear the party will be over in two years, and that’s probably not fast enough to build a hotel.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:
