Everything James Baldwin references in this 1968 talk is echoed in 2024--the U.S. government's support of an apartheid state, their hand in the suffering inside & outside U.S. borders, and the shameful rhetoric from the U.S. executive branch that elides & justifies this behavior.

This guy thinks opposing an israeli arms industry investor is "purity testing"
It does not enter my mind how on earth these people still call themselves leftists. Just free yourself and be a lib, bro.

Instead of doing whatever this is what if she talked about the mob boss shit going on behind the scenes

This is something I’ve known intrinsically was happening behind the scenes for a long time but no one has had the balls to expose it. Disappointing as hell that it wasn’t a DSA member who exposed this mafia shit.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”
???
What should Democrats do differently now that they're on the cusp a real SUPERMAJORITY?
@AJentleson: Don't place any limit on the states that you can compete in. Break away from the rigidity that has captured the party over the last decade.

I guess our friends at Majority Democrats and Third Way don’t know or don’t care about crossing AFL CIO’s boycott list. Classy!

Hey The Kavernacle, as a millennial: my generation's exultation from voting for Barack Obama 2x and *winning* was formative for us. The U.S. Left thankfully understands that winning energizes the working class--and, objectively, a leftist is more likely to win on the Dem ticket.

The modern person interact with stories as historical retellings of a real fake world instead of an intentionally authored work.
Once you realize this A LOT of discourse starts making way more sense.

Hey The Kavernacle, some insight from a non-celeb millennial who voted for Zohran Mamdani & has a child in kindergarten: there's only so many times I can be told that as a USian, my lifestyle is "funded by third-world plunder" or "Obama is a war criminal" before I stop trying.

I think it's the same for a lot of my comrades & the creators you're subtweeting. Instead of rushing to condemn Boy George or being disappointed in Hbomberguy, I'm advocating for progressive politicians & voting in local elections to improve my family's quality of life.

I just KNOW they got this idea from the settlers who litter nails all over Palestinian roads in the WB to pop their tires

Hasan aside. It is insane to me that Americans can joke about a genocide they committed with little to no pushback. Whereas, if they joked about the holocaust a genocide they had no involvement mfers would lose their minds.
I feel sorry for Native American people. People make jokes about some of the most brutal things that have happened to them in human history and nobody even cares to even have a “WTF” reaction.
America is really a sick country and it goes to show you nothing was done to correct the cardinal sin of pushing native Americans out of their land and slaughtering them on mass.

The Israeli government runs torture dungeons on par or worse than the dictatorships that the U.S. sanctions or attacks using human rights accusations. If Israel will be treated like any other country as some politicians have now indicated then that should be kept in mind.
