By a traffic light there is a crowd of people protesting. A person with their back to the camera is holding a sign that reads β€œEvery bombed village is my hometown β€œ James Baldwin. There are other anti war signs in the distance.

See like I understand why some people really like Kelly, but this type of stuff is exactly why this man will never be president.

Like, Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute and the ADL said oh actually he's just stimming because he's pro-Israel.

What they did by going after Mamdani was demonstrate that there is little political advantage to be gained by condemning antisemitism while also condemning the state of Israel. The ADL condemned Mamdani more than they've condemned Graham Platner, and as much or more than Candace Owens!

Can’t have student loan relief, can’t fund public education, can’t provide public healthcare, can’t build housing, can’t get a good job, can’t fund research to cure/treat illness and disease, can’t build green energy, can’t solve hunger and illness in the global south, but at least we can have this.

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

An autistic man called police for a wellness check. He was fatally shot. Alex LaMorie, 25, had recently moved to a community in Maryland for people with disabilities, and was shot after police say he approached officers while holding a knife.

LaMorie’s family and advocates say they want answers and accountability.

These comments are not only wrong, but they are dangerous and will feed more antisemitism in our country. 

Is it really worth throwing Jews under the bus to advance your political ambitions?

Worth thinking about in advance what it'll look like when certain Democrats defect in 2028 to the GOP over the most mild criticism of Israel from the presidential nominee (who will not be Newsom, but in all likelihood will be far more critical than him)

Heathcliff sits contemplatively in an armchair, surrounded by several framed pictures of meat, with a few pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling on wires. Grandma Nutmeg stands at the doorway with her friend and says "His aesthetic is meat core."

Arapahoe County Democratic Assembly. John Hickenlooper should be shaking in his boots. These are the party faithful. These are the people who knock doors, the people who raise money, the people who influence others.

I really wish people online would give Julie more money. It’s flying under the radar for most people out of state. But so important!
