And it follows that engagement is what he’s after. So just block him. Don’t quote tweet, don’t dunk via screenshot—he wants all of that. Block, ignore, don’t engage

It’s also because these politicians know deep down that these young progressives have the moral high ground and ultimately, mostly, are standing for what is right. and that drives them berserk

Not easy for me to be shocked by the atrociousness of something schumer says, but this post managed the trick

if this court were deciding plessy it would work up reasoning to explain why separate is fine and skip the “but equal” part entirely

(For those of us paywalled) do they cite any specific policies or positions of mamdani’s as reasons for their specific nonendorsement of him, or are dealing with an oh you know the ones kind of situation?

Listen there’s an abandoned parking lot over in the center of town that’s going to be redeveloped into an apartment building if nobody does anything to stop it. The Baileys have their hands full.

Goes to show how much this loser’s campaign depends on nobody listening to or thinking about a thing he says. He just wants to be assumed

You can’t give a fucking inch to the other side. They are wrong, we are not being invaded, we are at no risk of being invaded. every Mexican flag in that protest should be celebrated as expressing the essence of the tolerant and multicultural America we are fighting for

I don’t agree. If we accept that bearing the flag of another nation is in opposition to showing love to the USA, we are adopting the us versus them, zero sum mindset of the right, which is the road to all sorts of horrid beliefs and policies

Yes, and that’s key here—all the handwringing about tactics and flags and whatnot does so much more damage than do the actual tactics and flags

I need people to understand that what shapes public opinion and perception is not what protestors actually do but elite consensus and talking points around what they do. Just look at the popularity of J6 among independents and the right.

Yes. Any concession that this is a problem is a problem. And wrong

California has a great state flag that’s probably at plenty of these protests. That’s great—there’s room for everyone. But we’re lying if we pretend that these attacks are not against specific immigrant groups, and I’m darned if I’m going to tell those groups how to represent themselves
comment in response to

Yup, nor should we if we could. The other side could not be more wrong. That which they despise is exactly that which should be valued and celebrated
