The conclusion here is obviously inarguable, but funny how the Respectable Pundit Class is forbidden from mentioning the one consequential unethical/sleazy thing Hunter Biden did, the self-evidently corrupt Burisma deal.

Not enough people are aware of how cool Ken Jennings is lol (Ken Jennings join DSA)

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman welcomed to Columbia College's graduation ceremony with sustained jeers and boos. Minutes later, students break out in loud chants of "Free Mahmoud":

How long media will call Labour a center-left party is an interesting test case of how willing they are to take Starmer at face value forever; it is genuinely hard to think of one issue they're left-of-center on! Most devolved socdem parties keep social progressivism *or* economic redistributionism

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

Nineteen months in and they're still letting the IDF write their copy:

Is anyone even putting forth an alternate argument for what this is besides a project of extermination anymore

Has it ever been more obvious that the Nakba never ended? A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

No matter how hard they try, this toothpaste is never going back in the tube. It's over.

for the NYT, bombing hospitals is, and I quote, a "contentious issue"

NEW: Senior State Dept officials coordinated with Starlink execs to coax, lobby and browbeat Gambian government ministers to help Musk. One official said Gambia is under “maximum pressure” to yield. By @justinelliott.bsky.social @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social & Brett Murphy

Imagine if Joe Rogan, the Hasan Piker of the right, was detained at the border by the Biden administration and questioned for hours over politics.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

"I can't address what happened specifically, but I'm going to say the cops are always right and the young woman who got harassed was in the wrong." -- Governor Maura Healey, basically

NEW: @nbcnews.com confirmed last night that the Trump admin almost sent a dozen men from Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, and Mexico to Libya, a country described as a “hellscape” for migrants where some have been SOLD INTO SLAVERY and many have been subjected to extraordinary horrors.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

What we are seeing rhetorically is a shift from “genocide is the ultimate crime but my friends aren’t committing it” to “genocide can be legitimate as a form of self-defense against a criminal people.”

🧵 We are excited to announce that Marxist Unity Group is running Amy Wilhelm (Seattle DSA), Sid CW (NYC DSA) and Cliff Connolly (Orlando DSA) for National Political Committee!

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Pretty clear admission that the NYT killed a story about the implausibility of the lab leak because editors believed bad-faith Trump Admin sources over actual scientists. donaldgmcneiljr1954.medium.com/how-i-learne...

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

Yale just stripped SJP of its status as an official student org after students protested the appearance of Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on campus. Ben-Gvir has been convicted in Israel on charges of supporting a terrorist organization

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Remeber, the real villains are graduate students who say this is morally wrong.

AGAINST THE CULT OF THE ROBE “we cannot expect courts to save us—and, by extension, we cannot expect a governing system reliant on the unenforceable supremacy of an unelected judiciary to save us” w/ @dreadfulposts.bsky.social https://www.marxistunity.com/light-and-air/against-the-cult-of-the-robe

If the notion the Gaza protests were broadly antisemitic was a fringe conservative media canard rather than an idea spread by the mainstream press, would they be trying all this legally? How much are columnists talking nonsense going to cost these colleges? How many students will suffer?

i’m proud of all we’ve done so far to save Spaulding, but we can’t let up now. keep the pressure on! bdsa.us/SaveSpaulding

one of the more blatant, in your face fascistic moments trumps 2nd term has had yet, and that’s saying something. they are telling us they love that they are openly doing crimes against humanity. if the world doesn’t prosecute every single person involved in this, it will be a failure of humanity

Boston University has banned their @ydsa.org chapter, ostensibly because of posting unauthorized flyers and holding a sit in *outside* of the Dean of Students Office. (per statement from YDSAatBU on IG, 1/3)

The reason I'm hitting myself in the head with a big cartoon mallet is that the people who told me not to do that were condescending. "That's gonna hurt dumbass" they sneered. Well it doesn't hurt and in fact I think it may be helping my asthma
