Important thread from an expert👇🏽

The liberal establishment is putting more effort into stopping a progressive from becoming mayor of New York than they are to stopping all of Trump’s illegal actions combined at the moment.

The racist underpinnings of bipartisan American foreign policy are being laid bare by Donald Trump.

What Dave said. The Albanese govt and LNP are in lock-step on Australia's foreign and defence policy being dictated by Trump and Netanyahu. If that doesn't sound warning bells about the alleged benefits of the 'two-party system', you haven't been paying attention. The duopoly of death. #auspol

Straight up racist, Islamophobic ads by Cuomo against Mamdani during NBA Finals. This is the shit endorsed by the Democratic establishment and Wall St bros.

Brad Lander via @jfrejnyc.bsky.social on Insta: “I am proud as a Jewish New Yorker to be on that slate alongside a Muslim New Yorker. Jewish New Yorkers and Muslim New Yorkers are not going to be divided against each other. Our safety, our freedoms, our thriving are bound up together.”

Spent my afternoon/evening on a Zohran phone bank and then on a Working Families Party phone bank for their slate (#1: Zohran Mamdani, #2: Brand Lander, #3: Adrienne Adams, #4: Zellnor Myrie). With a heat wave coming, phone banking is a great thing to do from inside w/ AC!

Unless you are willing to fight for me and the people I care about I’m not willing to vote for you.

This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues. They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You can't compromise with that.

Israel is about to discover that it lacks strategic depth.

The US and irrelevant countries like Australia will torch international law whenever they want. The nuclear arms race and rapid proliferation around the world is about to get wild.

VOA's Persian Service did not carry live President Trump's speech about bombing Iran. The few remaining staffers describe a catastrophic failure due to Kari Lake's removal of most of their colleagues. The video of the speech could not be uploaded to the VOA Farsi website for 12 hours.

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

Self-professed Federal immigration officers in Santa Ana repeatedly punched in the face, pepper sprayed, and detained a gardener who is father to three UD marines. In case you’re wondering how things are going. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Iraq War but stupider this time. youtube.com/watch?v=9DLu...

You’d think even pro war pundits would have learned their lesson at this point but no www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

The soft bigotry of low expectations

I feel like I saw Season 1 of this show and it sucked.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

WSJ reports that the US stockpile had 20 confirmed GBU-57s. If the US dropped 14, as officials reported this morning, that's 70 percent of the US GB-57 stock used up in one go. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This guy is in the extreme minority. Most Democrats and Republicans would commit any evil if Israel asked them to.

And tomorrow—maybe even tonight—the three Trumpketeers will join in a chorus to declare à la George Orwell, “We have always wanted regime change in Iran.” Oh the joy of living in a personalist authoritarian regime populated with endless sycophants who have no political, ethical, or moral principles.

Trump’s been talking with Bibi.

jesus.

The United States inserted itself into Israel’s war against Iran early Sunday by dropping 30,000-pound bombs on an uranium enrichment site buried under a mountain.

Bibi has convinced US Presidents to pursue regime change in Iraq and soon Iran. The GOP are Bibi’s tools of mass disruption.

brilliant

I know it's in Americas nature to elect the most perverted scumbag on the ballot, but it would be cool if NYC sent a message to the party that we don't want pervert scumbags anymore. Bonus thing is Bill Clinton endorsed him so he's an even bigger pervert than we know about. An Iconic Pervert.

Iran’s smartest play in response to Trump’s aggression is to increase the pain for Israel. At the same time Iran should withdraw from the NPT. If Trump retaliates in defense of Israel it’ll become untenable for Trump to maintain public support in the US for a fight that doesn’t involve the US.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

When Marjorie Taylor Greene is more cogent than most Democrats you know the Democratic Party is in big trouble.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Isoroku Yamamoto, “we are not at war with the US, we are at war with the US naval program”

I’d say this German can fuck off. Diplomacy is dead on this subject.

Is this guy high?
