Oh so you saw a city just like my dream, Marco? Does this one also have a dark mirror of itself hidden within? No way, and you’re telling me that its inhabitants can no longer tell which is the real city and which is its image? Do you suppose it represents how this moment too will never come again?

people need to stop misapplying therapy words about intentional manipulation and abuse to well intended human interactions, tbh genuinely loving your partner isn't love bombing. asking your friend for emotional support isn't trauma dumping. we shouldn't pathologize normal loving human behavior.

Also the entire news media. There's really not that many Democrats on the anti-Mamdani beat but curiously virtually all of them are getting prime slots on cable news shows as if they speak for all Democrats. It makes you think!

He has REPEATEDLY condemned antisemitism. REPEATEDLYYYYY He ran hand in hand with a Jewish man!! He had a HUGE amount of support from Jewish New Yorkers!!! JEWS ARE NOT A TOOL FOR YOU TO USE TO HIDE YOUR ANTI-MUSLIM BELIEFS BEHIND

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

i think a lot of people would be happier if they realized that some conversations literally only occur on the internet

the lesson you should draw from the most jewish city in the world putting an israel-skeptic muslim over the top in the mayoral primary is literally the opposite of "anti-semitism is a serious threat to local jews." trust me when i tell you we understand self-interest.

angry every day that of all countries the U.S. thinks it has the moral standing to say who should or should not have nuclear weapons. ask the 38,000 children who died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki if the U.S., of all nations on the earth, has any right to pose as a moral arbiter here

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

*illegally bombs a country* NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

It’s not simply doing this, or doing it without congressional approval, or doing it without explanation of risks, or doing it without declaration of war, or doing it on behalf of an ally mid-genocide. It’s the fickleness that suggests what’s to come. Rule, war, death by his whim.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

America is cooked and deservedly so. I just wish I didn’t have to be here for it.

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE” is one hell of a thing to say after bombing someone.

Hello, I’m Jewish. I think genocide is bad and Zohran Mamdani is good. Hope this help.

sorry to be a downer but i just don't think we're gonna crack this. people don't even see their future selves as themselves so the idea of doing things for future generations rather than prioritizing more more more now is basically unthinkable www.france24.com/en/live-news...

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

we need to fight for trans youth on every front through the courts and legislation, by supplying hormones directly, by dispelling the idea of "passing", by showing the rich and valued lives of those who transitioned post-puberty, by celebrating transness we need to help them survive no matter what

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

this report from media matters is fucking wild. fox news has aired 424 segments about trans athletes since feb 5. the week democrats vetoed the GOP trans sports ban bill, they aired 59 segments. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Oh look. Another "Gender Critical" myth about trans healthcare, for which they have no evidence at all, disproven via study. When we all knew it was false all along anyway

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

their entire motivating force is hatred, and a desire to see the 'right' people suffer. you cannot reason with them, you cannot compromise with them, there is no 'center' where you can find common ground. they are, simply, evil, and must be treated as such.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

The Supreme Court is a disastrous and undemocratic institution with way too much power. Abysmally vile decision today by six people who no one elected.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

We spent years being manipulated by conservatives with the ear of establishment centrists and liberals into addressing a fake free speech crisis, precisely so people could be punished for speaking out against perhaps the most contemporaneously well-documented genocide in history

I've said this before, but so-called ideological diversity only runs rightward, and it never means arguing about economics or something. I already know the conservative position on, for instance, my existence. I'm not going to snap out of being trans because seventeen more people call me a man.

What is a video game?

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

In 1933, antisemitism was, in the permission structure of decaying lib-imperial Europe, the most acceptable form of bigotry. It was ancient, easy, and taught to Germans at a young age. in 2025, it is islamophobia. 9/11 was our Dreyfus Affair. Now look at Gaza—don't you see our own Holocaust?
