Quick note to everyone pretending that Zohran Mamdani somehow favors communism, here’s the Republican president literally saying on camera that he wishes America were more like Communist China.

“Gaza deserves death. The 2.6 million terrorists in Gaza deserve death! … Men, women, and children – in every way possible, we must simply carry out a Holocaust on them – yes, read that again – H-O-L-O-C-A-U-S-T! For me, gas chambers. Train cars.” - Israeli channel 14 TV producer

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

if Zohran could turn NYC from a rat infested hellhole to a great city in one night in the eyes of Republicans, think what he'll do in 4 years

Just called my US rep @repdangoldman.bsky.social to ask him to demand the House censure Ogles for this miserable, bigoted, anti-American, fascist attack - and to do everything he can to defend Mamdani and the rest of us. If you agree, please call your own rep asap. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Ironically, in the 1920s Stephen Miller's grandparents, Jewish immigrants who settled in central Pennsylvania where they created the inter-generational wealth that helped fund Miller's lifestyle, were attacked with this exact same rhetoric from the immigration restrictionists of their day, the KKK.

No one can stop me from being happy about this idc that the order could be ignored or reversed I cannot overstate, as someone who’s lived in red areas my whole life and does advocacy for people who use drugs, the queer community, and sex workers - you HAVE to relish the wins. It’s gas in the tank.

A Harvard study has found there are 400,000 Palestinians unaccounted for or missing. Why is this not the lead story on every news channel or on the front of every newspaper? thecradle.co/articles-id/...

Apropos of absolutely nothing, it seems like a fine day to learn a bit about a big-city Socialist mayor. Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee was re-elected many times, with many exemplary successes and some challenges, none of which bear any resemblance whatsoever to the present day

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are the most powerful enemies of Americans' free speech rights in our nation's history. If their lackey Vance is coming here, it's because they're trying to shut down and destroy this platform (because the right doesn't control it)

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

There are many reasons to oppose Cuomo's attempted comeback. An often forgotten one is that during the pandemic, he tried to hand NY over to the tech oligarchs as their AI laboratory. Lots of damning clips in this 2020 interview I did on the subject: www.democracynow.org/2020/5/13/na...

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
