Glenn quitting the Intercept and Jeremy Corbyn being suspended are part of the same trend.
Centrist elites can not bear people speaking the truth.

"Denying Israel the self-determination as a Jewish nation accorded unthinkingly to others is endemic, and evil."
Other nations don't attempt to achieve "self-determination" through genocide.

And guess what? The strategy worked. She gets harassed at a restaurant and within 24 hours the Administration caves. Perhaps if more people expressed their Free Speech rights we could get rid of these Fascists once and for all.

You do understand that millions of people in fact do not want the United States to be sending billions of dollars worth of weapons to the Ukraine?
Where Presidential Candidate Joe Biden Stands On Marijuana: "I still believe it's a gateway drug. I've spent a lot of my life as chairman of the Judiciary Committee dealing with this. I think it would be a mistake to legalize."

To show how schizophrenic the global response to Covid is: in Mexico, you and the driver both are required to wear a mask. And the driver can be fired if they don't.
Plus, Uber sometimes asks you to take a photo of yourself wearing a mask to prove you are following the rules.
@jacobinmag
I think this is a really bad - and unprogressive - take.
Instead of vilifying mom and pops, we should focus on the real enemy -- Amazon, Google, and the lack of a living min wage, M4All and paid child care.

If you changed the word Amazon to Goldman Sachs and changed warehouse worker to investment banker, then yes, Cory Booker is a progressive advocate of workers.

If you care so much about the people in Gaza, perhaps you would like to tell your government to let them having electricity, clean water, and concrete to rebuild their houses destroyed by Israel. Or do you not care after all?

Frankly they only dislike it because of Palestine. If TikTok kids were all supporting Israel, Congress would give it a Congressional Medal.

@Ocasio2018
The Democrats ran the worst candidate in a generation, and are now still, 2 years later, flummoxed why they lost. We need new voices. Ocasio is a great start.

I pay $20,000 a month and can't believe they boarded up the Bottega Veneta windows, so I have to actually walk inside to shop for the $16,000 handbag to give my mistress. Fuck.
@NYTimesGuild
The Times puffed up the 1619 Project like the Second Coming of Jesus, and when they got nailed by historians they made a handful of changes and then retreated to a hole.
You don't have to agree with everything Stephens says to think the Times overplayed its hand.

Famously, inaction over the tens of thousands of deaths from AIDS was overcome by a single sparsely attended picnic in San Francisco.
And not thousands of marches, die-ins, protests and disruptions.

The person filming was a friend of the cop. Of course, they were complicit. But on the other hand, were it not for the video, the cop would not be in jail right now.

Yesterday, they said they had no power over the issue, although it was Trump's doing. Today they reversed themselves. So yeah, they caved.

Their "split-second decisions," safe from an office in Tel Aviv, have managed to kill over 10,000 women and children.
A higher percentage of children killed than **any war** in the 20th Century.
@gaywonk
Joe Rogan has some bad takes on trans athletes.
Meanwhile, the New York Times was partly responsible for a war that killed a million people in Iraq.
Yet their endorsements don't seem to move his meter.
@ASFleischman
Gays got equal rights because polite homosexuals wore black suits with black ties and politely picketed in front of the State Department that one time.
And not because drag queens threw bricks, Act Up marched through cathedrals, and queers screamed bloody murder for 20 years.
@Jairo_I_Funez
genocidal liberal president...working within an oligarchal capitalistic system that actively suppresses the will of the people.
But other than that, he's fine.
@LidarGL
Friendly reminder: journalists can be tried and convicted for assisting in genocide as well.
After World War 2, a handful of journalists were executed for their crimes.

Not having any fucking idea what's going on is when you see someone bankrolling a genocide in front of your eyes and say "I'm going to vote for that guy anyway."

SV Bank just closed. Billions in startup money is there. Its all frozen.
It will take weeks/ months for the uninsured portion to be released.
And there will be some loss on those accounts -- 10%, 20%, 50% who knows.
@BenjaminNorton
This is just tankie nonsense. Talk to Hong Kong people. Ask them why they are protesting. Up to 2 million people have marched in a city of 7 million. If you spoke to the young protestors, almost all are working class. The rich in Hong Kong are at their clubs counting their money.

One "mega spreader" in South Korea was found to have been responsible for the virus spreading to 1,000 other people.
That's one person. Why should we risk hundreds of thousands of people gathering to vote tomorrow?

Just a political point:
If those companies banded together and lobbied, we would have Medicare for All in about a week, they would not have to bear a huge expense, and their workers would be happier and healthier.

And then the NY Times used *those reports* as evidence it's own report was correct.
They were all citing each other in a circle.

Much bigger even than you think. OOCL was owned by CH Tung, the former chief executive of Hong Kong and a member of the Chinese CPPCC.
There is no way China did not directly approve this decision.
@DrJasonJohnson
Somehow I don't think a citizen with no power has the same culpability in horrific decisions as does a president who executes them. Politicians have enormous power, and justly deserves condemnation when they use that power badly.
@ryangrim
And of course she failed to point out:
Bernie called for the ABOLITION of superdelegates in 2020. So he didn't write the rules. Where was Warren speaking out on this issue?
@TA_Liaison
@Ocasio2018
I guess this thread is generating activity again because the person at the top -- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez -- just won the NY primary for Congress in a safe Democratic seat. Congratulations Alexandria! At least Congress will have one person who respect the rights of Palestinians.
@PatTheSocialist
$1 trillion could literally build 5 million homes for people in the US, end homelessness, and give millions on hourly wages or just starting out a place to live.
Completely fixing the housing crisis in the US. But Ukraine needs bombs.
@prime_bee
The Democrats put forward a horrifically bad candidate in 2016, and she lost.
The Democrats also refused for 50 years to enshrine Roe v Wade into law. All when a simple rule change could have allowed them to do so. 22 of those years had Democratic control in both houses.
@Ad_Inifinitum
But if you look at her house, she's clearly upper middle class.
Her husband probably owns a plumbing supply company or something.
These are the people standing next to you in line at Costco. Crazy is literally everywhere.
