A reminder that these "democratic socialist" politicians are not socialists or revolutionaries. They are slightly more progressive politicians who believe change can come from within the system. Do with that what you will.

It’s cute how they say ‘seize’ when they really mean ‘steal’

almost all of what people call "leftist infighting" is just some people trying to actually address internal contradictions and others reactively trying to obfuscate them.

Life in Gaza

at his meeting with Trump just now Zohran Mamdani was asked about the anti-genocide protest at the Zionist synagogue recruiting settlers to illegally settle Palestinian lands. In response Zohran said he "cares very deeply about Jewish safety" and "hopes to root out anti-Semitism

A week ago everyone was screaming at democrats for not fighting Trump. Now Mamdani is grinning and doing a press conference with him and you're all cheering him on. Have you all lost your minds?

Che Guevara told us 60 years ago that words are beautiful, but action is supreme. What do his actions say?

Is this the standard now? If you recognize there’s a genocide, you’re an anti-Zionist? People don’t even know what words mean anymore, and it’s coming at the expense of the Palestinian struggle.

You’re a lying fascist bastard and I look forward to working with you to help enact our progressive agenda

Mamdani had so many options here, not least a basic defence of international law, and he went for the Zionist talking point. There's pragmatism, then there's a lack of backbone

Trickle down revolutions is such a perfect way to describe how Americans genuinely think they can vote fascism away

The fact that Zohran has to make concessions before he's even in office is a testament to the backwardness of the strategy employed. It is in the reverse order it needs to be. You're supposed to be in a position of strength *going into* the office not one of weakness.

Zohran's campaign represents at least the 6th attempt by "the left" to engage in an 'inside-outside' strategy wherein they go about doing it *in the reverse order of doing it*

And Mamdani just called those protesting this antisemites. Selling out your principles to focus on hyper liberal 'affordability' politics is so fucking gross, so disgusting, so pathetic and so American. No time for anyone defending him. Craven and weak

Someone want a 2,000-word piece on the Trump-Mamdani affair and how it illustrates what Achille Mbembe identified as “banal grandiloquence”—a strategy by which power makes itself intimate and ultimately irresistible by staging its own absurdity?

In the Israel terrorist air strikes today in Gaza, 22 people were killed. Among those were two entire related families. Family No. 1: Ghaleb Abu Shawish (father) Kameila (mother) Bilal (son) Shahad (daughter) Deyala (daughter) Family No. 2: Rami Abu Shawish (father) Sahar
