Jonathan Cowan, president of the liberal think tank Third Way, writes in POLITICO Magazine on how trans issues are liability for Democrats, and how they can moderate. We should welcome perspectives such as these, but I think Cowan still gets it wrong. Thread 🧵

If I were a citizen in a first world country I'd go to war to keep me out. We Indians are that bad. I empathise with anti-immigration folks. I don't think they're radicalized and angry enough. I'd be as mad as a Brexit voter stuck in an Indian call queue for passport renewal.

I really resent the "both sides" people who talk about "working class Russians and Ukrainians have more in common than their leaders who started this war". No, Ukrainians can only defend their country. Russians have chosen to invade another country, they are not the same

The "leaders" did not start this war, Putin and Russia did unilaterally. The war came to Ukraine. This mealymouthed bullshit equates victim and aggressor.

The entire administration is a ponzi. Much like it's mad king.

It's one of the strangest, most hypocritical alliances of our time: The tree-hugging progressive environmentalist locking arms with the most regressive, theocratic, anti-human movement in existence, Islamic jihad. How do we explain this madness? How does someone who weeps

Finally men won’t be allowed to smash women in the face live on TV and win medals for it. Well done, World Boxing Shame on the IOC (who allowed it in Paris) & male sports writers who cared more about a man’s feelings than the safety of women & their right to fair sport 🥊

My friend and colleague Julie Hamill just m*rdered CNN live on CNN

I like to play this game. Every time an Indian origin kid in the West signals their progressive virtue in woke-speak -- from 'yoga is cultural appropriation' to anti-colonialism takes -- I google their last name for caste origins. 10 times out of 10 it is South Indian Brahmin.

Tam Brams! Virtually all of the people at my tech company are Tamil Brahmins. They treat other types of Indians like shit. But they're experts at playing the race game, and accusing white people of "racism" for opposing their invasion of the US.

South Indian Brahman here. This tracks.

Zubin Sadly, this is true. A savvy manager can spot which caste their team members are from within a few minutes without even knowing the surnames. If you want to observe passive aggressive (or simply aggressive) behaviors, try putting a lower caste individual in charge of a Brahmin.

Ekerot Noodles Now Trotskyist. His moral opposition to Saddam came from visiting Iraq, seeing Shia and Kurdish genocides. That the Americans don't understand arab tribal dynamics and botched the post invasion rebuild isn't on him. Also, he was not a fan of Israel: x.com/ZMadon/status/…

Красиво!

Joe Walsh DiveDoc🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇦 There’s no longer a Republican Party. Trump created a party of weak men and women willing to worship at his altar. When John McCain died the Republican Party died with him.

European cuck nations should be paying Ukraine for striking heavy blows to that crime cartel masquerading as a country. Doing the Lord's work here.
