Armin Thomas You could have put actual victims of Chinese human rights abuses on camera the way people have with Palestinians. Do it on Insta so that the Chinese algorithm doesn’t block it. But no, you’re using empty rhetoric about “national security.” Admit that your tactics have failed.

Zaid Jilani It was one of the greatest achievements not just of the US but specifically the Republican Party. Anyone born on our soil is more American than anything else and entitled to all our inalienable rights. And we need to hold on to it. ‘Murica!

BRCooper⚡🔋🚀 Zaid Jilani We’ve survived with birthright citizenship for over a century now. And if you think nine months of pregnancy and figuring out how to give birth in a foreign hospital is some kind of easy loophole, I can only laugh at you.

J.J. McCullough The online left due to its ties to the social sciences views history as made by “movements” and “pressures” while the online right due to its ties to self help views history as made by “leaders” and “great men.” Both are simplifications.

Leon @ RPG Haven J.J. McCullough MAGA isn’t a “movement.” It’s one man’s fan club that also includes the richest man on earth but somehow tricked people into thinking it’s “anti-establishment.”

Leon @ RPG Haven J.J. McCullough This person blocked me but Trump IS the establishment to the extent establishment means anything. At least he is now. The fact that people on both sides have failed to realize that is messing with their analysis.

@steamyporkbuns Mostly because the people who actually do community organizing and mutual aid aren’t posting all day on Twitter. They’re actually.. you know… out there.

appleappledeathcorpse @steamyporkbuns The main people on the left still on Twitter are either here because they need publicity, like to argue, or have friends here. Those tendencies were here before Musk’s takeover but now they’ve become the main self selection bias…

appleappledeathcorpse @steamyporkbuns I’ve noticed the app that actual leftist activist groups in my area use tends to be Insta instead because it’s an easier place to post pictures and videos of protests and announcements about them. Even on causes like Palestine! Don’t know if the recent stuff will change that.

I haven’t talked to a single Jew who regrets voting for Kamala and we had the highest votes for Kamala after Black people. Since the inauguration over 80 Jewish orgs have condemned actions by Trump. If you’re not Jewish stop speaking for our community

Champions of the Ice Will Stancil I agree with part one of this because I'm to the left of the neoliberal straw man you're making up in your head. Welcome to anti-imperialism.

Champions of the Ice Will Stancil Lol, you say "long live the American Empire" in your profile. Don't know what to make of that unless it's sarcastic. But then again, I've never known what to make of "isolationists" who genuinely think Trump is on their side after what he's said about Gaza.

GOP clone: “Queers for Palestine is like chickens for KFC. The woke left is hypocritical!” Me: If you cared about queer Palestinians and considered Gaza a bad place for them, you’d be lobbying our government to make their immigration here easier. Prove YOU’RE not hypocritical.
