They're trying to meme Newsom into a Trumpian larger than life figure and it's just sad to watch

Curtis Sliwa from the Guardian Angels and current Republican candidate for mayor of New York appeared on Morton Downey Jr. in 1989 to confront a Jewish militant. He had with him an Arab American wearing a keffiyeh who supported the intifada.

This is a Nazi-level genocidal speech. Sorry. There is no way to sugar coat it. He is bone-chillingly explaining his plans for his own Warsaw Ghetto, Madagascar Plan and Lidice Massacre. The willful destruction of civilian infrastructure to make life impossible

That New pub should just be Matt B explaining stuff to Matt Y

I've said this before: Gavin Newsom is the Democratic Ron DeSantis. He gets politically-engaged partisans excited, but he doesn't do much to bring new people into the party, and that's what Democrats need in 2028.

The plan has been from the start: 1. Make Gaza unlivable 2. Expel the survivors, presenting it as "helping refugees resettle." Anyone who objects will be presented as "wanting Gazans to suffer." 3. Resettle the territory. They know nobody will stop them.

Yes, if you spent time at the college encampments you'd constantly hear from students who didn't care about Gaza at all, but rather risked their diplomas and future job prospects because they just desperately wanted to win an internal factional battle within the Democratic Party.

Following an online tirade from the self-described "white nationalist" far-right influencer Laura Loomer, the State Department shut down temporary visas for children severely injured in Gaza to receive medical care. commondreams.org/news/loomer-ga…

"The babies that starved to death don't count because they were already sick and unable to get the food, medicine, and treatment they needed to live" is such pathetic and gross genocide apologia. I know all these people sleep soundly at night but I wouldn't be able to live with

there’s a lot to criticize about a strategy of democrats leaning into transphobia/homophobia but i do have to say how this has completely revealed the blatant crybully strategy the right has adopted for the last decade

While this is obviously not true, I can understand why a person who has never sincerely believed anything in his entire life would think it is.

What does this mean? Is there any indication that these women are leftists? Is skipping across the street on a hobby horse a leftist stereotype I am not familiar with? Seriously, what does this mean?

I can't believe the media is trying to claim that there's a malnutrition crisis in Gaza and citing cases involving children who have preexisting conditions like rickets. No I have not Googled "rickets," why do you ask?

custer is kind of an idiot for showing up to a battle called "custer's last stand"

I dunno man, if I had supported the Iraq war, had advocated the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, had vouched for the cognitive robustness of Joe Biden and had celebrated Sam Bankman-Fried as someone who was "for real" in his ethical claims, I might not want to accuse other people

It’s been a minute since I was in public school, but we were very much NOT allowed to use smart phones during class time. Even if a ringtone went off in your backpack, a teacher might get mad. Has this changed recently? Is it normal for kids to just be on the phone in class now??
