The Bad Side

Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.
I find the idea of “bread and butter issues,” which is almost always employed pejoratively on the left, extremely pernicious. A paramilitary occupation of your city IS a material issue! It’s not symbolic politics! It directly affects your entire life
Something rank and file unionists (and even electoral organizers) need to reconcile is the mass politicizing issues that often start mass strike waves and protests are often not the bread and butter grievances they insist we only focus on
white boy *SHOCKS* everyone, makes an argument in perfect Nonsense
What is it about Minneapolis that the two tragic ICE shootings took place there within two or so weeks of each other? Could it really be a coincidence? It is almost as if the governor of Minnesota called for protestors to intervene in ICE enforcements in an incendiary manner?…
The main character of this 'story' is a Walmart and FedEx lobbyist complaining Mamdani denied her access. Good.
None of Mamdani's Deputy Mayors Are Black. It Has Become a Problem. — NYT
Christian nationalist pastor says that wives must submit to their husbands with "a sense of fear, and trembling, and awe ... not only in things she agrees with, but in everything": "She belongs to him. He owns her."
“Genocide inversion”—possibly the most fascist phrase ever
Hey Claire. NYer here who doesn’t appreciate your genocide inversion or antisemitism. Khalil needs to go. He’s not a New Yorker. He’s a bigot who terrorized Jewish students. You don’t speak for NYers.
Someday—in utopia—we will be able to have a lucid conversation about the neurotic social symptom that is the black political establishment

You’re all so fucking insane
The end of peak woke can be dated to October 7, 2023. That's the day that Gaza began replacing "wokeness" as the primary litmus test for progressives. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…
When you guys groan that “woke is back” you don’t seem intelligently aloof from the culture war. You sound like its most horrific intellectual casualty 😂

On December 8, 1987, an Israeli tank transporter drove through a line of cars carrying Palestinian workers across the Erez military checkpoint to the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip,...
Seeing lefty podcast pundits do film criticism has been an apocalyptic experience
Please stop describing someone or something as “not above criticism.” Yes. We know. This is the most criticism-prone epoch in human history, a veritable golden age of complaints. In fact, you are reading this on an app that single-handedly revolutionized grievance technology
It’s like the tendencies most obsessed with opsec don’t understand what that entails
Significant labor support for this call for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to stop the federal assault. Backers include ATU 1005, SEIU 26, UNITE HERE 17, SPFE, and organizers tell me more unions are expected to join. "No work, no school, no shopping" inthesetimes.com/article/minnea…
Haven’t seen OBAA but why did you guys pay to see what looks like a bunch of hypercontemporary racial neuroses slapped on top of an extended, if affectionate, travesty of revolutionary subjectivity….You’re literally already on X
"A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department." rawstory.com/ice-agents-dat…
We desperately need to find a political way out of the fucked up “do you condemn” trap contrived by hardcore anti-Palestinian media. But if you realllly think it’s this easy you have a comically simplistic picture of politics
As if this isn’t an option: “People say all kinds of things at protests everyday, it’s a free country. I’m the Mayor, I’m not going to respond to everything people say on the streets of New York City because I’m too busy making this city affordable and livable for all.”
Meanwhile,
Fuck Javier Bardem. Fuck Susan Sarandon. Fuck Cynthia Nixon. Fuck Billie Eilish. Fuck Coldplay. Fuck Mark Rufallo. Fuck every last one of them. They never use their voice when it actually matters. Performative morons.
Kind of the most idiotic position yet
The anti-Zionist movement must firmly condemn these chants, not only because Hamas is in fact bad, but because they have an obviously ruinous effect on the pro-Palestine movement. You’re giving Zionists ammunition and putting Zohran in a compromising potion for nothing in return.
