I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

What the actual fuck, Ro Khanna? The best you're going to be able to come up with is you didn't know who Ian Carroll is--a very old antisemitic conspiracy theorist; a fascist. (I say that as a fierce critic of Israeli genocide.) What's next, Alex Jones?

Really cool that Khanna is talking to someone who obviously wants to finish what the nazis started with the Jews though.

Great idea for an interview.

Lol

I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking.

I think this more of a conversation about the possibilities within the system vs outside it.

I ultimately think he is making too many compromises and if this is the best we can do, that's a real problem.

Classic CBC. "Bill could lead to law enforcement acting more freely in Canada"

How does a US bill lead to this, without Canada actively allowing this? Can we use the active voice? Can we actually use words the way that journalists are supposedly able to?

She's very purposely throwing vulnerable people under the bus to get power. It is totally indefensible.

I think this stuff is really really bad in the sense that when all the powerful people are fighting this way, it always hits everyone else harder.

But we already knew that and James getting indicted isn't some huge escalation.

Not that it's good that the regime is doing this, it's pretty bad actually, but they've already been terrorizing tons of people who the press doesn't like or socialize with.

If I want to be nice I can say that as a trans person, she feels the need to do their bidding to ingratiate herself from the massive amount of attacks her way.

I'm not in the mood to be nice. She's a very powerful person using that power to do the bidding of fascist enablers.

He has been kidnapping people, throwing them into concentration camps, a bunch of random people are getting shot and he’s also been murdering random people in the Carribean but sure, this indictment is what truly scares me.
