I live in a city of immigrants. It’s fun. It makes the city lively and interesting. I love it. The whites-only crowd are crazy.

Given the DHS talk of "remigration" and private chats revealing the overtly Nazi stances of the NY Young Republicans, it would be really good for those opposed to show up October 18 then continue to collaborate in their communities, because all this will get worse and worse until we act to stop it.

I hate this so much. People I know and care about could disappear at any time. And for what? A national of Nazis in power? A president that is shaking down the world? It’s frightening and humiliating and it makes me so sad.

These are the people who will become Republican leaders, if we let them.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Republicans did this because that is who they are. They are not good people. Not at this time. Not in this place. They must lose every bit of power. Those who broke the law must be arrested. And those who supported them in the media must be banished.

Most people think we should welcome the penitent to the tent and they are wrong. This is not our first rodeo. Every time Rs elevate a leader who screws the pooch, they perform regret until the storm is past, helpfully guiding us around the punishment stage and straight to the rebuilding stage.

Trump just murdered six more people off the coast of Venezuela.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

When you strip away all the crap, what is left is their bloodlust. They want to kill. Miller is open about it. Noem already does it. Trump has said he wants to do it. Hegseth rants about a culture of killing. And the R voters put them in office to harm their imaginary enemies.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Most people have always vastly underestimated the amount of terrible people in the world. We rightfully try to look for the good in humanity but we should never forget that the bad is always trying to destroy the good.

Nothing but appeals to authority.
Woke, in their lexicon, is the rejection of authoritarianism. Obedience to authority is how they think they will obtain power and therefore breaking the authoritarian bond is of utmost importance.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

they have been trying to do meme authoritarianism, and that means generating the right kinds of content--the forces of Order vs the forces of Chaos, riots and violence and burning shit and ""antifa supersoldiers""

the kind of imagery to justify the kind of powers they aspire to

Mamdani is going to win. The question will now be, "Can you reproduce this?" It's doubtful. He's talented. But it's possible, first of all, if you remember all politics is local, and the more local you get - the more people recognize you - the more things like age and parties cease to matter.

The eternal question: stupid or evil. Weiss is not stupid. She is evil. Never forget how she made her bones: as a student at Columbia, she led a campaign to accuse Arab professors of bias, anti-semitism, and intimidating students, to ruin their careers.

She knows exactly what she is doing.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

A little frustrating that bsky moderation prevents us from seeing violence like this

Interaction between Derek Guy and Matt Stoller on X, the Everything App. Stoller: "Your weird insecurities aside, you consistently lie that native born Americans can't and never have made clothes, and push offshoring in sleazy ways. Then when confronted you have to talk about your left wing views. You're slime." Guy replies: "not true. i've been writing about and promoting US-made clothes for about fifteen years. an early article that comes to mind is my love for 3sixteen jeans, which are made in los angeles. that was published in 2011, the year the second iraq war ended, a war you promoted."

In 2020 we published in TIME about the $50 trillion upward redistribution of income since 1975. The editors told us it was one of their most widely read online pieces ever, and begged us for more. Four years later we pitched an update ($79 trillion)—they weren't interested.
