What?? It's the same federal agents. The entire operation is still a terror campaign against my city and state. They're still brutalizing observers for offenses they can't even charge. It all wasn't some big misunderstanding rooted in a lack of professionalism. www.kare11.com/article/news...

This is in part why I don't necessarily think the divide in the US is strictly between doctrinaire Zionism and anti-Zionism, though these can be useful self sorting mechanisms, but between those who simply think Israel *has the right* to rule over Palestinians and those who do not.
The underlying political consensus prior to Oct 2023 in the US was that Palestine was an internal issue which the Israelis were entitled to managing for the indefinite future. This was the view of all in DC but literally just a handful. The divide was on the *preference* for *how* Israel managed it.
Most of the time whether implicitly or explicitly what is being said is that there was a ceasefire for Israeli Jews.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

There’s a guy in A2 who stands on Washtenaw every Saturday morning with signs decrying the genocide in Gaza, but also one that asks “did six million really die?” He’s not interested in the plight of Palestinians; he’s looking for an excuse to air his antisemitism. Fuck him. This doesn’t help Gazans.
Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him.
I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

Hasan is definitely one of those people who (like Sneako) only supported Zohran Mamdani because he thought Zohran was actually an antisemite.

Legitimately a remarkable victory for liberalism, broadly defined, that these sorts of situations, which are *all over* Europe (Alsace-Lorraine, the Basque Country, the entire country of Belgium) at one point were bloody ethnic conflicts, do not generate anything stronger than shitposting arguments.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

“Living in America” isn’t some special award that we have to dole out carefully. It’s not a prize or a gold medal. It doesn’t hurt me to have neighbors like Liam Ramos. These people are such stupid freaks.

NEW: McSweeney allies suggest he carried can for Starmer over Mandelson decision. They say it was wrong to suggest he pushed for appointment, and was careful to ensure others shared views, which were unanimous. “He gave his advice, but that’s all it was. Keir made the decision.”

YES. Observers have spent too much time worrying about anonymity and secrecy in an effort to avoid after-the-fact consequences. But those consequences are extremely unlikely - first, you’re doing nothing illegal, and second, they literally don’t have the legal manpower to prosecute almost anyone.
This is why the are already dropping the felony charges against the 22 folks arrested last week. They don't have the goods and no one to do the work to prosecute.

If you are a any kind of a mainstream dem in a red state RUN FOR THE SENATE
Just by looking at a cursory glance of the turnout by precinct, this doesn't look like a case of Democratic areas turning out more than Republican areas.
In fact, the opposite. Chasity Martinez won by winning over a bunch of Trump voters
