This is the absolute dream challenger to Jeffries. Please, please, please let this happen.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

Natalie Portman with a shaved head in the film V for Vendetta, which is a movie not real life, gazes at the masked anarchist revolutionary V, who again, is not real life but based on a comic book character.

Liberalism is merely a continual search for vulnerable groups to throw under the bus in a sad, failing attempt to prop up dying white privilege. “I’m as liberal as they come!” protests the man asking for dead trans people. Yup, that’s the problem, sir.

not directing this at Greg but this is what BLM was all about. trying to explain to people that the guns they aim at Black folks just minding their own business will be turned on everyone if we dont course correct and here we are.

Weiss's ascendance represents the need for the wealth class to continue moving rightward as capitalism requires fascism. Individuals like Klein are there to help moderate white liberals begin to accept that "necessity." That's how this whole thing works and has always worked.

You know, if the Democrats were actually doing a good job of fighting back, I might at least emotionally understand why people are like “don’t criticize their historical complicity” but also they’re a fucking dumpster fire right now

not only did obama make extrajudicial killings chic during his tenure but he also gave tom homan his first job in ice and a medal for how good he was a deporting people. both sides share the blame and part of being a grown up is accepting that and working to change it.

anyone talking about bipartisanship ever again is either not a serious person or a bad actor. the time for uncompromising accountability is way passed due.

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 3d

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.

Every single one.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov so we're sending in state troopers to help ice create fascist propaganda?

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 5d

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

You can tell a lot about a society by its folk devils so it's interesting that ours seem to be migrants, trans folks and students: very different groups but the common denominator seems to be... self-improvement? You can kinda see why they would elicit resentment in an aging, sclerotic society...

Can’t emphasize how good it is to have moral clarity on issues that are clearly night and day. Some stuff? Complicated. But the stuff that isn’t? Gosh. It’s nice to not clown yourself, to look back and know you weren’t doing genocide apologia.
