Let's be clear:
There is no prematurely antifascist.
There is no prematurely antigenocide.

We're not trying to accurately diagnose the patient after the heart attack (whether in the hospital or the morgue).
We're responsible for seeing the risks as early as possible to take action to prevent it!

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

C’mon. Stop trying to play games when the system is on fire.
Let alone one time checks for Trump to sign and take credit for.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”
Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law
“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Powerful mourning procession for Gaza led by Jewish elders.
Stop the Genocide.
Let Gaza live.
All Images of a procession of people wearing black walking 2 by 2 holding cloth bundle effigies and signs with photos of killed Gazans. Banners say “mourn with us. Act with us.” And similar. Many participants are visibly elders.

Jeffries is impressively useless.
For those keeping score at home he has now voted to honor Charlie Kirk and praised our corrupt and Trump collaborating mayor before …

Endorsing the Democratic nominee.

Hard to imagine 2 people as ill suited to lead in this moment as Hakeem and Chuck.

NEW: Jeffries praises Eric Adams in a statement, saying he has "served courageously and authentically for decades" and that "meaningful progress has been made" during his mayoralty.

Says he will "publicly weigh in" on the mayoral race "well before the start of early voting.”

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

The fact that Ackman is suggesting this tells you just what his ethical principles look like and his investors, whoever they are, should flee his funds.

He’s literally advocating defrauding markets for personal gain. No institutional money should take the risk of putting their cash into his hands.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman suggests Eric Adams drop out of the New York mayoral race, but first "place a large bet on Andrew Cuomo and then announce your withdrawal from the race" to "fund [his] future".
Screenshot of the end of a long tweet: The mirror does not lie. Eric, please take a close and hard look. 

And to fund your future, you could place a large bet on Andrew Cuomo and then announce your withdrawal from the race. There is no insider trading on Polymarket.

He won in a deeply divided purple district … for assorted reasons that had little to do with progressives’ actions post-primary? Not remotely comparable. Or relevant here.
I don’t understand why you think my original post is a place for you to make this argument.

This is an 80% dem district. Republicans often don’t have a candidate. This is not relevant here. And coming in to threads about making our representatives represent us, instead of actively supporting Dems being better is super unhelpful. It’s part of WHY Dems are losing.

One of the good ones? Strong disagree. Despite being in one of the most progressive districts in the country he is consistently lagging on leadership, has zero connection to grassroots resistance in our district and has been so far out of step from on our district on the genocide that it’s obscene.

Part of me is annoyed at myself for letting this Israeli racist colonel get under my skin.

Part of me thinks we should in fact normalize telling genocidal war criminals to "fuck off" on television.
