Wild how every one of these tweets is just an open acknowledgment of a capital strike and committing to repeatedly breaking tenant law. “Nice rent freeze you got, now we will petulantly punish you by not maintaining your building” ok cool you should be stripped of all your wealth

Congrats to the 2M rent stabilized apt dwellers, you win a rent freeze. Since your landlords’ expenses weren’t frozen, don’t be surprised if the state of your building deteriorates. For market rate renters, this won’t help you. In fact, policies like this scare housing

The average listener would hear this speech and be surprised to learn Murphy technically supports the MOU which he mumbles, in vague and normative terms, at the very end. I esp like the part where he says (supportively of course!) it makes future “nuclear negotiations” impossible

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop. That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

In 1981, the PLO laid down its arms in Lebanon, scrupulously upheld a ceasefire for nearly a year, and offered to recognize Israel via a two-state settlement. Israel responded with an unprovoked invasion, killing 15-20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese.

On 20 February 1939, thousands of Nazi supporters rallied in New York City, waving German flags and Nazi symbols, and cheering Nazi speakers, as a Nazi genocide raged in Europe. On 31 May 2026, thousands of Zionist supporters rallied in New York City, waving Israeli flags and Zionist symbols, and cheering Zionist speakers, as a Zionist genocide rages in Palestine. If you can condemn the former, but not the latter, it’s time to consider your own racist complicity in the Holocaust of our time.

WaPo editorial board, two weeks ago: $1.5T for the military, obviously. WaPo editorial board, today: universal healthcare? Can’t afford it.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

The US: - occupies part of Cuba with a military base & torture camp - has 800+ military bases globally - spends $1 tr a year on war - is waging multiple wars - tried to assassination Cuba's former President 637 times The US is the greatest threat to the world, esp to Cuba.

I was the only person in my family who voted for Zelenskyy. And because of it, I ended up in a bitter fight with my mother at Easter. What should have been a family gathering turned into a political battlefield. “Army. Language. Faith” will destroy Ukraine, I argued with my relatives. I warned that toxic ethnic nationalism, fused with militarization and hysterical Russophobia, would deepen authoritarianism, normalize censorship and repression, and lock the country into a permanent state of war. Back then, however, I associated all of this with Poroshenko and his camp - not with Zelenskyy. Not with the Russian-speaking, secular Jew who promised he would “kneel before Putin” if that was what it took to end the war. Not with the man for whom Bandera was no hero, and the OUN-UPA were those who had “shot Red Army soldiers in the back.” I could not have imagined, even in my darkest nightmare, that under President Zelenskyy, neo-Nazis would penetrate virtually every sector of the defense and security apparatus; that Nazi collaborators would be glorified at the state level; that entire military regiments would bear their names. I never believed that the Azov movement would evolve from a marginal fringe into two full military corps, or that men once involved in pogroms against Roma and Vietnamese communities would receive high military ranks and positions of power. Most of all, I never imagined that I - a Jewish woman and a Holocaust scholar - would become a target of neo-Nazis directed by the security services of a state whose president is himself Jewish. Today is a day of reckoning for my political choices. I find myself reflecting on what, if anything, I can still do to help undo their catastrophic consequences.

As a Michigander I really want to hear exactly what I don't want that people on the coasts do. I mean, spit it out. This is insulting, implying that we are simpler, less sophisticated in our needs and desires because of where we live.

If Democrats want to win, we have to listen to the middle of the country. What works on the coasts doesn't automatically work in places like Michigan, Iowa, or Ohio. Figure out what works in the middle, and the rest follows.

We spoke to reporter Zaynab Faraj, who survived a triple-tap attack that killed her colleague, Amal Khalil. She described how an Israeli strike first hit a car ahead of them, killing two civilians, before a second strike targeted their own vehicle, severely injuring Amal. Ms Faraj said she helped her into an empty house, where they lay wounded and terrified, waiting for help. A third Israeli strike then hit the building where they were hiding, collapsing it on top of them. “Amal was gone,” Ms Faraj said. “And I was left alone.” Throughout the ordeal, the journalists made repeated calls for help. But Israel prevented the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese Red Cross from reaching them, informed sources told us.

Blaming Iran for "prevent[ing] Israeli-Palestinian peace" instead of, say, over a century of Zionist settler-colonialism, 80 years of Israeli expansionist ethnic cleansing, 60 years of occupation and apartheid, and ongoing obstructionist state policy is peak @TheAtlantic.

The liberal mind’s inability to grasp that protesting Dems isn’t intended to abstractly hurt them/help Republicans, but to push them to stop bad and unpopular policies like genocide, will never cease to amaze me. The tactic isn’t “make Trump win.” It’s “pressure Biden/Harris to adopt a policy that is fundamentally moral AND would make him more electable.” Harris could’ve won but she chose to prioritize Israeli apartheid.

Trump: “I’m going to commit a genocide” Democrats: “Did you get congressional approval first?”

Guy, do you support providing the iron dome or an iron dome-like defensive system to Gaza and Iran? If it’s “purely defensive” then why wouldn’t we fund those everywhere as a humanitarian gesture? Why not for Russia, China and Lebanon?

Iron Dome (purely defensive) saves so many innocent lives and AOC is now apparently committed to defunding it. Wrong types of lives that system is saving, it seems.
