In Mayor Adams’ bootleg Zohran video about subway heat he: 1) says he likes dogs better than people who vote for him 2) doesn’t edit out lady who said his subway is unsafe 3) resolves with him saying he can’t do anything about the subway 4) abruptly concludes with the…
As mayor, I made subway safety a top priority. People feel safer, and ridership is high. I’m calling on the MTA to do something about this heat!
Geniuenly, what the fuck is wrong with the US, like there is literally no upside to this.
A Tennessee school district has decided that they do not care if a child is sick & has a Dr's note, the district will no longer consider a medically diagnosed sickness with a Dr's note to be an excused absence and is prepared to take parents to court over it.
if people bringing food and medicine to emaciated diseased infants are your enemy then you are the unequivocal enemy of the world
⚡️BREAKING: Israel has intercepted the Handala boat. The Israeli army has intercepted, raided and kidnapped the Handala Freedom Flottila which was seeking to deliver aid & break the Israeli siege on Gaza. They reportedly took down the security cameras.
this implies that the dire situation in gaza happened overnight, as opposed to being the final chapter in a series of escalating horrors by the state of israel. not just callous, completely implausible
This was you, smiling and posing with indicted war criminal Yoav Gallant just three weeks after his ICC indictment for "the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of…
Witnessing the catastrophic hunger and suffering of civilians, especially children, women, the sick and elderly, in Gaza has been heartbreaking. The crisis in Gaza must be met with an immediate and drastic surge in life-saving resources, such as desperately needed food, water,…
Comical that centrist writers are writing off early leftist warnings of Israeli genocide as “the boy who cried wolf” when our analysis was based on an analysis of Zionist political intentions that proved completely accurate.
Again this is something Israeli leaders openly said they would do and did and human rights groups have thoroughly detailed both words and actions aimed at starving Gaza for 22 months. It’s probably the most well-documented criminal conspiracy in human history.
the most damning evidence in this report? When Def Minister Yoav Gallant, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Energy Minister Israel Katz “made public statements expressing their aim to deprive civilians in Gaza of food, water and fuel” Sorta makes the case a slam dunk
Once again the Left is wrong for being right too early. Never mind that Israeli leaders openly detailed their plans for—and boasted about —weaponizing starvation. This wasn’t some out of the blue disaster. They spent years smearing and bombing the only party providing food.
This is depraved and obscene even by normal Matt Y standards. Simultaneously smug, massively fucking dumb, racist, sniveling and ass covering. Palestinians are simply incapable of being witness to their own genocide, they’re all liars but an Israeli says it now so listen up
Of course, this is just blatantly untrue and so gross
Waiting until it’s absolutely safe, when there’s nothing to risk, and after tens of thousands have been killed and starved, to finally say something, is such a great sign of moral cowardice that it’s unsurprising that the same people would demand respect for their opportunism.
Tweeting "I told you so" at people who change their mind about what's happening in Gaza does nothing to help the kids who are being starved to death. Welcome people into the tent. Build a bigger coalition and use it to force political change.
Just another coterie of people living in their own false reality
The thing conservatives are most correct about is that mainstream liberals have a baffling tendency to be soft on the kind of hard leftists who quite openly admit that they want to kill liberals.
who are the "hard leftists who quite openly admit that they want to kill liberals"?---- just curious. (& please don't say that you are respecting their privacy by not providing their names since your claim is that they "quite openly admit" to wanting to commit murder.)

Do not let these freaks off the hook, their propaganda is what manufactured the consent for this shit in the first place. Piers called the first flotilla a “selfie yacht”
The world is watching this happen and doing nothing to stop it. WHY?
The liberal class has decided - now that there cannot exist a shred of doubt as to the reality of what’s happening and the damage is already done to a point that’s strikingly difficult to recover - that now is the time to make the apologies, write the article and reclaim their…
Why is British corporate media suddenly telling the truth about Gaza?
If you're talking about your dental hygienist aunt, sure. If you're talking about politicians & media figures who expect to go from making 6-7 figures influencing atrocities to making 6-7 figures crying over the results & still bullshitting about their causes, absolutely not.

It’s been almost two fucking years if you still don’t get what the situation is you are either stupid or evil, that’s it

It’s always sad when professors look at some incredibly vague thing and take the wrong lesson entirely
Too many Democrats are deeply in denial about how badly we need to move back to the political center.
