This is why you do indeed need SOME level of purity tests in your party. The fact that it took Alan Dershowitz this long to feel unwelcome is a condemnation.

Of course it's real. This is what zionism is. Can we get comments from Mike Huckabee and Joe Biden?

Matt Yglesias two weeks ago: idk what happened but something sure has led to a huge shift in Democratic support for Palestine.

Matt Yglesias today: so as far as I can tell the goal of pro-Palestine protests was to elect Trump?

😑

Palantir: "Hey Donny our stock ain't doing so well, could you send some juice our way?"

Trump: "Say no more, guys!"

[Palantir aside] "Do you think we should tell him not to make it too obvious? Like not to put the ticker symbol in the tweet?"

"Nah, why would he be that dumb?"

I think a bunch of college kids camping out to demand Trump stop being complicit in Israeli atrocities would have somewhere between zero and negative impact on regime policy, yes.

These kids aren't stupid. There is actually a reason they appeal to Democrats and not Republicans.

"How come when we claim to stand for something and betray it, people protest, but when the GOP doesn't even pretend to stand for something and behaves consistently, nobody protests" is a stupid question.

And it moves from stupid to outright offensive when you helped crush those very protests.

For thousands of years, people have looked at the cosmos and wondered: if I were much closer to those things, would they appear much larger in my view?

CNN has the answer.

You know this was a war crime right? Like, Harris literally lost the election because she was unrepentant about the war crimes she'd committed and pledged to keep committing?

Who had Trump tweeting "Praise be to Allah" to his supporters on Easter Sunday on their bingo cards?

Whatever else you want to say about Pezeshkian's open letter, I'll give him one thing: it's been nearly a decade since a President has addressed the American people in fluent, intelligible English.

Thought that was pretty cool.

Lol, zionism has lost Matt Yglesias. I repeat: zionism has lost Matt Yglesias.

It's CPAC week alright

- Why'd you join ICE, son?

- The girl I like is going to prom with some asshole because nobody respects nice guys like me.

- Got it, here's a gun.

Happy 9th anniversary to one of my all time favorite headlines. A true poster child of the exonerative voice writing style.

On March 2nd, this fact pattern was the mainstream narrative on the war (as reported by a gaggle of NYT reporters). By March 17th, the exact same factual assertions were an "antisemitic conspiracy theory." You figure it out.

Pretty sure this goes well beyond "thoughts and prayers," buddy.

lol, the suggestion that zionists limit their efforts to influence US foreign policy to "wanting" is absurd and shameful.

Being careful not to engage in hyperbole... I think if I were the president and my underlings were giving quotes like this to the media, I'd have them thrown from a cliff

All these journos soliciting statements from Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden that they weren't the "former president" who Trump says confided in him they wish they'd attacked Iran... has anyone checked with the 45th President?

Because honestly, that guy's the only suspect I'd even have on the list.

Martin, Schumer, Jeffries, Harris really sat down, looked at this data, and thought "wow I really like where that green line is headed, let's hitch our entire future to that!"

IDK how I only just realized Schumer and Jeffries wouldn't be my pick to run a political party even if you limited me to "teammates named Chuck and Hakeem"

Great job Chuck and Hakeem.

I know I'm going to hell for laughing at this. I know that. But just.... here.

lol, can we get some figures on global deaths caused by American-made weapons, and some analysis of what it means to declare the US is at war with every country on the list?

I think 100% of US casualties in Iraq were caused by the US government invading and occupying Iraq.

am i having a stroke

ok I'm done now sorry

Imagine a GenZer, whose entire life has occurred under this dumbassery, trying to watch some 1992 movie where a room full of civic minded (if imperialist) bureaucrats sit around a table smartly debating options

It might as well be set on Mars for all the similarity it bears to their life experience

One of my morbid hobbies in these horror times is taking 80s/90s political thrillers and imagining Trumpism in place of neoliberalism.

oh hey, turns out one individual senator can completely shut down the US Senate any time they want to. Has anyone told Chuck Schumer this?
