I’ve been doing canvassing helping my local party & other regions for @greenparty.org.uk.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it, talked to a diverse group of people with different opinions & questions. I don’t dodge or push, I’m not like the others as I know how it feels to be let down.
This is a good post 👇🏼
In the 1630s, Winthrop had overseen the massacre of at least 700 Indigenous people during the so-called Pequot war.
"The ties between Harvard University and the Caribbean are myriad and consist of densely layered networks of wealthy families, trade, political power and violence."

Read this. And feel scared. It's important to recognize that the phenomenon is indeed scary. But the takeaway is -- be vigilant.

Mamdani understanding that leftists are a minority and that building a coalition with liberals is the only way to build a majority is why he is successful.
The quicker the left understands that, the quicker they’ll start winning.
Yeah, I know Barack Obama, the former and most popular President of the United States of America has spoken out in favor of it.
But have you heard my dog's opinion?

Ah, there were _attacks_. I thought it was just a glitch.
Confused? You should be.
I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.
He did not argue for "convergence" theory, but he didn't have to. The idea that the U.S. economy and the Soviet economy would both end up looking like giant versions of Sweden was practically in the water fountains at most top schools.

Uh, Bialer and Afferica argued in 1982 that the Soviet economy was "a gigantic economy administered by intelligent and trained professionals" that would "not go bankrupt" and in no danger of a systemic crisis.
Not sure where you went to school, but the following year I was in Bialer's classroom. /1

So it appears that the “Door Dash Grandma” is just another Republican scam
Really, is anyone surprised? At all?
Has Iranian state TV paid a $787 million settlement for spreading lies about an election?
Hillary Clinton "This is hard work. You don't just show up in Islamabad, talk for a bunch of hours, and go away. This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don't see this admin either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing"
to keep functioning, a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Magyar’s gotta pull a Mamdani and show up at the White House with a mocked up NY Post front page that says “Trump saves Hungary!”
He’ll be his best friend.
Pope Leo: "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here I think is not understanding what the message of the gospel is."

Electing Trump a second time says something about America, something deeply wrong. Even if a majority of Americans aren't into Trump or Trumpism per se now that they're experiencing term 2 in practice.

🚨 Euphoria in Budapest!
Tens of thousands of people are flooding the streets to celebrate the opposition’s stunning victory. The scenes in the metro are absolutely incredible.
What a night! 🇭🇺✨
Viktor Orbán was the furthest thing from an underdog.
He had centralized power for years and was supported by many of the world’s most powerful people.
He also had social media on his side.
Some of his extremely powerful supporters:
🚨🚨Impossible to understate the importance of #Órban's defeat for European politics and world politics with an utter rejection of #MAGA as a policy style by the Hungarian electorate.
The world is already shining with new light after the #Hungarianelections. 🧵

My response to Eric Swalwell. And trust me this is as sincere as I can be.
Applying total systemic friction on the cartels. On April 11, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted two lethal kinetic strikes on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed, and one narco-terrorist survived the first strike. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during the second strike. Following the engagements, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
Meanwhile, the lawless killing spree at sea continues.
Trump didn’t just emerge as a blasphemous autocrat / swindler of the Christian Right. They’ve had one Trumpian figure after another their entire lives because the entire culture is absolutely rotted through with swindlers and abusers. He’s actually quite comforting and familiar to them.
