Hard agree.
I needed your humor so badly!
I expect better from you.
My advice is to remember that the working class isn’t just straight white Christian males.
“I don’t always go on social media, but when I do, I insult as many people as I can!”
I swear, BlueSky has become Twitterfied. You may disagree with me—or more likely misunderstand what I’m saying. You may question it to your heart’s content. But if you call me names or accuse me of spurious behavior, I’ll block you.
Fuck them!
When you accuse a person in earnest of lying, you make all further discourse impossible. I’m just going to have to discount everything you say and block you.
Some did! And you know what? It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. Everyone is entitled to a decent life without fear of persecution or harm. We all mean well, but the propaganda of malignant narcissists have obfuscated the issue and turned us against each other.
Jews are being attacked on the street because of this. Trump’s policies have killed 10s of millions of people, but I haven’t seen as much vitriol spilled over this than over Israel. Why is that?
Historical facts don’t support what you said. Palestinians migrated to the area fairly recently. Moreover, Mizrahi Jews are indigenous Levantine people who migrated to Israel to escape persecution by the Muslims.
Actually, I agree with everything you said above. I don’t think I said anything to contradict this. I supported Kamala’s plan for a two-state solution. Many Democratic voters sat out because they bought the propaganda that her presidency wouldn’t be good for Palestinians. Look what they got!
Right. I asked for a clarification of the “stupidity” statement and another one of her followers provide that.
I grew up with antisemitism. Today, many younger Jews think that if they condemn Israel forcefully enough, they won’t be targeted by the new wave of antisemitism. They are wrong. Israel’s genocide is another excuse to hate Jews, regardless of our opposition to it.
I guess somebody said it!
You underestimate the power of a corrupt malignant narcissist to ruin a country. Just look at the US.
Do we think that Netanyahu is intentionally destroying Israel in revenge for being indicted for fraud? It’s definitely in the malignant narcissist playbook.
I know that. Disagreement among Jews on nuances and subtle issues is a major part of our culture.
Only Israel is being called out for annihilation. It’s subtle. But I now realize that Netanyahu is motivated by revenge on Israel for his indictment for fraud. Who else benefits from the genocide? Well, Trump for one (real estate). Certainly not the Israelis.
I need to block you because you are niw spouting untruths.
The UN
As I said, I never liked that guy. But thanks for explaining it.
Also, the US was founded on genocide, as you probably know. The internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII is considered genocide. Finally, the current mass extraordinary rendering of American residents and citizens or their detention in concentration camps by race is genocide.
They are 1) killing civilians and 2) 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted and are being raised as Russians. That fits the UN definition of genocide.
I’m sorry you don’t like what I wrote. I hope you find peace in a gentler, more respectful world.
We will not be able to stop genocide if we allow the bad guys to turn us against each other.
I see you identify as queer. The people who want Jews dead want you dead as well. In a sane world, we’d work together to end genocide once and for all.
If you got that from what I said, then you are chest deep in propaganda.
I read the room accurately. People are always looking for an excuse to bash innocent Jews and Netanyahu the war criminal has given the world that excuse.
I don’t disbelieve you. I never liked Bill Clinton. Still, there is so much did information around Palestine that I’d like to see what he said. It’s the opposite of what Harris said.
I’m surprised that you deduced that from what I said. Let me try a different approach: right now, there is also genocide in Sudan, genocide in Ukraine, and genocide in the US. But only Israel is being called out for destruction. Why is that?
I support the independence of Ukraine, which is my ancestral homeland.
That Jews are always fucked no matter what they do.
The problem is when Israel follows an immoral policy, all Jews are blamed. A single malignant narcissist—and their cult—can destroy the standing of a country in the world. As we see here as well. But people still aren’t calling for the destruction of the US and death to all Americans.
The original Zionists purchased property from the Ottomans. Arabs weren’t forced off their land when Israel became a state. They were told to leave by Arab leaders. Nevertheless, facts are always irrelevant when it comes to discrimination against Jews.
I’d like to understand what you meant about Palestinians and Israel. I don’t see the analogy with the other things you mentioned.
Let’s replace them with the old racist, sexist, and ableist terminology! How about “white trash” for “food insecure.”
“Crime” is a catchphrase used by Fascists to obfuscate THEIR actual crimes.
You have a right to be uninterested. So get the fuck off my feed!
An Entitlement is technically something you own because you paid for it. A house is an entitlement, as is an insurance policy (Medicare) or annuity (Social Security). Entitlements are good things.
Or if the Trump holdovers in the FBI and the corrupt Supreme Court hadn’t stymied everything he tried to do.
You need to stop the fucking accusations of illicit drug use . Did I make you mad? Some radical leftist you are! More of a fraud, I’d say.
it strikes me as hypocritical that you are so concerned about one type of genocide (I presume in Gaza) but don’t seem as concerned about the same that is now happening in the United States. Who do you think it’s OK to kill? Why do you think it’s OK to throw ANYONE under the bus?
Best case is that you don’t understand trans issues. Either you don’t understand that anti-trans legislation is a death sentence for trans kids—or does genocide have to happen in a foreign country before it’s abhorrent to you?
I know your situation is difficult, but with your difficulties, you teach us what’s really important. Being with my kids was the most precious moments of my life and it goes by so quickly!
Dear Moderate Democrats (aka Fascist Sympathizers): If you throw trans people under the bus, you also throw their families, their friends, their coworkers, their colleagues, their clients, and their vendors under the bus. That’s a whole lotta people to throw under the bus! For what?
It’s about time we start renaming political movements as what they’ve become. Republicans are Fascists. Centrists are Fascists. Moderates are Fascist Sympathizers.
Because laughing at fascism is the time-tested method of destroying it.
You might need a break from social media!
Drug policy has always been racist. Racism doesn’t work.
But you’re OK with him throwing trans kids under the bus? Is that not as chic as condemning Israel?
C’mon elderly white hippies in DC! It’s time to show your face!
Y’know if you’re going to insult someone, you might want to double check to see if what you said makes any sense whatsoever!
I just blocked this guy. What a jerk!
I try to be funny. I appreciate the compliment!
Malignant narcissists are more alike than they are different.
In these troubled times, the inability of the minority leader to form an effective opposition is a great failure. The high prices is now primarily a MAGA issue. We are more worried about our friends, family, and neighbors being kidnapped and tortured. I’d ask him what was wrong with him, too.
The fact that I agree with her that Jeffries has let us down in a big way is not the point. But that this one post has caused you to lose all RESPECT for her? Could you say that is not a little bit authoritarian, if not misogynistic?
DC has the worst crime problem in the US, but it’s all by people paid by our taxes to commit them.
X is the Tasmanian devil of social media. They can look very cute one moment and bite your arm off the next. It has all the vitriol of Twitter but also suppresses the truth. Advice: get yourself free.
I support what he’s doing with this, but thank you for calling out his egregious stance on trans people.
Aw c’mon. You KNOW that wasn’t what he was trying to say. He was trying to say: “I’m a senile son-of-a-bitch and have no idea what I’m talking about.”
For sure!
It sounds like it’s time to stop comparing the Nat-C’s to the Nazis and look at what they’re doing in their own right.
Politico has degenerated into a right-wing propaganda source. Everything they say needs to be verified.
Over 25% of the population of Israel came out today to protest their government’s policies. With our pitiful 3%, who do we Americans think we are to criticize Israelis?
If he hadn’t thrown my trans friends, family, and colleagues under the bus, he might have had my full support.
Remember when Donald punched Junior out for not wearing a suit? I hope Zelenskyy’s allies are ready!
With all the impending natural disasters we face, it’s probably best if blue state governors reserve their National Guard for what they signed up to do.
People seem to view everything as absolutes. He may help us elect Democrats in 2026. But if those Democrats compromise with Fascist ideas, then it was all a waste of time. Newsom has shown himself not to be the one that will help marginalized people.
A spoon makes a very poor knife and vice versa. If Newsom in the remaining days of his term can help keep the Fascists from taking over permanently, I will support him on that. Especially if it distracts him from other work that I agree is unacceptable.
Trump’s deal-making has always been a fiction. In his head and in his ghost writers.
American history: genocide, slavery, Jim Crow, internment camps, the Electoral College—too early to call the experiment failed because we haven’t tried democracy yet.
But they also advance the final goal of destroying democracy, so they must be taken seriously.
You said it!
This is a typical Democratic response: let’s throw our base under the bus in an attempt to appeal to a few white male voters who won’t vote for me in any case.
Jeffries is a disappointment, to put it gently.
I will continue to reject “masculity” wherever I see it.
Jared Diamond wrote an essay years ago about how men in hetero relationships spend most of their income on themselves.
But being found guilty of complying with an unlawful order?
Them and the rest of the Democratic and Independent Senators who didn’t stop them.
When one of the parties has gone full Fascist, reaching across the aisle is tantamount to capitulation.
Glad to hear you say that. Maybe the price will get lower for the rest of us.
Blubbery. It has 3 b’s
I had some serious reservations about things Buttigieg said when he ran for nomination in 2020. I’m sorry to say I wasn’t wrong. Throwing any queer group under the bus when you and your spouse are queer is just suicidal.
Moderates/Centrists to Fascists: We’re meeting you halfway, OK? Fascists: Sure, thanks. Now we only have half as far to go!
I’m reminded about what Charlotte Clymer recently wrote about maintaining the brand.
My take on work requirements for Medicaid: if you want government handouts and you don’t WANT to work, run for Congress.
To your point: no, we can’t imagine Biden doing that and Trump did that and our side IS losing its mind.
It’s no different than what Texas has always been doing since white people took it over.
The entertainment industry has always been motivated by profit over ethics and we shouldn’t be surprised at the lengths Paramount was willing to go to for approval of its merger.
Let’s not be scared. Let’s be FURIOUS!
As is the rest of the world, the Arab world in particular.
I wonder what’s wrong with the 32%
He will call this “fake news” but in his heart, he will be overjoyed at the news.
As a native New Yorker and during my lifetime, there have been only two mayors who have embodied the spirit of New York: John Lindsay and Ed Koch. This guy definitely has it!
You’ll have to ask the Japanese American citizens who were hauled off to concentration camps.
Just wow! And as a cis het man who does most of the cooking for my family, even I take offense at this.
Fascists always say that their victims are criminals, most often child molesters. This is pure projection on their part. You don’t have to fact check their statements. They are lies.
This is the kind of stuff that I want to disagree with. But I can’t. Every word of it rings true.
