@CaitlinPacific The critique from conservatives is not shout the pointedly anti-Soviet book by Orwell. It is about a current film that flips the script.

@ZaidJilani @BarbarianCap Ms. Davis had an interesting double standard on the carceral state, which involved looking the other way at the Soviet gulag system as her Communist Party membership dictated.
English
AOC sitting next to Ibram X. Kendi calling for abolishing police and prisons, citing Angela Davis.
"Destination is to have a society that doesn’t need prisons, that doesn't need police." Then she says "carceral system" isn't how to respond to rapists.

Far-rights nationalists teaming up with far-left socialists over their shared hatred of the Je- I mean Zionists? What a novel and unprecedented idea. Wonder what they’ll call this new amalgamation of people.
Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی@arash_tehran
You know, it's hard for me to not want to shout 'I told you so'. I always knew where this 'anti-elite', 'one-issue foreign policy' politics will end: open alliance with the far-right.

@MaineLogic @PolitiBunny I guess all dork-o-crats heralding Platner as authentic, really mean he is an authentic loser.

New poll shows Susan Collins with a double-digit lead over neo-Nazi Graham Platner.

New polling from the National Republican Congressional Committee on the upcoming primaries shows former Gov. LePage with a 10-point lead over both his Democratic contenders in the race for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. wgme.com/news/local/nrc…

@libsoftiktok @kessham The Pulitzer Committee has still not retracted the award it gave to the NYT journalist who denied the ongoing Holdomor fanine in The Ukraine. So of course the award here will remain
English
You literally cannot make this up
The photojournalist of this front page NYT piece Saher Alghorra just won a Pulitzer Prize
NYT had to issue a retraction because the entire story was fake
So you can win a pulitzer now after fabricating an entire hoax story 🤡
Unreal

The Free Palestine movement has brought America a new Charlottesville every. single. day.
The same chants, the same hate, the same Nazis, just somehow progressives decided to accept this as normal.

@daniela__127 Noam Chomsky tried to delegitimize Cambodian refugees and defend the Khmer Rouge regime for decades after that regime fell and the truth of The Killing Fields came out.
English
Vietnam War protesters mainly didn’t want to die, which is extremely valid! But the idea that those cheering on the Viet Cong and the ensuing Communist takeover of Vietnam (which created millions of refugees) were on “the right side of history” seems not quite the entire picture.
alex bronzini-vender@alexbronzini
Regarding whether Palestine activists will be considered on the “right side of history”—my bet is we remember them the way we remember anti-Vietnam War protesters. There was risible radicalism and grave violence, but their cause was just, so it recedes from memory
English
Does not surprise me that students with no skin in the game were amongst the most militant. They weren’t going to be affected by the ensuing Communist takeover, their families were not going to be made into refugees, so may as well have some fun with all of it!

Some popular chants among Vietnam protesters at Columbia. Barnard girls exhorted their classmates to “put down the bassinet, pick up the bayonet, give up detergent, become an insurgent!”

@MichaelRapaport @DidntBuildit Because The Mayor vetoed a bill that wouid have protected the school
English
These scumbags are planning to protest outside a Jewish children’s school in Manhattan today.
Not City Hall. Not a government building.
A SCHOOL.
With little kids.
This is 10 minutes from where the Mayor is staying. Ten minutes.
Because of this garbage, kids are being sent home early.
Parents are being told come get your children & cancel after-school programs. For their safety.
English
In a single election cycle, the DSA are running a literal Nazi in Maine, Babb in Pennsylvania who said that the Bondi Beach massacre victims deserved to be slaughtered because Israel exists, and El-Sayed in MI who praised Hamas.
We need to get this garbage out of our party
English
@annbauerwriter @jmasseypoet In her case, it is an example of what goes around, comes around. When will these BDS Jews learn thst they are never going to be pure enough in their Israel hatred to pass the “good Jew” litmus test.
English
For those of you who aren't lurking on LitTwit, the smashing, prolific bestselling writer R. F. Kuang is being 'cancelled' because of a single sentence describing a competent Israeli pianist in her forthcoming novel. So apparently we're not done doing that.

Oh my Lord. This? This is what's making BookTok turn on Rebecca Kuang?

@magi_jay The whole @TheDemocrats scares lifelong Jewish Democrats.

Who is "they?" This isn't just wrong. It's scary. It should scare you.

Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”

How many Americans have gotten drunk & decided ‘I’ll get the SS Death’s Head emblem tattooed on my chest, thats a great idea!’
Exactly how many Americans do you know that have done that, Betty? I only know one. A Nazi registered as a Democrat running for the US Senate in Maine.
And he knew EXACTLY what it was & what he was doing per his former campaign manager.
And that’s apparently who you’re voting for.
Betty Thomas@BettyThoma39281
@BygonesbeBygon7 @amaoesquerda @redsteeze R u saying no Americans have gotten drunk and gotten a stupid tattoo?

@Jerusalem_Post Funny. Because he still won’t pass the”Good Jew” litmus. His three weeks of support work for the IDF, and his grandsther’s service in Lehi, pre-independence, will never be overlooked
English
Opinion: Rahm Emanuel’s call to end US military aid to Israel is portrayed not as policy realism but as political opportunism: a former self-styled friend of Israel shedding old loyalties to fit a Democratic Party now hostile to Zionism.

@ResistanceSean If so, the loss is now owned by all of @TheDemocrats because they are so afraid of their left wing that they have done nothing to stand up to these bigots.
English
I am worried that Platner and El-Sayed could cost Dems the senate.
English
@Jay_McGill94 Virtually the entire set of the Democratic Party’s key figures, as well as its media allies, coalesced around Platner within 24 hours of his becoming the presumptive nominee. Both country and party have been sullied.
English
Democrats, such as myself lectured the Republicans about putting country over party in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
Well now, we are having our "country over party" moment with toxic candidates such as Graham Platner and El-Sayed.
We should follow our own advice. Just sayin'...
English
@NoahPollak This race will end up getting more money than anyone in history probably because it is viewed as possibly determining The Senate. More money will be thrown at this modern day Nazi than any of his predecessors
English
I love the idea that Jon Favreau, who apparently lives in Los Angeles, has "taken a little time to get to know the real life version of" Platner, who lives in Maine and whose very existence was unknown to Favreau until about six months ago. I'm sure they're super close. This is all so credible.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

So the progressive far-left sure went from "punch a Nazi" to "let's nominate one" super fast.
