Blocking the blue since '22

!! 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats voted to block a proposed weapons sale to Israel. This one was for Caterpillar bulldozers. Next vote is for a proposed sale of “dumb” bombs. Last time the Senate voted on an Israel arms sale disapproval, 27 Democrats voted yes. Was 19 before that



Palantir very plainly paid $23m in income tax and $156m in payroll tax. That's 0/2. Are you retarded?



If you’re canvassing for Saikat Chakrabarti, at least get paid

NEW: Public First, pro-safety AI Anthropic-backed group, is going in “big” to support @Scott_Wiener in his race to replace Pelosi, per source. Wiener is in tough 3-way contest and the big AI PACs had stayed away from the race. LTF hast gotten involved yet Txt subs got first!



Notes on this Ezra Klein Show episode - Israel is an apartheid state now, not turning into one - Israel’s “moderate” politicians are as racist and violent as Israel’s govt - Pro-Israel arguments rely on an “eternal sunshine of the spotless mind where history started yesterday”

Israel isn’t really a liberal democracy in the way Americans use that term. It’s a democracy. But it’s an ethnic democracy; a Jewish democracy. It’s a concept that makes some American Jews, in particular, deeply uncomfortable.


Had some thoughts about Graham Platner, the final bastion of millennial wokeness on Bluesky, and how something as tasteless as a Nazi tattoo has revealed two vectors of progressivism headed in different directions.

Slotkin’s doing a lot of ground-level work in the midterms in the middle of the country:


BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC. @NYCMayor told us the stores will: - Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city. - Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages. La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.






Saikat Chakrabarti, CA-11 candidate, says ending aid to Israel isn't far enough and the US should put sanctions on Israel too "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and doing ethnic cleansing in Lebanon. We need to sanction Israel, not fund them"


Connie Chan comes out for an arms embargo + sanctions

Israel has been committing a genocide in Gaza and is now committing ethnic cleansing in Lebanon. Ending funding isn't enough — we need sanctions.

Israel has abided by peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan for decades. Israel has abided by the Abraham Accords. If Iran wants peace, it can have peace. All it has to do is stop trying to build nuclear weapons, decommission its ballistic missile program and stop funding terrorists.
