Shmefan

@AndrewMamo5 ...do you think him saying "don't vote for who Schumer supports" is a statement of support for Schumer?

Read it for yourself folks! Abdul had the opportunity to be clear about his thoughts on Chuck Schumer this morning. And he didn't.

Trying SO HARD not to get mired in the salary discourse but it’s difficult bc I love to yap and I have such strong opinions about this

@NBABabySecret I love the Jays, but we gotta face it -- Sixers have the three best players in the series. I'm just happy we've made things competitive. And hopefully it goes without saying, but I'm not at all mad and had no trouble falling asleep last night.

Me and several other Celtics fans are independently inventing a new type of cope called “the opponent is actually pretty good” I’ve had five (5) dm or text conversations where someone said “you know it’s not crazy the Sixers make finals if they beat us” We are down bad

THE SOY FACE ASSASSIN

@VanJones68 @hasanthehun Van I don't always agree with you but I just want to say I think it's really brave that you're out here so publicly after seemingly being kicked in the head by a horse.

@hasanthehun I'll reach out.

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

@Noahpinion I see you aren’t toning down the rhetoric after your biggest fan took your corrosive centrism to its logical end at the WHCD smh

Trump sucks

@NBABabySecret Going to the library between classes to check the latest Daily Kos headlines... so innocent, so naive.

I was Libbing the fuck out over Obama getting elected. I thought it was all gonna be okay

@jwaldstreicher @ZephyrTeachout You can’t be talking like that, Ballstretcher

I don't know what a zephyr teachout is, but I do know what I voted for. This bill bans surveillance pricing, and I'm proud we did it. The fact that we carved out discounts like hotel points & VIC cards benefits consumers. @ZephyrTeachout can flex her twitter muscles, or she can instead join @iamwesmoore, @SenBillFerg, @JPenaMelnyk, & me in addressing the affordability crisis. Choose your fighter.

@MagicOriol24981 @EricLevitz You're doing the thing btw

@StefPL @EricLevitz The USSR invaded 6 nations from 1939-1940 with the Help of the Nazis. All 6 were under its control or partial control until it collapsed. That's why the life expectancy dropped. It stopped being an Empire

The problem with Hasan Piker isn't that he's an anti-Zionist. It's that he's a campist. Too often, his commentary is a mirror image of what it claims to oppose: If Washington’s jingoists downplay or rationalize the crimes of America and Israel, Piker does their adversaries the same favor. vox.com/politics/48609…

@barbarismcrit @nikhil_palsingh It's also amazing to say "you can't be taken seriously if you can't acknowledge Soviet crimes" in response to any positive claim about Soviet communism. Who, exactly, is the campist here?

@nikhil_palsingh People be like “your whole politics is America bad” and then fail to notice that America bad

If at first you don't succeed, try try again...

@RaspyLegs @KelseyTuoc Reading comp is tough but you'll get the hang of it!

@StefPL @KelseyTuoc “It’s absurd to use Hassan’s argument in a way that shows his argument is dumb as fuck”

Piker's views on theft are bad, but they really do pale in comparison to his views on murder: that the important thing about Brian Thompson's murder is that healthcare CEOs are 'engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder' due to 'the structural violence of 'poverty'

@KelseyTuoc Truly absurd to equate someone with a few thousand in savings to an immensely wealthy CEO whose compensation is directly tied to the number of healthcare procedures his company denies.

Suboptimal policy and business decisions have costs measured in human lives. But if you use the standard 'you could easily have done something different to save a life, and you didn't', 'being a person in the US with $10k and not donating it to GiveWell' is social murder.

@_rotimia …you think leftist podcasts are overly focused on day-to-day Trump drama?

@ericadamsfornyc @willmenaker

Halfway across the world and still surrounded by Yankee fans. Some things are just universal. 📍 Shenzhen, China.

@BrianTRobb I say this with peace and love: enough with the Kalshi content, brother

Celtics now in two of the top-3 projected Finals matchups after Knicks upset last night. Interesting to see Cavs already move ahead of Knicks for other top East spot.

@EmmaVigeland Not gonna unmute that one but I assume it’s High Hopes?

If anything qualifies as "millennial cringe," it is this

@sidrosenberg19 @CGasparino Never seen someone so dedicated to the game of baseball that they let their face turn into a catcher’s mitt — salute to you, sir 🫡

I’ll be 59 on Sunday:) For the first time ever I’m sporting a Yankee jersey as I make my way to the Bronx. The official transition from a life long Met fan to a Yankee fan is now underway. Like my friend @CGasparino once wrote “Go Woke, Go Broke!” The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!

@MattLech @EoinHiggins_ Ok but he *did* call the moon falling into Lake Michigan, so

@EoinHiggins_ 5 years ago hed only just supported tulsi over Bernie bc 'anti imperialism' lol

irl lol at this one

@neeratanden @mcbyrne The fuck you have lmao

@mcbyrne Can you show me when and where? I've been looking.

Gotta say, I have also been wondering why there are no shame chants at Trump staff.
