@VanityFair @MollyJongFast It’s a war on everything everywhere all at once.

@BlueCeltic @landpalestine They did. x.com/EvangelineDryd…

@landpalestine Great now read the names of those in Hamas and those in Gaza who accepted Hamas into their country and then used the last 19 years to foment the killing of Jews at all costs. Then read the names of those dead from 10/7 and describe how they died. Spare me.

Cardinal Zuppi read the names of every chiId kiIIed by IsraeI in Gaza It took 7 hours

@Coffey3C1 @landpalestine x.com/EvangelineDryd…

Did he honor the people killed in Israel over the past twenty years, or did he just peel their names off the wall? With each passing Day, I have less and less respect for religion. Fairly hard to do, since I was already in negative numbers forty years ago, their ability to "unimpress" me is the most impressive thing about them.

@OperHealAmerica @landpalestine @IosephSanctus x.com/EvangelineDryd…

@landpalestine @IosephSanctus And then every Jewish child killed by the Philistines. Oops sorry, I must have had him confused w a unpaid, non-propagandist from the true church of Jesus Christ.

@ChrisJamesNYC @FinkleaM32145 @landpalestine Good point. I refuse to listen to anything about murdered Palestinian children until all children killed during the past 100 years around the world have been called out by name, by this Catholic person. 🙄

@FinkleaM32145 @landpalestine Did he read the names of all the children killed in the church participation of the Holocaust and the millions worldwide abused by the hands of church of Rome?

There are a lot of good anecdotes in this thread about not giving credit to Dems when they do good things (never good enough for so-called “far left”) but @EmmaVigeland’s joke about Mallory McMorrow’s Hasan-bashing BS is fair too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shannonrwatts What’s the beef with Hasan? He seems like a good guy when I actually listen to him. Then I see all this unhinged pro- Israel bullshit about him being a bad guy, anti-Semitic, etc. and it just seems like people coping because THEY back Israel and see he is influential.

CORRECTION: There are two upcoming rallies with Hasan Piker. One in March, which Graham Platner is no longer participating in. The other in April in Michigan with Abdul El-Sayed, which State Rep Carrie Rheingans withdrew from. I wrongly tweeted that they were the same rally.

@HowardA_AtLaw @magi_jay What? She is definitely anti-Zionist. But a charming intelligent person who cares about human rights, kids, justice… Bizarre to read this hate toward Emma.

@magi_jay Emma Vigeland is a raging bigot, Jew-hater and all-around loathsome being,

The lesson that every Dem needs to take from this--as well as the previous ~10 years of politics--is: Don't depend on the online Far-Left for political support. No matter how much you cater to them, if you say *one* thing that diverges from "The Party," they will sabotage you.

Body cam footage shows 19 year old who was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, police shoving him to the ground, DHS then lied about him being charged with a felony, and weeks later he dies in Florida ICE detention.

@crox_with_sox @DriverHawk @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine So we should be voting based on tattoo interpretation instead?

@DriverHawk @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine I’ve said for a decade liberals will vote for anyone that tells them what they want to hear, conservatives aren’t any better.

Graham Platner to Chuck Schumer: “You need to stop having a problem with the illegal wars we have been starting simply because of the paperwork that wasn’t done properly. You should be against them because they are fundamentally immoral, unethical, and illegal. We should have absolutely no discussion about funding them. Wars that are killing people for the benefit of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, those wars should not be waged, period”

@NYCdrops @PollTracker2024 @the_great_snorp Is this sarcasm?

@PollTracker2024 @the_great_snorp Leftists in the comments pissed off...FUCK ALL OF YOU!!! STAY MAD! Illinois just KICKED YOUR HATEFUL ASSES TO THE CURB! Here in NY, Mamdani pitifully UNDERPERFORMED. 50.4%...in NYC is fucking PATHETIC. McMorrow read the room ACCURATELY! Keep PIKER the fuck OUT of swing states!!!

Mallory McMorrow on Hasan Piker in interview with the Jewish Insider: “It is somebody who says extremely offensive things in order to generate clicks and views and followers, which is not entirely different from somebody like Nick Fuentes.” “Pikar is a provocateur, to put it lightly, who says things that are misogynistic and antisemitic, and said that the United States deserved 9/11.” McMorrow is seeking the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Michigan

@rachelbsol18 @PollTracker2024 Every one is waking up to how awful Israel is. Left and right.

@PollTracker2024 Good to see! She is 💯 right. Dems need to take back their party.

Myth: If we tax billionaires they won't create jobs. Fact: Last year, billionaires got the largest tax break in history. Now, they are literally planning to replace every worker in America with a robot or AI. Trickle down economics is a scam. Tax billionaires out of existence.

This isn’t Democracy.

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

@alexdchi I think it’s irrational to suggest all Bushra’s voters would simply have stayed home. Of course she took votes from Kat who actually had a shot at winning. It’s pretty simple.

the other crazy thing about all the Bushra hate is that every single one of her voters was free to vote for Kat. Nothing stopped them from coalescing on their own. It wasn't that they couldn't vote for Kat, it was that they wouldn't vote for Kat. You're all missing the point.

@BossIgnostic @FerrazzanoJay @EdbieLigerSmith Bushra literally split the ticket and had no chance of winning the primary. So… 🤷🏻‍♀️

@FerrazzanoJay @EdbieLigerSmith There was an actual lesser evil candidate (Bushra), but instead of doing the logical thing of unifying behind the candidate with the best policies, a bunch of voters fixate on supporting the candidate with awful foreign policy and accusing the rest of being splitters.

I’m sure Daniel Bliss is an enormous piece of shit, but I’m glad we don’t have to hear from the “progressive interventionist” Labubuzaleh for the next two years.

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends. A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets. Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses. The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits. A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days. Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive. The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away. The investing angle nobody talks about. Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in. Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies. The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates. Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try. (a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)
