It’s probably fine that vast swathes zoomers and younger millennials exist in a kind of permanent internalized panopticon in which all actions are assumed to be (and interpreted as) performances for a viewer
Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️@SketchesbyBoze

Most of life occurs in those ten-minute stretches where nothing seems to be happening. You’d be shocked at how much reading you can get done while you’re standing in line or riding the subway. There’s no such thing as “performative reading” when we are in a literacy crisis.

Wesley Bell skips candidate forum with @CoriBush
6th Ward Democrats@6thWardSTL

WATCH: The first candidate forum for the #MO01 race this cycle between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell. We’d like to thank former Rep. Cori Bush for carving time out of her schedule to attend and address the issues important to voters this cycle. While we spent weeks closely working with Rep. Bell’s team to ensure he could attend — including changing the originally planned date, adjusting the evening’s schedule, and beginning to negotiate forum rules to ensure that he would feel comfortable participating — we appreciate his team sending a last-minute surrogate, following a change in the Congressional calendar. Watch the full video of the forum below. Thank you to Wards 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 for hosting the event; acasastl.com for providing the space. Thank you to Committeeman Ben Murray and Committeewoman Inez Bordeaux for moderating, and Alderwoman Jami Cox for introducing the marquee segment of the evening.

Susan Collins offered an explanation for voting for the $70 billion ICE funding bill. To call it gibberish is probably too kind.

you can post something like “trains are great we should have more of them” and you’ll get 60 comments from racist chuds who are having an absolute meltdown because they’re afraid to go outside

Progressives are, to put it mildly, *not happy* about the DCCC endorsing Bains in CA-22. "Just like they did in Maine and Michigan, the Democratic establishment is again putting its thumb on the scale," says the Working Families Party

@RepDanGoldman @TheNewSchool Nonense on stilts. The student senate's decision was based on the Hillel chapter's organizing of volunteer work at IDF bases during a genocide. Calling that antisemitism trivializes and weakens the fight against actual antisemitism.

If a student group funded trips for Iranian or Hezbollah non-combatants we would react harshly. I don't see why the New School Hillel gets to spend student money to send American kids to support the IDF. It's just anti-semitic to allow this nonsense.
Rep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman

A student organization at an American university designed to support and include a group of students has nothing to do with the Israeli government’s policy decisions.  This is hateful and vile antisemitism, plain and simple. I thank @TheNewSchool admin for swiftly rejecting this action.

this rocks, thanks for clipping
Loomer Unleashed@LoomerUnleashed

During his event in Michigan with Bernie Sanders @SenSanders, Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed repeated the awful lie that President Trump @realDonaldTrump is “dumb” and controlled by Israel: “Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu has been searching for 40 years to find a President dumb enough to go to war with Iran and he finally found one in Donald J. Trump.” In reality, Trump has said since 2015 that he would never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Abdul and the Democrats’ lies have real world consequences. During Friday’s May Day “protest” outside the White House we captured “86-47” posters next to a puppet display of President Trump being sexually assaulted by Benjamin Netanyahu. The elected Democrats and their candidates are sick.

AIPAC is actively trying to minimize the threat of Nick Fuentes, a literal neo-Nazi. The idea that these fascists give literally a single fuck about the safety of American Jews is beyond laughable.
AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱@AIPAC

“For all the legacy media’s obsessive warnings about far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it has shown far less interest in confronting a dangerous left-wing counterpart: Hasan Piker.” @Ingrid_Jacques @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
