The red scare stuff is definitely coming from Rubio specifically, who is the person in the administration with the most ideological commitment to anti-communism (since it’s somewhat anarchronistic today). Fergie and the other guy are canaries in the coalmine, dsa is grand prize

“DSA represents a…far more politically consequential development: a mass-membership organization operating openly in American electoral politics, with chapters across the country, a growing bench of elected officials, and a real influence inside the Democratic Party” So true!

Secretary Marco Rubio@SecRubio

For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States. The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country. The American people deserve to know. state.gov/cuba-the-capit…

For all their childish hatred of “postmodernism,” liberals always end up being the most dogmatic relativists when it comes to “viewpoint diversity” in the humanities
Tyler Austin Harper@Tyler_A_Harper

What about a pro-life ethicist whose work argues that abortion is murder, and who believes that bodily autonomy arguments do not override moral duties to the fetus? Would they be hirable in any Gender Studies department at any elite (non-religious) university in America? 2/

‘Terrorism’ also acts as the hinge linking liberalism with fascism because the ‘terrorist’—unlike other fascist targets such as immigrants, queers, etc—definitionally breaks the social contract, which for liberalism makes them the paradigmatic target of legitimate violence

From the North of Ireland to Israel and from Argentina to America, the defining technology of dehumanization uniting all 21st century fascism is the label of “terrorist”. To be a ‘terrorist’ is to enter a state of exception in which all violence against you is a priori justified
Israel ישראל@Israel

85 empty seats. This Sunday, millions of fans will gather to cheer for their national teams in the FIFA World Cup Final. But 85 voices from Argentina will be missing. They belong to the victims of the 1994 AMIA terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires, an attack planned by the Iranian regime and carried out by Hezbollah. Behind every terrorist attack are lives stolen and futures cut short. We remember. We stand against terror. Always.

Seems like Yglesias is dropping his whole “I’m just objectively following the polling!” schtick and going full mask-off transphobic in the past two days. Same guy Dem White House insiders turn to for policy!

This just straight up is not democracy. United Democracy Project is AIPAC pumping tens of millions into this race to prevent a critical of Israel winning. If it wasn’t for corporate / Israel lobby donors Stevens wouldn’t have a shot. It’s completely insane levels of corruption.

Locke said that we have the right to respond to any threat to our person or property with lethal force; liberalism applies this principle to zionists by asserting that transhistorical antisemitism renders them permanent victims justified in all self-defense no matter how extreme

Liberal zionists in the west have this compulsive need to launder all of their politics through endless claims to victimhood because, much like Israel itself, ‘self-defense’ is the only justification for genocidal violence acceptable to liberalism

Same people who constantly tell us how we need to shatter teachers’ unions because they extract rents from the public treat police unions & police budgets as untouchable sacrosanct gifts from God that must never be tampered with

Crazy that cutting police budgets has been recast as the epitome of insane unelectable leftist excesses by all the Serious Politics Knowers™️ when the average American city still spends 60% of our budgets on sinecures for violent racists while cutting funding for everything else

Neil Barofsky’s personal support for genocide is irreparably interfering with his duties and he should resign from his position immediately. The UAW deserves an unbiased Monitor, not someone improperly acting on his personal politics.
Sarah Lazare@sarahlazare

Detroit News obtained a recording of a call between Shawn Fain and Neil Barofsky, the federal monitor, in which Barofsky criticizes UAW's statement calling for a ceasefire and, among other things, tells Fain to read an NYT column by Bret Stephens. detroitnews.com/story/business…

Degrowth is the only meaningfully democratic form of socialism because it is the only that prioritizes actual deliberation & democratic decision-making over the blind drive for endless growth and optimization

Democratic decision-making, especially at scale, is inherently slow, whereas the profit-maximizing demands of the market & the related fetishization of efficiency demand constantly increasing speed over all else

At some point market socialists are going to have to recognize the fact that worker control of the economy and a “motor…for efficiency gains and growth” are not compatible. Either we decide how we produce or the market decides for us, there is no reconciliation

One of my favorite relics of pre-2016 woke is the insane Gwen Stefani/Andre 3000 song about interracial dating where they remix MLK Jr’s I Have A Dream Speech

I have long been a vocal critic of contemporary “third worldism” & related ultraleftist currents, but allowing yourself to become so negatively polarized against them that you end up defending the American state’s repression of Palestinian solidarity is pathetic

I disagree with Fergie politically and find his persona grating, but if your first reaction to someone being arrested by the fascist zionist state is “that stupid stalinist probably deserved it” you are a moronic stooge of empire blinded by sectarianism
Andrés Pertierra@ASPertierra

Wouldn't put it above Fergie Chambers, slimy buffoon and Stalinist that he is, to have actually (knowingly or unknowingly) directly contributed to a terror org or something At the same time, initial coverage (plus established Trump admin bad faith) make it sound bigger than FC
