BTW there's no Democrat to vote for in Maine bc they just kicked out the historic primary winner.
Feisty is proud to be a Democrat!@FeistyLibLady
Protesters in Maine are protesting at Susan Collins's office in Biddeford Maine over the shooting death of a man by ICE. Susan Collins puts the wishes of Trump over the people of Maine. She can clutch her pearls all she wants but she votes for Trump's agenda 96% of the time and she voted for his budget to give ICE even more money. Fuck Collins. #VoteBlue Maine. #DemsUnited

@Hate_Camel @mtracey Respect in what sense? Oh wow man a warmongering opportunist was able to thrive as a politician in a corrupt warmongeting political system. How surprising and interesting!
English
Of course I always personally objected to Graham's political project, but if all you can do in the wake of a significant political figure's death is just emote your own boring opinions, that's so analytically lame, especially for LG, the most effective operator of the past decade

@of_darkness07 What about the fact that Zorhans support of Hakeem Jeffries is nothing short of materially aiding a genocide he used to claim to oppose? But yeah man. Nice smile if thats your big prerogative
English
Angry male candidates definitely benefit from a double standard. But personally, I would want a representative who projects some sense of hope and optimism, not just grievance.

It's laughable to hear Ryan Grim say he won't cover @cmkshama cz she isn't “serious”, doesn’t have a “hook” & isn’t competitive. How is this not gate-keeping for Democrats? Says he covered Zohran when polling 1% cz he had a hook: interviewing Trumpsters in the street. Whereas Sawant’s fight for $15 that kicked off a national movement & her challenge to Adam Smith, who initiated the Isrl-US defense tech merger, isn’t newsworthy?

@EoinHiggins_ @HeerJeet "Absolutely no reason to doubt" the rape claim, you say? That it was PR-choreographed by an avowed opponent of Platner isn't a "reason"? That there's zero contemporaneous corroboration isn't a "reason"? That it emerged days before the Maine ballot-swap deadline isn't a "reason"?
English
@jengland004 @ronaldlirumo @SpookySocialist Its not reasonable to demand people who are mass slaughtered attempting to peacefully protest to go down quietly and not fight back. Its dehumanizing
English
@ronaldlirumo @SpookySocialist That's fine. And they do have that right. Just felt like Jeremy's line of questioning was overly combative when Ro was giving very reasonable answers
English
Watching Jeremy Scahill make Ro Khanna visibly uncomfortable by needling his support for Iron Dome and condemnation of the Palestinian Resistance was a great start to the day
Wish there were more principled left voices holding politicians accountable for their liberal Zionism
English
@SarcasticCupcak @mtracey @EoinHiggins_ @HeerJeet The only mistake is pretending establishment media like Eoink and Dave Weigel are actually credulous and caring about rape claims and not bloodsucking cynics who know how to browbeat the left
English
@mtracey @EoinHiggins_ @HeerJeet Far leftist retards have already branded him a "rapist" because the Democratic establishment decided it. Pure comedy.
English
I talked to @HeerJeet about Maine Democrats, what comes after the fall of Graham Platner, and more.

Every single progressive Democrat who supported Hakeem Jefferies like AOC and Zohran Mamdani owns this.
It doesn’t matter what they say they support if they give power to people who does the exact opposite

Hakeem Jeffries Will Oppose Massie-Khanna Amendment Cutting All U.S. Aid to Israel

@matthewstoller The left is incapable of effectively battling the establishment b/c it always falls for establishment trickery such as "Me Too" and "Wokeism." The right falls for other forms of trickery. Both sides are hopeless.
English
@jengland004 @SpookySocialist Because he is pretending that Palestinians havent used nonviolent protest attempts and been slaughtered en masse. Its revisionist history that legitimizes Israels "right to self defense"
English
Def agree we shouldn't give Israel anything
But feel like Jeremy is being overly aggressive in trying to get Ro to approve of Palestinians using violence. Ro is right when he says:
"armed resistance isn't going to be effective given the power difference, similar to what Ghandi thought"
That's true. So not sure why Jeremy is so hung up on this. Violent resistance is not the solution to the problem, so let's stay focused on what is
English
@Abdul_Q_86 @dontsippy Nah dont do that with platner. Even before the woman accused him we knew he was a cold blooded murderer and most likely a rapist so that was just further confirmation to many of us. Do not bring him in to defend abdul.

Missed the #Royals game tonight due to a deadline for a porno movie script

@adamjohnsonCHI @daveweigel Youre describing David Wiggle with that second sentence
English
@daveweigel “Worked” doing what exactly? More microwaved liberal zionist turds that get a ton of media play by influential liberals but completely avoid the actual issues that matter to people functioning brains?
English
Lots of people want Rahm 2028 to not be real, but he’s done an unusually good job of actually focusing attention on what he wants to talk about.
Free play for now — no one’s attacking him — but the Tel Aviv speech worked

@SteveCollinsSJ @DoctorFishbones Well why wont they? This would be a high profile win

@DoctorFishbones The "they" in this case would be the prosecutors in the appropriate jurisdiction.

@solidarityhours You definitely would if you didnt want to incur mass casualties. The US would use its technological and manpower advantage to completely devastate them. The PSUV hold power in Venezuela still. That wouldnt be the case after a civil war
English
@SloughWillum You don't need to be technologically advanced to throw the yoke of an offshore imperial power. That lesson was well learned.
English
The NYT doesnt run propaganda like this to demoralize an irrelevant demo of Americans who feel "betrayed" by Delcy. They run it so everyone else believes that whats happening with Venezuela isnt a hostage situation.
Eva Golinger@evagolinger
Delcy sends selfies to Marco Rubio and runs every decision by him, including her social media posts, cabinet appointments and TV appearances. In turn he sends her "crates of cash" and runs the Venezuelan government from Washington. A XXI century Colony. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…
English
@solidarityhours Yeah there are people that are disappointed and the situation isnt permanently tenable- its not even been a year, though. But overall PSUV knows some sort of guerrilla war would be bloody and theyd be permanently driven from power (and for many, worse)
English
@solidarityhours The Iranians have a modern indigenous missile and drone program, and 4 times the population of Venezuela. Not comparable in the least
English
@hecubian_devil @bodhisappho He either believes Israel is committing genocide or is a Zionist who opposes divestment from Israel. Using "israel is committing genocide" as an Obama style rhetorical device he has no intention of acting on is disqualifying
English
Leftists understand the concept of ideological pipelines, sheepdogs, wedge issues, kayfabe, etc, when it’s used by our enemies against us.
But when someone on our side is clearly doing the same thing—in this case, serving as a welcoming ideological entry point for people to move further down the anti-Zionist ideological pipeline—we have a tendency to reject it as hostile to our project.
It’s odd. We recognize that these tactics work for everyone else—right, center, center-left—but we eschew them when they could be useful to us.
To be clear: I’m very glad DSA is proudly and unequivocally anti-Zionist. We are the pole that people hopefully get moved towards. But I’m also glad people like Lander exist to help them get started on that journey!
A healthy political ecosystem has all these pieces and more! A healthy political ecosystem, like a real ecosystem, has diversity. Different people filling different niches in the system.
James🔻@GoodVibePolitik
Really not a fan of how Brad Lander has been more or less allowed to be in Left spaces in NYC despite his very out in the open support for Zionism and the colony
English
@DoctorFishbones @shadihamid Theres obviously an identity based sectarian split where a lot of high level DSA are anti white racist misandrists
English
@shadihamid Once they took down Platner, they took down the whole movement. Good luck, Shadi

@_carlbeijer @YoungerPope As opposed to the clean unbiased journalism of CNN and Politico right? Fucking idiot
English
@YoungerPope lol well it can't just be the publication's own people saying it's relevant!!
English
A big problem with this defense is that I don't actually see anyone saying the massage thing is exonerating.
A lot of folks say "the detail is worth reporting because some people might think it's exonerating," but I don't actually see anyone who thinks that!
Clipping Wings@ClippingWings
Emma Vigeland lightly pushes back on Ryan Grim's criticism of Politico not including the 'glute massage' detail in the Platner story
English
You dont want the additional info because it isnt 'exonerating.' But it definitely adds to the story of why Platner originally showed up (allegedly- once again nobody is showing these messages and even if they were sent theres no proof he went to her house in defiance)
carl beijer@_carlbeijer
@thedarkestbert Do you think it's exonerating?
