@RadioFreeTom Good on your for owning. It’s wild how many people on this app just never admit they are wrong.
This war has produced so much ai slop.

Hey, even experts can mess up. I didn't realize this was AI slop. Deleted, and caution redoubled. A good reminder to me and anyone else: Check everything.
Squib@squib09
@RadioFreeTom happily retweeting Iranian propaganda AI slop editing a Trump speech that predates the conflict. He’s an expert, you see.

@slowergrey @ethanmwolf Of course he does. He gives flowers when he thinks they are deserved all the time. Those clips don't generate drama and hate so no one posts them. A beautiful thing that separates Hasan from a lot of the other vocal people on the left is that he forgives people if they change.
English
Hasan Piker isn't a part of the Democratic Party. Never has been. Never will... despite your best efforts.
Matt Duss@mattduss
Hasan isn’t driving a wedge into the party, the failed, repeatedly discredited yet unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is. They fear the left’s growing power and see Hasan as a way to make us argue amongst ourselves. We shouldn’t fall for it.

@Olivia_Reingold Completely agree, but it's always such a bummer that this stuff goes one way.

In June 2024, supporters of Nerdeen Kiswani jostled me, stopped on my notebook, called me scum, and caused me to lose hearing in one of my ears for a few days.
I filed a police report.
The possibility of political violence against her—or anyone—is indefensible.

@VinceDaoTV Something I learned recently that is kind of interesting, is that North Korea, communism is so bad that they basically allow gray markets to operate.

Free markets always seem to find into a communist system.

> Communism fails and causes famine
> Vietnam and China embrace capitalist reforms
> Idiots go to these countries and praise communism
Every single time.
Jake Shields@jakeshieldsajj
I’m in Vietnam a “communist” country and they are clearly on an upward swing It’s clean safe beautiful, zero homeless, free healthcare and little crime Their GDP is growing 4 times faster than in America Now I'm not a communist but this isn’t the horror we were told

@PostLeftWatch People just really like hearing things that they agree with or approve their priors.

Why do people take Ryan Grim seriously?
English
@tzimmer_history Also it's a great optics strategy, which is something you need in politics.
English
Not a single person of consequence believes that No Kings is some magical solution to save democracy; no serious person argues that occasionally joining a protest is all anyone needs to do.
But as an exercise of shared democratic participation, protests matter very much.
Thomas Zimmer@tzimmer_history
Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense. Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump. steady.page/en/democracyam…
English
The political press treats social media as if it is real life because political journalists, as drama queens, are addicted to social media, among other factors. If we have learned anything from the last ~6 years of politics it is that social media is, in fact, not real life.

@slowergrey @magi_jay Not just this website but the internet as a whole the ' streamers' corner of the internet is small and niche.

How can Piker be driving a wedge in the Democratic Party when 55% of Democrats don't even know he exists? media4.manhattan-institute.org/wp-content/upl…
Adam Wren@adamwren
New: @hasanthehun is driving a wedge in the Democratic Party. @playbookdc surveyed 14 potential '28 Dem candidates, asking whether they would appear on a livestream with Piker if invited. Only 3 definitively said they would. Plus: my interview w/ Piker. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
English
@Wilson__Valdez The wild thing is that so many polls show that this isn't that big of an issue and it's wild to think about how the people that latch themself onto it no longer talk about anything else.
Like last time Ro has even talked about M4A was like a year ago:

This is not what happened. Joe Rogan moved to Texas and surrounded himself with RWers and went from a 'curious' dumb dumb to a generic RW conspiracy theorist. It had zero to do with Bernie or Dems reaction.
All of these people have agency beyond 'the Dems were mean to them.'
Will Steakin@wsteaks
Getting flashbacks to 2019 when Bernie Sanders went on Joe Rogan, faced similar intense backlash, and basically Dems lost an entire podcast/comedy audience to Trump and MAGA

I've been dunked on by Noah Kulwin. Yay?
Given his politics (super anti-Zionist, anti-Israel), I think he's making fun of me for feeling bad that a Jewish school has extra security.
Or he's just anti-pool noodles.
noah kulwin@nkulw
Sentience of a pool noodle

@newenhuyse @constans Happy with any of those three tbh honest. I just think with Shapiro and Whitmer is that you get two popular governor's from swing states.
English
@slowergrey @constans But, but, they don’t have any grassroots support. Pritzker is my Gov and is both progressive and pragmatic AND has shown great fight against the regime, unlike the other 2—especially Whitmer. That matters. I would love a PB & JB pairing!
English
Because to us, Newsom seems like a middle of the road guy who hates republicans. We simply don’t know enough people in the outside world who view Newsom as “far left”
My guess is that Pritzger has the advantage— a liberal guy who codes as “middle of the road middle American”
Eric@Ericrse37986
Why do Dem voters think Gavin Newsom is the most electable when there is objective evidence that the opposite is true?
English
@AGHamilton29 Always wonder how this is going to end, but I’d imagine they are going to turn on each other at some point in the future.
English
These demonic grifters who align themselves w Cenk Uygur & Max Blumenthal, demand that people not vote for Republicans or join the military, and promote obvious nonsense based on various conspiracies are clearly, wittingly or not, part of a demoralization op aimed at the right.
AG@AGHamilton29
Fishback is actually a perfect representation of what’s happening on the right. He’s running an openly racist and bigoted campaign aimed at a close ally of Trump. He’s a pathological liar and obvious grifter. He is in serious legal trouble and has a history of taking advantage of young girls. But none of that deterred Tucker Carlson or several other influencers from promoting and supporting him because he is also promoting their ZOG conspiracy. The only issue they care about. Fishback is far more likely to end up in prison than the governor’s mansion but it speaks volumes about that group.
English
@bonchieredstate It’s insane the amount of lying that happens here.
Monetizing this site still remains one of the dumbest decisions.
English
This site is broken.
King of X@KingOffX_
.@EthanLevins2 this account popped up in March 2026 and, in less than a month, somehow has 100K followers already. That doesn’t happen organically. It’s engineered to push pro-Iran, pro-Hamas propaganda. Every post is packed with misinformation, yet it’s clearly being monetized at scale. And still, X looks the other way while this account profits off nonstop falsehoods.

@jdcmedlock I really feel like people would like socialism more when viewed through this context.
English
@jdcmedlock Really wish people knew more about revision in Marxism and looked more into Bernstein. Just was reading that Hoan’s mentor was Victor Berger, who was into Bernstein.
English
In 1936, Time Magazine had a cover story titled Marxist Mayor, where they praised Daniel Hoan as "one of the nation's ablest public servants" and wrote that under him Milwaukee had become "perhaps the best-governed city in the U.S."
Daniel Di Martino 🇺🇸🇻🇪@DanielDiMartino
If only socialists anywhere and at any point in history had ever provided "excellent" public services
