Very pleased to announce the publication of "racial capitalism and the propaganda of conservative economics" in the Journal of Black Studies, with Twitter refugee Prentiss Dantzler journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

“racial capitalism” has certainly been expanded beyond its articulation in Black Marxism. but glib use as an index of woke academic excess basically reheats the right-wing “critical race theory” semantic maneuver. if you wanna be mad about something you gotta specify what it is.

@SenSchumer STFU. You have no credibility on this issue. Weren’t you trying to goad Trump into this war last year? Fucking war monger

When I talked to Secretary Rubio, I implored him to be straight with Congress and the American people about the objectives of these strikes and what comes next. Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home. The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat. Confronting Iran’s malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump’s fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy. The administration must brief Congress, including an immediate all senators classified briefing and in public testimony, to answer these vital questions. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act. My prayers are with our brave American servicemembers.

This may be the worst opposition party in history. Please hand the reins over to @ChrisVanHollen and @RoKhanna who have demonstrated an understanding of the moment and how to fight.

@DylanEveryday Thank you! That is exactly what I thought of when they started complaining about that call

The funniest thing is watching Michigan fans bitch when this literally was a ruled a TD in their favor when WR was losing ball entering the goal line

The absolute lowest-hanging fruit in domestic policy is just "make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy again, like they were before 1998".

Folks like Neera Tanden, Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, etc got the Democratic Party they wanted — a party that stands for nothing other than satisfying the fluctuating whims of donors & media elites. That party created conditions for Trump’s ascent. They are not the people who will fix the party. Arsonists are not firefighters. Pass it on.

The genocidal apartheid regime is once again raining down bombs across Gaza and calling it a “ceasefire.” They will never stop until there’s a total arms embargo and economic sanctions. The U.S. must stop the genocide.

Very hard to see the path forward when national Democrats are so dug into the belief that they cannot fail, they can only be failed.

You have blood on your hands. You will go down in history as complicit in genocide. That you aren’t hauled in front of The Hague is a miscarriage of justice. That you are allowed in polite society is an abomination. You are a war criminal and that cannot be undone.

More than 70% of Democrats think Israel is committing genocide and 75% support sanctions. Pro Israel ideologues like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can not be party leaders. It's over.

The DNC voted down a resolution this week in support of an arms embargo. Enabling genocide is alienating the majority of democrats who want the funding of war crimes to stop. Wake the fuck up!

Silicon Valley doesn’t “predict” the future. It picks the one it wants and then pours billions of dollars into making it happen. So when they say "AI will replace us", that’s not a helpful warning. It’s their business plan.

Mamdani's primary win has shown that a wide array of otherwise respectable Americans believe that anything to the left of Bill Clinton is- at once- socialism, Trotskyism, social democracy, communism, and Islamism.

It's so weird. Dems keep breaking talking records, but we all keep losing our rights, money, benefits, and care.

Maybe if Democrats spent weeks leading a mobilization effort against the bill -- a national strategy with rallies in key districts -- instead of having meltdowns about Zohran, I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about Jeffries's grand plan to... delay the vote until the afternoon.
