@court_cowboy @Pragmatixm @keithedwards @hasanthehun I also just found out today that Connie was against the Chesa Boudin recall, which makes me like her even more

@tavert0 @Pragmatixm @keithedwards @hasanthehun Literally changed my look on Saikat when I found out he went against the Dean campaign

nancy pelosi's seat can go to the antizionist former AOC chief of staff who will be a strong defender of class 1st politics, or a dude who visited israel after oct 7th & defended a CA zionist censorship bill who now sheepishly claims he's an "israel skeptic"

@Pragmatixm @keithedwards @hasanthehun You can check her policies page and all the labor union endorsements she has, she's more progressive than Saikat and doesn't have the sketchy tech connections. The constituents of Dean Preston's former district who now have a shitty supervisor absolutely care

@tavert0 @keithedwards @hasanthehun Nobodies cares about any of that. What policies does she support and who does she take money from

@keithedwards @hasanthehun Connie is one of the best supervisors SF has. Saikat helped unseat one of the others and replace him with a developer's-favorite moderate. Hasan should be boosting Connie, Saikat is disliked locally and is the one who should drop out.

@hasanthehun connie chan's gotta drop out

@BenjaminPDixon @briantylercohen @dpakman why are you responding to every criticism with an unrelated article? like hey great you also did a good story about gaza, what does that have to do with you reacting badly to taylor lorenz's reporting?

"A reporter doesn’t need to lie to mislead. All it takes is omission, just enough context erased, and just enough insinuation to pass for investigation. Actual journalists know that’s not journalism but, rather, gossip." What's craziest is that I have more receipts in my Substack piece than @TaylorLorenz has in her entire @WIRED article. 👉 pastorben2023.substack.com/p/taylor-loren…

@mike_baus @StephanieGailW she doesn't look into the people she reposts at all

Not me getting messages about that egotistical TikToker calling me obsessed with her when I have her muted and find her sneaky/fake lmao girl…

@RippingOne @Awk20000 the next thing Matt Binder says after the clip was cut is that Taylor was correct about how "off the record" works

@Awk20000 Unfortunately for her "off the record" really isn't legally binding. It's just incredibly unethical for a journalist to violate. I kinda sympathize with the gal here but she clearly said some sketchy shit and now wants to hide from it. Also, Fuck Taylor Lorenz.

Ariana Jasmine talks about her experience with Taylor Lorenz Alleges that Taylor accused her of scamming w Chorus & changed her OG story angle when submitting to Wired “1st article Taylor wrote about Chorus...chorus taking advantage of creators..scamming”

@TEDNID @StephanieGailW @arianajasmine__ and watching her repost Hutch and fans of Ana K to back her up, like the substance of what they're saying against Taylor is unconvincing but also damn be careful who you're friendly with

@StephanieGailW @arianajasmine__ This is truly disappointing tbh. I used to like what she had to say. Had to unfollow as shes proven to not know the difference between journalists and sloptubers.

Turns out @arianajasmine__ is part of the harassment campaign towards Taylor heads up. Massively disappointing to see.

@jimblesnarks @LisaRomaniuk @MattBinder I didn't say het, yeah Lance is bi, and half-indigenous white-passing if we're getting specific. The types of people I'd like to see on: more pro-Palestinian protest and aid organizers, people involved in ICE rapid response networks, houseless advocacy groups, tenant unions, etc

@tavert0 @LisaRomaniuk @MattBinder TheSerfs and HumanistReport are gay, but I agree. They sorely miss Olay. She was great to watch, and will be near-impossible to replace. Rebecca is also a huge loss right now. I blocked Jessica. Her performance yesterday was despicable.

just discovering the discourse surrounding Taylor Lorenz’s Wired story about Chorus honestly floored by the reactions lol

@LisaRomaniuk @jimblesnarks @MattBinder Don't want to see her come back tbh. Also not very interested in watching anything by Jessica Burbank going forward. Leftist Mafia could use more diverse viewpoints than 4 white cis guys while Rebecca takes time offline, but they should bring in some actually-radical organizers.

@jimblesnarks @MattBinder Haven't seen her on LM for ages. Happily. Her contribution consisted of calling the panel boomers on repeat for the most part.

@onbrandviews @Lame_ass1 @Wraithe42 @MattBinder Which is why Kamala got 6 million fewer votes than Biden in 2020, when he was running against who? (not sure where 14 came from)

@Lame_ass1 @Wraithe42 @MattBinder People like Trump. Trump is a generational political talent. Nobody was beating him.

@complainie w consent

W CONSENT

@notjasond100 @Mike_from_PA found it dropbox.com/scl/fi/cznr04g… also thetwentysevenclub's vod from yesterday has some others from the same time period

@notjasond100 @Mike_from_PA He's been like this for a while, it blows my mind so many people still watch and like him. Having trouble finding it, but were you around for the "liberate yourselves" class reductionism clip from 2021?

this is @Mike_from_PA saying someone was "buck broken" for being wrong... like i just dont know what to say anymore, this space isnt safe. the white male "leftists" have destroyed the meaning of "leftism" in this space and are just openly using slurs and derogatory slurs atp

@complainie @Mike_from_PA it may have been this thread that got the phrase in his head? x.com/BlueSquidComms… dgg racists arguing

@Mike_from_PA ..memes? brother. where are you getting your memes. i'm glad you apologized, but just to be clear, you stand by the "demonic fake ethnicity" thing? cuz that's also fucked up. your chatters allude to context but provide none

mike, jason directly tagged you in his tweet. you said the racist, sexist remark, you don't get to also police how BIPOC people and women react to that racism. we all fucking hate ethan klein. this isn't principled and you know it.

@cenkuygur If they were genuinely anti-war they wouldn't have cheered on bombing Iran, if they were genuinely anti-corruption they would never have voted for Trump with his extensive history of financial fraud. Epstein isn't a vindication of you being nice to fascists.

Why did I think independents who voted for Trump, and even some MAGA, would break from him on some issues? Because I bothered to talk to them and listen to them. Their politicians are completely full of shit, but a lot of those voters are genuinely anti-war and anti-corruption.

I had a disagreement with many other left-wing hosts. They said Trump voters are all a cult and they would never criticize Trump. Now that even MAGA is ripping into Trump over Epstein, this debate is over, right? It'd be detached from reality to think they're not criticizing him.

@jaeporeon Liberal Zionism is fake nuance, ignoring that enforcing an ethnostate requires apartheid, genocide, and human rights abuses. Disappointed this is your response.

tbh the contrapoints statement on israel/palestine is about as nuanced as she could possibly be and is incredibly academic. which is why everyone will hate it

@decadimitry @BriannaWu @TRANTIFA @DanielLurie yeah fair. maybe half of average bay area devs, and almost all of the execs, have gotten way more comfortable being openly right wing the last few years

@tavert0 @BriannaWu @TRANTIFA @DanielLurie *conservative tech crowd. Which, tbf, is most of the tech crowd. Especially his donors and lobbyists.

When you look at Support for trans rights plummeting across the board, it is this narcissistic mindset that has caused this more than anything. If the mayor of San Francisco shows up to your civil rights march, the adult response is to say thank you. You don’t scream at him and tell him to leave.

@BriannaWu @TRANTIFA @DanielLurie nah, not that complicated. Lurie is despised by everyone in SF other than the tech crowd

@TRANTIFA @DanielLurie Somehow, I suspect all these situations are more complicated than you are suggesting

@justinAB_SF @ramthebladeship @tyleroakley For that mother and child and the millions of others deported under Obama and Biden, yes the result is the same. They're not the same for you, but please have more smoke for democrats' shitty policies or they'll keep moving right while taking your vote for granted.

@ramthebladeship @tyleroakley Yall are the freaks for saying both sides are the same when things are clearly much much worse

@TheLibProj A bit noteworthy that Biden could have reverted all of Trump's first term tariffs but left them in place.

To show how pointless this trade war is; China and the US imposed no tariffs on each other before 2018. Trump started this nonsense to distract from the slow collapse of neo-liberal capitalism. If you want to protect labor, do a jobs guarantee, the 'free market' doesn't work.
