I feel extremely strongly we don’t talk about the name of this Toronto tailor shop enough.

Imagine being lectured by former Obama admin hacks about building an anti-war party. Rhodes can't even get his Pod Save bros to say the word 'genocide.'
.@brhodes: The Democratic Party has to be the anti-war party. The Democratic Party has to be the party that's going to stop spending $1 trillion in defense. And stop bombing other people's children and start investing in our children.
The purpose of satire is to punch up, go after the status quo, but SNL is unfuuny & punches down. Maybe they should watch an episode or two of SNL UK. Now those guys are doing what any good sketch comedy/satire should do. Challenge the status quo while eliciting some laughs.

The part of the Russell Brand reporting that I keep thinking about is where a taxi driver begs the girl he's driving not to go to his house. This ordinary powerless bloke who both knew and tried to stop it, while television executives covered for him.

Sad to see the Cybertruck going away when it was a useful way to learn who the dumbest, most gullible people were in your parents’ neighborhood

Not only did Zohran stop Chi, he lobbied the DSA not to support his race, and allllll of the DSA-adjacent reformist "left" media channels accepted the reasoning with *zero* interrogation bc it must be some *master* strategy from Zohran. It didn't occur to the access journalists to use their access to interrogate the issue.
Still wondering why Zohran stopped Chi from primarying Jeffries. Such an opportunity missed and why doesn’t anyone who questions him about Hakeem point out how much it contradicts the election mandate he talks about the American people giving them not to mention his stance on isreal. It’s more like he’s been working against the American people the entire time i guess in favor of New Yorkers?
Anyone who denies medical care for poor should automatically be considered evil in a normal society but we live in times where it is a matter of political debate.
Bring out the French to deal with these folks

Hi @AbdulElSayed, please stop doing TV interviews and turn your attention to saving these Michigan youngsters from US judicial terror asap.
⚡️ Federal prosecutors filed an emergency motion to detain a University of Michigan student today, alleging that she destroyed evidence during a raid on her home on October 30. It comes as part of a sprawling case against eight—and now 12—Michigan student protesters.
The motion to detain Zainab Hakim stems from a superseding indictment that prompted several cars and an armed tactical team to arrest her partner, Henry MacKeen-Shapiro, as he walked from his teaching job on October 30. He was released on unsecured bail the next day. When police breached Hakim and Mackeen-Shapiro’s home, prosecutors allege that Hakim destroyed a laptop. The accusation is now central to an emergency hearing scheduled for 3:30pm EST today.
The case drew sharp criticism from civil-rights groups when the indictment was presented in June. They argued that the government was criminalizing protected political speech. “When an indictment incorporates extensive references to protected advocacy, there is a legitimate concern that it may sweep constitutionally protected speech into the narrative of criminal prosecution,” CAIR-Michigan said in June.
Students in the pro-Palestine movement at the University of Michigan said that the case is a smokescreen to distract from their core demand: transparency regarding the university’s $21.2 billion endowment, which they claim is indirectly invested in weapons and surveillance technology through a “black box” of approximately $6 billion in private funds.
“They want to portray us as stupid terrorists who don’t understand how investments work,” a spokesperson for the Michigan 12 support movement told Drop Site News yesterday. “But what they’re really doing is trying to hide the way the university functions as this corporate vehicle for American imperialism, and refuse these demands of transparency, accountability, and divestment.”
