“We are organizing to hold office to wield power” cannot be maintained with “we have so little power against the state once in office.” That is outright doublethink.

Fars: Claims by Axios and Al Jazeera regarding Iran-US negotiations are false.
An informed source: The news reports by Western media outlets, including Axios, about another round of negotiations are false and are primarily aimed at managing the market and oil prices.
The claim that technical experts are being sent from Iran to New York to join the negotiations, which was also reported by the director of Al Jazeera's office in Tehran, is untrue.

I actually think hes right he just would really hate the moral and ethical story needed for this moment
Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

This whole protest was just a staged photo op, artificial negativity in action. I'm so sick of it all.
This is the @jvplive anti-Netanyahu protest today in New York. The organization did not announce it publicly, instead seemingly only notifying a small group of celebrities, activists and political candidates.

This is a great follow if you don't have enough bad takes on your timeline. It's actually incredible.
There’s a reason the MSM had no interest in showing this historic day.
They cannot allow the public to see that Trump is respected by global leaders, and is not the incompetent fool they claimed he was.
Biden/Kamala couldn’t complete a sentence, let alone gain the respect of the world and reset the global rules of engagement.

Japan's 1Y yield is surging 8% on the day.
Can't remember the last time I saw a major sovereign bond market trade like a meme coin.
We are in the midst of a global sovereign debt crisis, and Japan is at the center of it.
When Japan falls, everyone else will follow... which is why Bessent is intervening in the yen.
Currency interventions have never worked in the long run, and they won't work this time.
We don't own enough gold for what's coming.

Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again

The trick wasn’t to get undercover operatives into every little political circle to shut them down. It was to change the culture such that this impotent nonsense became standard among all grassroots semi-political orgs, small or large.
The western Massachusetts COVID-conscious lesbian bar story keeps reminding me of this document from the early CIA

Tattoo it on your forehead if you must: liberal tactics will get you killed.
It is unsurprising that liberal orgs like JVP still cling to these out-of-date tactics, but the rest of the left is also married to them! If you accept the premise of mass incarceration and surveillance state, then you simply cannot keep doing pre-mass inc. protest tactics!!!
