Sarah Longwell said she would have voted for Cuomo and Ted Cruz over Zohran. Rogers is running the exact same islamophobic playbook Cuomo used last year and Ted Cruz spouts constantly She clearly would prefer Rogers.
This part about Sarah and Neera wanting Abdul to lose is just a lie. I have discussed this very thing with them on my show. We have disagreed and argued about tactics but they are clear about the need to defeat Rogers This fictional straw woman exists in your head only @SamSeder

If we do not already, we will look back on Obama as a massive failure. He represents a defunct political project, a liberalism that believes that it represents revealed truth and works against any effort to change the present.
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."

I’m becoming a broken record with this but Zohran and DSA really are the only political forces in America meeting the crisis of loneliness and social atomization with policy interventions that make sense. These are such minuscule investments and they make a world of difference.

One of the most important things that distinguishes humans from other animals is the way we care for children who are not our own. Alloparenting is what allowed higher primates to have offspring that require an unusual amount of care because their brains take so long to develop. The notion that there is something "natural" about prioritizing your own children above everyone else's, and that it is "cultish" to take collective responsibility for the good of all children, is just right-wing pseudoscience. It has no basis in history or biology; it's just a sentimental excuse to be selfish.
Why should she live in a nicer house than anyone else? Eat healthier food than anyone else? If her child gets cancer, why should she advocate for her child get better healthcare than anyone else? Progressives and liberals rightly push for a society that takes care of everyone’s children. But when you bring a child into the world, you create specific obligations to *that child.* What it means to serve that child well is complex and I think you could make the case that NHJ believed she was doing that. But this idea it is a moral wrong for parents to prioritize their own child is one of those things cults do to break your sanity and basic humanity, and it is not going to get you very far politically. It’s also race-to-the-bottom thinking instead of an effort to bring everyone else up.

I think Sarah Longwell and Neera genuinely do not see any difference between campaigning and governing. To them both are all just theatrics. That’s the only way to make sense of them expressing confusion at something that quite obviously isn’t confusing.
I dunno man, it’s not like he’s just a regular old normal president. I get that everyone is invested in Mamdani being perfect, but that press conference was pretty gross. Liz Cheney made it her life’s mission to ensure that Trump wasn’t normalized. She went down swinging.

The first step in generating consent to war and genocide is to dehumanise a population. Israelis did it with Palestinians, Americans did it with Afghans and Iraqis and now they are trying to portray Yemenis as no good druggies so no one feels bad when they massacre them
One reason Yemen is so impoverished is roughly 80% of the male population is addicted to Khat. They're high almost all the time.

My GOAT. Moral clarity. Moral consistency. Courage.
#Texans Azeez Al-Shaair on being fined by #NFL $11,492 for having name on his eyeblack honoring Hind Rajab, a Palestinian five-year-old girl killed by Israeli military along with her family in Gaza City in January, 2024 by Israel military and Kyrie Irving saying he'll pay the fine: 'It's bigger to me. Is a life worth $11,000? I think it's priceless. An innocent man, an innocent woman, an innocent child losing their life is not right.' 'I don't think everybody knows what it's about. I think that was the point because before that, probably most of you guys might not even know who she was. That's kind of the point. There's a lot that goes on in the world, not just overseas, right here in our own country. Even I did an event two Tuesdays ago for families that were affected by ICE that were either detained or their family members were detained. At that time, I never knew anybody personally who has been detained or anything like that. And then literally this past Tuesday, a friend of mine, literally just sitting there crying in front of me on the phone, come to find out her cousin, who's been there since he was five years old, got detained on the way to a concert and is being deported. Mind you, he has no family, no nothing over there. And that was my first interaction, my first experience with somebody that I personally know. So it's sad to say there's a lot of issues that I speak on that really are just a shed of light because a lot of people don't care nothing about it. We're in our own little matrix. We're blessed to be able to have the comforts of living in the United States and not having to worry about certain things. But there's issues here and all over the world that, you know, we talk about even what happened with him with his job and his family. Those are taxpayer dollars that we're, as Americans, are paying that are being used to bomb innocent men, women, and children. So that's really what that was about. I think it's important for everybody to do that. Not everybody does it, though. Yeah, by me, everybody. I mean you guys just as much as me. Everybody has a platform. Some bigger than others. But I think especially for myself, understanding the platform that I have and also understanding how I got that platform. I got that platform because of what I do on the field. So I always use that as motivation to be better on the field because the only reason why y'all care to talk to me and not whoever else is because of the way I play the game. So I understand that me playing extremely well gives me a bigger platform. With that platform, I'll be questioning, like I told you guys before, on what I did with it. When I got it, that's the stuff I have to ask you to, to God. So for me, To sit there and say that, oh man, the money, whatever, that wasn't relevant to me. I think it's just important to do that as human beings because we all have our own issues and things that we're going through, which can get so lost in your own problems that you can't have compassion for other people in the world.,' You and Kyrie are fighting for the same cause. Do y'all have a relationship? 'Yeah, we've talked multiple times, especially in the last week. A lot of that stuff is just him supporting me and me supporting him and having to turn his back. I think the biggest thing is me and him align on the cause, which is humanity. We both care about humanity, regardless of skin color, race, anything like that. That's what I think, more than anything, when it comes to me and him, that we align on, just not being afraid to do that. I think some people are like, well, it's pretty black and white. We don't have to have all the answers to everything to know that. An innocent man, an innocent woman, an innocent child losing their life is not right. I don't need anybody to gaslight me into saying that. Well, you've got to ask. I just know that's not right, whether they're here in America or somewhere halfway across the world'

hey rahm last month you were begging to come on the stream, last week you said you'd kill me with a 2x4. come on the broadcast and lets have this tough convo. perhaps you can address your laquan mcdonald coverup while we're at it.
Now that he won’t stop talking, the folks who told us Hasan Piker is a serious voice who should be listened to ought to let us know which of these positions we’re supposed to take seriously: 1. That “pound for pound,” America is worse than al-Qaeda - a ridiculous statement on a normal day, but particularly vile the same week we’re reflecting on the loss of 3,000 Americans on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. 2. That Communist China’s repressive regime is the “model” for America. 3. That Mao was “a great man of history” while the collapse of the Soviet Union was "one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century." The great thing about America is that everyone is entitled to their opinions and free to express them, however dumb or immoral. That includes ‘Comrade’ Piker. The rest of us are just as free - obligated even - to call out this vile, hateful speech that only divides America. axios.com/2026/09/17/hasan-p…

you silly fools, of course the US mass murdering over 50 million people through genocidal wars and indiscriminate chemical, biological and nuclear bombing does not count, because they did in the name of Freedom, Democracy and Civilization. And if it killed some ants, I mean civilians, that was just an accidental byproduct of trying to save them. I write for the Atlantic magazine, New York Times, AP, Reuters, Semafor, CNN, Washington Post, Axios, Vox, and I am a sub-human genocidal Zionist cunt.

uniparty coordinated media effort to disparage the left after a string of electoral victories. if they can't get a good soundbite, they'll invent a headline & move off that. if you're to the left of pelosi, this should worry you. this is how they construct a fascist rw victory
Short recap based on one topic I observed Fox focused on today… Hasan Piker was mentioned on pretty much every Fox show today: Fox & Friends First, Fox & Friends, America’s Newsroom, Faulkner Focus, Outnumbered, America Reports, The Story, Will Cain, The Five, Special Report, The Ingraham Angle, Jesse Watters Primetime, Hannity, Gutfeld!, and Fox News at Night. As far as CNN mentions, based on a transcript search, the same subject came up on CNN This Morning, CNN News Central, Inside Politics with Dana Bash, The Lead with Jake Tapper, and CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip.

They should pay him for educating their audience more than their own journalists apparently do
In his interview with Axios, Hasan Piker talked about the tragedy of 9/11 and explained the concept of blowback: "It's a well established academic concept. The CIA has also talked about it as well and Robert Kagan, the godfather of Neocons, recently wrote for the Brookings Institute about how our meddling in the affairs of the Middle East is what inevitably caused 9/11. I want less actors like Osama Bin Laden to exist in general. There's two schools of thoughts on this; one is obviously to kill as many people in the region as possible with the hopes that we can squash any kind of resistance whatsoever. The other path of least resistance is to NOT interfere in these affairs in general, and not continue to dominate and create an environment where people are going to seek out revenge and put us in a position of danger. Blowback is not a justification; blowback is just what it is. A justification offers either a moral condemnation or a moral acceptance of the act. I do not accept the act of 9/11 morally; I believe that it was a horrifying tragedy."
