Rather than give aid to flood victims and work to prevent these tragedies in the future, Texas Republicans are doing Trump's bidding and rigging the elections against you. We broke it down and the TXDems fleeing the state on @LeftReckoning .

The NY Times is reporting that Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo spoke on the phone about ways to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor of NYC. The anti-democracy coalition

Lord, as someone who gets a lot of unsolicited emails, Chat GPT has led to an explosion in unhinged political manifestos!. I miss the old days when, if you were a little unhinged, you had to spend some time writing these down, now people can just generate unending lunancy.

"islamists" Paul Mason sounds just like a right-winger. Just a pathetic small man.
Why is Corbyn's new party full of private school kids? And why did its MPs vote against VAT on private schools? Socialism is just a hobby for this mixture of Islamists and toffs . 👇🏽

I want to know what AI scam company pushed this monstrosity on these still grieving parents. It is exceptionally cruel, EVIL.
An AR-15 stole Joaquin’s life, not artificial intelligence. Instead of being infuriated at AI, you should be furious at the gun violence epidemic in the United States. Thank you for amplifying Joaquin’s voice @Acosta

Lol this was the Kamala Harris strategy. It fell flat and led to a historic defeat!. This isn't just hindsight being 20/20. Jacobin called it early!
Many of us are looking for a positive message from the left (the democrats in the US, the center left in Europe) to win the coming elections. My two cents: Now that autocracy has shown more and more clearly its true nature, its barbarity, its randomness, make the next elections.

Very smart review here from @Matthuber78 @fredstaffordcs & @Leigh_Phillips on Abundance. It takes the responsibility of building a socialist future seriously. That will mean taking on the forces of stagnation and the NGOs, but most importantly capitalism.

Abundance is the precondition of socialism, but socialism is also the precondition of abundance.

Where was this enthusiasm for 'democratic socialism' when Warren publicly stabbed Bernie in 2020?.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor. REPORTER: "Democratic socialism—is this what the party should look like?". WARREN: "Yes, you bet!"
