At this point it’s already clear that there will, certainly, have to be some formal reckoning, at some point, over the relationship bw comrade mayor z and the org. How nat and nyc each function in that, idk. And hopefully it’s a good reckoning. But it’s already an inevitability

translated from a Spanish paper: “Epstein wasn't selling girls' bodies, he was selling the experience of impunity. The end product was not the sexual act, but the assurance that there would be no consequences.”

I have one principle, which is that people should not be starved to death. I cannot stand when countries sit idly by while entire populations are allowed to starve. I don’t care if the leader of that country is a leftoid girlboss or orange Hitler, both will deserve my criticism

look lol. I’m not even against this. But seeing it put this way... it’s too on the nose. Respectfully: decades on, put this tweet in the Opportunism Museum, and make sure the guided audio offers sophisticated context—the unvarnished truth of what was won, and who was betrayed

(I am joking)

CTeen security briefing Say what you will about shmira…

I’ve actually never thought to construe the aggressive international/export push the nfl has been making for a while now in these terms… which feel like some sort of potentially notable instance of imperial anti-boomerang (?)

Part/whole, universal/particular, apparent/absolute, whatever you like

The classic example concerns Red. To grasp that belief (like anything) is a universal, undifferentiated mode of subjectivity—splintered only by instantiation—reveals that others are trying to tell you about Red, but have only instances of red unfamiliar to you to point at

this revelation does not bring disagreements into harmony or render them irrelevant, obviously, not at all, but it does precipitate a stunning, glacial melt of confusion off the body of discourse, all discourse

As a former (10 yo) militant atheist, I can say from experience that it is a long arc by which the understanding emerges that people do not believe IN discrete ideas, but THROUGH discrete ideas

Anyone can construe this (reposted vv) as they see fit and justify it how they wish; its always been shit I can’t condone, and at this point I have to ask myself what my own contributions are to it—even the most elliptical—and whether *i* can still justify *them*. Idk. Stay tuned

guy who’s so anti-Semitic he ends up accidentally becoming a respected Talmud scholar

You’re on thick ice mister. You can keep up this behavior without fear of consequences

somebody asked me if i was a mathemetician and i said no im just autistic <3

In America we have 4 jobs: Nazi Spreadsheets Driving Being tortured to death

lmao

Shameless gerontocracy. Any serious political program in this country would support stripping the old (>50) of political rights and transferring their wealth to the youth. If ppl faced the prospect of disenfranchisement past a certain age, they'd learn to treat younger ppl better

having an antisemitism czar in new york city is really a solution in search of a problem that will quite likely harm vulnerable communities

I think everyone in the DSA, including the more lib folks should get comfortable with explicitly organizing for revolution. Organizing for revolution includes electoral work and the like. Organizing for elections does not include organizing for revolution. Thoughts?

because they’re compromised. I find it funny how leftists are criticizing Zohran over this but ignoring his maintaining Tisch in power and betrayal of abolition.
