This weekend I shared a post voicing my concerns about the far left. The response has been overwhelming. Leaders in both parties called to tell me the same thing: this stuff has gone too far. To be clear: I'm a progressive Democrat. My whole life, I've wanted to see... a youth movement fight for affordability, for healthcare, for real opportunity. It’s time! The system has utterly failed the next generation. Young people deserve real change — and they are right to fight for a better future. But the movement is being hijacked by too many people with insane, outlandish and nutty ideas that have nothing to do with affordability, climate solutions or health care. For example: Mamdani picked a DSA candidate who wants to abolish the police, empty every prison, erase every border and discourage interracial dating. Okayyyy ... So clearly, Chevalier has no problem condemning things! UNLESS it’s a designated terrorist organization. Believe it or not: Chevalier has refused to denounce the terror group Hamas — four times. That’s INSANE — and progressives can’t be afraid to call nonsense like that out. Supporting Hamas is NOT progressive. The idea of “no police, no prisons, no borders” — which would let pedophiles, human traffickers, terrorists, hate groups and crime syndicates run wild — is NOT progressive for vulnerable communities. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is NOT progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE. If we can't tell right from wrong, good from bad, smart from loony tunes — Team Blue will go down the same road that turned the Republican Party into a shell of itself. We can’t let that happen to the Democratic Party.show more

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas. I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life. But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE. If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas. On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas. They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters. Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas. Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice. But we see you. Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes. They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

Young progressives are standing up and fighting for a better future. I support them. They should fight back. Their generation has been left to graduate off a cliff! Millions have landed in a harsh world with too much college debt and too few jobs. The Democratic Party should get behind all their positive proposals and demands — like affordable housing, Medicare for all, climate solutions, all the good things. But every wild notion does not merit our support — just because someone says it’s “progressive.” For example: we desperately need criminal justice reform — but it’s nutty to say we want “no police, no prisons, no borders.” Generationally, it may be time for a “changing of the guard.” But that doesn’t mean we must swear allegiance to unfit candidates with backwards ideas like Darializa Avila Chevalier. This is a person who supports terrorists; opposes interracial marriages; and thinks America shouldn’t deport rapists or murderers. 😳 Progressives: we need change, but we can’t throw “common sense” out the window. The GOP stopped calling BS on all kinds of obvious foolishness — and look at what a clown show that party turned into. I will keep pushing for progressive reform— and opposing regressive nonsense — to help spare our party the same fate.

🚨 UPDATE: Van Jones says Democrat governors and senators are privately calling him PANICKING about the rise of communism in their party The left is CIVIL WARRING, the AOC and Bernie wing is now being publicly called out by even Van Jones! They know a RED LANDSLIDE could come if the Democrat platform becomes full communist. VAN JONES: "Supporting Hamas is not progressive. 'No police, no prisons, no borders' is not progressive." "Governors from both parties, senators from both parties, Democrats in the House calling thanking me for saying what everybody's been saying behind the scenes. Which is that this stuff is going too far. I am a progressive Democrat." "I've done prison reform. I never said, have no prisons. Where are you going to put the Klan? I've done police reform. I never said no police. Where are you going to put the p*dophiles?" "This stuff is going too far."

“Wesley, how could you… be a Black Republican?” That’s not a question, it’s a condemnation. It’s not curiosity, it’s control. It’s the echo of a system that has conditioned far too many to believe that skin color dictates ideology. The real question, the right question: “Wesley, why are you a Black Republican?” Because that invites a conversation. That opens the door to independent thought, to history, to values, and to truth. The Democrat Party has spent decades building cultural and political systems designed to punish Black Americans who dare to step off their ideological plantation. They don’t want us to think for ourselves—they want us to comply. And in the absence of nuance, in a world where disagreement is treated as betrayal, we’ve turned every conversation into a circular firing squad. But I won’t be silent. I won’t be shamed. And I will never apologize for thinking freely. Because freedom of thought is the essence of liberty, and no party, no movement, and no mob will take that away from me.

🚨 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson just exposed that Chuck Schumer is TERRIFIED of a Senate primary challenge from either AOC or a disciple of ZOHRAN MAMDANI "Chuck Schumer's been here for 44 YEARS. He is not the flavor of the month. And he knows that he's gonna get a challenge. If it's not AOC, it'll be another disciple of Mamdani or somebody like that." "They all know that. Ask Hakeem JEFFRIES why he has not openly endorsed Mamdani for the mayor of New York! He's in a real bind." "Because Hakeem Jeffries, while he's a far left progressive politician, he's not a communist. But you have to aspire, you have to say, you have to stand for the farthest left ideas." "Socialism, communism, Marxism right now to be in favor in the Democratic Party. This is not your grandfather's Democratic Party. They wouldn't recognize it." "And that's the dynamic that Chuck Schumer is dealing with, and that's why he's drawing the line right here. He had to show a 'fight', and everybody knows it. It is plainly on display." 💯

. Karoline Leavitt lays out the clear choice for Americans: “President Trump and many Americans are extremely concerned with how far-left the Democrat Party is moving. This is not your granddaddy's Democrat Party. These are communists, and the President is right to call them that. They want to abolish prisons, the police, and private property. These are radical Marxist ideas that have never worked in the history of the world. So it’s a choice coming up between communism and common sense.”

Reporter: So you're agreeing with the Republicans on the shutdown. You're agreeing on Israel. You're agreeing on the woke BS. Are you close to becoming a Republican? Sen. Fetterman: No. No. I'd be a terrible Republican. But I'll just be a very honest Democrat that's not necessarily afraid to push back against some of these views that I just don't agree with. Like, if you can't be unapologetically supportive of Israel, then that's a problem for my party. If you think it's the right thing to shut our government down for any reason, then that should be a problem too. And I believe we need to secure our border, and things were out of control under the Biden administration about the border. And now I think that's right. Those are the views that I have. With this shutdown, it would be wrong if the Republicans did that, it’s wrong now. We need to reopen this. As a Democrat, 42 million Americans are food insecure. That’s at the very core of the kinds of people we really need to protect. Every union connected to this shutdown is calling for it to end. If we’re fighting for working families, why don’t we agree with them and just do this?

Hamas leadership has been living lavishly in Qatar while the people that they claim to represent in Gaza are suffering. They’ve been directing a war from the comfort of their five-star hotels for almost two years, refusing to release the 48 hostages that are still being held in Gaza. Today, Israeli officials announced that they took a targeted action against these Hamas leaders who have been terrorizing the region for years. This war in Gaza is brutal. It has to end. Palestinians are suffering, Israelis are suffering. The entire region is suffering. The people of Gaza, the Arab League, the US and Israel are all saying the same thing. Hamas must be removed from power. Inside Gaza, people are risking their lives to protest Hamas, and they’re being silenced, beaten, even killed on the streets. They know that Hamas is the reason Gaza is in ruin. They know that Hamas is the one who started the war, and Hamas is the reason that it hasn’t ended yet. And this has been Hamas’s plan all along, force Israel into a war it never wanted to fight, but has to win. Hamas spent years preparing the October 7th attack. They knew exactly what an urban war in a densely populated area would look like. They all went into hiding and left their people out to suffer. And these devastating consequences for the people of Gaza? That was a part of their strategy, to delegitimize Israel’s standing in the eyes of the world. They knew what they were doing, and Israel could not and still cannot allow these jihadists to live on its borders. No other nation would allow that. This is the linchpin of the entire conflict right now. Once Hamas is gone, the war ends, the suffering ends, and Gaza can finally rebuild. So today, Israel sent a message that there’s no safe place for terrorists anywhere on Earth, and we all need to stand together and say release the hostages, remove Hamas, end the war.

Mamdani on Arch/Ballroom/Club Rose Garden: My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people. And what we are looking to show in New York City is an alternative to what has led so many to become disenchanted with the political process. We want to show that not only can government work, but it must, and that at its core, our responsibility is to working people—to ensure that we’re doing everything to make their lives easier. That has to be what drives our actions, and for too long, government has felt more like a distraction than a fulfillment of the needs of the people who’ve been left behind by the politics of today.

Hamas leader Khaled Mashal: “We do not accept the two state solution.” — January 22, 2024 “I would like to say two things about the two-state solution. First, we have nothing to do with the two-state solution. We reject this notion, because it means you would get a promise for a [Palestinian] state, yet you are required to recognize the legitimacy of the other state, which is the Zionist entity. This is unacceptable. We demand to be liberated, to get rid of the occupation, and to have our independence, and our state. [Israel] is my enemy. It is not my concern." “Obviously, the position of Hamas, and the position of the vast majority of the Palestinian people, especially following October 7, I believe that the dream and the hope for Palestine from the River to the Sea, and from the north to the south, has been renewed. This has also become a slogan chanted in the U.S., and in western capital cities, by the American and Western public.” “Hamas agreed to a completely independent (Palestinian) state, with the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital, with the Right of Return included without recognizing the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. This position was meant to facilitate Palestinian and Arab agreement at this stage, but without relinquishing any of our rights or any part of our land, and without recognizing Israel. Our vision remains unchanged. I believe that October 7 has enhanced this conviction, has narrowed the disagreements, and has turned the idea of liberating Palestine from the River to the Sea into a realistic idea that has already begun. It is not something merely to be expected or hoped for, It is part of the plan, part of the agenda, and we are standing on its threshold, Allah willing.” TRANSLATED BY MEMRI Source:

It’s really important for Americans to realize that this is a bigggg misconception that applies to all immigration, not just China. The people who come over the border, regardless of whether they’re Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Central American, generally are “not their best”. I use quotes because that’s something Trump said, “they don’t send their best”. And he is absolutely correct. There are exceptions, but the people who cross the border, tend to be criminals, people who can’t a get a job, the uneducated, etc. Why? The educated can get jobs in their home countries. Or can immigrate to the US legally (at least used to). If you have a criminal record in your home country, you don’t have one in the USA. If you screwed up and dropped out of high school, you can cut vegetables in the back of a restaurant. Law abiding citizens of foreign countries, no matter what you think about the greatness of America, are not thrilled to break the law and enter a country like this. This immigration for many if not most of these countries is economic. Most of these people are not coming for a better life. They are coming for the currency arbitrage. Or at least that used to be the case. From 2021 to 2024 border crossing immigrants were getting free housing and cash debit cards (look it up) in places like NYC. So that, again, brought another type of person, but, again, it was “not their best”. So, unless you’re in a country that is experiencing civil war, or maybe a total basket case, you mainly go to the US via the illegal border, not for a better life but for currency arbitrage or because you don’t have a better option in your home country which has made it tough for you to get a job for whatever reason. Okay, now let’s talk a bit more about China. For the Chinese that cross the border, life is way better in China. They speak the language. There is less crime. They’re surrounded by their family. They don’t need a car in most places. It’s the same culture and there friends are there. Life is pretty good in China, and because they’re going to work hard in the USA too, it’s probably better in China across every single socioeconomic quartile of society too (unless you have a criminal record or can’t get a job for whatever reason). So when Americans write things like “Chinese are dying to come to America”, there could be a political issue there eg on the wrong side of the communist party, but it’s mainly Americope, something we tell ourselves. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it’s no longer true. America needs to change that. We need to go back to when everyone wanted to come here, not just for money but for a better life. And this is something you should believe even if you don’t want immigration. If this keeps up, if we keep letting life decline, eventually the currency will too, and all these people who actually work quite hard will not only stop coming, but many will leave too. The replies are all going to basically be like (without saying it) “shut up white American. You don’t know” Yeah but I do know because I talk to people who people who look like me don’t talk to. In the below video (before I got good at short form videos) I had just been thrown out of a migrant detention center.

Life is pretty good in China, and because they’re going to work hard in the USA too, it’s probably better in China across every single socioeconomic quartile of society too (unless you have a criminal record or can’t get a job for whatever reason). So when Americans write things like “Chinese are dying to come to America”, there could be a political issue there eg on the wrong side of the communist party, but it’s mainly Americope, something we tell ourselves. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it’s no longer true. America needs to change that. We need to go back to when everyone wanted to come here, not just for money but for a better life. And this is something you should believe even if you don’t want immigration. If this keeps up, if we keep letting life decline, eventually the currency will too, and all these people who actually work quite hard will not only stop coming, but many will leave too. The replies are all going to basically be like (without saying it) “shut up white American. You don’t know” Yeah but I do know because I talk to people who people who look like me don’t talk to. In the below video (before I got good at short form videos) I had just been thrown out of a migrant detention center.

It’s time that New Zealand got a grip, and finally looked beyond the two big loser parties. 2026 is time for NZFirst to be largest party in the CR coalition. It’s no longer a choice between the left and the right, it’s a choice between Labour Marxist globalist gronks, National soft cock globalist gimps or a party that believes in our country, is not progressive hogwash and is led by New Zealand’s iconic nationalist. National is collapsing - and it’s all their own doing, changing the leader won’t help, it’s the party’s culture… indifferent ineffective pansy politicians. The choice is NOT to vote for Labour they are of course worse, but National and Labour are by far the most philosophically aligned parties. What needs to happen is to change the composition of the CR - with NZFirst the largest party, we have MMP this is doable. We cannot survive another term of that flop Luxon, or anyone else from that junk ass party, they only deserve to be a support party in coalition while they get reorientated, rehabilitated and have their globalist traits beaten out of them. Make WP PM in 2026.

BANNON: It was unreason that won the Revolution. It’s unreason that made us free. We’re not going to be reasonable. We’re going to fight for this country. The same country that the revolutionary generation created and has been passed down to us through every patriot’s grave. No, we’re totally unreasonable, and we have not yet begun to fight. We will never, ever, ever quit. Are we going to have speed bumps? Yes. Are we going to have defeats? Yes. Are we ever going to be beaten? No. Is that not the lesson of the Revolution? They had many, many, many defeats. In the first 90 days, a fiasco of defeat and retreat. That’s the MAGA movement. That’s our place in American history today.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have led Israel into a dead end. For too long, the United States has confused being a strong ally with being a silent one. A blank check has come without expectations, accountability, or consequences. That approach has allowed Prime Minister Netanyahu to ignore America's concerns over settlements, expand a regional war, and believe there would be no strategic cost. It has also allowed the denial of food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians in Gaza, fueling a perception around the world that Israel is indifferent to the suffering of civilians. That is not good for Israel. It is not good for America. And it is not a path to peace. The strongest alliances are built on honesty, shared values, and the willingness to tell each other hard truths. It's time for a fundamentally new approach to the U.S.-Israel relationship—one that advances Israel's security, Palestinian’s right to self-determination, and the Arab world’s desire for regional stability.

International VP of the United Steelworkers Roxanne Brown: I don’t know if I can curse on this podcast, but I’m a steelworker. One of the things I always say is, you can’t bullshit a steelworker. You can’t bullshit a union member, right? Union workers know the real and understand who is for them. When bullshit is in front of them, they’re able to identify what it is and see through that. That’s what I would really implore my brothers, sisters, and siblings across the labor movement: don’t be snowed by the bullshit. Pay attention, do your research on what Trump has done for workers versus what the Biden-Harris Administration has done for workers, and you will find there’s a huge gap. The Biden-Harris Administration has gone leaps and bounds—not just now but into the future—to secure a foundation for American working families and workers to propel into economic prosperity. What Trump has done is not that. He has told us from his own mouth that he doesn’t want us to be organized. He doesn’t support the right of workers to join unions. He does not support the right of workers to earn overtime or that extra bit of income to have more money in your paychecks to do the things you need to do for your family to survive. He has told you he does not support your retirement. He never supported the Butch Lewis Act. Over a million workers would still be facing a crisis and not being able to access their earned retirement if we still had a Trump administration. There are record numbers of people accessing health care because the Biden-Harris Administration has spent the time to get folks enrolled in the ACA to be able to access health care. These are gains, brothers, sisters, and siblings, that would not have happened under a Trump administration. These are gains that matter to your pocketbooks, gains that matter to your kitchen table because you need food on that table to survive. These are gains that matter to your kids’ future because they need jobs. Not everybody’s going to college. They need good union jobs to help them survive and earn a respectable living into the future. That does not come with that man who does not believe in us. We believe in us as working people. So pay attention, don’t be snowed by the bullshit. We know better.

The UN’s pro-Hamas stance is finally exposed on live TV. In the words of a UN Under-Secretary-General “Hamas is NOT a terrorist group for us, it’s a political movement.” Is the brutal murder of hundreds of civilians, not terror? Is the systematic rape of women not terror? Is attempting Jewish genocide not terror? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the United Nations: a terror-excusing, Hamas-promoting, victim-blaming organization that has lost every ounce of credibility. Nothing said by the UN can be trusted or accepted. United NationsReliefChief you are no “humanitarian”. Sadly, you are a terror collaborator.

“What shaped the RPF struggle, is its history and the conviction that ‘there are things I deserve, and you must give them to me.’ People may use different methods, but the principle is the same. Giving me my rights is not something I should have to beg for, kneel for, or fight you for. We will have a fight, no question about it. I can’t beg anybody. I do not expect anybody to give me my right as a favor. No.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

Emily Blunt talks about working with Steven Spielberg in "Disclosure Day": "I got a call from my agent saying Steven Spielberg wanted to meet me for his next movie. And I literally screamed. I met him in his office in Tribeca, and he pitched me a little bit of it. [...]. So, I mean, the big idea of it is that question that has sparked the fires of human imagination for years: Are we alone, or are we not alone? And if we aren't, why are the people in power hiding the truth from us? The movie is like a life-or-death race against time for those who believe the truth belongs to 8 billion people and those who believe that it doesn't and want to keep it secret. I'm sure you are now getting asked a lot about your own personal belief as to whether there are aliens or not. I think it would be arrogant for me to assume that we are alone."
