Nw:

The response I get on here compared to X is like night and day

Iran has demonstrated resilience, absorbing attacks while maintaining internal control and the ability to retaliate.

I enjoyed Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Tommy Shelby takes on fascism. Another fine performance from Cillian Murphy and a fitting send-off for the character.

It is misleading to claim that Israel “dragged” the United States into war with Iran, because powerful factions within the US government have independently supported military confrontation with Iran for decades. youtu.be/AVkjsjjtGlA?...

War, combined with a potential oil shock, an inflated AI-driven market bubble, and an already weakening economy, creates conditions for something that could surpass the 2008 financial crisis in severity. The real danger is that all of them could collide at once.

This Iran situation feels like we already crossed the line w/out saying it out loud. You don’t move thousands of marines & warships for nothing, & once they’re there, it’s either escalate or look weak pulling back. Meanwhile, oil prices are rising, & regular people are stuck paying for them.

Empathy costs nothing but changes everything.

The US debt is past $40 trillion, yet there's still somehow always money for war. Socialism is cheaper. Universal Healthcare is cheaper. Peace is cheaper.

USPS got like a month of cash left and half a million workers depending on it But we can drop $200B like it’s nothing Make that make sense

200 billion for war with Iran… and they’re still acting like this is some “limited operation” lol That’s not a quick hit. That’s Iraq War 2.0 loading.

Obama basically ran as a progressive in 2008 and then proceeded to give us 8 more years of George W. Bush.

Get all your political updates and commentary from me: Stoner Philly Fan.

What’s happening to Cuba isn’t just politics; it’s pressure. Cut off fuel, crash the grid, squeeze the economy until it breaks, then call it “reform.” You don’t have to defend the government to see the playbook here. This is about control, not helping people.

You don’t request more than the peak Iraq War cost before a ground invasion even begins unless you anticipate something equal or larger in scope

What’s really being fought isn’t just Cuba. It’s whether any country can exist outside US economic control without getting squeezed into submission.

Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

You cannot reform ICE.

I am sorry I don't get many responses. I work during the day, and the sheer amount of replies can be overwhelming. I appreciate it even if you disagree.

Gonna need you all to rally behind the post office cause we about to run out of money in 2027. Negotiations with Amazon not going well.

Whether or not every implication is true almost becomes secondary. The image resonates because people already feel like the system is rigged, and the statue just visualizes that feeling in a blunt, almost absurd way.

There’s this deep feeling with the Epstein situation and in this world that all these elites are connected in ways we’re not supposed to see.

They put up a statue in DC of Trump and Epstein doing the Titanic pose 😭

Escalation is being driven by failure, not success, in Iran. The air war has failed to achieve a decisive victory. The situation is moving toward a dangerous tipping point where a ground war becomes more likely.

I hope you all have a good night.

I think One Battle After Another will hold up really well over time. It actually gets better the more you revisit it (I’ve seen it four times), with many memorable moments, and it stands as an important snapshot of what undocumented immigrants are going through.

It's important to study Marxism. Marxism isn’t just about politics or economics in isolation. It’s an attempt to understand the full picture of how society actually works, and why things feel the way they do in everyday life. Without it, you have an incomplete view of the world.

The US ruling class has reached a historical crisis point. Trump represents corruption, cultural decline, and moral indifference. There's a Roman emperor Caligula-type decadence.

Javier Bardem was the only one who showed courage during the Oscars.

There is no real opposition within the two-party system. Both major parties serve the same underlying system.

Guinness hits different when you convince yourself you’re 2% Irish for the day. #HappyStPatricksDay

Scorsese's resume post-Raging Bull and pre-Goodfellas is underrated. #TCMParty #TheKingOfComedy

De Niro is painful to watch and that's the point. #TCMParty #TheKingOfComedy

Can hear the opening clear as day

Unfortunately, my favorite piece of gym equipment is right in front of the Fox News TV.

The company you keep.

Capitalism created billionaires, climate collapse, and endless war. Calling that a success depends on which class you belong to.

The real choice is fundamental: Capitalism leads to war, repression, and social inequality. or Socialism is the working class taking political power and reorganizing society around human need rather than profit.

The war is already unpopular. Oil prices and economic disruptions are rising. Billions in war spending will lead to cuts in social programs. Casualties and escalation will deepen public opposition.

War is often used by governments to redirect internal tensions outward.

One Battle After Another was one of a kind

You'd think Sean Penn would want to be there this year

Alright Amy Madigan

I still think One Battle After Another is going to win, but Michael B. Jordan has a serious shot at Best Actor.

Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump because he is openly violating constitutional limits on presidential power.

The war reflects the decline of US global hegemony, not its strength. Trumpism is a response to this decline, attempting to reassert dominance through militarism and coercion.

Trump has no clear political endgame in Iran.

Peace in the Middle East is impossible without justice for Palestinians.
