Remember this: when Communists say “fight Nazis” they don’t mean “shoot Nazi soldiers” they mean “be a Communist” and if you do the former but not the latter they might just shoot you

Lift up your hearts, my heroes,
And swear with proud disdain,
The wretch that would ensnare you
Shall spread his net in vain;

do not fear these people // i will see you motherfuckers in court are dual messages we really need to hear from more of the elites who have been targeted by this admin

I won't say to be complacent, but I will say not to be scared because being afraid of these fucking people is beneath you. Yes, even you, internet rando who I strongly dislike.

New in OPINION: Sen. Markey: Pass the torch

Remembering the Russian draft protests in late '22 where there were like 50,000 different angles of the crowd filming and offered zero resistance to their comrades being plucked from the crowd by riot cops and carried off by their arms and legs

Congratulations to the Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine for meeting Europe's decarbonization goals several decades early

You failed the test <3

A lot of folks view their vote as a little gift they give to a politician who catches their fancy, rather than an act of collective action on behalf of the less fortunate. You are not giving out a rose on The Bachelor, you're acting in solidarity with millions of other people.

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

My politics is war, migration, and gender

This is from August. We already did this. But since we are trapped in this repeating hell:

Obama was President for the full duration of the active phase of the first invasion of Ukraine His rationale for withholding lethal aid from the post-Maidan government was that providing so much as a single bullet would spoil his beloved Russian Reset and make Putin’s army march to Berlin

This is Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces commander and this image is from his unit’s official account

The Irish subtype are doubly funny in this regard because not only do they think Europe should align against Europe to ensure the security of Europe against Europe, they also believe Ireland‘s history of British oppression is why they should rely on the RAF to defend its airspace.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: JD Vance lacks the rizz to keep the conservative coalition together MAGA will struggle to outlive Trump, the personality cult is extremely load-bearing

I don't think it's appropriate for Republicans to make death threats to college students

the russians started world war one

CHOTINER: Your intentions were good, so you say, in the beginning? SISKO: Maybe I should have put a stop to it right there. CHOTINER: How well did you know Senator Vreenak? SISKO: I cheated. I lied. I am an accessory to murder. CHOTINER: Go on. SISKO: People are dying out there every day!

“Professor Richard Godeffroy primly testified that the chemical industry did not employ women and children, save for the fabrication of fireworks. In the trickier production of explosives women again were preferred, thanks to their superior manual dexterity and the refusal of males to stop smoking.”

The only way these fascist chucklefucks make this work is by succeeding in manufacturing the *appearance* of inevitability, because they *do not* have the force or skill to win a straight fight. In short, the only weapon that can deliver them victory is you: the fool doomer whose nihilism is poison

The United States is a tough nut to crack for this kind of thing, by design. Lots of independently elected officials (like blue and purple state governors) with their own supplies of force and democratic legitimacy. Big country, fragmented media, long democratic traditions. Hard nut to crack.

Non war take, Taaffe was an excellent politician and more should be written (in English) about the Iron Ring government.

I hope it’s at a discount rate because if she’s failing to dominate nerdy WW2 dads and autistic lesbians who spend 15 minutes outside a month combined, I‘m not buying with an assumption of quality.

“Before the incorruptible tribunal of history could lend its sanction to such a representation, the books, the archives, the very memory of man, must be obliterated and destroyed. No her immortal pen will deliver down to posterity a very different account.”

I hope I get to kill the alien cloud and turn its corpse into coffee.

"European Commission calls for the end of online privacy and freedom of expression in the EU". Fixed your headline, Politico.

“Why is it called “Elite” again? Because it is Elite.” - Qualcomm.

Americans: some of you talk like this already and it’s revolting, self-indulgent whining. 140 million people who can’t do anything in 30 years? If we tolerate 30 years of MAGA, it’s our fucking fault for being too weak to stand up. Anyway, she is shit, Russians are shit, and we must not copy them.

it is deeply, deeply weird to me—although perhaps it shouldn't be—that 35 years after the First World decisively won the Cold War, its leaders are more afraid of Russia's nukes than at any other time except two weeks in the autumn of 1962

The internet should be a place where people can find the knowledge they need to make decisions about their lives. Shadowbanning abortion content punishes educators and people who need the info. It’s time for platforms to stop hiding account suppression behind excuses of algorithms and “bugs.”

This is an Xbox:

Guns? Army Rangers? What a lily-livered pussy. We need SEALs with Carl Gustavs to fire the rounds at their own feet and show that [slur deleted] [slur deleted] [slur deleted] escalator just who's fucking boss! And the entire [slur deleted] [archaic slur deleted] UN!

Gosh, James, maybe it was a bad idea to kneecap Clinton at the last minute and make this guy the president.

It’s an old Russian tradition that westerners wouldn’t understand

I often think about how the 2014-16 refugee crisis that propelled the Transatlantic extreme right to power was a direct result of Obama choosing to completely ignore the unfolding humanitarian catastrophes in Syria after 2013 and Libya after 2011

oh, we're doing recovered memory again. *grits teeth* wonderful.

this is also why I get a certain grumpy expression at the 'just go to therapy/men would rather X than go to therapy' stuff. therapy is a young and uncertain field which is very hard to measure, a lot of therapy is wasted money and some of it is actively harmful!

Jeffries: "Trump agrees to our demand to hold a meeting to avert a govt shutdown. The meeting is set on Monday for later in the week. And then Trump wakes up Tuesday and goes on an unhinged rant and cancels the meeting. Why? Because he doesn't want to discuss the Republican healthcare crisis."

I think it’s good that the Biden administration tried to stop disinformation on COVID that was hurting people and it’s just silly that people think it isn’t

REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.” TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME” REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Sounds like something a paper tiger would say

Like it's not great the international system depends on swing voters in Wisconsin every four years but uh the European Council depends on Orban not being an asshole or any one of a number euroskeptics HoG/HoS not torpedoing everything, it's the 60-vote senate on steroids

Shooters just a really big fan of glycol.
