Tariffs are taxes

Since this is making the rounds, Noa Argamani, pictured here shortly after her RESCUE from being kept as a LITERAL HOUSE SLAVE is celebrating at a pool party. The man across from her on the other person’s shoulders is her DAD. Jesus fking crist

Former hostages and their loved ones are celebrating in the streets, marking both Simchat Torah and the release of the hostages

People who think the US is uniquely materialistic and mercenary need to, like... travel to other countries. Or, like, learn about other ones. Fucking, like, half of Asia, man. You think the US rat race is bad? *China* invented 9-9-6.

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

Gee I guess they weren’t treated great. Someone should tell CNN.

if young republicans talk like this to each other, you bet your ass they talk like this to reporters too, and reporters (until this specific article I guess) have happily pretended this wasn't happening

There should be federal limits in how much lead is allowed in our supplements

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald. I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Jesus Christ, "neoliberal" has fully lost all connection to what the word actually fucking means when it's now used to mean "someone who hates coffee."

Not true. If people were merely calling for a Ceasefire, they would have been agreed with, 100% by supporters of Israel, 80% of whom hate Nethanyahu. But people were using Zionism as an epithet. People wanted Israel to cease to exist. And that as the LEAST of it.

When the media chooses to believe terrorists, nothing good happens

Daily update from Gaza: it’s a fcking zoo & there are no zookeepers. 300+ Gazans killed in the last 2 days by Hamas and rival clans. Listen to Ahmed - he’s a Palestinian & former Gazan who GOT OUT. 👇

liberals are engaged in a global struggle for the survival of liberalism, one that transcends national borders, and if we retake control of the strongest military on earth it is our moral responsibility to use it for the good of liberalism

if global rightwing authoritarianism is doing a hybrid war against you, at the very least you also have to respond with hybrid war.

So I did re-tweet this and it's true and I'm not dunking, just adding context, but for a lot of these mentioned it was a generational struggle to get democracy and did involve the outright death of it before hand. Spain, after all, was ruled by Franco from 1939 till 1975.

WE MUST MAKE COLOR REVOLUTION THEORY REAL

The US threatened to crush the Dutch economy unless the Netherlands granted Indonesia independence in 1949, did the same to stop Britain in the Suez Crisis, and Biden told the Brazilian military that it would slash security cooperation unless they respected Lula's win in 2022. This has worked before

we have to be willing to just fuck with foreign governments in order to promote pro-democracy forces and harm pro-authoritarian forces in those countries *that's* our actual interest, not whatever faff natsec heads preach about "the rules based order"

Tired: the cia is an agent of covert regime change abroad and that’s bad Wired: the cia is an agent of covert regime change abroad and that’s not only good but essential to democracy

I hope ASEAN will soon also be able to make similar progress. In the world Trump is creating, transnational organisations are the means by which we can prevent the "dog eat dog" world where the weak do as they must and the strong as they will, that Trump envisions for us.

Remember, folks, the only thing preventing a carbon negative future is right-wingers in political positions. The economics are clear: green energy has won!

Qatar ⌨️ @rubyguidesisrael - "I never thought I would say these words, but here goes: Qatar told Hamas to release the hostages."

Many people On Here think that capitalism is uniquely bad, but when you boil it down, their fundamental critique of capitalism is a critique of humanity and power, not a particular economic system.

The people who voted for Trump because they just straightforwardly hate non-whites or immigrants or gays, etc. and correctly intuited Trump would hurt them are worse people overall but smarter and more rational political actors than the people like Andreeseen who thought he’d do #AmericanDynamism

Israel doesn’t really care if the Felon’s plan is good or bad, the only part they care about is the part where they get their people back. You know. Like the majority of Jewish people have been saying this whole damn time. Jesus fking christ

In actuality the Biden admin achieved 3 ceasefires! 2 in Israel and 1 in the Congo.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

New study finds Democrats represent public opinion better than Republicans: "the quality of statehouse democracy, here meaning the dynamic relationship between opinion and policy, is substantially weakened by Republican Party control of state government." www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

And so dear children you see This is the curse of Jew-hatred “IF we can’t get ahold of Jews we must still KILL KILL KILL” so they turn on each other. This is the sickness that ALWAYS ends in a big pile of death. Now you know why you should fear.

What’s funny is the Jewish people told the leftists this is exactly what would happen as soon as the IDF pulled out but they said, ”We don’t care.”

The Jewish people told you this would happen Your majority did not want to hear it Your majority moved too slow for too long Now look who is paying If this is the world’s ”love” I’ll stick with being Jewish, thanks.

"This was all about some ugliness that we’re not part of. We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims." Everyone is "in politics" in a democracy. Tell these American whisky guys to vote harder or cope harder.

Good morning. What oil refineries doing?

what a glorious thing to see

Everyday I get yelled at by people insisting that “zio” is a political philosophy and not a slur invented by David Duke.
