Gaza, south Lebanon, the West Bank, southwest Syria, this is the model that Israel wants across MENA: weak, permanently unstable, incapable of infrastructural reconstruction or administrative cohesion.

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

in times like these it behooves me to remember that the R word is bad, no matter how accurately it may describe the president, his cabinet, and his supporters

in a dank and desolate basement in braddock, pennsylvania, john fetterman is jerking himself raw to this

this line is repeated by israel and its defenders and apologists almost like a mantra, as if asserting the right to “self-defense” and “existence” can absolve it of any grievous harm it commits. a thought-terminating cliche with redemptive powers

the world will be a better place when donald trump is no longer in it. i hope every day that today is the day he dies

Voters don’t think the Democratic Party is too progressive, they think it’s weak and ineffective www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

yeah... we cannot entertain her as a 2028 possibility anymore. she must be regarded the same way as Newsom - a candidate which must be stridently opposed for the nomination she's a better person than Newsom but she's part of the same political school of thought that got us into this mess.

pointing to starmer's labour collapsing as a warning to the democrats in the US will not work, i fear. starmer accomplished the important thing, which is keeping the left away from power for a few more years. the dems will see him as aspirational

every book is called some shit like The Husband’s Wife

this confirms both the data we already had on the issue as well as the prior that 2024’s result was baked in (which was, of course, supported by the data we already had)

the next 50 years of american politics will be an increasingly intense cycle of “spineless neoliberal democrat who tries and fails to implement inadequate milquetoast reforms” —> “increasingly unhinged fascist of varying competence”

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

every household in america should be seeing ads of trump saying “i’m allowed to destroy the country” 24-7 until election day

The Supreme Court:

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

maybe we can talk about this once it’s the common dem position to affirm the humanity and rights of trans people at least as directly as he has

Choking both the QB and the OL 😭😭😭

For more singing toilets tune into the Turning Point USA halftime show

Imagine being at a Super Bowl party and the host switches to the TPUSA halftime show. I'd fire a shot into my neck

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Minnesota's Secretary of State has denied bribe for hire Pam Bondi's extortion request for the state’s voter rolls. So proud of Minnesota. Never bow to fascists.

i genuinely hate these people so much

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

god AOC is such a disappointment. none of this is “just a distraction” and this rhetoric convinces no one

“before shots rang out” fuck you you goddamn fucking cowards

pretty good that people know the democrats are the pro-gay/trans party and trust them on the issue *because* of that

people who say that transphobic policymakers want to deny puberty blockers and hormones to trans youth because it “makes them pass better” could at least try to hide their open contempt and disgust for trans people who are nonpassing or not conventionally attractive

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

Minnesota is effectively in a 21st Century Bleeding Kansas situation

more and more teams around the league are starting to use the “tush push”

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

🚨 🚨 🚨 The Ravens and long-time decorated head coach John Harbaugh are parting ways after days of discussion, per The Insiders. Major decision in Baltimore.

The Dems’ fear of being called a bunch of pansies for not supporting an illegal military operation once again proves that it’s just gender all the way down

bush’s brother and the conservative supreme court both worked in tandem to steal the 2000 election from al gore but it’s okay because at least he feigned graciousness sometimes and didn’t literally try to coup the government

this is honestly pretty good. we’re several years deep into a concerted hate movement funded by billionaires to engender widespread hatred of trans people, and yet only 50% of americans disagree with the statement that a trans woman is a woman. like… that’s cause for optimism!!

trump really believes that countries are people and that there are two kinds of people in the world: rapists who you collude with and victims who get raped

meanwhile harris lost an election by a razor-thin margin in which trump won only a popular vote plurality and that was declared a historic mandate for the republican party and the end of liberalism

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

how much time do we have before the full unredacted epstein files are leaked

Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state

such a good trade, i’m so excited

No decision on permission in Sex Matters's challenge to trans inclusion at the ponds until the new year. "For GLP’s senior solicitor, Cat Knight, people who swim in the pond 'could not have been more clear that trans women are women and they want the women’s pond to be a trans inclusive space'"

chris van hollen will win 400 EVs in 2028, it was revealed to me in a dream

hi bluesky

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

it’s pretty inarguable at this point that professional sports and legalized sports betting cannot coexist, like it’s an existential threat at this point. problem is that with how big these betting lobbies are now, there is no putting that toothpaste back in the tube
