Stephen Miller: "Violence beats votes." Yeah, buddy. We know that's the philosophy you live by.

So basically, they *know* they're gonna lose an election - therefore there *must* be violence to justify cancelling them. You can see it from miles off.

“Violence beats votes.” The only good thing about this egotistical and stupid administration is they’re dumb enough to eventually admit their plan publicly, in advance. Can’t help themselves.

Pretty sure Jan 6th was an attempt by violence to beat votes.

If you're physically flexing government "muscle", you're perpetrating the violence that you hope will beat votes. You know you won't win at the ballot box in a free and fair election.

💥🔎🇷🇺 Our analysis reveals the scale of Russia’s massive propaganda offensive in Moldova: in 3 weeks, 9,900 TikTok videos were published and generated over 93 million views, created with artificial intelligence. Yet despite Moscow’s efforts, the pro-European PAS secured 50.2% in the Sept 28 election.

Did Chinese kiss?

Mistaken for the Buddha? Illustrated European books from the 18th century mistakenly treated this image as the Buddha; it started as an image of a Sri Lankan king...

What is a promise worth from someone with no honor?

Regardless of the bloodstained "fig leaf" presented by the likes of Shadow-Führer Stephen Miller, it is imperative to remain clear about what this clearly is.

Texas sending its state military to other states against their will to occupy cities is an invasion. So let's call it what it is; what it would be called in any other scenario: A hostile, military, illegal invasion.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE MOON? ✨ a thread, because everyone is confused about Mid-Autumn Festival...

You chucklefucks bought your tickets, now you're strapped in for the whole ride. No seat-switches mid-ride, you gormless weasels.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

I'm like... this is it? The fact that the Trump administration didn't totally erase the American legal system has him thinking Democrats are going to arrest him if they win the next election if there are elections at all?

In @nytopinion “The right has systematically undermined the very idea of dispassionate expertise. Now, conservative Zionists are surprised that the resulting chaos has spun out of their control,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

'Because of the REF’s direct link both to (unhypothecated) gold and (international) glory, nothing really motivates universities more.' Really? REF has dropped down the list of important things at rather a lot of universities, with student numbers a larger driver. 1/2

No, you're not going crazy. You did read this and also read about the PSNI arresting people in London for being members of a proscribed organization.

Virgin Teuton (muh warrior culture, cannot go anywhere without servants, can be defeated with big stick) versus Chad Lithuanian Peasant (last pagan in Europe, has never heard of chainmail, thinks Jews are cool because Yahweh reminds him of Perkūnas, has killed 293,139,104 Germans before lunch)

This is like the tiny Korean socdem party which basically attacks the parliamentary centre-left from the left on economics and from the hawk perspective on foreign policy

Critical support

Not to put too fine a point on it, but stop boosting his ego and building his fake case for a nobel.

Like this is comical stuff lads. The deal has not actually been accepted, the caveats about when he might be willing to back Israel in resuming the war give Bibi plenty of avenues for how to restart the war even if it is, there is no obvious path to Palestinian statehood stipulated by the plan.

The FT is a great newspaper but one thing I find downright comical about it is its sincere belief that Trump has outwitted Netanyahu, a belief that dates back to the first ceasefire, one that, notably, was violated

Random fact: PM Ruginienė spent her summers growing up in Kramatorsk

Yea covid for sure

Not surprising that Beijing would politicize the Mid-Autumn Festival www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/a...

This week, I wrote about how the liberation of Palestine would require widespread decolonial action. Through an analysis of Kneecap's body of work and their unapologetic solidarity, I write about how Palestine challenges the very world we live in today, for @theflytrapmedia.com (free post):

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

In case you’re wondering how grassroots Republican activists in Oregon are metabolizing what’s happening in the state. This person is a coordinator for two long running conservative organizations in the state: The Gathering of the Eagles and the Abigail Adams project.

This sounds a lot like confabulation. Confabulation is the unintentional creation and communication of false or distorted memories that are inconsistent with known facts. Confabulation is different from lying and is often seen in people with certain types of dementia.

It was perfect. 10/10. No notes.

While many Autistic ppl don’t like to have sex … a *lot* of us are “down to clown” … and those of us who don’t have children … often have biological siblings … and those siblings *also* carry genes related to Autism … The dominant factor in offspring being Autistic is their parents forking.

Chicago isn’t a war zone. Chicago isn’t in a state of emergency. Chicago isn’t a military training ground. Chicago isn’t in need of “saving”. The only threat in Chicago is the ICE fascists who are kidnapping people from their homes at night. Remove ICE & you remove the threat.
