Sewer Socialism now has a cousin, wooooooo

If he becomes PM, he should eat a sandwich in a increasingly weird fashion every day just to flex.

chaos with ed miliband, ten years later...

many years ago Kansas socialism was a thing. it might be happening again.

He did the "vote to proceed and not to confirm" thing, the dumbest political maneuver known to man.

Deleting this post because on talking to some friends, this is actually not what's happening. They're counting "pension smoothing" towards the deficit reduction, which isn't a long-term fix but which is broadly supported by city unions and isn't actually underfunding anything.

Well documented reporting about abuses committed by a particular nation-state is not a “blood libel,” and misusing Jewish history to protect the state of Israel from criticism like this is ultimately going to make people take all of Jewish history less seriously.

This is false. Every other week was “you can have no border, a border in the Irish Sea, or a border on the island of Ireland. Please pick one”.

There are going to be so many nasty ripples hitting highly salient corners of industry and daily life over the next 6-8 weeks that simply cannot be drowned out with press conferences and Fox News programming, and are increasingly likely to leave Trump’s presidency mortally wounded by Labor Day.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Some high level RISE OF SKYWALKER thoughts, upon first rewatch Every moment “Carrie Fisher” is onscreen is actively offensive John Boyega is great Incredible that you can see Oscar Isaac’s soul leave his body What the fuck is this script? The Rey Nobody stuff was great and this movie sucks

Well I hate to tell you but two of the people who screamed 'pwease quit, you old fart' at Biden died in office knowing they were terminally ill and fucking over their constituents in the process. Literally everyone else except Pelosi only quits if redistricted out.

It’s not ageist or ableist to want the most powerful people in charge of the country to have base level cognitive function. These people hold the lives and deaths of millions in their pale clammy hands

If you're past retirement age, you should not be eligible for office. Go home and be with your grandchildren, read a book.

You know, the Constitution delineates specific ages one must be in order to be elected to Federal office. We should amend the Constitution to forbid anyone over the the age of 75 from being elected. You're 74.5? Great! This is your last term.

while the Republican gerrymanders will likely not be enough to stop the democratic wave this year, we still: 1. will likely have a smaller majority, meaning we can’t nominate any 80+ reps who could die in office 2. need to retaliate for 2028 3. need to pack the court and pass DC statehood

THREAD 🧵 Last week, AOC said she doesn’t trust Marjorie Taylor Greene – a documented bigot and antisemite and Islamophobe – on what’s good for Jews or Palestinians. In a bizarre twist, a wave of left-wing figures came at AOC, but not Greene. They're telling on themselves.

this sets of the vehement anti-monarchist buried deep inside me

The greatest forum argument, "Is Britain part of Europe?" was closed after 950 years and 435,000 posts. The "No" position won with 52% of the posts.

"Honey, I regret to inform you that our continent is the ancient capital of new and innovative forms of murder" This is Chinese history erasure.

Where do they think white Americans come from?

"This is the first time Europeans did [insert massacre, ethnic cleansing, or colonial policy], which they learned from Amerikkka." This hilarity has now spread in a lot of Euro circles. Honey, I regret to inform you that our continent is the ancient capital of new and innovative forms of murder

The Russian project in Ukraine is substantially genocidal, revanchist, imperialist, murderous on a huge scale. Just a catastrophe that must be opposed

🇵🇸🇺🇦 remains the only defensible position

It's hard to catalogue all the sins Putin has inflicted, but this one - stealing children - is the one that fills me with the most fury. Fuck that fascist piece of shit.

As well as being the architect of the mass abduction programme, Maria Lvova Belova is married to a sanctioned oligarch that funds anti abortion & anti lgbtq rights activity and pushes far right disinformation and conspiracy vis his Tsargrad tv channel

It is a clearly genocidal act

Article II In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Also as a reminder for almost every single 'they'd never accept this from white people' take with a certain other issue, Russia shows ya, they do actually accept it. Literally everything Israel does in Gaza is how Russia wages its wars, it's just not seen as a crime when Russians do it.

Any scum that denies or excuses this with “le Putin has reasonable security concerns“ is a fascist,no better than a Neo Nazi and should be treated as such

I've had some tankies get very mad at me for pointing this out when I tell them that you can't support Palestinian liberation *and* Russia's invasion of Ukraine while having a coherent worldview.

A lot of people don't seem to know this but the Genocide Convention does not require a single person to have been killed for it to have been violated.

The United States and Canada have been doing this to indigenous children since their inception...and its still happening. I hope the people outraged by what Russia is doing to Ukrainian children will also fight to end the ongoing genocide happening in the US and Canada

I very much appreciate when big accounts who mostly talk about other stuff draw attention to Ukraine, which has faded so much in the public conversation.

Russian genocide in Ukraine looks more like forced adoptions than Rafah but it is genocide nonetheless

I do not think it is ageism to point out that a slim congressional majority will be at risk if we nominate a bunch of representatives in their 80s and 90s
