It is easier to imagine mounting a 2500-man strong invasion and occupation of Kharg Island than ever telling Israel it’s time to come home from Never-Neverland and grow up.

Iran striking Dimona should have been an opportunity for the media to bring back the story of Mordechai Vanunu

We have accepted vile racism and Islamophobia against Iranians and Palestinians and Iraqis and Afghans for far too long. It has helped manufacture broad popular acceptance of the mass murder of millions in a bipartisan war and sanctions regime against 100s of millions. I will no longer accept this.

A politician who can strongly voice his opposition to Russian aggression against Ukraine on moral grounds but can only muster up weak process objections to American aggression against Iran is a racist politician

seriously this guy is using you! he's trying to get some lib foundation of the ground! stop helping!

its ok you can admit that Joe Biden is a rapist now he's not going to be president again

Stop telling the megalomaniac with unmitigated access to the world’s largest nuclear arsenal that he “always chickens out” are you people insane

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: [wearing cowboy hat that gets larger every 3 minutes] i beat the shit out of my son, which was very easy to do because children are small, and have to do what you say CROWD: [hooting, their own cowboy hats growing larger as well]

You ever notice how they're adding the same number to the numerator and denominator at the same time? Somehow there are always ~150 left

quality control like what, just to be sure they don't get better?

it is really really obvious that this is an intentional campaign for attention. It would be great if everyone just blocked him now instead of playing along!

"In less than a quarter-mile stretch of sidewalk, chatter in 57 languages overlaps with the sound of dancehall, bachata, Thai pop, Haitian kompa, and Micronesian hip-hop. At sunset, dozens gather for iftar, breaking their Ramadan fast." WOW - WHAT A PICKET LINE!

Israel kidnapped him by luring him from the UK to Italy, drugged him and then put him in solitary confinement for over a decade. Neither the UK nor Italy did anything, and to this day the vast majority of the media never mention Israel's undeclared nuclear program, let alone ask about Vanunu.

Grassroots efforts are emerging to support displaced families in Lebanon - please help fund them. This is one I trust: 'Support for families Staying in South Lebanon' 4fund.com/7s9ab7

i know a lot of liberals want immigration enforcement to return to what it was under obama (brutal, effective, mostly not publicized) but let me make a counter proposal here: go fuck yourselves, with sharp objects

Quit stalling. You better open that son of a bitch!

Whaaat Mainers like the Nazi tattoo guyyyy? But how does that fit with the proud progressive mainer tradition of voting for Olympia snowe and Susan Collins?

For context, his step brother literally works with AIPAC and is buds with Isaac Herzog and has spent his entire adult career basically worshipping Israel. I'm not saying he's an op, but 'private merc who lies constantly and has immediate ties to the president of Israel' is op ass circumstances lol

Ann Arbor is two parts college town to one part the most obnoxious rich people you'll ever meet.

There is literally no evidence that public opinion is the driving force in American politics.

iran has every reason to believe that, if they let the US out of the snare now, the americans will come calling again before too long — potentially with plans for all possible contingencies, too. iran is never going to catch the US in a conflict for which it is less prepared than it is currently

You may not like it, but there’s actually no universal consensus vis-à-vis blowing up little kids, and in fact suggesting that blowing up little kids is evil is, itself, a form of terrible violence, and furthermore naïve to say, if not outright childish. And you know what we do to children

People who post that "they don't want power, they want to endlessly critique power" quote, frequently don't even want to do anything as productive as critiquing power. they want to critique 18-year-olds in their mentions.

I don't think anyone is suggesting israel be subjected to some kind of bureaucratic de-stating procedure? more that their genocidal apartheid system should be destroyed by any means necessary. this is such an odd way to frame the issue

I really need people to stop opposing conversion "therapy" simply because it "doesn't work." Homeopathic remedies "don't work." Placebos "don't work." Conversion "therapy," by contrast, *does* work. Oh, it doesn't make you not queer or trans anymore. But it can and does kill you.

In every single instance were a socialist country liberalised it has led to poverty increasing. Capitalism is great at accumulation. It sucks at poverty reduction. It does the opposite of poverty reduction. It only ever increases poverty.

My latest proposal for how we can live in peace in the US

I have so many issues and been theu so much trauma but I have never fucking argued that I should be able to go Sweden and murder white people Yet let a white man have trauma and suddenly its okay to argue fir murdering anyone who isn't white because he 'has trauma' Fuck you

*LITERALLY* the world didn't descend into barbarity sooner, because the Soviet Union's existence forced the West to pretend that it believed in international law and human rights. Even through all the prevarications and perfidies of the cold war, that was the Bourgeoisie on their best behavior—SICK!

imagine posting an "unpopular take" and then acting surprised and offended that your take is unpopular. and still arguing a day later! unhealthy behavior just mute that shit

a trans person would search for ways to medically transition in a post apocalyptic setting, and claims that it’s not possible are pretty ridiculous considering that they have literal, operational hospitals and black markets for drugs in the setting

god I hate the democratic party

It's entirely the opposite, the Arab states by and large are the dogs of the dog.

Egypt is ran by a dimwit kleptocrat, Jordan is ran by the son of one of the dirtiest fools to ever run a statelet in the region, Syria is shattered and only just now cohering, the Lebanese have been left to the wolves, the Saudis hand the murderer the gun and then cry fake tears.

What a world we'd be living in today if the Gulf implemented an oil embargo in November 2023, but it did not do so because the massacre and extermination attempts of their brotherly nations are not as important to them as genuflecting to a rabid animal.

not going to pretend I understand this move but ok

I am really tired of having to figure out which things are actually antisemitic. I feel like an unreasonable amount of my mental energy goes to that these days. I know this is a worlds smallest violin type problem but still

those policies are identical to biden policy. this war arguably started with the israeli attacks on iran under biden

I am failing to see how anyone is supposed to figure out which is the "war in tthe middle east" party after biden

given the new rules of engagement embraced by US/isreal in this war

anyway I hope iran is considering the full range of its options

his brain is cooked and he knows he's not long for this world. I am worried the man simply has no fucks to give

this war can't end without trump accepting he just doesn't have the power to bully iran into compliance. he once was capable of recognizing a losing proposition but I fear those days are over. even a market crash might not do it

I am so sick of canadian superiority and victimhood on here. don't act like you are in the core of some whole other empire. if the US invades those are your chickens coming home to roost

this is all response to me asking (someone else!) what exactly from trump's first term would make one expect the current clusterfuck

idk if you've noticed but historically the left doesn't do a whole lot of winning. we do a lot more getting murdered

there's plenty to criticize about Lenin, Stalin, and Mao but at the end of the day they were fucking WINNERS

at least some of the people defending "zio" and "zog" are just nazis having fun. which ones? who can say! which is a big part of the problem here

seriously people think for one second who benefits from this foolishness

Every time the US and Israel hit something important in Iran it hits them back in something equally as important. This is totally new for the West. People arn't supposed to be able to fight back. How long before they learn to understand this action/reaction cycle? FAFO for the hard of understanding
