Oh this is absolutely the plan - those islands are much smaller than karg and further away from the coast. I can't stress how small these islands are, lesser tunb is like 1 square mile.

This whole "Crime as a Service" trend is really under-covered – it's widespread across Europe. Enemy intelligence agencies don't need secret agents or embedded saboteurs any more, they just need to find some idiot 16 year olds on a Discord who'll firebomb an ambulance station for pocket money

Yeah - I think this dynamic also ends up distorting the scale of the perceived harm in a way that ends up erasing meaningful distinctions between various out group threats.

Good excuse for not having your assignment done though. No teacher is gonna want to question you on this. I feel like they couldn't even. They'd go to jail.

The moment he looks out and it's appears stationary you know it's gonna be bad

Not true I've seen it, it's the same chair that you see in motel rooms.

Watching these swirl, one of the aspects that I find frustrating is you can see a distinction between people who are clearly intentional and delighting in hurting others or being dishonest and another (often larger) group who are just going along and have misplaced trust in that core group.

The ideal woman

The dumbest shit about the bullet conspiracy nonsense is that there are still like a dozen other bits of evidence that all point to this kid doing it. It's the same with every conspiracy - find one thing you think is odd and ignore everything else.

Honestly the fact there has to be a debate about this is one of the reasons I think DSA is in a weird spot. Who are you going to get that will run a credible campaign against her that will be more in agreement with your platform? Literally no one.

Here is one such fucked up thing that Piker has said that made me think he's a piece of shit bsky.app/profile/leon...

“The Anastasian worldview is a cocktail of esotericism, conspiracy theories, ecology, racism, and antisemitism. In Germany, the movement is being investigated by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). But what about in Poland?”

🚨New working paper alert! 🚨 The US spends huge $ on special education services for students with disabilities. Is that spending effective? Today we released a working paper suggesting it is. "Special Education Substantially Improves Learning: Evidence from Three States" Let me explain...

This actually gets at what has historically separated DSA from other orgs. They were explicitly anti centralist - that helped them avoid so much bullshit that you see from the new left. If DSA drops the commitment to the D part of the name what is left? SA already exists lol as does PSL, rcp,

also it's great that while trying to figure out what the IC did this time I cannot seem to find out directly without going to the website owned by the richest man in the world, who is a nazi

Qeshm as target is underpriced as a scenario

Undercover Baptist sounds like a fun basis for a TV show and honestly there are like 4 different ways you could go.

Hasan Piker is an idiot who caters to low-information leftists and Democrats who still use X. He acts like a petulant child, browbeats women and absolutely uses a shock collar on his dog. Just garbage all around.

This is why I don't ever want to hear any American MFERS talking about it's over - we are cooked etc. Dog we got 9 million into the street and in Russia they have to pretend they are all going for a walk so they don't get arrested.

Muscovites are “rebelling” over the internet shutdown, though this “protest” looks more like a walk. Still, people are already getting packed into police vans at Bolotnaya Square.

he praised the fucking Houthis and that's how you know he's got nothing in him but bullshit campism. Also as a Filipino (i.e. the people the houthis keep shooting at and trying to hold hostage are largely my countrymen) it makes me want to flip a table

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

but like, yeah man, read the turner diaries. "I don't know if The Day of the Rope is going to be substantively worse than having Hillary Clinton as President" is an absolute indictment of ur own knowledge base, not of neoliberalism. and I flatly think neoliberalism is bad and dead.

🇭🇺👀 Orban is massively buying votes in Hungary's poorest regions. This is revealed in a large-scale investigation, "The Price of a Vote," jointly conducted by six independent Hungarian projects. Party representatives are traveling to villages and offering local residents $150-$170 per vote. 1/2

Socialist symbols that are not explicit acts of identification with and affection for the Soviet Union: Red flags Three Arrows A stylised fist Roses Five-pointed stars (this one has some moral ambiguity and also just looks shit) You do not have to reach for the hammer and sickle.

Lol - submitted without comment but Brett did nail the alt text

I simply do not like the guy who says my friends should accept the boot on their necks because opposing it would advance American interests

Countries banning all teenagers from social media because "their brains aren't developed enough to handle it", meanwhile nobody's talking about the percentage of retirement-aged adults who have irreversibly cooked their fucking brains on Facebook since 2020.

This video is spreading across social media, falsely claimed to show fed-up Los Angeles residents attacking and chasing away ICE agents. It actually shows a brawl involving workers and state police at a wholesale market in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

This is straight up misinformation you can clearly see these are Mexican officials

reading through all the writings of Sam Marcy available on marxists dot org (over 1,200 pages typed out), and I guess he's just a weird dude. trotskyite who rejects Stalin but embraces the DPRK and agrees w Mao's critique of Soviet bureaucracy, but revels in crushing Prague Spring at the same time.

Then it gets wider. One post in the study, with nearly 32,000 upvotes, constructed explicit solidarity between Han Chinese men and white American men as fellow victims of ' #identity politics', with Native Americans cast as the parallel to #Tibetans.

A new peer-reviewed study documents what happens when a #Tibetan herdsman goes viral in China. The #openaccess findings go far beyond one man's fame, reaching all the way to the US far right:

🚨🚨Pierbattista Pizzaballa klaxon sounds 🚨🚨

Talarico is a good dude bc to be honest if someone wants me to be crucified I'm gonna keep it real with you - Ill think that person sucks. I guess it depends what love means. I'd provide life saving aid to anyone but actually love em? Pshhh idk man all dogs sure - but people?

I've said it before - I'll say it again - my favorite Trump appointee is Kash Patel - pound for pound the most comedy and least horror inflicted. Until valhalla brother

I told him that Ka$hMoney123 wasn't a secure password

they go to every demonstration trying to recruit people into their stupid org thats like a republican caricature of socialist organizing. larpers in ushankas who talk about fomenting the seeds of revolution by appealing to "the real"

Based off of the replies to this I don't think she's losing any votes over this. Should have been clearer with her criticism.

The Burnisher (The punisher, but for revenging stuff that isn't uhh like polished or something)

Fascinating — and gross — how Orban is trying to go back to the antisemitism well too with his back against the wall Orban famously plastered Budapest with posters showing George Soros that said “don’t let Soros have the last laugh” a decade ago Now he busts out the same exact slogan vs Zelenskyy

Looking forward to reading this. If I could make one policy recommendation to reduce mass violence in basically every context - it would be to focus on intervention for individuals with histories of domestic violence along with assistance for their victims.

This is their image re-brand tour - don't fall for this shit

There is no good argument to stay on X. It’s a foreign influence scheme for billionaires owned by a billionaire to shape world politics. Responding to jerks and arguing with them boosts their ideas to a bigger audience. Geotargeted recruitment to countries with largely white populations.

The simple reason those girls are dead is because the position that would've prevented it was RIFed in FEB 2025. It was my job at CENTCOM as the Senior Advisor for CHMR & the Civil Environment Lead to QA/QC these. I was no longer there to do it. That's why these girls are dead. 1/

Hasan is maybe the prime example of my "internet communists are just groypers with different RNG" thesis there's literally no substance to his political beliefs other than reflexive categorical opposition to liberalism, if he was born to a different family he would just be hot Asmongold

WATCH: In the first 7 months of Trump’s second term, authorities detained the parents of at least 11,000 U.S. citizen children — a number that, if the pace has held up, will have roughly doubled by now. That’s an average of more than 50 U.S. citizen kids a day with a parent pulled into detention.

This is great advice
