Cory Booker is sort of like Zohran Mamdani if Zohran had the politics of Bill Clinton but still wanted to make you think he was Zohran Mamdani, so you end up with big bold proposals that don’t really do anything and are stupid

I hope you like the welfare state we have, because we're never going to be taxing people higher than we are now.

your average r/stocks poster now has "William T Sherman didn't go far enough" as a baseline, things are going Well for capitalism I see

Probably the worst part of the oil rain in Tehran is that so many people's barrels and rain collectors are contaminated now

Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.

for those unaware, this would be perfidy, explicitly prohibited by the 1907 Hague convention and 1977 protocol to the Geneva conventions as war crimes; these (particularly The Hague convention) are customary international law and thus binding on Israel

In 1976, conservative economics professor Phil Gramm challenged Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) from his right in the primary. Gramm would lose, be elected as a Democratic Congressman, switch parties in office, and then serve in the state's other seat alongside Bentsen as a Republican Senator.

Tapper's uncontrollable urge to fuck anything with the American flag on it is a medical condition and should be treated with sympathy and pity, but in no way encouraged.

stream chat informed me of this new incredible wojak

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

Literally the second ever UN resolution was to tell the Soviets to knock it off with supporting Kurdish separatists in Northern Iran

Iranian Kurds, in contact with CIA now in Iraq, are poised to cross to Iran in next few days. Masoud Barzani no longer opposed.-al Monitor

No, *your* flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore. My flag decal, with the pistols and the Punisher skull on it, totally slaps ass and the man standing at the Pearly Gates will recognize that.

Powerful... but what does it mean...

This is the first American submarine kill since WW2 but the fourth overall; the Pakistani submarine Hangor sunk the INS Khukri in the 1971 war off Gujarat, the HMS Conqueror sunk the ARA General Belgrano in the Falklands, and a North Korean submarine probably sunk the ROKS Cheonan in 2010.

As usual:

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

don't think there's a better encapsulation of everything wrong with "working class politics" that a literal petit-borgeois business owner is somehow universally viewed as blue collar because he's a white guy with a few slurs under his belt

Don't want to unfairly dunk on this guy, because pro-Eisenhower propaganda has convinced people that he was George McGovern with an R next to his name, but Eisenhower was an awful President for anyone who considers themselves a friend of progress, and in this thread, I'll cover why. 🧵

Dang man, guess Eisenhower really loved stealing from the hungry, unfed, cold, and unclothed because look at the period between the lines on this chart.

Eisenhower presidency really is one of the all time historiographic Houdinis

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

"No more forever wars" is fine enough rhetoric but the fact is that voters don't like "forever wars" because it makes emotionally distressing tiktoks/footage on CNN, not because they really care about the consequences of US FP decisions, which is why Biden ending a forever war destroyed him in part.

"These criticisms (if they even merit that term) are narrow, tactical, and counter-productive. They imagine that a reasonable, justifiable war with Iran exists somewhere in space, waiting to be articulated." www.liberalcurrents.com/feeble-criti...

Chris Van Hollen's speech at J-Street today very much pushes forward the idea that he is running for president.

I was prepared for this to be, like, Hasan, who sucks shit but is a massive platform and thus is similar to going to Rogan or whatever, but this is just an obscure guntuber who believes in ZOG shit, basically.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

No war with Iran. Impeach, remove, and prosecute President Trump.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

America putting the 5th Fleet HQ in a Shia majority state where the population is brutally repressed by a Sunni monarchy with American arms: yeah this seems like a good place in the event of war with Iran
