"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

My guess is that Israel will also start bombing Iranian hospitals and universities, "in self-defense". Gaza was a blueprint.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Johnson does his typical "I haven't heard about it" shtick.

Only the US Congress has the power to declare war. Trump doesn't care about that, and the Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to him.

Football question: will there be another player like Lionel Messi within the next 30 years?

If Eze played every game like how he plays against Tottenham, we'd have clinched the title by now. #TOTARS

Of course CBS would now be spreading and lending credibility to racist conspiracy theories. Bari Weiss is doing all she can to impress Trump.

Vibe coding = technical debt, but starring AI.

The UN has called the horrors in Sudan ‘hallmarks of genocide,’ with thousands brutalised and killed. The UK cannot continue to fail our legal and moral obligations to prevent genocide - we must act to prevent further atrocities and to hold those responsible to account.

I'm fully at that age where there are often grown adults who refer to me as "sir". I'm now one of the people young me used to call old people.

I've yet to encounter a single story that would make me think EVEN ONE member of ICE is a decent human being.

As much as I really love Arsenal, it feels like the team is lacking the mentality to lock this season up. So much unnecessary pressure on ourselves now.

In most civilized countries, children can't be locked up for prolonged periods without committing the most heinous crimes. Trump and his government just does it for fun.

Rest in power Rev Jackson. Thank you for all that you spent your life fighting for. May your memory be a blessing. share.google/M8gqKlz1RcSa...

A lot of food prices were bothering me and I finally found a way to rationalize them. I just have to remember that what was reasonable for $10 in 2010, is very reasonable at $15 today.

They'll often talk about shared ancestry and shared religions, but everyone knows they aren't including groups like African-American Christians, who typically share both. They just don't want to say "white" too clearly.

That this is the nonsense that Thomas Chatterton-Williams comes up with is not surprising. What's surprising is that mainstream media continues to platform it and praise him as some insightful writer.

This story is not surprising to a lot of us but also hugely important, especially for 🔭 because this is who the space sciences are being handed to 🧪 "Musk’s posts repeatedly echoed prominent white supremacist narratives and ideologies"

Attraction is a funny thing, because I swear I can't understand what women find attractive about men. I still don't even know why my wife liked me.

Modern day concentration camps.

Waltz believes in the inherent humanity of people regardless of their immigration status, while Wallace believed the inherent subhumanity of those racialized differently. But their last names both start with a W though.

My son has gained so much from having a black student organization at his school. He's become more comfortable in his skin and gained opportunities for developing leadership skills. People miss how powerful it is to be told that you're beautiful as you are, in a world that calls you less than.

What a terrible way to treat someone who risked their life and limbs to protect America. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Let's go Tottenham! Please get it done. 🙏🏿 from every Arsenal fan. #TOTMCI

I remember how even some on the left so proudly and "bravely" signed their names as being strongly against the great threat -- of people being too uncivil with those they disagree with.

My 11 year old daughter: "when I grow up, I want to find a husband like you." I cannot overstate how moving that felt to hear.

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, and not fascism, were the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right."

Conservatives usually strongly defend the 2nd amendment, and we'll see how many of them are willing to defend their supposed principles now with Trump attacking it.

I remember how strongly Israel denied bombing that hospital, then proceeded to bomb every other hospital in Gaza as well. They continue to kill Palestinian civilians without consequence.

The Canadian Prime Minister stood up more strongly for "American values" than most of America's national political figures.

Trump's Gestapo murdered a white woman on video, told everyone their eyes were lying to them, and then proved that there's no consequences they would face for it. After that, they have almost nothing to fear anymore.

There's so much wrong in this video, even beyond the unjustifiable execution. The system isn't designed to counter a malevolent federal government.

It really bothers me that people like this, with a clear unwillingness to read even basic documented history, get to have large platforms that influence the thoughts of millions.

To suggest that people need dictators is to imply that the people need less freedom. Trump is the opposite of the claimed ideals America was founded on.

The incredible ability of people in power to disable their critical thinking skills remains unmatched.

It's terrible when you think you're getting over a cold, and then an hour of strenuous activity reminds you that you're nowhere close to getting over it.

www.cnbc.com/2026/01/17/t... If Trump were to militarily attack Greenland, Europe would have to respond. At that point, it would be logical for China and Russia to engage. There's a legitimate risk of a world war if Trump isn't contained.

That's a pretty good deal honestly.

This cartoon is really good and creative.

I'm happy with the Arsenal result against Portsmouth so far, but I'm surprised at how anonymous Eze has been even in his preferred position. #facup

I struggle to think of even one Reactionary Centrist who doesn't regularly fit this pattern. The only grace I can grant: maybe we apply that label to the people who do exactly this, rather than it being a self-labeled group that then ends up acting this way.

Post the feudal age, the societal bargain was that the highest of the upper classes got to enjoy the benefits of great wealth, so long as the lower classes still felt their lives improving. The biggest benefit to the upper classes has been safety from the masses. That bargain is weakening today.

American police have a tendency of unreasonably putting themselves in positions where shooting people can be justified.

I'm hyping myself up to buy tickets to an Arsenal game and fly over there. I've been a fan for 20 years, and this may just be the season.

There's little chance the next Republican President will choose to give up Presidential power and return to typical norms. The American experiment with democracy is dying without much of a whimper. Only a question now of where things will end up.

In speaking to the United Nations, the Trump administration is sending a clear message to everyone in the Western Hemisphere that unless Trump approves of your leaders and alliances, then he reserves the right to overthrow your government. usun.usmission.gov/remarks-at-a...

Chelsea played terribly today and Manchester City still let them draw the game. I hope they continue to make these kinds of mistakes. #MCICHE

If the US Congress doesn't stop this, nowhere is safe. Not in other countries, and not in America either.

He's just stating it out loud, knowing that there will be no consequences. All the world can do is cower and hope that enough powerful people in America still believe in a rights based global order. But I'm not hopeful.
