friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

trump saw how much you guys loved Big Boat Stuck and tried to join in by doing All Boats Stuck and now suddenly its not funny anymore? make up your minds

This is bullshit by the way - my follower count took a hit when I came to Bluesky but with the couple hundred or so that followed me here I was able to post my way back and now have more followers than I did on Twitter, where it took me years to get to 1k and I never hit 2k.

The responsibility of power leads movement leaders to make reasonable statements for the broader public rather than for performing uncompromising radicalism. This alienates the most toxic and fair-weather members of the coalition. That is a feature, not a bug.

what people like this don't understand is that the *reason* people like the deranged squirrel aren't in DSA is because we find them as unpleasant and useless as anyone else and they couldn't stick in an organization even if they tried

a unified theory of Donald Trump’s actions

completely obvious to any outside observer and literally never discussed the media is how monumentally, generationally stupid everyone in the trump administration is. their ideas are fucking stupid. as in, their brains do not work for considering complex problems. because they’re really stupid

I don't know how anyone could publish this without considering it to be the greatest indictement of institutional American journalism you could possibly imagine.

"You're gonna do so much classified shit that you aren't allowed to speak. It's technically spillage if you breathe outside of a SCIF."

You would think that the basic act of thinking “does America have a plan for this military action” would be answered somewhere around the phrases “President Donald Trump” and “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth” but that is just simply too much analysis to ask out of professional analyst Jim Bianco

Is it normal for the president of the United States to pathetically plead for the nations of the world to come bail him out of the disaster he created entirely on his own? Trump two weeks ago: woooooo!!! America!!! yeah!!! Trump today: hopefully China, France, Japan, others will be sending ships..

We also remain expected to never, ever imply that the voters themselves could conceivably be wrong or responsible for the consequences of their actions so ya kinda gotta wonder what anyone’s expecting here

>Ro Khanna discourse

It annoys me deeply that “squirrel Hitler” is a concept which is now burned into my brain. Some concepts should remain unconceived.

I remain very annoyed at the "actually everything is a war crime and every US government official is a war criminal" crowd because now that we have the actual pro-war crimes administration it's very hard to get people to understand that this is actually quite a bit different

I am now in favor of revising the Trianon Treaty specifically to make Hungary even smaller Direct rule of the Magyar lands from Bucharest

“A republic, not a democracy” was a line made up by the right-wing media as an easy hit to say that voting for the Democratic Party was fundamentally illegitimate and now we also get to have it from the left as well because the left takes its every cue from the right

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

Mayor Tomašević gives congratulations to Možemo! in-party elections winners.

Media was ushered out as they'll do presentation of autopsy report of 2023 to 2026 multiple elections campaigns.

Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister Luka Mesec and co-president of Vesna party Uroš Marcel couldn't attend in person so they sent a short video instead.

Biljana Đorđević, co-president of Serbian Green-Left Front is speaking, but in Serbian now.

EMP Thomas Waitz is giving us support tiday too. In English language too.

I forgot to write her name, Vula Tsetsi.

Co-president of European green party is also here speaking in English.

Bas Eickhout, co-president of Greens in EU parliament, is giving his speech in English

Social Democratic Party president Siniša Hajdaš Dončić is also attending Možemo! party conference. Relations between both parties warmed since last elections.

MP Sandra Benčić is speaking, mayor Tomislav Tomašević is next to her.

At Možemo! party elections on Zagreb.

this is clear-as-day proof of why honouring the enemy’s option to surrender is important

"government can't deliver so you might as well not pay into it" is nothing more than a suicide note for left and liberal governance

They don’t want (healthy) masculinity, they want to endlessly *critique* (healthy) masculinity (said of conservatism, with disdain)

Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

I also want to specify that the elite formation process in a petty tyranny isn't exactly conductive for the promotion of highly refined intellectuals and if anything smart people fall through the cracks above more often in the West

The average boomer running RU is genuinely nuts and rotted their brains on culture wars. The average guy running the IR is not much more behind, only protected by lower English proficiency. The average guy running China is genuinely a boomer who stans Ronald Reagan

You don't want to know what US news the people running the IR watch. Its not MSNBC or even CNN A few months ago they had Tucker on to speak with the president. They watch Rogan and slop podcasts like all the rest

With all great respect but deep sadness I must inform you that everyone, everywhere, is a cretin

Its funny how much we agonized over Irans ability to wage asymmetric warfare and then our idiot on chief just said “shaheds are only hard to deal with because of DEI”

I am getting some shit for this post, so let me be a little clearer: No one in the world is qualified to be the US president, a job which briefly turns you into the world's only living god. There are a handful of jobs you can have beforehand that approximate such power. Ike held two of them.

The biggest liberal media figures are currently engaged in selling the Iran war alongside the architects of the Gaza genocide and saying wildly racist/islamophobic things in the process (John Stewart)

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN

Trump: "I'm gonna fuck shit up" ... Trump haters: "He's gonna fuck shit up" ... Trump fans: "HE is gonna FUCK SHIT UP!!!" ... Trump fucks shit up U.S. media and experts:

“Whether killing children or saving them, America bad”

It’s a mirror image of the Cold Warriors furious that the USSR was administering cheaper and easier polio vaccines as some kind of commie conspiracy
