The IDF fluffed its reputation fighting sixth-rate armies where the soldiers not shooting their own dicks off with loaded guns because they didn't know how the safety worked is peak performance. People have always mistaken it for something it isn't, and *that* is why the Liberty incident happened.

Everything about the USS Liberty Incident was the result of sloppy Israeli planning and staff work. It wasn't a conspiracy, it wasn't a plot. The IDF was (and still is) an unprofessional military.

Eat shit, Adam

Well now we see how Mamdani fares in the task that Bass and Frey dismally failed in. And it's also transparently clear that buttering up the fascist, a thing every other Dem who does it gets bashed from Hell to high water, didn't work for him either. Nobody on this site'll care though.

“Maybe Something Beautiful Will Happen Today” - @utopia-defer.red

It's cool how no matter how low Trump's approval gets, the story always quotes someone in Boogerfuck Indiana who loves him. You never hear from the growing majority of people who hate his guts for some reason, I guess they're just not interesting

EVERY single major medical org in the US supports trans rights and trans-affirming healthcare, INCLUDING FOR CHILDREN. INCLUDING THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS. #Trans rights includes trans rights for trans kids. bsky.app/profile/moxi...

The fact that a self-proclaimed "modern" country can go back this quickly on a civil rights issue without becoming a pariah state is a very dangerous sign indeed. Similar future changes could easily target any other vulnerable group, and some have.  (Notably immigrants and ethnic minorities.)

Biden/Harris forgave OVER $100 BILLION in student debt and I can recall only a couple stories with the framing, "Here are five hard-working, salt of the earth, teachers / social workers, veterans who now can afford a home, start a biz, cure their cancer, etc. It's like it DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Shout this louder. #Trans rights are human rights. Trans people— INCLUDING TRANS KIDS— deserve the right to self-determination. bsky.app/profile/assi...

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate. We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.

It's really only condemned and a war crime for Israel, everyone else gets a blank check to do it.

New York if you don't boo this man out of the stadium it'll be the biggest aura loss of 2026

The Prattfall, dodgers doing well, no cultural appropriation discourse…it’s all coming up LA baby.

A real page on the White House website

50 people have died in detention since Trump returned to office. And tens of thousands more are languishing in these facilities each night, living under horrific conditions and medical neglect. We cannot allow another cent to go to these for profit, immigration prisons.

Is it a coincidence that it’s always dudes who have never had a real job their entire life talk like this?

It's frustrating because if you asked him, "but why would you feel required to fight in a war"? It would relate back to women, protecting women, etc etc, all notably things women do not actually demand or ask of men anytime in like, the last century.

just an insane amount of stolen valor here from Zaid Jiliani but I’m sure he could manage at least one of these things if he put his mind to it

This is bad but there's an obvious solution: create a statewide prosecution office that can take these cases and fund a properly professionalized statewide police force that can carry out law enforcement directly when local cops refuse. At worst, it's one state constitutional referendum away.

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse but “you’re doing cultural appropriation” is such a funny/insane thing to say about a place where literally none of the culture is not on some level easily traceable to origins from elsewhere.

When you put it that way…

The fact that they're doing this even when the US govt's pursuing an exceptionally friendly policy toward them is proof we need to lay down the law. Make lists of suspected spies & war criminals & go full nuclear sanctions on them. Destroy the Israeli financial system when it fails to comply.

In terms of Russian rulers this makes him a disaster on par with Ivan the Terrible, except that Ivan's Russia was actually more formidable within and without its own territory (and without, at least, wasn't really that formidable).

It's also a gender thing. Their main strategy is attacking him as not manly enough. Normally, having a past history of romantic (and presumably sexual) partners would not be seen as scandalous for a man. But he's being treated as a woman. So they're slut shaming him.

A progressive replacing the last Senator was how we got Fetterman in the first place.

His Russia was always playing with an immensely weak hand hoping nothing would puncture the balloon. An old-style interstate war of conquest in Ukraine is precisely the kind of balloon puncture that exposed Russia as what it actually was, not what it pretended to be.

"Being discriminatory and unwelcoming is shitty but so is denying and not respecting cultural difference! You see, you call it a 'corner store,' but here, we call it a 'bodega'"

I keep thinking “aren’t you the same people who kept calling me a murderer for voting for Kamala Harris?”

I mean Idi Amin, Turkmenbashi, and Emperor Commodus of Rome are people who very much did exist and work with this exact same template.

Authoritarian regimes have usually used World Cups as a sportswashing opportunity to put on a good show for global audiences. But the Trump administration's message during this World Cup is: We are highly dedicated racists, nothing will get in the way of this, and you should not try to come here

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

Platner stans: "But she old, tho. And she defended those icky trans people, we are endorsing our emotional support Nazi to get away from that."

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

Hey, a world of advice from Poland here. That tatoo is as much a Natzi sign as swastika if not worse since it is a symbol of SS. You know, that SS that murdered a big part IN MURDERING 6 MILIONS IF MY COUNTRYMEN And he had gotten it tattooed in one of few places in Europe that truly liked natzis.

There was literally an entire documentary about the Chinese community along the Mississippi Delta and the director, Dolly Li, was hired to be a consultant on Sinners, but sure: youtu.be/2NMrqGHr5zE?...

"Republicans don't exist if you're a good little girl and click your heels twice and say the magic formula. Yes I am an adult on paper who can think like one, why do you ask?"

Unfortunately, I think they are deeply hypocritical and inconsistent. So this won't stop them. It does mean that we are obligated to never take them seriously. We can't let them get away with this because it allows them to jerk us around without meaningfully contributing to success*.

How can they criticize, say, Rahm Emanuel when, sure he tried to cover up the Laquan McDonald shooting but he did it in the *past,* you guys, when he was *younger*

But I thought it was super important to win Maine so we have a shot at the Senate?? Now you’re saying you want King to retire? How does that help us win the Senate, exactly?

How's supporting Trump winning to teach Biden and Harris a lesson working out for trans rights? We winning yet?

Have Platner fans realized yet they can never criticize any candidate or politician ever again? They did a bad thing? “That was in the past, they’ve grown!” They supported awful policy? “They’ve changed! They said so!” They’re abusive? “Well we HAVE to win so that’s okay.”

What's truly "hilarious" (in a sad, pathetic way) to me is how many people actually think BERNIE is Progressive. He's not. He's Left-Populist. He rarely ranked in the top ten most progressive senators in the Senate (usually sitting at #11). I mean come on.

Biden/Harris was the most progressive administration this country has seen since at least LBJ and probably ever. Harris was routinely ranked as #1 or #2 most progressive Senators while serving in the Senate. Biden/Harris pushed through a laundry-list of progressive legislation and got zero credit.

Literally 3 other actual qualified candidates other than unemployed unqualified Nazi tatt boy who thinks SA is hilarious (and apparently a training tactic), which is why he’s everywhere as he’s funded by his millionaire parents and out of state tech bros (guess why).

The other equally related weird niche thing on Facebook is a bunch of clearly AI bullshit profiles that do Mexican irredentism and show signs of being AI-made. Every six to eight weeks they swarm the algorithm and then vanish.
