France and Germany are part of a shared civilisation but it didn't stop them from going to war with each other four times between 1800 and 1950

Sanchez is not an idealist dreamer. He's focused on the world that all this defence spending is meant to achieve, and he's arguing for a hard prioritization bsky.app/profile/fber...

In the rush to prioritise defence spending and economic growth, this is what's missing What sort of world are we trying to build? What is the economic growth for? What are we defending? If we put all our eggs into the means basket, we risk forgetting the ends we're actually trying to achieve

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Is your 401(k) invested in #CXW, which warehouses human beings for profit? Here are the 10 funds with the most shares—and, more importantly, the 11 with the largest CXW % allocation. (See how CXW is ~0% of the Vanguard Total Mkt fund, though it has the No. 2 stake—because that fund is so massive.)

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Between the feds cutting student grants in half and Ontario - which makes up something like 60% of the non-Quebec Canada Student Financial Assistance Plan "zone" cutting them by 60-70%, I am pretty sure we will be talking a lot more about student debt in 2030 than we have at any time since 1998.

⚡️Rubio skips Ukraine meeting with European leaders at Munich conference. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio skipped a Ukraine meeting at the Munich Security Conference, raising concerns among European officials amid broader transatlantic tensions, the Financial Times reported Feb. 13.

A really, really funny spin on the longstanding complaint that American companies taking their manufacturing to China would be forced to partner with local Chinese firms. (And then the Americans would accuse the Chinese firms of intellectual property theft.)

If this happens, the first thing Chinese will do is ban four-down football. No more Superbowl! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This was one of the biggest mistakes of the environmental movement, framing fighting climate as inherently sacrificial. EVs are better vehicles than gas cars, I love every day I can ride a bike or walk to work, heat pumps heat & cool, video conferencing give us our time back, etc.

Where are the small govt Republicans? It was all a lie.

Nothing demonstrates the broad damage being made by Trump's White House like environmental issues. Only concerned with removing barriers to his narrow interests while unwilling to recognize & be responsible about the costs imposed on the world by his decisions.

Not only did Trump lose the 2016 popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, once he was in office he launched a massive "voter fraud" investigation to prove that he'd *actually* won the popular vote by several million and then they didn't find a thing and quietly disbanded it.

Look at this dirty old whore, wearing too much makeup, willing to do anything for a dollar. Donald Trump wants your child's air & water to be as polluted as his own soul & colon.

Breaking: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Feds open criminal probe into whether ICE officers lied about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.

He isn't looking out for Ukraine. He's looking for side deals to enrich himself. He's always been a disgusting waste but always for sale.

Why do we still care what he says? Is Ukraine getting anything from the US since this hobgoblin became president?

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was a member of the "Epstein club" and had a vulgar, intimate correspendence with him for years. Till a few hours ago, he ran the company that operates container terminals all over Canada and is in on the PM's prized Contrecoeur port project. thelogic.co/news/dp-worl...

I see that Elbridge Colby spoke at the Nato defence ministerial and said nice things about article 5. Too bad his words mean squat. Trump has no credibility so the euro defence spending must focus not on pandering to the US but hedging against its departure. How big will the US pullout be?
