Not letting conservatives off the hook. MAGA Is their baby. Since at least the 90s when they ended the welfare state and Cold War. They had no other big project besides the destruction of liberalism itself.

Republicans are obsessed with sex. Now you know why the majority of sex crimes by politicians are committed by Republicans. 😳🤬🤷‍♂️ www.rawstory.com/republicans-...

We will probably have to rewrite the rules of war because of drones. There are some really tough questions we have to confront. Like, "Can a soldier surrender to a drone?"

The Importance of Being Gay! Check me out in this glorious gay revelation of a Victorian comedy classic! NYC, first three Fridays and Saturdays in February at 5 and 7pm on 44th off 9th!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What’s the difference between the Social Gospel and Liberation Theology? Is it just a Protestant vs Catholic thing?

Favorite and least favorite philosophers, living and dead? For me: Most: Francis Fukuyama, gotta read Camus | Least: Samuel Huntington, Christian Romantic Mystics like Kierkegaard.

The whole agency is designed for dudes who obsess about the military and war but are too afraid to enlist.

It’s the same arguments Cons make about the UN Human Rights Council. Damn these hypocrites!

Britain, France, and Russia, should all lose their permanent U.N security council seats. Replaced by a permanent seat for the E.U on the security council. Also, South Africa, Algeria, Brazil, and India, should be given permanent seats on the security council. That's how I would change it.

People who derided the international order as a fiction, will soon come to miss that fiction.

Yes. And many Americans do not even seem to realise this. With every day the Epstein files are not released, the government breaks the law, and having a lawless government becomes just the new normal.

What Putin did, only dumber.

This graph is a perfect illustration for why tariffs don't work. The U.S ended up with higher prices, the rest of the world moved on to new trade deals to continue stable prices.

There is no basis to talk about a decrease in repression in #Belarus - the situation is getting worse. Even the release of some political prisoners doesn't mean less pressure: dismissals, workplace coercion & "social risk" labeling are repression 👉 Belarusian Helsinki Committee

Full EU membership should be put to the public at the next election. It's time to return home. inews.co.uk/opinion/rejo...

As part of the E.U-Australia trade deal we should declare Orbán a criminal, and deport him to Australia.

Stephen Miller's calmest press conference performance.

Mao may have thought that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. But for 21st century China, political power could come from solar panels.

The most frustrating thing about the emerging Chinese dominance in the renewable energy sectors, is that this could have been the West. Specifically the U.S. This is where Obama was steering the U.S towards. And Trump butchered it. For no good reason.

It's going to get really fucking ugly once the Saudis run out of money and people to sell their oil to. The capacity to produce enough food for 5 million people, in a country of 36 million. Not much of an economy. Lots of weapons. Lots of grudges. Saudi Arabia will be the next Congo.

@morefreedom.bsky.social Hmmmmm….

I think it will be good for the Middle East when it's centres of culture, learning, ideas, and politics, are Damascus, Cairo, and Baghdad again. Instead of Riyadh, Doha, and Dubai.

My greatest hear me out, a massive university in Baghdad build along the lines of the Abbasid House of Wisdom. The instability of the past half a century has robbed the Arab world of its traditional centres of progress. Hoping and praying that someday things will improve!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I finally got the books about the abuse of psychiatry by communist regimes. How communists defined those who disagree with them as mentally ill to lock them away in asylums, and how they abused knowledge of mental illness to terrorise mentally ill opponents by deliberately worsening their conditions

Whenever someone in the MAGA movement "diagnoses" those who disagree with them as having "Trump derangement syndrome" it certainly gives me Soviet psychiatry vibes.

Those who claimed a U.S economic isolationism would be the end of a global economy were simply wrong. The global economy just moved on without the U.S.

I am really fucking sick of these types of articles. "Akshually, inside Russia, knitting pink labubu scarfs is the real resistance" After 4 years of Russian non-resistance, and watching the Iranians rise up twice, shit like this is almost insulting.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

I just feel like a trolley is far too cute a mode of transportation for the trolley problem.

I am pretty sure most of you know that there was a sabotage attack on the Berlin electricity grid, that was very likely done by Russian intelligence services. What's interesting is how that entire and highly important angle to the story is lost in the right-wing dominated social media space.

I freely admit I have a VERY strange sane of humor and this is not good taste. If we’re doing the 2000s on steroids, our #resistance #humor should reflect that! Inspired by @frankfukuyama.bsky.social @derparrot.bsky.social @tadstoermer.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/WymJf...

Every single asshole who sang condescending songs about how amazing a multipolar world order will be in 2022, should be bludgeoned to death with this one

Actually, this is the "Golden Circle" The "Golden circle" was a 19th century geopolitical idea proposed by slaver states in the U.S, to conquer and annex the entire Gulf of Mexico, to create a "circle" of slave plantation states to dominate the Americas.

We can just kidnap heads of state now.

@tadstoermer.bsky.social @morefreedom.bsky.social You guys need to talk to each other! You’re both amazing authors and video-makers. Tad is a scholar of the American Revolution. MoreFreedom is a scholar of American Empire. youtube.com/@mofreedomfo... youtube.com/@tad.stoerme...

I love this painting. There's such a hidden story there. Is the painter being annoying? Is the painting meant to be put above the snack drawer her already chunky husband keeps raiding? Or is she judging us through the mists of time? Marco Basaiti - Portrait of a Lady early 1500

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela. If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

If this man becomes President of the United States one day, things will be even worse than they are now

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”
