people will explain away the literal worst things on earth as long as they look good on a surface level. sorry to say it, but I think Chuck Schumer is a worse person than Graham Platner, and that taints every candidate he puts his fingers on the scale to help. I don’t trust them, no one should

lol. lmao. it's March.

I feel like a lot of people on this site agree with the fundamental truths that a) Gaza was and is a genocide and b) Democrats did little to nothing that did not aid Israel in its completion without realizing what that is saying about those Democrats

IMO he’s just saying this to be provocative because that’s like half of his schtick. But it’s another reminder that Piker is far more motivated by a childish politics of hating his enemies than anything morally substantive. PS The Hezbollah flag looks like bad clip art & has a gun on it. It stinks

Couldn’t disagree more. Politics is more than anything else where we determine the acceptable level of safety. There is no reason besides politics that your life is considered more valuable in a plane than in a car or walking around.

"Platner is a syncretic populist dumbass" theory much more explanatory of his behavior than "Platner is a committed anti-semite"

I feel like I've been cards on the table that while I do not support Platner and haven't since the Totenkopf revelation, I view the overthrow of the Schumer faction of the party as a matter of existential survival for the country and am thus far more motivated by anything advancing that.

Russia got itself a warm water port

adam do you ever tire of being a parasocial freak

Some billionaires get really into rockets or environmentalism or Jeffrey Epstein but Rowling's personal fixation that she throws her vast sums of money and cultural capital at is trying to legislate trans people out of existence. That's all this is about.

Why it irks me when people in these conversations focus on all the iffy content of the books, which like—sure, whatever, but it *literally does not matter*. It could be the best-written most unproblematic series in the world and it literally would not matter. The media is not the point.

People who get up in arms about this ask treat it like it's a standard Engaging With The Work Of A Bigoted Author thing like Lovecraft or Dahl and I get why but like no no this one is very different. We can have that discussion once she's dead and it no longer directly funds her hate movement.

"it's March" would usually imply "ooh they got plany of time to turn it around" but in this case we know they're locked in on a nosedive that's only just starting to hit. this ain't gonna be an election where the final week movement is *toward* the incumbent.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Antisemitism is the ur-conspiracy theory and all conspiracy theories tend toward antisemitism through a process similar to carcinization.

honestly bsky's new run of attack on Platner (that he's a dumb slopulist) is both a more compelling angle and more likely to make Mills look good in comparison

This is the first report I've received of ICE agents performing actual TSA duties. Not good.

Albanese's latest report on the systematic, ubiquitous, soul crushing, permanent torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities, soldiers & settlers is one that we can only turn our eyes away from at the price of losing what is left of our souls. END THE GENOCIDE. NOW! www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Hi! Your friendly neighborhood 82nd Airborne vet here to tell you 1,000 paratroopers is a command group+advance party and it makes no sense to send this element unless the plan is to send a fuck ton more ground troops relatively soon!

hospital wait times are too long, which is why i will implement punitive policies to discourage pharma r&d

if anything like this actually comes to fruition it is inarguable that donald trump started and comprehensively lost a war in less than a month this is an absolute body blow to the idea of american hegemony

I’m glad the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has immunity because I wouldn’t want future presidents to be deterred from showing off this sort of fun memorabilia from their time in office.

Once again, I am developing a throbbing headache due to Merrick Garland.

I don't really think your opinion on Harry Potter has any intrinsic moral valence, but c'mon, you should really not be giving Rowling money or attention if you care at all about trans rights, y'know? She's not an author with bad opinions, she's a full-time political activist who used to write books.

Policymakers really need to let go of this idea that rental housing is intrinsically inferior and homeownership needs to be considered the normative default for everyone. The policies that flow from this view inevitably end up screwing over actually existing renters.

Remembering the right-wing grifter who said this (I think) after a Buffalo Bills game got postponed because of a snow emergency

‘Our highest risk in 2026 and potentially in 2028 is the federal government trying to disrupt and undermine our elections,’ says Colorado’s secretary of state. Read: Dems Prepare for Trump to Seize Ballots and Interfere in the Midterms zeteo.com/p/trump-dems...

McMorrow internal so take with necessary caution but GSG poll has Haley Stevens' popularity dropping like a stone, which is end of the world stuff in a multi-way primary the first major casuality of the sudden shift in Democratic voter opinion on Israel/Palestine? www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

Happy fowl ball day for those who observe

Another No Kings rally, another opportunity for the Alt National Park Service to cash in. AltNPS is an engagement farming social media account that sells stickers and t-shirts. They do not have a "team tracking threats made by MAGA." Even if they did, what exactly would that team do?

Democratic socialism without a money printer is absolutely doing it on hard mode.

The thing about the leftists who are radicalized into antisemitism by their grief over Palestine is that they are so very very similar to people who are radicalized into Islamophobia by their grief over some other atrocity and they cannot see it.

Biden and most of his cabinet deserve to burn in hell

The consensus among serious, non-MAGA military thinkers from day one has been that any attempt to take Iranian territory, be it occupation or foothold, would be a bad idea. Bad ideas in military thinking are measured in body bags.

nothing to see here just a socialist and Mandela Barnes currently running first and second in the Wisconsin Dem gubernatorial primary law.marquette.edu/assets/commu...

It's an internal but a new poll has McMorrow in the lead and el-Sayed in second in the Michigan primary, same poll had Stevens in the lead last June

struggling to even think of comparisons to if Trump ends up straight giving Iran a Hormuz tollbooth. the treaty of Versailles? Pearl Harbor?

he’s gonna have these folks in fits

Please consider using the link below to tell your two senators to support the forthcoming Joint Resolutions of Disapproval against the transfer of over 27,000 bombs to Israel, and to vote for the WPRs that are brought up for a vote.

Splendid

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

and there are tens of thousands of these families

the thing about newsom is that he chronically sells out low salience liberal causes to the chagrin of the base for almost no political benefit. starmerism, basically. a guy who would have no friends or allies left 15 minutes into his presidency.

I have a feeling I'm going to keep tapping this sign for the next seven months

We can’t get boats through the strait of Hormuz, but yeah sure let’s start a permanent lunar colony. Sure there are tons of people itching to starve to death on the moon after every SpaceX supply rocket blows up
