Great post from Baker. This is why the EU says it's okay for Ukrainians to die. We need peace.

Sarkozy Is extraordinary, because Western countries generally believe in monarchs who are exempt from the law. It's great to see this happen in France, where the current monarch is hanging on for dear life. apnews.com/article/fran...

How about ending tariffs and using some of the budget for war (a trillion dollars) to fund those programs? We don't need more money, we need to change the way that we spend what we have.

Too little and far too late. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

The letter is signed by people who work (or have recently worked) for Disney. They need to say no more. They won't work now or again for Disney, unless this censorship is reversed. share.google/iWaxlopocTX9...

I think Silver's original idea, a shutdown to show that we're living in a neo-fascist state, and not about a single issue, is the right play. Voters want leaders who say that the status quo cannot work.

Note the careful responses of media organizations. Why is our media willing to kowtow to the fascists? Why don't they refuse to cover every tweet from the regime? Why not boycott press conferences? Why not write anonymously in order to protect reporters from persecution? apnews.com/article/pent...

Right. Expand the tent means move further right. These are the people who welcomed Cheney and disdained Palestinians. These are the supporters of genocide. The voters who passed the biggest military budget for Biden. It means let anyone in the tent, except for the left.

A waste of time for @premthakker.bsky.social and @zeteo.com. Stop repeating that the fascists are hypocrites. That's the least of their guilt. Call for action against Disney. Writers and performers and directors must refuse to work for the company until it reverses its decision. Solidarity forever.

Stop responding to @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social as if he is somehow worth reading or hearing. Klein is a Democratic Party propagandist, which is why he writes for that Party's in-house paper, the NY Times. Like most liberal Democrats, he's more afraid of the left than he is of the right.

Every liberal Democrat should read this, whether a writer or not. And every Boomer should read this, and see our failed generation in its light. We who joined A. Philip Randolph in Washington in 1963, who marched against war in the late 60s and early 70s...we have taken the world's power and wealth

Why is the Democratic Party still led by @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov (a genocide supporter)? Why does anyone in the party think people will vote for Republican-lite?

How is it possible that any Democrat voted for this resolution praising a racist misogynist? apnews.com/article/char...

That Macron refuses to step down or hold new elections tells you everything you need to know about this strongman. He's no more the head of a democracy than is Trump. Indeed, the West is floundering under the weight of pompous leaders who only know how to support capitalists at all costs.

When the Hollywood actors and writers unions thought it was important, they went on strike and shut down the industry. Why isn't this fascist suppression of Jimmy Kimmel important enough to warrant another strike? Close down Hollywood.

Again, no mention here of the hypocrisy of banning Russian artists who aren't sufficiently anti their own country. share.google/F3nTSr5WZUZX...

@vijayprashad.bsky.social explains the difference between the liberals and the right wing...and the sameness as well: thetricontinental.org/newsletteris...

Again and again: Democrats don't fear the right wing or the Republican Party nearly as much as they fear leftists. It's why they were able to support Biden and Clinton over Sanders. It's why they support trillion dollar defense budgets, sanctions that kill millions, and wars that kill millions more

Tragically, it doesn't matter. Quibbling over the word genocide is a red herring. Israel is performing an ethnic cleansing. They're committing mass murder of thousands upon thousands of people. And the United States is actively participating in that ethnic cleansing. And our politicians are

There’s nothing wrong with this Charlie Kirk post other than the firm’s ongoing litigation.

Note that all the Biden lovers will look away: his sanctions killed people.

But why isn't Jeffries saying that conservative foundations do it more?

Everyone is silent. The silence is deafening.

Where are the Democrats? Where are they speaking in the House and the Senate? Where are they saying that Kirk was an evil hater of people who didn't look like him, and that we must be allowed to say that without fear? Where are they saying that we are not at war with Venezuela and have no right to

Hochul couldn't possible have endorsed Cuomo or Adams, so her choice really comes down to Mamdani or no one. So not surprising that she is reluctantly endorsing the current favorite.

Lula articulates with intelligence, respect, understanding, and strength of conviction. What wouldn't Americans give for such a leader? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

This is just tripe. When Rotterdam welcomes performances by Russian artists, it will become more than that. share.google/A2ZAVvqSUEhL...

Great piece from Marcetic on the insanity of the liberals now praising the despicable Charlie Kirk (see Ezra Klein). As always, it's wrong to kill anyone, including Kirk. It's also wrong to pretend that Kirk was a good human being. jacobin.com/2025/09/kirk...

This is the only form of diplomacy that the deeply myopic members of Congress can see. It is meaningless. Reminds me of Don Ameche at the end of Trading Places (youtu.be/WPZn4rbiB8g?...)

The Times begins to let in the light, no matter how tightly shut they want to keep their eyes. Brazil and China are leading the way out of the world's darkness. BRICS and the SCO and now this bilateral relationship show the world that it does not need to fear the US, which is full of bluster and

The answer to 3 is that Biden would have been forgiven too. Which is how he managed to remain president long after his senile incompetence was obvious to everyone.

Note the incredible hypocrisy. Those who object to the banning of a genocide supporter have no problem with the banning of Russian performers. You can't have it both ways. Artists should be permitted to perform, regardless of their political views. Or not. Decide. But be consistent.

The kind of action that must start taking place. Those of us who were around in the 50s and 60s remember a time when people took to the streets to change the evil status quo. Sadly, most of us went on to become weak kneed liberals or right wing capitalists. But we need the generations we spawned to

As always, @vijayprashad.bsky.social says profoundly moving things: substack.com/@luciddialec...

Not a surprise, considering Harris's preference for Cheney over Palestinians who opposed genocide.

A pathetic article from the newspaper that simply will not face reality, preferring to cheerlead and propagandize for its wish that the neoliberal capitalists could stay in power forever. They can't. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

More from the great freedom of speech loving West. Every censored artist, every time an athlete from Russia isn't allowed to have his flag next to his name, the West's hypocrisy and faux-morality is on show for everyone to see. greekreporter.com/2025/09/11/g...

It is impossible to understand the support Trump gets from women. He received 53% of white women votes in 2024.

A lesson in the Western media art of propaganda. Under the label of 'World News' and called 'a report', this is nothing less than incitement to war. As usual, it cites 'experts', a word that actually defines people who make their living from sounding alarms about bogeymen they hate.

Keep in mind that the massive military budget is supported by both parties. Biden and Trump were always aligned on this.

Thank goodness all you moral high ground supporters of war against every country you deem not to have freedom of speech live in such great countries as the UK. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/a...

Imagine a Supreme Court that doesn't support a dictator? If only the US had such a court. apnews.com/article/braz...

No surprises, but perhaps fun to read confirmation of the sad backstabbing at the top of the Biden Administration. Liberal Democrats are as much to blame as anyone for propping up this evil man. Biden wasn't just a bad president (responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people).

Typical of American politicians, who ignore the supposed separation of church and state, and who have yet to have a moment of silence for a single Palestinian child who they helped kill. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

More democracy and rule of law from the EU. Von Dee Leyen, the unelected Queen of the realm wants to steal money from Russia, pretending that, if the money she already stole isn't hers under the law, she can still steal the interest. But it will all be for naught. Russia has already won the war.

Please, liberal Democrats, please remember that your beloved Obama and Biden also killed summarily, under the guise of a 'war on terror'. Remember that Obama bombed a wedding in Yemen. Do not, like Louis in Casablanca, claim you are shocked, shocked by Trump's disregard for the law. He's just doing

Reporting from the NY Times on France is laughable. It continues to pretend that Macron is still somehow legitimate, when he has lost all legitimacy. He lied to the Left in order to defeat Le Pen, then refused to appoint a Prime Minister from the most popular segment of Parliament. And he just

The so called analysis, which simply ignores Russia's claim that the drones over Poland yesterday were a mistake and that Poland was told about them. It also does not dispute Putin's assertions about Russian dominance in the war and Ukraine's losses.

The EU is bringing us closer to world war, all for the sake of trying to make its leaders more popular and its war with Russia more acceptable to a citizenry that is tired of paying for it. We must hope that cooler heads will prevail. apnews.com/article/russ...
