*prices, point stands.

I do think that this is the end-point of the section of the DC pop (which includes me) that got Jokerfied on people voting for Trump to bring back 2019 taxes.

However, they have leaned into it.

Minnesotans deserve restitution from ICE's terror campaign.

The ICE surge cost Minneapolis $200 million in just one month. That’s before overtime, charter flights, and detention contracts.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize their own trauma.

I think that since the Gulf Crisis during Trump I, they developed the reflex to state stuff like this.

The thing is: four months is frankly not that long.

Busting to the fucking Indiana Jones theme.

Actually insane. Actual peronist politics. Republicans will beat you on taxes every single time and this literally runs against everything else you stand for. It’s fucking moronic. Taking up a debt jubilee/forgiveness platform would be much less stupid and is actually politically strategic.

Guess it didn't well, Bru.

So, hear me out on this: what if @sky.skymarchini.net is right, and Mojtaba Khamenei is really fucking nuts.

Their goal is to make you as stupid and aimless as possible, an empty-headed bipedal piece of meat that will accept anything that it's told, so they can enslave you.

There are no end goals. There are not even concepts of goals.

Absolutely no one signs up to die, but in a country w essentially no social safety net whatsoever, the military dangles healthcare & college tuition to attract recruits from the poorest & most marginalized communities in the country. Just another articulation of the kleptocratic killing machine.

If either state lived up to their nominal founding ideals, who they played for would be ideologically relevant but the U.S. government is hostile to liberalism and the PRC are closer to Reagan's McWorld with red paint than Marx's utopia, so I just hope both girls stay safe and have fun careers.

Fun fact: Tim Walz has not gone along with sports betting. Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, even at tribal casinos.

I think if we're going in to Iran we should count Iran/Iraq and call it the fourth gulf war

A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:”

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

The sign up to serve, not to die you cruel hag.

The Southie IRGC recruit was killed in a hand-to-hand with the West Virginian Baathist coal-miner during the Karbala III Offensive in 1986.

We are in a phase of American experience where we are unable to apply the hard-learned lessons of the past to any facet of our lives.

We all know you will finally nail it down right.

Verhoeven was too tasteful.

Mostafa Chamran - Wikipedia

Not the great Satan, but the French got hit along with the Americans in Beirut in 1982.

That was obviously over four decades ago, but maybe the new Khamenei is into some worldview popular with a cadre of people who were all dead by 1981.

Best example is prbably Mostafa Chamran.

I think we are looking at 1905 with those mine sweepers.

They don’t and it all goes into several best selling books by future historians about the mismanagement of the DoD prior to World War III.

A future Congress will look back at ~$700B in federal loans going to the defense industrial base & nothing meaningful happening for readiness because:

the Biden team didn’t understand industry,

the Trump team doesn’t understand war,

& no one in power wants to point at a “Home - 0” scoreboard.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

this is true but like, i think if you're in zoomer spaces you have definitely seen an uptick in anti-semitism on gen z platforms in my experience

This is a major aspect of fascism

i uh. do not want to see this lady politics if the Iran War gets prolonged

Would love to see a well-resourced investigation of the supply chains here.

this is what “anti-system politics” becomes in the absence of an organized opposition
