I know itβs not βthe worstβ example, but man am I sick βEyes Wide Shutβ conspiracy theories. The movie still came out! Tom Cruise is a member of one of Americaβs largest cults known for kidnapping and isolating members they feel wronged them!
It's profoundly important whatever the disagreements between diaspora communities about shit happening over there are, we have to put those aside to fight common persecution here.
George Clooney saying Biden OLD caused more media pressure on Biden than Trump doing whatever he's doing
It's why it's very important for Palestine solidarity work to not be antisemitic and also for American Jewish institutions to STOP FUCKING ABUSING antisemitism to suppress Palestine solidarity activism, even stuff that makes them uncomfortable. Because the alternative is erasing the barrier.
βDemocrats only win if they do what I say. They wonβt so they lose. If they donβt and they win, itβs because conditions mean they couldnβt lose, but they could have won more if theyβd have done what I said, so that win is really a loss.β All of left social media, from center to fringe.
The average American is watching none of these because these are absurdly low audience numbers. We are past the era of broadcast TV monoculture. Peak Friends was regularly watched by 30M+ (pop adjusted 40M today). The Seinfeld Finale pulled 76M (pop adjusted for today that's 100M+).
This is a war where we should be rooting for the ruin of every political regime involved--MAGA, Bibi, the Ayatollahs, the slaving Gulf kleptokakistocracies.
If you think Hillary, Biden, and Harris are worse than Trump, youβre worse than Trump.
This is the sort of thing countless authoritarian and totalitarian, even Nazi, jurists said about *their* militaries, by the way.
This is how the militaries of the worst war crime committing regimes behave, not any military worthy of respect.
We literally killed Iranβs leader
Pls.
White* working class**
*cocaine
**dealer
specifically, there are a large number of DC people who think of the white working class specifically through the lens of graham platner, a guy cosplaying being white working class
I donβt think unconditional surrender is imminent.
Thereβs memes as old as dirt about old men haphazardly spending young service membersβ and innocent civiliansβ lives for their delusions of grandeur. Even ones about it being meaningless waste. But until now I couldnβt internalize just how dumb it could be
"Oh but the signs are performative, it's just virtue-signalling, it's cringe" maybe, but I'd rather be walking around a neighborhood with In This House signs than trump signs. The jargon doesn't do anything for anyone though
There are now more kids with measles in Texas than children who have ever had transgender surgery
like we get to do some cool shit & being able to do so with a strong health equity focus can actually save us all money & integrating prevention with harm reduction into normal care can & does go beyond the immediate urban area
this is the shit most of us working there believe deeply in
I really hate that βit can only good happen!β is becoming one of my mocking catchphrases
βWhether killing children or saving them, America badβ
if graham platner was a Black man his political career would be done.
if graham platner was a Muslim his political career would be done.
if graham platner was Hispanic his political career would be done.
you want to see white privilege in action? it's graham fucking platner.
βI am so angry that I am going to help Trump minimize the political consequences of his war!β
slopulism will kill the Democratic Party. no tax on tips, Cory bookerβs plan to get rid of taxes on half the country. itβs all slopulist nonsense
yeah we all showed everyone this in 2015 and no one gave a shit
βwhoops, turned out trump didnβt actually have a historic mandate to rule like a king and people were just mad about inflationβ is a thing that basically every politics reporter knows but none wants to admit
i sort of think part of the problem here is that accurately portraying american sentiment about this war would shred a lot of other assumptions about the second trump admin that much of the political press have been running with since the start
Pain. Suffering. Anguish. The total extinguishment of hope. A vision of a world doomed to a lack of a better future. Peering straight into the abyss.
The experience of listening to The Life of a Showgirl.
Oooooooooooooo.
