Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Nobody remembers that Obama supported the exact opposite of this in the summer of 2008 and then took the lead in polling? People vote for people with principles!
A pretty stark example of how “kitchen table issues” as a basis for opposition to an illegal war can lead you astray politically.
This somehow never gets brought up when people talk about “authoritarianism” in the Global South. A lot of “principled leftists” on here ignore it and reduce everything to “bad governments.”
PS: If anyone tries to blame Israel's current massacres, mass displacement, and mass destruction in Lebanon on Hizb'allah, remind them that Hiz'ballah honored the ceasefire for 15 months while Israel violated it *over 15,000 times*
Their response will tell you everything you need to know.
I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
being earnest, what libs miss is we have "held our nose" and "voted for the lesser evil" our whole lives
and look where it got us
we're done running full speed down that dead end- run a good candidate, or piss off
"there are only two choices"
wrong, there is always a third
so get it together
they are 100% correct in their assessment; we have literally betrayed them repeatedly throughout the course of the past century
I am increasingly convinced that “apolitical“ means “I‘m kind of dumb, sorry.”
"He also faced tough questions for agreeing with a podcast host who assailed Jews for claiming 'special victim status' after the Holocaust and saying that 'Hitler is always the convenient kind of bad example.'"
I love how cis people are throwing parties in states where trans people can be arrested for using the bathroom at the airport if they tried to go.
favorables for IL-09 race
This is disastrous for AIPAC's candidate in IL09 Laura Fine, her favorables went from +1 to -22 in a month.

They need to be sued until their balls are in a jar on someone lawyer's bookshelf.
“Undocumented immigrants can freely commit torts without consequence” is a pretty fucking dumb corner to argue yourself into
Fun fact: at CENTCOM, the Iran-focused Jim Mattis developed a plan to open the Hormuz strait. It revolved around rapidly speeding a multinational force to the strait to *prevent* mine laying; and then minesweeping what Iran already laid.
Problem is: then the ships are in range of Iranian missiles.
I’m skeptical of any reporting Iran will mine the strait. Mines are indiscriminate weapons. Iran loads most of its export oil at Khark Island in the Gulf, so its tankers would have to go through mined waters. Plus the threat of closure sufficed. But if it mines the strait, that’s to draw the Navy in
This is why they’re polling worse than ICE and AI

Hey, it's Flytrap Tuesday! This week, worker-owner @thebugbeardispatch.bsky.social writes about how the media ignored evangelical support of Donald Trump--and now, we are all paying the price.
Thank you for finally confirming, in public, that—as an institution—the NYT strenuously avoids understanding anything about writing.
"Our HIPPO initiative will unite emerging technologies and human expertise to support future generations while minimizing hippopotamus-related carnage. We will move quickly: I have requested that each committee submit a preliminary proposal to my office by the end of the calendar year."
2 yr ago, I tried to put a RO on my cousin who was on meth and broke into my house multiple time, vandalized, and attempted setting the house on fire with me and my partner (and dog!) inside. I had 6 separate incidents caught in 4k w/ mult cameras. Cops wouldn't even review it. Had to get a lawyer.
He used an OpenAI chatbot to screen thousands of NEH grants for "DEI." Any mention of gender, race, LGBTQ people or "underrepresented cultures" triggered a flag.
An Alaskan Native language preservation project? DEI. A documentary on a massacre of Black men? DEI. Jewish women enslaved by Nazis? DEI.
Yes, AI prose fails soon after three or four sentences.
And here's an explanation from a computer scientist about why: LLMs smooth out all the concrete texture—the surprising metaphors, the narrative examples—in favor of "semantic ablation," or a bland reversion to the linguistic mean.
Does Kevin Roose ever write critically about AI or is he congenitally incapable of doing so
SCOOP: The Department of Energy has made public a set of newly revised nuclear safety rules that slash security and environmental protections.
@npr.org first reported on the existence of the rules last month.

The Democrats sure are proving they are “different” than Maga by voting for Maga at every turn.
