Lefties have a tendency to humanize the worst regimes if we are also being bad. That is not a good instinct. Iran's government is evil. But it is their people who suffer and whose suffering we are worsening for no point.
Assuming/hoping this is parody?
and just like that, Trump saved Russia's economy and war funding.
Todos somos americanos isn't just a trite slogan, it is substantially true.
Yeah, they chose racism. It was no longer so embedded in American culture that they were racist by default, THEY CHOSE IT.
(Note: I am not trying to downplay the existence of racism but the US WAS turning the corner)
I feel like the young Republicans are even worse.
I mean, US white cowboy and rancher culture is a derivative of Mexican culture, which is itself a derivative of Spanish and indigenous culture... so
The national currency of the United States is the "dollar" because Spanish silver dollars were in greater circulation in the colonial era than British pounds.
If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.
To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

RIP. One of my favorite reruns as a kid was Sanford and Son.
"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."
I sometimes wish we could all get along.
I know we can’t, and there are good reasons for it.
But sometimes I wish we could.
A chubby tan and gray cat sitting in a translucent plastic box the size of a shoebox, looking vacantly at the camera.
Cats are deeply unserious creatures.
Gelded. Probably no better description
The Mercator projection is useful because it shows true shapes and directions.
Why do Republicans want to kill white women so much
None of the DoJ people who have been resigning over the last year are squishy liberals. Many likely would have served willingly in a DoJ run by legitimate, lawful conservatives. But this is an unhinged regime of crooks, sycophants, and morons.
We're beating the bad guys by becoming the bad guys. We are very smart. lnk.thebulwark.com/4jXqccp
Good book for 2026 for some of you?

Almost like everyone that says this forgot that the INS existed (and you hated them too)
Politics works when it's boring. It works with compromise. Shitposting and trolling are fun but they result in a "victory" that tastes like ashes.
They are no different than the IRGC, FSB or Colectivos in Venezuela. Brutal thugs all.
I’ve heard about this.
Apparently the premise of this movie was not far off. Colonel Sanders got around. Also had bigly anger issues. youtu.be/KjVHW7a4XUw?...
