The Democratic party is as unpopular as it is because its own voters find the party feckless and weak.

S. Korea’s Lee says US unlikely to fully accept Seoul’s stance on THAAD transfer to Middle East Pentagon is moving parts of THAAD system from South Korea to Middle East, according to Washington Post - Anadolu Ajansı

Damn, we about to lose another ally...

I imagine the US can't imagine Peruvians replacing the typical aspirational "Americanness" with a similar Chinese sentiment. Anti Chinese rhetoric in Peru has been around for a long time...but China seems to be breaking that down. And the US, well...

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Normalizing assassinations of heads of state/government is not a particularly wise thing to do for the stronger hegemon facing asymmetric conflicts.

30 years.

This video should be on every network.

Well, you were kinda tall for your age. And he prob knew you were a Mets fan deep down.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This happened here in Chicago, opposite an elementary school.

They zip-tied up children in pajamas in the middle of the night as they threw them into the back of a U-Haul during a midnight raid.

This is systematic.

😭😭😭

A headline to sum up our times:

Israeli forces fire live rounds and teargas as they storm Birzeit University The Israeli raid has left over 40 Palestinians, mostly students, injured and choking

If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate.

Elected Democrats just pretend it isn't happening.

This is so fucking reckless and dangerous, I just can’t.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.

Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.

Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

Heard NPR’s correspondent, who is not in Venezuela, explain that people in Venezuela woke up to this news. Yet everyone I’ve heard from was up all night.

Intense observation on what the U.S. state is and isn’t doing requires critical attention to what the U.S. press is and isn’t doing, too.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

so any country can seize another’s leader for whatever reason? 🤔

Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

You can exactly simulate the effect of using chatgpt on the human brain, with no technology needed at all, simply by looking at billionaires and CEOs.

They do no work, they don't think, they don't learn, they encounter zero problems they themselves must think of a solution. It's all outsourced.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Audre Lorde on shared challenges between US black & indigenous women:

“All our children are prey. How do we raise them not to prey upon themselves & each other? This is why we cannot be silent: our silences will come to testify against us out of the mouths of our children.”

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Man, fuck ChatGPT.

The ICE Ruse: How Agents Impersonate Local Law Enforcement and Lie to Make Arrests - Documented This article was co-published with The Daily Beast.Leer en EspañolIt was early in the morning when Miguel found his Brooklyn apartment surrounded by people clad in vests emblazoned: “POLICE.” Immigra...

By the way, see a lot of folks confused by how ICE can call themselves “police” and basically lie to targets. I wrote (almost seven years ago now, how time flies!!) about how this is also completely legal and in fact is a specifically-sanctioned tactic the agency has
