That's a nontrivial chunk of the country....
Karl Marx did not spend ten years living in the British Library for the modern Left to negatively polarize itself against the concept of graphs.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
we need to find whatever fucking idiot consultants are advising dems to slash income taxes and dump them in the middle of the ocean with concrete blocks chained to their ankles
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
Not only do we have the indignity of this war and the strategically useless carnage it's caused, the high costs of fuel it's causing will pick American pockets to put that money in Putin's right when he needs it most.
As a local party leader I wish we had the coordination powers and resources people imagine we do.
I think people have an unfortunate tendency to view Republicans as God’s way of punishing liberals and the left rather than proponents of a political ideology in their own right.
Though even if he is completely incapable of love, I don't see the rationale for doing anything but as much damage as possible for the simple reason U.S. guarantees aren't reliable. We ripped up the JCPOA and then bombed them during negotiations. The best deal in the world on paper is worthless.
I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.
our beloved tsar ensures it only good happens, unless the boyars betray him
that ain’t posting, that’s the way you do it. get your engagement for nothing and your clicks for free.
ugh talk about dire straits
Mines typically are below surface, with a weight or anchor suspending them underwater, and some of the them are magnetically triggered.
It’s possible additional military action could topple the regime, but that would have been necessitated by the initial operation‘s failure to do so. This war was supposed to be already over, without the strait closed and ships and port facilities on fire.
It looks like we were expecting the outcome of Khamenei being killed to be either the collapse of the Islamic republic or a successor sympathetic to the US, after which hostilities would end. That was not the result, so while the attack was operationally successful it failed strategically.
Our military did its job well in terms of destroying its assigned targets without severe losses. Iran has not really been able to counterattack our forces beyond that base in Kuwait where some personnel were killed. The issue is that’s become strategically besides the point.
Call of Duty: Postmodern Warfare where all your missions are content generation and you get more points based on how much engagement your violent hijinks get on social media rather than how well you achieve any coherent strategic objective.
Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.
Ralph Bakshi has you covered
I’m not trans, though I am queer, but I’ll note as a political activist who knocks doors for elections, a pride flag or sticker highly correlates with someone who a: will answer the door and talk to you and b: won’t be a cynical jerk that wastes your time.
Gaiman wasn’t able to pull on your heartstrings with his work because he didn’t understand people’s feelings.
the string of attacks this morning on shipping in hormuz feels like iran proving that they can still keep the strait closed
He's right that paperwork doesn't "magically" make you american- nothing magic about it, it's the simple administration of our laws & the reflection of our highest principles, which were paid for in blood against fascists, slavers, and tyrants, which he is
This is the same mindset, that you can bully your way past any threat or any facts, that led hundreds of thousands of Americans to sacrifice themselves to the Covid pandemic.
He didn’t guess the wrong size. He likes humiliating people.
We do not our politicians to make engaging content; we want them to govern.
But “we” are not the elite political press.
We want a functioning democracy.
They want content.
Donald Trump lives in an alternate reality where he thinks that simply saying something makes it true
