Honestly yeah, I have a lot more respect for Lenin and the OG Bolsheviks than I do for modern MLs lol

MLs continue to have the worst fucking takes

That's fair. I personally think Mamdani is quite a bit better than most politicians at his level, but I also don't trust any politicians to be the solution. He's done good stuff and I think will continue to do so, but by nature of being in the machine can't save us from it entirely

He's had some fuck ups that I've seen but he's lightyears away from pulling a Fetterman

I know so many shitty things have happened and yet somehow I'm still astounded. There is no low to this country

Fuck lol that's a crazy start. I haven't played the new expansion yet, but that sounds awesome

There are THIRTY MILLION Christian Zionists in the US ALONE - that’s twice as many as there are Jews in the ENTIRE WORLD. But nobody’s drawing swastikas on their churches or rampaging through them or attacking Christian Zionists on the street. But yeah ok American Jews deserve this.

This isn't even simply a recent thing, either. Jews have reported for DECADES that lefties want to know their feelings about Israel before being accepted as one of the "good ones."

That doesn't happen if you mention that you go to church instead of a synagogue.

It should at this point. Having grown up in the evangelical church I know so many shithead fascist Christians, and if someone says they're Christian it's pretty likely they're a fascist piece of shit

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

today all 9 people federally charged with "materially supporting terrorism", rioting, carrying an explosive, as part of an "ANTIFA cell" were found guilty on some or all charges. the case was based in part on being in Signal organizing group chats and possessing political leftist zines.

important:

Just a heads up all the Jews in your life have not just moved on from yesterday’s synagogue attack.

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

He's a dumbass piece of shit, but he was a major in the National Guard and although that's not the most prestigious rank, the requirements for being a commissioned officer do actually require knowing stuff about the military

Trump Surprised To Find He's At War in Iran Once his not-even-half-baked plan failed to materialize in Iran, it’s clear that there’s no Plan B.

Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

ICE is not just aggressive in case after case, courts are finding that the agency is operating outside the law. Federal judges across the country are issuing injunctions, and ICE is violating those orders too. Here's the pattern.

God I hope so. I'm not optimistic but I still hope

This is correct, imo. A Democratic administration successfully broke students' will to protest. They won nothing and faced massive consequences. NO ONE stood up for their free speech rights among mainstream pundits.

Now they're to blame for the Biden administration's success at repressing them? No.

Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.

- of that sort of shit because I wouldn't be able to live with the fucking guilt. Anyone who participated in that shit and hasn't made it their life's work to constantly put a spotlight on it and atone for their crimes against humanity is a fucking monster and should be treated like one.

Motherfucker, I was a "random soldier" and if you as a soldier participate in war crimes and human rights violations, especially ones as atrocious and horrific as what happened at Abu Ghraib it is my personal belief that you should be fucking shot. I would have killed myself years ago if I did any -

I felt like I was taking crazy pills every time people essentially said, "No Nazi tattoos is an impossibly high bar. We can't possibly expect anyone to pass that. Your purity tests are going to cost us the election." Like, buddy we already know what kind of purity tests this dude is into.

It would demonstrate that people left of center's judgment is poor as well. That they are not to be taken seriously.

I think it is good to send the message that nazi tattoos are a disqualifying factor in American leadership. In fact this was a baseline understanding up until only... well... now.

Great fucking song

Hell yeah, thanks for sharing the info!

ICE Rams Vehicle and Hospitalizes the Same U.S. Citizen Again in Ventura County ~ L.A. TACO "I expect this kind of lawlessness from ICE, I don’t expect the hospitals to be complicit in that lawlessness and detain people," says Thomas Harvey, one of Leonardo Martinez's lawyers, after the hosp...

What a shocking story, great local news coverage, and inspiring work all around. This is what it looks like when people (and lawyers) fight back for a more just society. lataco.com/ice-rams-veh...

The way to understand the market's ridiculous underreaction to Trump's catastrophic Iran War is that traders prefer being empowered to say slurs to analyzing actual market fundamentals.

Constellis, formerly Blackwater, is an American private military contractor founded on December 26, 1997,[2] by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince.[3][4] It was renamed Xe Services in 2009, and was again renamed to Academi in 2011, after it was acquired by a group of private investors.[5] In 2014, Academi merged with Triple Canopy to form Constellis Holdings.[6][7][8] Constellis and its predecessors provide contract security services[9] to the United States federal government. Since 2003, it has provided services to the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2007, Blackwater received widespread notoriety for the Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad, when a group of its employees killed 17 Iraqi civilians and injured 20. Four employees were convicted in the United States and were later pardoned on December 22, 2020, by President Donald Trump.[10][11]

if you're trying to defend Platner by claiming that he didn't ACTUALLY work for Blackwater, he just worked for Constellis, which is TOTALLY DIFFERENT.....they just renamed the company after some mergers.

and Constellis is still notably evil! they're currently working with ICE!
