There's nothing shocking about callousness. Mamser, this is a genocide, not a care center. Stop calling this incompetence. Filipinos in our own country should stop expecting competence or blaming incompetence too and wake the fuck up.

see, we should consistently consider things government doesnt do as intentional rather than incompetent. see it all the time in the big philippines. militarized quarantine? intentional. boltched anticorruption commission? intentional. widespread curfews? soft launch martial law?

You can write a nice longer resolution with articles of impeachment laying out the case in detail; I've done it before and seen it introduced. But it is not a procedural necessity. The House can vote on a literally one-sentence impeachment resolution if it wants, that's perfectly valid.

we're entirely in uncharted territory here. Israel and the US striking gas plants in the Pars field is lunacy as Iran produces 10% of the world's reduced nitrogen and cross field pressures have knock on effects to Qatar's portion of the sprawling reserve, crippling their ability to make NH3 and Urea

Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire." Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut." Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."

it's so fuckin weird because liberals - like they do to every other dem"soc" candidate - were violently shitting on graham platner until they were dripping blood from their ass, and then as soon as it was revealed that he had a Nazi SS tattoo, they were like "erm guys? some hecking nuance pls?" WHAT

In Europe, labor unions and socialist parties marched together and won massive reforms. In the United States, they were divided. Vivek Chibber explains how that split still shapes US politics today.

It's interesting how the centrist faction of US politics resembles the DVP (claims to be a people's party but actually represents big business interests, collapses the coalition due to tax/welfare policy, aggressively nationalistic rhetoric, ...). Claims to be Stresemann but are actually Dingeldey

Trump & the entire GOP own this. They torturing and traumatizing children. It’s sick & twisted. Lest you forget, Stephen Miller was behind Trump’s first term of separating families. This has to be stopped. We must call and write relentlessly under our reps cave under the pressure. #ProudBlue

you know, its getting depressing to see how some of your friends getting aware about class division and injustice... but from the wrong people (IE Maoists) You were getting in the right direction, but got derailed by patriarchic elitists painted red. i hate the mlm monopolization of the left...

Socialism in one country has rotted everyone's brains tbh. The point isn't to be satisfied with a territory or a periphery. We want the whole world, and we want that for everyone.
