I'm a Gen-X socialist who has read Marx and will soon write a Cliff's notes version for the DSA millennials. I also bake my own bread and play the shamisen flute. But make no mistake; I'm here for the politics, not the cat memes. Okay, maybe just a few...

If the United States does not respect the laws of other nations, and gives shelter to wanted criminals... Why should any nation respect the laws of the United States? There is no strategic or practical reason. Therefore, many no longer will. Any strategist could have told MAGA that.

Mao was a dictator and a mass-murderer. Opinions vary on whether he was even a legit communist. None of that matters in China. If you have lucrative endorsement deals in a nation whose language you don't speak and culture you don't understand... avoid social media like the plague.
Of course he doesn't want to admit another far right authoritarian lost and of course he didn't present any kind of evidence to support that claim. That part isn't even news. It never is.

Key findings of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s new report, “Truth Under the Rubble: Media in the Time of Genocide” Visualizing Palestine tinyurl.com/3nucz26b
“I wish I had been more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purpose,” he wrote. “I pray I am more prudent and wise going forward, even as I remain resolute in my openness to engaging and praying for political leaders at all levels."
I thought Trump would keep Nicki at arms length because of racism. I underestimated his desperation to swing any demographic he can. This is happening
Since conflating the state of Israel with Jewish identity is itself antisemitic, I'd say the BoDoBJ is confused. Zionism is still racism. And they're promoting anti-semitism.
Elkins statement didn't make much sense. That's because it was a lie, as usual.
So many beaches in the Caribbean have dangerous currants and are not marked as such. I grew up swimming in the Gulf of Mexico and was totally unprepared for how strong the rip current would be in St. Maarten. I got into trouble myself and I'm a very strong swimmer.
“It’s making a company the de facto source for space traffic coordination within the US,” Donovan added. “It’s like giving a trucking company control of all the traffic lights, which they can switch to red whenever it’s their competition’s turn to go.”
Caster Sementa isn't trans, she's intersex. Her body produces more T than her competitors. As a result, she's been banned from several races, after refusing to take meds that lower T levels. I've never once seen her case referenced by either pro-trans or anti-trans lobbies in the US.
There is no anti-genocide party, because the state of Israel was built on the murder and displacement of the Palestinian people. If Netanyahu loses, nothing changes. Change has to come from Europe and America. And it is on the way, despite Zionist hegemony.
Part of the problem is that there are even facilities with this many birds. Once an outbreak starts, there's nothing that can be done to keep it from spreading. Sure, scale helps keep down price. Until there are a million dead chickens, no longer laying eggs.
The state will always be better at violence in the short term. The difference is, they have to pay their goons. In the long run, citizens fighting for their freedom can outlast the police state.
If they can afford to spend $200,000,000 to keep an honest politician out of the Senate, then they can pay more tax. A LOT more.
Talarico: You want to know why they are spending $200 million against me? Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money and I never will. I don’t work for them. I work for you. When we flip this seat in Texas, I’m going to vote to ban corporate PACs so billionaires can’t buy our elections.
They are just tired of winning.
"The concerns to me were that Hall was recommending treatment for patients that he hadn't assessed, that he hadn't met, and that other GPs were uncomfortable with prescribing," That's concerning. A Dr lost her job for following rules, the NHS lost a Dr and nobody won a damn thing.
This is why it's genocide: two occupying soldiers are killed, and the terrorist IDF punishes Palestinian civilians.
Exactly. Everyone has always known, including the homophobes that vote for him every time he runs. And he toes that party line, so nobody cares.

I'm so glad to not be working in the IT field right now. But if I do get work in the future, the next AI security threat will always be hanging over my head.
Election denialist states can now disenfranchise large numbers of college students from out of state, who have no need for any ID besides their student ID. Justice Jackson was the only dissent and honestly the only one that's mostly progressive, rather than a 100% Wall Street neolib.
And it's wrong. These are probably war crimes. I'll trust the judgement of international scholars on this conflict just as I do Palestine.
She thinks fake polls -which were published by many outlets- doomed her campaign and not Democrats voters rejecting her brand of status-quo neoliberalism? That's precious. And also election denialism, which isn't as laughable.

"You're going to learn a lot of interesting things in this class. You'll learn that the psychological profile of a police officer is the same as that of a career criminal." ~ USF Psych 101 prof This crook is actually trying to get money he spent on renovations back. No shame whatsoever.
I honestly don't know if they identified security threats or that Malaysia is biased because of the Palestinian genocide. The fact is, Zionists can hack targets regardless of device or apps.
Iran may not have the firepower the American military has, they've outmaneuvered Trump & Bibi at every turn. This conflict is on-par with Ukraine for the potential to escalate into WW III.
Most of the defendants are young, unemployed, poor and have every right to be FURIOUS that the neolibs have ignored their plight. The mask is coming off of the world governments that claim to be Democratic and egalitarian. Capitalism is Fascism.
Man who can barely read and has never written anything besides his own signature, wants a Pulitzer. Cry some more you big baby.
Yesterday there was coverage about a major security vulnerability AI found in 90% of websites. Including banking and government websites. Today the story is about every admin in charge of those websites, panicking and hitting the kill switch. This is the new normal.
I would call the Zionist did this an animal. But the truth is animals only kill when they are threatened or hungry. The Zionist who did this is less than an animal.
Colluding with agents of a hostile foreign govt, in violation of domestic laws? Sounds like treason to me.
"Critically injured by a Russian drone strike, Vlasenko lost his left foot to necrosis and self-amputated his frostbitten right foot with a knife to survive." That's one tough cookie. Most men couldn't have survived. These are the people we want on our side, not the damn Russians.
You can't trick an individual into being a racist. You can trick a racist into saying bigoted things on hidden camera, that they would never say in public. Don't go away mad guys, just GO AWAY.
The least treasonous explanation is that they would use the info to reject results they don't like. The most treasonous? I see no reason whatsoever why they couldn't send Putin a detailed dossier on vulnerabilities, so that he could exploit them. The Russian collusion has become obvious.
It's pretty simple: he's a foreign national that is trying to buy the government and destroy our democracy.
And she may never be correctly diagnosed. Autoimmune disorders are debilitating and can be extremely tough to diagnose. My best advice to her: study her symptoms, become her own advocate and run her own tests. It's awful, but no Dr. will ever care as much as she does.
