It ever hit you that none of this needs to be happening?

spare a thought for a millennial about to move back in with his dad

"arabs have contributed nothing to the arts and sciences" is such a funny fucking thing for a bog ape wearing a little suit to say

Basically the whole foreign policy team needs to be purged and many of them need to be locked up. It leaves us with a somewhat thin bench, but fortunately we can raid the stock of laid-off international aid and development staffers.

Brazilians beat back fascism by... voting harder? Organized offline and online around an election, using a mix of strategies aimed at both turnout and persuasion. Showed up in large numbers, and despite some very wealthy interests arrayed against them, succeeded? Huh. Pretty neat how that works.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

What I’m getting here is that the two flavors of coalitions are “we hate Palestinians and love the ultra Orthodox” vs. “we hate Palestinians and also the ultra Orthodox”

And all with likely record CIA interference, not to mention the security agencies of other South American nations which have swung back to the far right.

It is so funny that dad Bolsonaro stays in jail now LOL.

this company knows where their bread is buttered, this is catnip for liberal moms and that is exactly who you need to sell to if you wanna move ras el hanout in america

The Chud Internationale

The pothole line tells me that Mamdani, the Mayor of New York, is having a positive halo effect on anti-Trumpism as a vibe. Hell yeah

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

states are a cool idea and I hope we try one again one of these years.

This isn’t going to be a thing. There’s not going to be individual citizens who have a veto on national security. People seem to be forgetting who the State is here exactly.

Taxes are fucking disgusting and won't exist under Peronism

I enjoy a wild theory but Vance just straight-up hates women - HATES them - and is a guy so steeped in MAGA and Thiel nonsense he doesn't have any read on how this would play outside of those groups.

here’s my matt yglesias take- i do not trust the analysis of anyone who is unwilling to state what they actually believe but instead pretends like they are only providing objective insights. thats not possible and it means your biases are seeping in everywhere

This is UNBELIEVABLY damning on Jared Kushner but don't lose sight about what this says about Rubio, Ratcliffe and the rest of Trump's senior diplomatic and intel team. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

“As Omar noted in the interview, the Homeland Security Investigations agents would actually have more access to information related to her emigration and naturalization at their office than they could possibly find at her home.”

Yes, that was it. The plan was for all this to be popular, because the only reason it looked otherwise is radical leftists took over all institutions and forced wokeness down people's throats. Much like the plan was for white Minnesotans to greet ICE as liberators. It... It did not work.

I did the math on my rough chances of getting a tenure-track job in my field of history in 2013. Best case, it was about 6 percent, so I essentially gave up on academia and pursued other things. Writing MMA articles for a couple grand a month was a wildly more promising career path.

Maybe it makes me a credentialist, but I hate how we constantly elevate guys like Yglesias — who have no relevant education or work experience. In politics, he's never run for office, worked on a campaign or served as an appointee. On policy, he has a BA and has never worked in government.

Before I was openly queer, classmates told me I was going to hell because I didn't feel comfortable saying that God hated the sin of homosexuality. Going to hell for being an (obviously bad) ally!!!! That was a real "ok these people can't stop, it's an addiction to cruelty" experience for me

I will say again: The divide in the Jewish community is not between Zionists and anti-Zionists, it's between people who view the Occupation as an unacceptable moral atrocity and these who view it as an inconvenience to be managed.

Tired: Israel is Pakistan on the Mediterranean. Wired: Israel is nuclear El Salvador, on the Mediterranean.
