Like the guy you are replying to said: have you considered *this is the backfire*

That is just cherry picking because the national party did not do the same thing and you know it. Texas and Florida are our biggest examples. cis white men think about anyone besides themselves challenge: impossible apparently. And don’t hide behind your trans kid.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I'm in the market for a beautiful Italian sandwich that will fix my life

I’ll be dancing for everyone else who faces consequences because no one else can keep the cult together.

i am lucky to be a homeowner but I have to use my home to actually live in, and I would not consider myself “working class.”

I received a mailer here in WA to call my rep about a tax on working families— who rely on their short term rentals for income. I laughed my fucking head off and threw it in the garbage, and then emailed my reps in support of the tax.

This is Catholicism 101, she would have known this and agreed to it before her first communion omg

Should be a mix of punitive AND patriotic taxes but 100% the people who caused this situation should pay for it— and the primary things driving it should be cut. The DoD was never covered in glory but they’ve beclowned themselves lately.

It is almost assured Israel loses every single dollar provided within the next 3 years.

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

JESUS, I SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR OTHER PEOPLE, AND I WANT THAT FOR MΕ.

Me, seeing Hungarian elections results

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.

And I have always found a job relatively quickly after it’s happened to me.

Honestly the fact that big industries treat laying off people as the default option probably colors this too. It doesn’t matter if you find a job quickly, getting laid off multiple times colors how you view the economy and how it works for you. I am completely anti- “at will” employment now.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

as if we needed even more reasons to want Orban go down in flames

Killmonger’s a great example of how having a legitimate, righteous grievance does not legitimize any action you decide to take to redress that grievance.

But they did that with POW/MIA. Hegseth has no clothes, but increasingly the GOs also have no clothes thanks to their bullshit pact to keep their careers.

Like, I think there's a reason people stopped asking "Does Israel have a right to exist" which is easy to answer, and started asking, "Does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish state" because they want you to think it's the same question, when it's not.

"Asking what it means to be a jewish state is a bad faith question"

IDK, I think it matters to clarify whether you mean the religion or the race because most people agree ethnostates are bad actually.

oh I’m sorry, was it the current government that made Israel an apartheid?

So it is really really obvious how people refuse to define strictly what a Jewish state means because you would have to start putting out what you consider acceptable, and they know they can’t defend Israel if they have to do that.

Israel has a right to exist as a state, but they want us to accept the rest of it by caveating Jewish in there, and I do not accept that.

I’d argue that if Israel Being a Jewish state gives it an inherent right to commit genocide on anyone who looks at it wrong, no. Israel has hidden a lot of shitty actions behind being a “Jewish State.” Apartheid, genocide, the apparent legal right to murder people it considers second class.

Now this is a bad faith question.
