We live in this great world where people will compromise with, enable, and even openly collaborate with fascists, but will come together like the goddamn avengers to stop progressives and real people who want to stop doing the same failed things over and over
Max Boot is like “idk, the justification for this war looks pretty flimsy.” This is the most unsold war in the history of wars. That is like Cat Fancy calling a cat less than mid.
This is how I feel when folks talk about "RED STATES" .
Red states have large concentrations of Black people, who are heavily disenfranchised. They have liberal folk who been down there fighting Republican Trifectas for decades. My colleagues in Red states have shown me how to navigate systems and language to make shit shake in this new clown govt.

You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly.

Not major news to anyone but the real threat to women in sports is male coaches abusing them. I played high school, college, and club water polo and close to 50% of the coaches I had either had inappropriate relationship w a player or were accused of SA
“Who in the United States of America wants a war between the United States and Europe … over GREENLAND??”
This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
