the double-event is upon us already

A meme showing a man at a chalkboard from "Pacific Rim". He says "in the beginning the [new French PMs] were spaced apart 24 weeks. Then 12. Then 6. Then every 2 weeks. In four days we could be seeing a PM every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this

oh the venezuelans didn't, but it was noticeable when Biden and co started calling out Maduro for rigging his own elections in 2024 lol

2024 elections happening when they did is also probably didn't help since what forpol credibility they had amassed went down the drain with their handling of Oct7/The Genocide that followed

given the fact that the 2024 elections being rigged is something believed by even other Left-leaning Latin American leaders, yeah i don't really get why people go to bat for him out of anything but reflexive anti-westernism

This is a big part of why I found a lot of the dooming over Takaichi to be so silly. She is deeply unpopular on her right flank and most likely would never have a strong enough mandate to do anything.

Bootleggirl on twitter writes: "I still dislike the Star Wars sequels but I can't no longer fault them for running with the premise of "20 years after fascism, same fascism again, but stupider" bc I just lived through that.

reactionary centrists insist trans acceptance went too far & generated a backlash

but the UK legal transition for 20 years, it wasn't an issue until the press made it one
