watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

This regime is appallingly fascist. Any magas who are happy with what they’re seeing are not patriots. You’re Fox addicts if you think for 1 second No Kings is about hate. We will be out in the streets on NO Kings because we hate fascism, maga and the actual Nazis destroying us. No Kings = LOVE 🇺🇸

The so-called peace President has doubled the government expenditure for pepperballs and non-lethal rounds to be used against Americans exercising their First Amendment Rights.

Why is war criminal Netanyahu being given a standing ovation. He is responsible for the security failings that led to Oct7. He could have negotiated hostage release and a ceasefire 18 months ago. Instead he carried out a genocide, killed 80,000 Palestinians and prolonged the hell for the hostages.

Israeli hostage Evyatar David arrived at Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Hospital in the city of Petah Tikvah to a hero's welcome. The 24-year-old appeared in a Hamas video released in August of him in a Gaza tunnel, saying that he had not eaten for days and was digging his own grave.

one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.

time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.
