"Drawing on lessons from Ukraine, the leaders described a battlefield where waves of drones, missiles and artillery could generate targets faster than a traditional headquarters can process them."

I actually don't disagree with this more than I disagree with the reactionary claim that 1787 was a "conservative revolution." in the context of their time, etc., etc.
The founding fathers were leftists. Thank God.
if someone was to say "where is the left complicated re: US history," I would say that u can look at a lot of debates over, for example, (1) the validity of the constitution as a document, debated even by abolitionists; (2) utility and form of labor unions as opposed to cooperativism from the 1820s;

so cool that the richest guy is trying to create a violent fascist memory culture from whole cloth
Out driving just now and saw this giant mural of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who got stabbed on a bus.
Despite the fact that her family has asked them not to use her death for political reasons, Elon Musk has been funding these murals all over the country.

There is a Kinda Guy that is absolutely gaga for Gruff-Aesthetic White Guy Who Says Kinda Lefty Things. Their love for this is *not* strategic or instrumental to some end, such a person is an object of intrinsic attraction to them, and a strong one at that. They will rationalise anything for this.
I also am baffled that people are assuming this super checkered barely known guy will be super progressive as though we're not living in a post Fetterman universe.
It's nuts that these are the two candidates the respective wings of the Maine Dems have coughed up. I am positive there are, somewhere in the state, a moderate who's not 97 years old and a progressive who doesn't have nazi tattoos.

if the radical left doesn't defend the honor of men in the US military, whomstsoever shall?
Platner's dismissive comments about sexual assault in the military were so disgusting that a candidate who had experienced assault in the service dropped out to endorse Mills rather than risk Platner getting into the senate. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/progressiv...

Can you imagine writing or editing this sentence with a straight face: "If one can get a Nazi tattoo innocently, then Platner almost certainly did."
It would be bad even if **there wasn't reporting indicating this just isn't true** - which there is.

reminds me of La Fontaine: "distrust's the parent of security"
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the DSA needs a new cohort of FP thinkers but the funny part is… so does basically the entire literal dem establishment lol.

"White people are becoming second class citizens in America because of the radical left agenda." Is it Jeremy Carl in 2026, or an Oregonian's white supremacist screed written in 1959 in opposition to a proposed Civil Rights bill?
