The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The Dems need to start realizing that if they want people to support them, they have to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, not because it polls well or whatever

Lmao 'test of ceasefire' is funny. They broke the ceasefire. AP has gone from sanewashing and passive voice to outright not understanding the definition of words in the dictionary.

There's just no way to exaggerate how cooked your brain has to be to think like this. Trump is an unprecedented, law-breaking, norm-breaking, increasingly demented maniac who is destroying this country's basic institutions. Like, right now! As we speak!
But media elites find that boring.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism...

“How do you destroy a people? You take away their culture. And how is that done? You must take their language, their history, their very identity. How would you do that?” I pressed my lips together, then looked up at her. "You ban their books”

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover.
No, he did not fail.
He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US.
That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.
