(He/Him) Leftie GenXer; woke and proud of it. Climate change is real; vaccines work; science tells us what we need to know. I’m here for news and politics.
I'm happily married, not interested in crypto offers, and will not respond to unsolicited DMs.

Well, for what it's worth, Kat - Merry Christmas, and I wish you good fortune for the next year, especially in your electoral run. The world needs more politicians like you: progressive, young, with new ideas, and not beholden to the oligarchs.

Kat, I'm not a US citizen, I'm Australian. I'm not sure how campaign finance laws work in the US - is it legal for me to donate to your campaign?

Only Miranda Devine could be this asinine.
My mother's cousin, Jack, was always known to us as "Uncle Jack."
My best friend, Paul, has always been "Uncle Paul" to my daughter.
The local neighbourhood kids always called my parents "Aunty Iris" and "Uncle Kevin."
She's such a tool...

I'm pretty sure Snopes found this one was AI-generated (one of the reasons is that there is an arm over Epstein's left shoulder that seems to come from nowhere, and Epstein's right arm is going around the Pedo-in-Chief's shoulder *and* the back of the girl on his right)
There are better ones.

I am so torn. On the one hand, AOC will be old enough to run in 2028, and I cannot imagine a better POTUS than her. Smart, compassionate, classy, competent - she would be perfect. On the other hand, I simply don't trust the US electorate to elect a woman.

And unfortunately, not once in history - ever - has a fascist state been removed peacefully*
* One might argue that Spain's transition to democracy was peaceful, but it came at the end of nearly 40 years of authoritarian rule and only after Franco was dead. And they're still digging up mass graves.

While I appreciate the sentiment, the awarding of a NPP to Henry Kissinger, of all people, took the wind out of its credibility sails...

The text is compelling, and damning on the Pedo-in-Chief. But don't use that photo; it's an AI fake (like several others doing the rounds) that just feeds into the MAGAt narrative that this is all a leftist plot.

For a start, I’m not American. Secondly, if you think despising Hamas means supporting Israel, then you’re an idiot. Try to hold two thoughts in your head at once, will you. Hamas does not equal Palestinian people.

You think anyone who thinks that both Hamas and Israel are evil is a zionist? Are you fucking serious? Do you understand the concept of nuance?

Funny how ICE aren't going after actual gang-members. Could it be that the gang-members have the weapons and will to fight back? While the gutless cowards of ICE will only chase down people abiding by the law and attending court, or children, or fruit-pickers. Brownshirt thugs.

If they show up in unmarked vehicles, with no uniform, no ID, then it is most definitely a kidnapping. And the victims, and those around them, have every right to use all reasonable force - including lethal force - to defend themselves against kidnappers.
