If your response to a murderous attack on Jews in Australia is "but Gaza", you are an antisemitic PoS of the worst king and there is no redemption for you.

@jeremiahdjohns.bsky.social is 100% right about Hasan. He isn’t just a kooky streamer who abuses his dog, he’s an apologist and bootlicker for the worst kinds of global authoritarianism and tyranny as long as it uses the right language, and he should 100% be ostracised by the broader centre-left

"Earthquakes don't know it's Thanksgiving" is an actual thing my anxiety-ridden brain thought while I was in the shower today.

Very good ep of Daily Blast w/ @gregsargent.bsky.social in which guest @amandamarcotte.bsky.social points out that the ICE raids are "all anyone's talking about" in the Philly area and that average people have shown real bravery in standing up to them...

I actually don’t happen to care for AIPAC’s tactics the past few cycles but they’re far from the largest PAC in the country and I’m getting a little pissed off at them being made into the George Soros Boogyman of the far left.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

This is pretty nuts. I don’t care whether ur in the guard or reserves. DNI is a full time job. You can’t not be available during a major nat sec crisis. More obvious explanation is that she was close to the Assad regime and Russia and they may simply not trust her to be there.
Fox: My colleague Peter Doocy is reporting that the Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not invited to Camp David where intelligence and plans were being discussed. She was on National Guard duty at the time, but US officials say she was never invited in the first place

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

There was a lot of stuff that I tolerated as “their hearts are in the right place” as a leftist in 2017 that have made me feel like a fool since and that I’ve become way less tolerant of, and crunchy health people are at the top of that list. Guys who unironically support the DRPK are another.
I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.
