Real talk, the only reason people expect Muslim leaders to immediately enact sharia law when they take office is because thats what Christians do.

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"Best Of…" movie lists are just like awards shows: they provide a literal checklist for people who might be looking for movies recommended by people with taste. That's their value. There's no such thing in art as "the objective best". And no list is "complete". Don't overcomplicate it.

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

if there are reprisal terrorist attacks in the U.S. they are less likely to backed by Iran than they are to be independent actions by individuals unconnected to any state. think the San Bernardino ISIS shooting this is just how political violence works today, it's nothing specific to this conflict

The people whose foreign policy acumen created ISIS are trying to convince you you lack the sophistication and expertise to oppose war with Iran

LA right now has Catholic priests and also members of various gangs accompanying people to their immigration hearings. ICE is afraid of both these groups and so leaves the immigrants alone. If one of you isn't already working on this screenplay I don't even know what to say

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

it’s quite funny that my 15yo thinks the music being made now is the best music in the world and my 80yo dad thinks the best music in the world was made when he was 15, but the actual best music in the world, empirically, was made when i was 15. they both look so stupid lol

The United States effectively has no major journalistic institutions. The general population simply does not get proper information, reportage, or context from any major press, so major breaches of the constitution and international law are reported like dinner specials.

This is why right now is dumber than thr Iraq runup. There was a year of endless propaganda on top of the war mindset of post-9/11 and Bush at +60% approval. Right now its a historically unpopular president following an unpopular ally into a war nobody wants and he's making zero attempt to sell it

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with absolutely no basis, but wait over a year to see a judge.
