You cannot root for Iran in this situation because that regime is equally despicable. Thing about war is it is inherently evil shit, no matter who does it.

How embarrassing for “man of faith” JD Vance.

Thank you for using your platform to highlight this.

Ukraine have been saying WW3 started when Russia invaded Ukraine. Netanyahu is a symptom of a wider problem and all the people who wouldn’t vote for Harris over Gaza gave Bibi exactly what he wanted.

You can’t respect the office of this president. He’s not playing by the rules, neither should you. Expose him

People make choices based on what they can manage and what they can live with. If someone detransitions it’s because of lots of different reasons that we all likely battle with from time to time. I feel sad for them but not for the ones who harm the rest of us.

I mean, on the urine bottles - it could have been a lot worse, they could have actually just opened them and poured it all over the place. Perhaps if you don’t want hate, don’t spread hate? Seems fairly simple to me 🤷🏻

She proved at the WEC that she’s got no clue about law. The whole “we don’t think article 8 applies” should be ringing alarm bells for MPs because she is setting up endless legal challenges and a government who wanted to draw a line under this issue won’t get that if they follow her advice

Gosh, it’s almost like good education on history is key to understanding the post war world. Russia was already totalitarian when they got involved, they continued on that track whereas Germany renounced fascism and made changes while Japan became anti-war because of the price they paid. Total moron

So we need to enable torture and make all the horrible things legal, just to deal with immigration.
The people opposed to this need to get their messaging sorted because this is going to be the next Brexit-y battleground

Is Russia bombing hospitals with people in them, c*strating POWs and r*ping civilians not genocide-y enough for you? Or do you only respond to awful stuff if it’s broadcast on your phone on a daily basis?

And what about what’s going on in Sudan? Mass graves, millions displaced, confirmed ethnic cleansing. What is that if it’s not genocide? But my apologies, that isn’t getting anywhere near the same coverage or prominence online or offline is it?

I’m aware of the Israeli Haaretz poll - Haaretz is full of Israelis living in Israel so does this include them? Israel has a right wing problem. Just like anywhere else in the world where lies and corruption have been allowed to spread. We should be looking at Israel as a warning for the rest of us

Doesn’t alter my point that the family and the friends I have do not support this and endlessly demonising a country makes people in my life less safe. You can abhor what is going on and still live there. I’m not buying into this demonisation campaign. Russia doesn’t get treated the same does it?

Do you know any Israelis? I do. Don’t know a single one who supports any of what’s going on. All the Israelis I know are scared to tell anyone where they’re from because they’re ashamed of what’s going on. Do all Americans support Trump? No. Governments are not their people.

People have been protesting against him for years and all they’ve had in return is more extremism and further corruption. The only way Netanyahu gets removed is through force

Where was this QT? Some places do have a lot of reform voters and many of them may not have voted for them last time. There are sadly a lot more reform voters than most of us would like to admit.

I look at this, the Fort Bragg comments, the upcoming military parade and think - they’re telling you loudly and clearly who they are and the lengths they are prepared to go to. If people don’t urgently do something then it’s going to embed. Fascists only ever fall by force.

She’s the most outrageous appointment for an official rights body I’ve ever seen. I don’t understand at all how she can carry on in post after what she said yesterday. She absolutely should be removed from post because she’s a total legal liability to everyone

It’s almost like they can’t figure out what has caused such a retraction in growth. Couldn’t be that massive trading partner we walked away from could it?

At a time of unbridled anti trans hatred and the stripping back of rights, I’m not shocked that a trans person is detransitioning. Especially when detransition is largely due to lack of support. You can’t get more lack of support than the world we’re living in.
