any story on Israel saying Iran can never get the bomb should mention that Israel is itself a rogue nuclear state.

No one wants to write a complete script in a weekend just in time for the deadline for the VFX house and then make your producer (allegedly) perjure himself by giving him the writing credit because you're not yet a member of the writers guild anymore 😔

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

this sort of gives the game away. the whole point of the LA deployment is relitigating the dispute (both political and cultural) that the right feels it lost in 2020

The difference between a human trafficker and a law enforcement officer doing their job is due process. ICE does not give its detainees due process, and regularly sends innocent people to one of the most hellish prisons on Earth. They are the moral equivalent of slave catchers.

My takeaway from this is that the New York Times' brand is "being smug about people being upset about horrific child abuse." That is what Stuart A. Thompson, writer for the New York Times, would like the public to associate with the New York Times: smugness in the face of horror.

If only a major media outlet had seen fit to do an investigation into how a big Twitter account posted notorious child sexual abuse material where millions could see it for profit, whereupon Elon Musk personally reinstated his account and then paid him via the influencer program. If only.

Thank you and congratulations to all the Americans who voted for the candidate promising to raise prices because they were concerned about high prices, and thought curbing pandemic inflation faster than any other developed economy was bad economic management.

donald trump has nothing to worry about. a corrupt oligarch with a campaign run by paul manafort has never been brought down over his decision to turn away from closer trade ties with europe in favor of submission to russian domination

You have to understand that they hate you. Yes you, the educated liberal or leftist reading this on educated lib-left dot com. They took away AIDS medication from children for the specific purpose of making this video to trigger you. Triggering you is the goal and they will murder children to do it.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

"donald trump is a literal traitor" is a pretty common belief in the american security services. it's even a pretty common belief among people who served as political appointees in the first trump administration.
