You can tell how dead American journalism is that the vast majority of mainstream media reports about the German elections consist of stating the conservatives won and citing Trump's gloating tweet and zero mention that the German center-right fucking hates Trump and is the party of Angela Merkel.

@rokhanna.bsky.social cool story bro, I wonder how Bernie feels about you skipping a vote to subpoena the oligarch-in-chief

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

Gonna be very funny when Trump is just declaring victory for the conservatives because he likes declaring victory and Elon is rage posting about how AfD was excluded from coalitions

Grim news. I can't see the point of the UK & France not vetoing - even if they preserve their meetings with Trump, it's quite clear that he has swapped sides, & is now working with Putin against Ukraine & most of Europe. Better to stick to their principles, stay at home & plan next steps to save UA.

I don’t think people realize the psychological terror of seeing these constant Nazi salutes is inflicting on Jewish people specifically.

Sometimes I think the real division isn't so much between left and right but between people who feel connected to the real-world stakes of politics and, well, people exemplified by Yglesias's ironic detachment from everything and anything that affects people's lives.

So the major surprise turned out to be the rise of the populist left in Germany 🤔

The racial factors known to be at play didn’t work, so maybe the fact a lot of Americans think more job security induces laziness and would like public sector employees to be dragged down to private sector levels of at-will employment will demonstrate that class solidarity ain’t happening.

OK honest question what is the root of this? Is this just how you think on drugs?

One thing about this galling op-ed from Bessent, he lays out this ‘deal’ as if the war in Ukraine is done, it’s freedom already guaranteed. It’s not and Zelenskyy’s one aim is to secure it. “That demonstrates our long-term commitment to a free and secure Ukraine” This does nothing of the sort.

Terrific thread this. I think there are two long-running causes: the first is that the party's intellectual left has never recovered from being totally defeated - and being demonstrably wrong, at least at the time - about the big arguments that divided the party in the 1980s.

FWIW speaking as someone who happily self identifies as liberal and very much not a leftist, I think the effort to blame leftists for 2024 is silly for precisely this reason. There are just vanishingly few committed leftists and their votes didn’t impact the outcome at all

“they literally murdered Bernie” look I know there’s no returning ‘literally’ to its roots at this point, but a sizeable portion of the left does not seem to understand the meaning of words in general

this is obviously the after the fact thing on Gameday but man, seeing that “in play, runs” come up live in Bryce’s AB with a guy on first, knowing what it had to mean, waiting for the confirmation of a homer… #SFGiants
