The email fiasco really does feel like it’s going to be the beginning of the DOGE implosion. Just a massive government-wide demonstration that DOGE can’t actually DO anything and also, is being run on one idiot’s unreasoned whims

1-4 Very few commentators have noted this: America's current approach to Ukraine directly violates two key provisions of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 that the United States is a party to.

Russia is the perfect litmus test for if a person's leftism comes from a genuine conviction for human dignity or from being a raging asshole/theater kid. Russia is a white supremacist empire with non-white colonies, owned by billionaires who send starving teenagers to fight in colonial wars.

Russia’s GDP. Is smaller. Than Italy. They are not on the level of the USA, EU or China. They are a pathetic corpse of a former empire emptying its bowels.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Those of us who are serious about shutting down twitter in Europe may want to try to reach out to an Irish attorney. The European branch of twitter is headquartered in Ireland. We will have to go through the Irish judiciary with this proposal.

one of the things the Hungarian opposition had to do was to hollow out the corpse of Jobbik, a neo-Nazi party, fill it with opposition politicians, and use it to try to beat Orban. i really don't want to hear anyone complain about voting for Democrats

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

the US left will twist themselves into supporting russia, a country opposed to everything they stand for because it is aesthetically anti US but not canada, a country much closer to their stated values

Today we know that when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 they left the entirety of West Germany completely unguarded. The British and French could have marched unhindered right up to Berlin. But they overestimated the Germans, stayed behind, and Poland fell. We are doing the same thing again.

I know this will sound crazy to some. But the moment the Americans pull out of a security commitment to us, we must be on a hawkish footing. If we are defensive, the russians will devour us from within. We should be the ones taking the initiative. If there is going to be war, it's best we start it.

My rule for how to treat disillusioned Trumpists over the next few years: * If they're clearly apologetic, able to say "I made a mistake" and explain how they were duped: good for you, welcome to the resistance! * If they're just pissed that Trump is affecting them now: ruthlessly mock & insult.

Appeasement was a deliberate approach to buy time for rearmament, in large part because UK intelligence had a completely wrong view of what Germany's actual capability was in 37-38 This is collaboration with the enemy

It is always important to remember that the American left is AOC, not randos online. That said, the randos online have so far predictably proven themselves predictably useless in opposing an actual hyperacceleration of imperialist activity by their government

The way that Zelensky's attackers in international politics go on about the fact that he was an actor actually betrays an interesting little class thing, which is that being an artist continues to be considered not a real job.

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

To quote a Ukrainian acquaintance, there is something worse than being nuked. And that is to be subjugated. Remember: while our leaders fret about Russian nukes, Ukrainians fight every day against the invaders under that threat. Because the alternative is torture chambers and death.

We must reopen the Brexit debate in Britain. Especially now that Trump has tried to bully Britain into submission and Brexit has so spectacularly failed for everyone to see. Britain would be one of the most important allies to have in a united European defence.

There is no 51st state unless it's DC or Puerto Rico. Grow up. Stop treating the fuckery as rational policy to be debated. It is fuckery, and you have to shout it down as fuckery, and give it the respect fuckery deserves: none.
