Israel bombing Tartus in Syria tonight because they are always allowed to do whatever they like and nobody will stop them. Their neighbours are not real countries and the people living in them are not entitled to safety.

Mister Teeshock sir why was USAID funding your transgender musicals? Shouldn't you be more worried about the #IrelandIsFull migrant crisis? Also AIPAC told me Ireland is the Mecca of anti-Semitism.

Ian O’Doherty appear to be claiming that the Dublin bombings were done by the IRA not the UVF. Man is so fried online he doesn’t know what’s reality and facts anymore.

My goal, if there were approximately one or so and could be summed up, is to make the American liberal intelligentsia and political elite resolutely anti-Israel. Clearly a year and a half of mass murder, expansionism across three different countries, and starvation wasn't enough. Will this be?

What the fuck will he be getting out of this apology other than more opportunities for Trump to equate Ukraine with Russia and public platforms for JD Vance to repeat TASS headlines verbatim.

The Commission should demand an apology from the US or threaten sanctions / tariffs on whatever hurts US oligarchs the most, and force them to choose between Brussels and Moscow. I see no sign of anyone having this much spine yet sadly but the moment calls for something this significant imo.

Believe it or not, Cai, the citizens of other countries are not responsible for how their human rights play in American elections.

Either self-government and self-determination are universal rights of all people or they're not.

Vox is deeply enmeshed with (extremely antisemitic) Catholic nationalists and National Rally was founded and for a long time run by a Holocaust denier and a few years back denied French involvement in Vichy atrocities committed against Jews. Absolutely despicable stuff

The Israeli right offers a deal: We give your far-right movement with roots in fascism and interwar antisemitism a kosher seal, to detoxify it with moderate voters, and in exchange you support us in the most hardline anti-Palestinian policies. Both Palestinians and diaspora Jews are the casualties.

i think the takeaway here is that there is nothing special about Zionism. it is just another genocidal far-right ethnonationalist movement whose backstory includes being the victims of another one.

Far, far too many people confuse being direct with just being an entitled, tactless dickhead. Have some self awareness. Societal norms exist for a reason, they won’t change because you can’t follow them.

Small irony I notice in the last week, when Western Europeans spent years in denial about the threat of Putin while Poland & Baltics raised alarm, but now France & Germany seem to acknowledge American abandonment while Poland & Baltics are still clinging to an idea of America that’s long gone.

The primary purpose of the Atlantic Magazine is to make the dumbest reactionary nonsense palatable to centrist liberals. And in order to accomplish that task there is no amount of intellectual dishonesty and moral vacuousness that it won’t embrace.

The problem here is that the Gulf of Mexico isn’t in the US. It’s not up to the American president to decide what it’s called.

Private firms continually let the civil service down, but it's the civil service's fault, they just need more of that private sector efficiency (that keeps letting them down).

Senator Keogan's politics are obviously vile, but it is also important to note that she has consumed so much racist internet slop that she no longer knows what country she lives in

It's actually pretty great how the twitter-bluesky split has actually reflected on the online left too, in that the most obtuse of tankies remained there. They feel more comfortable among fash than the rest of the left, which I think says something.

Ignoring the continuing reproduction of the mass benefit fraud myth, this from Kendall in general is a prime example of the worship of work as in some way inherently virtuous for its own sake.
