Anyone surprised that Trump is working directly with Putin has been asleep since 2019.

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

I kind of hope the youth mobility scene fails in either parliament to force the UK to join st least the European economic area so they can join Schengen.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

The list is even longer than this. Missing countries include Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Georgia 1921, Georgia 1992, Vietnam 1955, etc. etc. etc.

The question is not whether Europe shall fight - it will. The question is merely who is the Churchill of our times.

I keep thinking the Syria war has major lessons on how the Invasion of Ukraine will end. The war ended up being a war of attrition for years until one side saw all of their weapons dry up because Russia could not afford to support Assad once Biden released some restrictions on Ukraine. It’s obvious.

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

Red state economies are the most dependent on the Federal spending that's now being axed. Lots of rural towns where the only real money that's coming in are the salaries for USGS or USDA. If Hegseth hits military spending, that gets ten times worse.

I miss the days when hating Canada was limited to villains in late-night adult television as an absurd joke.

Since the invasion began, democracies have acted like they had a choice. Either see food prices skyrocket, or oil prices skyrocket. Now I'm not exactly certain this was a choice in the first place, because defending Ukraine and defeating Putin would have allowed Ukraine to win over 2 years ago.

The SAVE Act is stupid. www.stidmatt.com/index.php/20...

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

The SAVE act is not about protecting election integrity. It is already a felony for non-citizens to attempt to vote, and exceedingly rare. We already have documentation requirements when registering to vote. Thats why they ask for your Social Security number. It’s a non-issue.

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

Train announcement may as well say: "We apologise for the delay, this is due to years of neoliberal greed, underinvestment and privitisation of the railways. We hope to get this rectified over the coming decade with re-nationalisation and fairer taxation"

Labour desperately needs reform. Tories are irredeemable. The only way it will likely happen is if Labour voters abandon them for the Liberal Democrats.

Let's get this straight. Trump took credit for stock market and job gains under Biden— But inflation during his presidency? Not his fault. Got it.

People think the federal reserve directly controls inflation. This is not exactly true. Inflation is solely determined by aggregate supply and aggregate demand. By changing interest rates the fed impacts investment, which impacts aggregate demand, which impacts prices.
