Democratic Senator from SC Fritz Hollings voted against a generic statement of support to Israel in 2002 (along with Robert Byrd) and called Sharon the Bull Connor of Israel
Every day the news from Europe is like “Russian cyberattack cripples fire alarms in preschools, EU responds by reducing amount of natural gas it buys from Russia by 1% and revoking symbolic honors given to General Chechenkiller (retired since 2007).”
It says the President makes an announcement, it doesn’t say who the President is…
COLDPLAY is the greatest band in the world, but I also enjoy MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and THE 1975 (great year!). I have been listening to MUSIC all weekend, and probably this week too. VICE PRESIDENT VANCE IS IN CHARGE when I am absent. Thank you for your attention to this matter! -JDT
NEW: Belgium has decided to recognize Palestine as well take multiple measures against Israel, including -The ban of all settler goods from being imported -Sanctions on Smotrich and Ben Gvir -Restrictions on imports from Israeli businesses -No consular services to Israelis in the oPt
It would have been so easy to add the word “consent” in here which makes it very clear why they didn’t
Well, the issue is that if you scan people for diseases unless they’re showing signs false positives are really common
Mayaguez incident except dumber
It’s weird that Joe Kennedy sent Joe Jr and almost Jack before his heath problems to study with Harold Laski given the former was a conservative Catholic antisemite and the latter was a socialist Jewish anti-Catholic.

What’s this dude’s deal
REPORT: Trump to dissolve into flower petals, be carried away by the breeze
It’s going to be so cool when he wins the primary and all the DSCC under Gillibrand gives him is a pack of gum and a few Canadian quarters.
Is he the super AIPAC guy?
Kat Abu should have run for Danny Davis’s seat, she could have pulled a Thanedar
Save us unqualified lesbian…
Aside from how Obama is remembered, it's striking that Obamacare is basically the last serious presidential legislative agenda that wasn't just trying to contort an annual budget bill to fit in everything you can crowbar into it.
These are apparently everywhere in SF and NYC per friends
Kpop Demon Hunters KDH Kamala Devi Harris Wake up Sheeple!
The enemy is the visa regime. It is beyond ridiculous the amount of paperwork required for an American to visit China or a Chinese citizen to visit America, let alone work or study, and this artificial separation imposed by our governments leads to artificial separation among our peoples.
Rahm went to Japan for a few years and comes back talking like Tojo...
Between Taliban rule, mass deportations in Pakistan and Iran, European governments trying to send them to the Taliban, the US refouling people who worked for them, and the earthquake in Jalalabad the situation for Afghans is nightmarish right now.
Thinking about all those posts about Israeli settler-colonists displacing indigenous Palestinian Jews in Gaza and I think it’s kind of cute how we’re just completely unable to comprehend sectarianism. Like these guys would be asking how Jumblatt could appeal to Sunni voters.
Yeah, like, Matthew Yglesias gets dunked on here but Libtard Crusher 🔻☭ who accuses every Jewish pundit of being funded by Zionist pedophiles is much more common on Twitter than here
Bill McKay real estate advice: houses where the previous inhabitants were brutally murdered are often cheaper, and they’re safer because the murderer is less likely to return to the scene of the crime than to go anywhere else.
Also Margaret Qualley, weirdly enough
The only nice thing you can say about the Star Slate Codex weirdos and their hangers on is that they have their own blogs instead of posting everything on social media.
Hmmmmmmm
Good game plan for the next Dem admin I think
it's so weird how journos knew JD Vance was in a group chat with minors but we never got a piece on this lol
this guy spent his entire life from his early childhood onward in Minneapolis.
No, I like the Coen brothers’ work together but I haven’t checked out any of their solo stuff, and the stuff with Tricia Cooke has such polarizing opinions
Good night Mr. President, I hope you have a good long sleep, maybe forever 🤗
Do or buy? Very big difference
Because she’s married to a man despite being lesbian? (Apologies for the very stupid questions, I really am curious about your opinion)
The peanut gallery has a lot of opinions on this, but notice that none of you said good night back? Rude.
Not a fan of her work?
Local Spanish newspaper has a segment on how childhood vaccines are untested based on a YouTube video, obviously n=1 but if American Spanish media in general is this bad no wonder 2024 happened like it did.
I’ve always wondered what things were like between when they were demolishing train stations left and right and when Carter deregulated air travel, when trains were disappearing but air travel hadn’t taken their place
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
People don’t know this, but Eric Adams actually wrote the XGBoost library in his spare time as a member of the New York State Senate.
Deliberate and exactly what DOGE wanted to achieve.
When the international coalition invades America they will install Jack Schlossberg as our caretaker President until new elections can be called.
Cultivate within yourself the utmost possible contempt for the far right and only then will their behavior become comprehensible and predictable to you. They’re animals masquerading as people
It’s not that Klein doesn’t take the right seriously. It’s that people like him take the right TOO seriously. They examine right-wing beliefs as an extension of valid policy objections, rather than almost entirely arising from the right giving people permission to indulge in inchoate resentments
I dreamed I saw Donald Trump last night, alive as you and me.
I think they’re complaining about the “car chase” and “federal agents” part; this ain’t MattY photographing parked cars
oh, he’s SICK sick
The Earth is the common heritage of mankind and no corner of it should be denied to anyone merely on the basis of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, or place of birth.
Anti-cosmopolitanism has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken people to the evils of rootSS
“Head of Mayor Giuliani’s Security” damn imagine signing a statement saying you suck at your job
Israel threatening to formalize its already-existing regime of annexation & apartheid over the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank in response to European recognition of the State of Palestine is the diplomatic the equivalent of “if you fire me from my job, then I will go home and beat my kids.”
I think we should make all pickup trucks hot pink so only people who really need them will buy them. I also believe we should make cops dress like British bobbies to dissuade the tacticool people
My take is that it is funny in some cases, but some people seem to relish the idea of saying a slur with a hard r a little too much.
REPORT: Melania Trump insists Donald Trump is fine, and says he urges Senate Republicans to vote against any entry to the League of Nations with reservations.
Funniest possible thing is we get a Hugo Chavez scenario where he was dead for a while before they announce it.
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
DSA National Convention votes for platform endorsing war credits, policy of Burgfriedens.
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.
Shaking my head at all the idealistic young people going into politics instead of B2B SaaS startups
you should be allowed to buy one month of streaming at a time without having to turn on auto-renew. i suspect the reason you typically can't is because these companies get so much revenue from people forgetting to turn it off. this seems really bad to normalize as a business practice.
If anything the stereotype about software people in the Bay Area and Seattle is that they’re always hiking
Every time I hear someone complain about the alleged echo-changer here, I’m reminded that the Twitter algorithm is just genocidally racist now
This is why men participated in things like “The Hasty Pudding Club” back in the day
SSC rationalism is popular because it’s the only way for men in software to hang out socially outside of work that’s not hiking.
scully: mulder you can't seriously believe in this mulder: I'm telling you, glonzo is more than just stories.
france in 1848: we will finally have a true republic free of any king! italy in 1848: we must be united and free of foreign domination! hungary in 1848: mankind will never be free until the last slovak has been strangled with the entrails of the last croat
Desperately trying to form this
You have the same thoughts about ISIS?
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, easy
One thing which Spielberg got shit for with Munich was comparing the Munich Massacre to the assassinations of PLO political officers
Really under disused how the logic of the GWOT has steadily erased all distinction between civilian leadership and militant in the kinds of operations that the US and Israel engage in. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Clinton and Bush both condemned Israeli assassination attempts of Hamas leaders.
Bruh I assumed the Babylon Bee would do a cringe parody with a fake name like Kommunismo Ahomosexuél Geñder like they usually do but they’re just straight up textbook libeling KAG under his real name and photo, holy shit.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
Interesting, their websites were of mixed help with that. Curious if their trans stances will impact the party line
I really would like to read more about the Gaza independents because aside being pro-Palestine and anti-austerity I don’t know what their positions really are and how they differ.
Anti trans and anti psychiatry have a huge overlap. Also there’s a subsection of leftists who seem to enjoy telling trans people “liberation for poor people in the third world means you won’t get HRT after the revolution” who would never tell a paraplegic the same about their wheelchair.
What has she said
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS infuriating, deplorable account of what one trans woman in the U.K. has gone through as a result of the country's shifting laws (particularly as they have moved toward explicit hatred this year). Just read it. My God.
Toque Dorado
Buttigieg would have been an apex predator if he had been on the national stage during the Bush or Obama eras but he is hampered by the fact his perfect for Larry King style of speaking is not very powerful online, which also explains why middle aged white people love him and their kids hate him.
What is it this time
Report: Donald Trump “is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Always a good idea to telegraph ahead of time that you’re willing to be the Wang Jingwei of a puppet regime so in the event of a war the invaders make sure not to kill you.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Favorite part of rural hospital discourse was someone arguing that rural areas are actually 50% black but they don’t trust census takers, so this was a call for genocide.
Critical support to comrade sepsis
Planned surgery is the only thing that makes sense IMO, if he were fine they’d be rubbing our faces in it and if he were dead or in a medical emergency someone wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to leak it. Planned also explains timing (3 day weekend) and Vance’s statements about being prepared.
Trump news
1. Elected to non-consecutive terms 2. Rapist and child predator 3. Economic catastrophe in second term To continue the Grover Cleveland parallels, Donald Trump must be having surgery to have a potentially cancerous tumor removed from the root of his mouth on a rich friend’s yacht.
He has appointed me his official biographer and emissary and any statements from me should be considered to have the full force of the Presidency.
REPORT: Donald Trump has secluded himself in a room and refuses to come out, wearing Kleenex boxes as shoes and storing his urine in jars.
Here's what your preferred 2028 Democratic candidate says about you: (hopefully this uploads successfully this time)
If it happens I am going to every gay or Mexican bar I can find in the hopes of getting free drinks
Trump on his deathbed: my God… I can see the darkness… Jeffery Epstein: join us, Donald Roy Cohn: hell isn’t so bad, not as liberal as New York Bill Clinton: I’m not dead, I just got lost going to the Navy Yard McDonald’s. Wait, is this the Lincoln bedroom? We used to make so much cash off this
President Trump is "diminishing, and Going into the West," per White House insider.
