Nations as hiveminds again. Ukraine 'solidly backs'? The US is all one thing? That’s not politics, that’s a cartoon.
@notchandrive.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat fantasy are you living out? Ukraine solidly backs the genocide that Isreal is carrying out against the Palestinians. The majority of the people in the USA either support fascism or are asleep at wheel. Iran is trying to defeat US imperialism but wait on some solid victories and a definitive win
Sovereignty for nuclear powers and nobody else. Ireland, Taiwan, Ukraine, Palestine and everyone else just funko-pops for “real” countries. Amazing how some Americans convince themselves they’re radically progressive with a same global outlook as Henry Kissinger.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
No wonder legacy media treat him with kid gloves and discretely wanted him to win—they can publish a billion “stories”/updates a day simply reporting on octogenarian verbal diarrhea and outright lies, offering seemingly no pushback.
JD Vance once said his proudest moment was denying aid to Ukraine. Scumbag. He bet on a Russian horse destined for the glue factory, because he’s both a coward and a moron. Never let him forget his foolish mistake. Every room he enters should erupt in laughter. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · last mo.one thing you can see on TikTok etc is that there are a lot of young, low info people whose primary exposure to the concept of antisemitism is as a bad faith smear, and my guess is that’s not good.

They aren’t “other markets” in the world of social media and Sinclair and other media outlets. They will take the interview clips and share them in order to scare people to vote for republicans. Why did I, in MI, know more about the LA mayor primary than the Detroit mayor race?
This is just bleak as hell, man. The end of the idea of development and international assistance. Was it completely altruistic in the first place? No! But the main non altruistic instinct was putting giant USA letters on the grain to feed starving people.
Thread. Strong agree, esp with this: “The basic foundation of the post-WW2 settlement of Eastern European grievances was that we draw a big fat line under them and move on.” I’d add that it’s not just the Polish right but the nationalist-populist right across EUR that’s undermining this compact.
