I agree, which is why I look forward to the EU coming together to spend the ~€300bn annually it takes to build a navy with independent, global power projection capabilities. :taps ear: oh, I am being told they only have two fleet carriers, neither above 45,000 tons displacement. Oh well. Alas.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
I've seen enough. McMorrow has no path to victory left. The winner will be one of El-Sayed or Stevens.
You know what. I think I support her now. Anyone who consistently takes such pointlessly contrarian positions deserves to be in government.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 18h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November
a perennial obsession of anti-semites is the attempt to find 'real Jews' who can be used to attack other Jews. It's the role that Neturei Karta plays for a chunk of the British left too. But picking Mizrahim given actually existing Israeli politics is a real know-nothing sign.
Alex Mann@alex-mann.bsky.social · 22h agoThis is always a pretty easy tell for "does not actually understand Israel/Palestine outside of memes." I don't think anyone could look at the political currents of Israel and argue that the Mizrahi are somehow the people who will find common cause with the Arabs...

Like a decade ago, I thought that, despite being a liberal, I would be uniquely situated to interact with marxists, because I have read quite a lot of Marx and I'm quite sympathetic to much of it. Sadly, I didn't account for the complication that marxists don't actually read Marx
Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

I was told that folks like AOC were finally going to treat the right-wing like the enemies they are, but they keep on talking about how correct far-right activists are. Please, sir, my US left, it's very sick.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
A shocking number of people believe, with zero evidence, that Israel is behind Moroccan migrants into Spain, which is just the Great Replacement conspiracy. Meanwhile, US Jewish orgs have declared war on Mamdani for accurately describing Netanyahu as a war criminal. www.haaretz.com/world-news/e...

I'm not going to be gaslit anymore about whether this guy is an anti-Semite. Everyone who defends him is also incredibly suspect.
