'Cause small wars are fun, said the totally non-militaristic guy.

This endorsement is an embarrassment for an organization that says it fights for racial justice.

Did they ask anyone from Black, LGBTQ+, Women or Jewish groups before they did this? I can't imagine they did.

BREAKING: We are proud to endorse anti-racist, pro-working class candidate Graham Platner for Maine Senate in the June 9 Democratic primary and an image of surj endorses graham platner with a picture of this mediocre privileged white dude with his cleaned up grizzly adams haircut and beard.

Graham embodies the kind of change we believe is needed among millions of white people in this country: a shift away from militarism and racism and toward multiracial working-class solidarity that explicitly rejects racism.

I have way too many mutuals with this group.

These are not our allies. This is cosplay allyship.

No one who has a Nazi tattoo, says racist shit about Black folks, homophobic shit about gay folks, and blames women for rape is ANY kind of ally, especially when they make excuses for what they do.

For a supposed anti-racist group, they are remarkably tone deaf on racism.

SMDH.

"I was just asking a question...", one of the go-to excuses for outright racism for centuries.

Let's see, i can vote for a woman who stood up to Trump in person on Trans issues who happens to be 79, or a man with a long history of racism, homophobia and misogyny.

If you're not voting for the woman, you have issues.

An organization trying to enlist White people in the fight against racism seems like great idea...

... Wait, one exists... and they endorsed a guy with a history of racism, antisemitism, misogyny and homophobia?

Of course they did..

A porcupine perched on a tree trunk that has been partially uprooted by the wind, so it’s nearly horizontal

You may need a thing about now that isn’t awful. Here. Have a porcupine in a tree that I spotted near the St Lawrence River. I talked to them for a while and told them they were cool. I hope they got the vibe.

I think its awful that antisemitism has grown to the point that security is needed outside a Synagogue. If this was a Chistian Church the outrage would be off the scale.

I would add, though, that the guy quoted, Ezra Levant, is one of the worst, far right racists in Canada.

Fair play, 'the mad emperor started compulsively buying shoes for his court, guessing their foot size & his courtiers were too scared not to wear them even when they didn't fit' is some classic, on the nose End Days Of The Empire stuff

“Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

Unless the cost of a horse and a cowboy hat is $219.5 million, how on earth did a short ad cost this much money?

Another racist talking about mistakes he made in his youth, but he was 23-25 when he was posting this racist, misogynistic garbage.

At 25, you know better.

Democrats lost because he refused to do the right thing and drop out.

A new art installation by the anonymous artist collective Secret Handshake appeared this week on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., depicting figures representing President Donald Trump and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Those are three great choices - the Power and the Glory is my favourite Greene novel, with Brighton Rock a close second. Its the character work in both that elevates them, in my view.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The Dreaming is an underrated album. Its harsher than many of her others and didn't get a lot of love, but along with Sendusl World its my favourite record.

Please help me share the post below. I don’t have a huge following, but this nomination is a bit under the radar and deserves more attention. His committee vote is this Thursday.

Canada Is at War ... With the United States Pete Hegseth took time out from the chaos of the Iran war to make an announcement that Donald Trump has renamed the region from Mexico to Greenland as “Greater North America.”

Trump is once again denigrating our PM and ignoring the sovereignty of our border. This isn't "Trump being Trump" it is Trump being Putin.
We are subject to constant psyops and economic pressure to attack our right to exist.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
