Tiny Blair voice: It's a ne-ew day for Labour

is that then in turn used by Russia to justify bombing civilian centers? I mean, they'd do it anyway so

Can't see that ever happening for Ukraine, but this goofy "Ukraine is our enemy" schtick far more absurd

US House launches probe into alleged ‘discriminatory targeting’ of Coupang by Korea The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Harold Rogers, the interim CEO of Korea-based Coupang Corp., and requested communication records between Coupang and the Korean government for the past six yea...

How much money did Coupang have to spread around to get the royal treatment of Congressional Republicans? I'd wager only 0.01% of Americans have even heard of Coupang and now Congress is waging a war on its behalf.

A fantastic review from Ben Rhodes of a new book on Robert McNamara (by the Taubmans) that spins into a personal reflection on the cynicism and self-deception that gets American-exceptionalism-chugging elites to sleep at night. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Keep this in the back of your mind. This will come up again. James is a little freak who loves every little bit of Takaichi's dystopian security agenda and the plan to gut the Japanese constitution--the 2nd paragraph, of Article 9. For now, it'll be radar, for Ukraine. and what about after?

Now, everyone is talking about it like it's been the topic for months--and pay attention to the ones that tell you how wonderful and common sense this is. Those are the real nasty freaks.

!!! This is big.

he's a know-nothing. block him. If you haven't blocked him already, you are engaging in some kind of embarrassing public masturbatory behavior. this is just self-righteous lolcow for leftists at this point.

No. This is the little voice inside of you, talking you down. Will Stancil is exactly the type terminially online dork that is normal person repellent. That's why the soccer moms trailing ICE in MN suss'd him out. They want Mamdani's. They'll take a Graham Platner: but no milquetoast

Boston would be perfect it wasn't still so racist

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Rod Dreher retweet a post by Matthew Yglesias quoting Libs of TikTok

Quite a turducken.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

you are 18. nobody cares what your discord told you to think. Go outside, organize. You'll figure it out.

listen. you are a cheeky-baby. You are a fresh babe, you've still got toddler smell. I know the teen ennui so i'm not trash talkin you, but to instill some ancient perspective from an elder millennial. 1000 Mamdani in this country would be a revolution. Come out, organize, and learn about community.

​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza. ​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone. ​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

Columbia will never be free of this stain.

I think the people at Columbia who enabled this, including the admin that Mahmoud Khalil implored to protect him and who at best did nothing, at worst entrapped him, should be ostracized.

AOC on Cuba: This is what we've seen with Gaza—a new era of depravity. There used to be stated protections for innocent civilians, and now it's almost acceptable for the Western world to look the other way as people are starved or deprived—simply because political actors or regimes in that country are found objectionable. What we're seeing is the possible precipice of hospitals running out of fuel. Innocent children and women could be put in harm's way. It's incumbent upon all of us to defend human rights no matter where...

Interesting rhetoric from AOC here

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

100%. But I think it's worth saying that the "Ultra leftists" are terminially online people who almost universally have never done a days worth of actual organizing.

100%. It was as true then as it is today, and as it was 20 years ago when I first got involved in organizing.

America-Japan deathspiral:

Easing of censorship allows South Koreans a firsthand look at North’s propaganda For the first time, South Korea has eased restrictions on access to the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party. A close reading shows how it glorifies the regime and shapes ...

Great to see South Korea starting to relax its ridiculous restrictions on North Korean media/propaganda. The idea that South Koreans could possibly be fooled by North in 2026 is just silly.

yeah, I also didn't know any of those things about Bardot until after she died. yich

The LDP won 21m votes, roughly one-in-five adults. Hardly needs saying that many Japanese oppose the party and its policies
