Trump just says shit, he isn't going to do anything substantial.

A key moment was Vance succeeding in reinstating Marko Elez, a DOGEr who resigned after racists posts emerged including “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

I'm not a political scientist but this does seem to jive with the strong state + strong society analysis that Robinson & Acemoglu champion in "The Narrow Corridor"

Is there a name for a version of liberalism that recognizes and addresses this specific flaw in neoliberalism (and is it just called "liberalism")?

Inshallah we shall make Twitter completely irrelevant

Tired: we’re living through a repeat of the 1920’s
Wired: were living through a repeat of the 1620’s

Have you considered reading the literature of opposing ideologies in order to develop a strong counterargument against those ideologies?

Uh huh, yea sure, God forbid we actually learn something from History.

NATO is merely the excuse Putin gave to justify his imperialist and irredentist ambitions. Russia has coveted eastern European territory for literally hundreds of years. The tsars, the communists, and now Putin's crony capitalists all invaded eastern Europe.

You are gullible enough to believe them

If NATO didn't exist, Ukraine would have already fallen and Poland - where my family lives - would be next on the chopping block. One needs only to look at the massacre at Bucha to see how Russian conscripts treat civilians.

I see "anti-NATO" in your bio and read "pro Russian imperialism". If you had your way, my parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephew would be shot by Russian conscripts.

You have a lot to learn.

All of the "failed" communist societies you mentioned all aspired towards this classless structure and ended up with classes.

The "good" examples you pointed out no longer exist and failed on their own terms.

Theory is well and good. Implementation is equally important.

The historical record shows that the incentive structure of communist societies creates a brutal dictatorial ruling class.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that ended the war was the fact that the Isrealis won.

INNOCENT

I am going to cold open every conversation I have with an autistic person with "You cut?"

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

He's only good in movies where he can plays the character "Dwayne the Rock Johnson"

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. § 7326.

A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

It's particularly rich that this is coming out today, 7 years to the day of the assassination of Khashoggi.

Did I miss something major, what's the context here?

Gov. Beshear on Trump's rhetoric: “It is incredibly concerning. It is not presidential. And I think it's un-American…Suggesting our cities are training grounds for foreign conflict is about as un-American as you can get…It should alarm all of us.”

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

"Now some people told me 'you can't win against a God of the Sea'. Wrong. We're bringing something Poseidon has never faced before: America. We will send the Marines, build the strongest ships you've ever seen. We're gonna collect the seashells, Poseidon's precious seashells we're getting them"
