Every year there’s always next year.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.

Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.

On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.

And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.

But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.

History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

@redsteeze If being mayor of ~8,500,000 people is just a glorified Dog Catcher, then why was so important that their first act be visiting a foreign country?

Cuba is having its Deng moment. From the floor of the National Assembly:

"Socialism is not egalitarian poverty. It is the intelligent management of wealth to eliminate poverty.

Socialism is not the absence of a market. It is a market subordinated to socialist planning and the collective interest."

MAGA went from ‘Surrender is Betrayal’ to ‘Thank you, President Trump, Sir, for Surrendering’ in record time. Didn’t even take a week.

FTR: Surrendering is what you do when you lose a war, and demanding terms is what happens when you win a war. Iran won, deal w/it.

The US caused tens of billions in damages and killed over 3,000—including 150+ school girls—in an unprovoked sneak attack. Why would any morally healthy person oppose baseline war reparations? Why are these people addicted to perpetual hostility?

In Britain, you're a terrorist if you try to materially stop a genocide. If you join a pogrom, you're just "fed up".

[Justin C. Donahoe @JutCDon]

These four individuals will serve more prison time for their part in trying to stop a genocide than the entirety of the terrorist IDF in carrying out the genocide.

Sick, perverted times we live in.

Israel has killed more Palestinians since agreeing to a “ceasefire” than Israeli civilians who were killed on 10/7

So she alleges an affair—scummy but his own personal business b/w a married couple—and that he thinks the US Empire is ‘the bad guys’, which is objectively true.

But keep trying.

A second woman says Graham Platner knew the Nazi origins of his Totenkopf tattoo, contradicting his claim that he only learned of its meaning last fall.

She also alleges he cheated on his fiancée and described the tattoo as a reminder that “the US was the evil bad guy.” (NYP)

[22 U.S.C. § 2304 @RefrmDemocracy]

AOC's refusal to wholeheartedly endorse Graham Platner -- after endorsing Biden and Harris at the height of a genocide -- is inexcusable. It defies justification.

And people's inability to be frank about this will be what separates her reasonable supporters from the fanatics.

[Ta-Nehisi Quotes @steady_drumbeat]

Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
