So many times this year I've watched police officers essentially explain to their communities that they're suddenly incapable of policing unless you buy them privatized surveillance tech and submit to warrantless tracking.

Like maybe this is the wrong career for you, my dude.

The long term consequences of the failed Iran War are beginning to reveal as we hear about crop yields being down from fertilizer shortages, diesel increasing, etc. but Democrats refuse to campaign on the looming crisis bc they fundamentally support the Iran War. So they decide to talk about a Twitch streamer every day instead.

Stavros Halkias: I don't wanna do the both sides bullshit because it's just not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare, I don't think that's equivalent. A lot of stand up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth

WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that?

EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.

Homophobic women are so fucking pathetic. “If my man has ever sucked dick and doesn’t tell me before we hook up it’s rape”. No it fucking isn’t. That’s not what rape is. You’re making shit up.

I really cannot stop watching this video. I watch it every time it’s on the timeline. So bizarre

Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?

Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.

The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.

“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”

Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…

… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.

“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”

Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.

You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

70 years ago, people like this were raging about having to let black students into their whites-only schools. 125 years ago, they were raging about the Irish and the Italians being permitted to live here. 175 years ago, they were running riot in Kansas to make it a slave state.

[simone de bolivar @_bitchsword]

the idea of “running the government like a business” while constantly propagandizing against taxes, which is its main source of revenue, is a fun little contradiction i think we don’t talk about enough

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

The moral calculus here is simple.

For decades there was bipartisan congressional agreement to fund lifesaving programs. 80% of Americans agree with providing food and medical supplies to the worlds poorest people.

Elon was neither elected nor confirmed. He illegally and gleefully destroyed USAID, which did not save any money - in many cases he just disrupted distribution of supplies already purchased - but he did kill many children.

The closest analogy would be burning down a food bank causing people to die of starvation. It was an illegal act that was wasteful and caused harm. You can’t defend it by saying “what obligation do we have to fund food banks?”

[Martín Dandach @MartinDandach]

El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

The dumber we get the more patriotic I get. Like yeah we have to preserve this culture. We got a fat soldier guarding an algae bloom, and this is serious business. He will fucking shoot you

Are you telling me my tax dollars are being sent to rebuild all the shit that Pete Hegseth blew up also with my tax dollars

Awesome war where we lost 400 billion, killed a bunch of children, and gained literally nothing

hatred of immigrants is a sign of moral weakness. one of the more obvious tells that you're just not a good person.

[ROOTING FOR ROME @JoblessVince]

circumcision as a practice is barbaric, and when you learn about the reasons it was implemented in America you realize why everyone here is so weird about sex. We're descended from literal puritans who maimed their children in an attempt to make masturbation less pleasurable
