@adamjohnsonCHI Honestly crazy to see the Democrats position themselves into the only losing lane for midterms and 2028 - letting the Trump wing get an anti-Zionist bump with their base while Democrats run on “more atrocities! higher prices!” which will just make many of their voters stay home.

@jakebrodes Hell yeah

[Alex C @apcatt]

@MarkAmesExiled Totally! Draw the status quo out to November and if Democrats win big he can blame them for any perceived weakness in settlement with Iran.

@Seamus_Malek Happy birthday my man! Dont listen to the haters. This is the year of the trench coat.

@_carlbeijer As soon as you see the word nazbol you can assume you are dealing with a wrecker or someone terminally online. Hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

Very good reporting from the NYT in Cuba: “Elsewhere in the hospital, doctors and nurses dashed to ventilators that were pumping air into the lungs of sick newborns. The machines’ battery systems died years ago, so health workers have to squeeze a rubber pump to keep the babies breathing until the generators start to work.

“With fuel running so short, the gas generators may be only a temporary savior. Nurses in the hospital’s neonatal unit said they already have plans for a fully powerless hospital: swaddle newborns in blankets and put them back into dead incubators, hoping they stay warm enough to survive.” https://t.co/YToe81Q1Ao

Hey Ro maybe now is a good time to explain why Jeffries planned this vote for Monday, 12 days after Trump began openly planning an attack on Iran and 10 days after the War Powers was first proposed. The House took less time, 8 days, to pass a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk.

@willmenaker I’m soaking up the sun with the Redwynes on the Arbor. Sure you need to listen to the Tyrell’s every now and then, but what are you gonna do.

@POLITICOEurope @nkulw He can’t come that day he has karate

[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

Yes indeed. The US is destroying world order.
And so did Israel for the last two years. With Germany support.

German and other European leaders cannot suddenly discover that the rule-based order is on its knee when they have governed over its demise for the last two years.

Complicity, tacit agreement, appeasement, silence: these have a cost. A high cost.
And you/we will all end up paying for it.

NYT dutifully liberal-washes Trump’s bombing of Venezuela and abduction of its leader by embracing the “captured” framework. Maduro isn’t wanted by any international or legitimate legal regime, his “fugitive” status is pure assertion by only one UN member state out of 193.

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

Sanaa, Tehran, now Caracus..This is Donald Trump's America -attack civilian capitals of countries that haven't attacked you!!! Unthinkable a few years ago, now normalised! These are WAR CRIMES, enabled by the 'rest of the west'. .It must stop. Viva Venezuela 🇻🇪

@saywhatagain Personally, I’m waiting for the first Trump class battleship to roll off the line

[Peter Raleigh @PetreRaleigh]

Something to be written about how the stock phrases of War on Terror propaganda have finally been evacuated of literally all meaning except their core rhetorical function: to legitimize unlimited US state violence, both at home and abroad

“…the nationalism at its core couldn’t be ignored. People might not know how to define the doctrine exactly, but they knew it presaged power, dominance, wealth.” @GregGrandin on the Monroe Doctrine, or really any jingoistic slogan like MAGA, America First, Elbows Up.

@Jesse_Brenneman @IHateNYT There’s this part in Gorky’s “Mother” where he describes that with some workers they are so broken that to them, the thought of any change good or bad could only lead to more work, and so are resistant.

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet
