For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

The reason Americans do not like history is because American history is nothing to like. So, they try to focus on everyone else's history.

I'm not saying a Christian *can't* be loyal to the USA—but until they swear an oath to our US Constitution & accept separation of religion & state—I can only conclude they support Christian Shariah Law. Christian isn't a race so it isn't racist to say we don't want Christian Shariah Law here in USA.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Hamilton: "He just said the war in Iran is not the problem, the war in Ukraine is. The Ukrainians trying to defend themselves are why we have record diesel prices? Nobody believes that. This happened in response to the war in Iran. Roger Marshall supported that. I support the Ukrainians ... "

Veterans kept their promise to this country. Washington should keep its promise too. I’m fighting for a fully funded VA that delivers the care veterans earned, without excuses.  Ashley Moody voted for H.R. 1, which cut Medicaid and SNAP for working families. #AngieForFlorida

📌Trump’s latest capitulation to Russia should close the case on his treason. By lifting sanctions on Putin, disrupting crucial satellite systems used by Ukraine ​on the battlefield, and pushing for their surrender, Trump is no longer bothering to hide his hate for America, and love of Mother Russia.

In August, Trump announced the “BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” But is it? The text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of DC’s most sought-after secrets. ProPublica got to see a copy. 🧵

“Stop Making Sense” premieres 42 years ago today. 🎂 “.. shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do,” said director Jonathan Demme. “Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There's no acting. I love it.” [“Slippery People”]

James Carville and Clintonian dems *are moderate Republicans*. They have more in common with the Republicans than the DSA, and they aren’t even coy about it—they say it out loud. They’re truly mind-bogglingly obtuse and mediocre people. Holy hell.

Why do we keep bringing up the fact that America is racist? Because it's motherfucking racist, that's why. When you purposely get rid of polling sites that serve predominantly minority groups, you are being racist.

Welker: "What are the implications of President Trump waiving sanctions for Russia? What's the impact?" Zelensky: "Strengthening Putin's war against us…It's really big support for Putin. He feels victory."
