#til A Chinese nickname for Trump: "'Chuan Jianguo,' which roughly means 'Trump, the (Chinese) nation builder.'"

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

Vaquera Elisa@boxelderdust.bsky.social

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

All the people who get self-righteous about Democrats taking large donations - do you think a bake sale would fund the massive legal bills - for example the bills for the intervention in Alaska?

it is very telling, the total lack of reaction to this from the western leftists who's whole personality was Gaza in 2024, remember that year when every single development in the war was blasted all over social media? and now....

Do the people who think AI's are alive think they are really flying a plane when they use flight simulator?

The MTA’s primary union is spending a ton of money to try and swing the vote against Hochul (the most pro-transit governor in generations) When Hochul wins by double digits anyway, I hope she remembers this and plays hardball with the union on efficiency improvements like OPTO and automating IBX

Funny how the "do something" brigade has not stepped up to help LaMonica McIver who did something and now is facing a Trumped up felony prosecution.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

Why do you need a clarification? Is it because 'progressives' spend their time bleating at Schumer, but don't know or care who the current Senate majority leader is? Don't criticize Chuck Grassley, who is 92? Who are you influencing by being ignorant? Just each other.

Too many people online are like, "Republicans set my house on fire. I'm choking on the smoke. My children are screaming in terror. Democratic firefighters must do more to inspire me to *not* want us all to die a horrible agonizing death or I'll refuse to let them save us."

I say yet again: any so-called “pardon” that is exercised as part of a corrupt or criminal conspiracy for which the President is either a participant or the beneficiary falls outside of the Article II pardon power and is void ab initio I’ll write the damn law review article of I have to

I’m happy to be blocked for reposting this. Israel is the only place in the ME where trans folks can be safe. As safe as they are in any western country.

jo is speaking 🦁🌞🟦@joisspeaking.bsky.social

This is for all the anti-trans losers who don't understand wtf they're saying. “I got really lucky to live in a country where they bring everything to you on a silver platter” says Abu Hanna. ...people refer to her with female pronouns, her Israeli ID card says that she is female...

This is the Jim Crow flaw in "free speech" advocacy by ACLU and others. Terrorism can censor speech too, but traditional free speech advocates ignore it, because they don't want to think of the role of the KKK in US History.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

its becoming more and more clear that Platner was entirely a conspiracy, I mean we knew a bunch of DC consultants picked their former coke dealer to make a glossy video for but after Wedgewood it seems likely they used to fake polls to pull in donors and choke out Mills' fundraising

it’s genuinely fascinating how San Francisco “progresssives” have somehow aligned themselves with republicans and the Koch Brothers in their opposition to funding mass transit

The pro-russian German neo-Nazi party has been hacked by a Ukrainian living in America. It does not really come as a surprise that the email correspondence clearly shows that AfD members have apparently been paid by the russians. (source: Die Zeit, and mdEP Erik Marquardt)
