Everyone who thought Joe Biden would eventually rein in Israel rather than facilitate the killing of 70,000+ people, myself included, was made to look like chump when the weapons continued to flow. What I find strange is that some people never felt (or, perhaps, processed) that betrayal.

Vanderbilt Prof. Larry Bartels told me the data show Europeans have become *more* welcoming of immigrants in recent decades, a fact obscured by news coverage of the far-right. Journalists, he said, prefer to write the more alarming story. www.theredoubt.net/the-far-righ...
The far right is still not the future
From America to Europe, most people don't share the values of right-wing extremists.

People who made “defending Democratic congressional leadership” their online personality found a way to be mad at this: a Democratic senator saying he won’t fund ICE.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

I saw some people suggesting the below is disinformation, so, looking into it: Here's Elizabeth Warren confirming that the fight is over whether to attach reforms to more money (she says $10b, not $11b): "Not one more penny for ICE, unless we get some meaningful constraints over what they’re doing."

The US military has straight-up murdered 120+ people in plainly lawless strikes and abducted a foreign head of state, which is to say: this informs my opinion of the US military under Donald Trump.
