A lack of accountability for rampant corruption and criminality is part of what got us into this mess in the first place and anyone who thinks we can “just turn the page” and move on is ensuring things will get worse. It’s disqualifying.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

These guys really just ain't built for this. Where is Thaddeus Stevens. Where is Ulysses S. Grant. Where is Frederick Douglass. Where is William Jennings Bryan. Where is Shirley Chisholm. Where is Robert La Follette. Where is John Lewis.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple

its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates

it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world

this is not a difficult call to make

The man is simply not a President at all by any definition. He is not faithfully executing the laws nor tending to the needs of the people. He has no concept of national interest or sense of duty.

He is a corrupt insatiable jackal.

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.
Last fall I ended up looking at a lot of Seventeen magazines for a project. Even in the late 90's, there was a section of book recs in every issue. One of them was historical fiction about the life of Van Gogh, doorstop-thick. It hit me then how much of a reading culture we've lost.

Don’t let them re-write history. It matters. These headlines and the report of the Jan 6 Committee represent the truth about that day.

Glem is a prime example of someone who decided that nothing dovish Biden did mattered so long as Biden was still marginally dedicated to containing Russian expansionism - either a very strange priority indeed or a blindingly obvious one, depending
Tankies and fascists often like to unite and have each other’s backs.

Glenn Greenwald promoting Trump and lying about him being anti-war in 2023 and 2024 is a great example of this

Mearsheimer is just an anti-semite, so he had no problem becoming a fascist, too.
John Mearsheimer, Oct. 3 2024: "I think that Biden's basic instincts are those of a warmonger, and I think that's not true of Trump. I think Trump is not that interested in fighting wars."

Susie Wiles not knowing what the fuck is going on inside the White House she manages is incredulous, but generally in keeping with a president whose brain might be cat food at this point, and seemingly signs documents, including pardons, that he can no longer recall. A madhouse, rife with schemers.
"But Wiles conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela’s mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. 'If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'"

Slightly related: all those Latin American leftists who thought Putin was with them (and missed entirely that in Europe he supported far-right parties, because what he chiefly is, is anti-American) are going to be rudely woken up, or should be, if they have any sense.

Either it was a limited operation merely to arrest Maduro and move on, or, it is an ongoing major regime change committment that will open up a transition including international and private sector partners. It really can't be both

Unfortunately, the only things to call this man are now considered slurs.
Let’s just say his brain doesn’t work, incapable of logical progressive thinking, and is spearheading a schizophrenic US foreign policy that already has, and will continue to cause mass deaths of innocent people.
Trump calls the war in Ukraine “primitive” and “horrible” after the Venezuela operation, saying it drags on with constant deaths. He adds he has great relations with Xi and China will keep getting its oil.
