For how long are we gonna read headlines to the effect of “9 civilians shot in Gaza by IDF, but ceasefire holds despite Israeli violations” before we’ll drop the illusion that a consistently violated ceasefire is, in fact, a state of war?

Opinion: With today’s economic narratives beginning to closely echo those of the late 1980s, it’s hard not to start counting the years Russia’s economy has left, Tatyana Rybakova writes.

The idea of polarization surely is the most insidiously stupid concept in contemporary political discourse.

Pathetic. One self-propelled artillery system won't materially change a zilch, since not even a hundred of them would make a real difference. Not to mention that this "sniper on wheels" will spend all its war thoroughly immobile and dug in deep in order to survive on the drone-infested frontline.

On Trump and Venezuela: it's worth remembering that Kim Jong-un once started his rocky relationship with president Trump as "a little rocket man", being threatened with "fire and fury", only to eventually become Trump's best friend, pen pal and travel agent. (1/2)

"Don't give ammunition to the other side" must surely be the stupidest objection to saying anything political in our time.
No matter what you say, people will always make shit up.
You might as well say what you really mean.

Keep watch: The growing fissures in #MAGA firmament may not be an altogether positive development for American democracy. #Trump presidency is but a vehicle for the people who keep him in power. If only the most fanatical people are left, the presidency itself will become more fanatical.

On the day that Americans demand justice for hundreds of girls and women who were used up by rich and powerful men as disposable objects, president Trump chose to receive in the White House the leader of Saudi Arabia, one of the most misogynistic places on Earth.

If Trump decides to kill Venezuelans to distract from the Epstein files, it will be his signature move: Safely drop a few bombs from high altitude and declare peace before the pilots were even debriefed.
He won’t start a war. You don’t invade a country with 10 ships and a couple thousand marines.

The civil war we’re seeing inside of #MAGA is not about some of them finally starting to see through the lies.
It’s about power.
#Trump is unpopular, visibly going senile and a lame duck. The writing’s on the wall.
Rep. Green didn’t suddenly become a good person. She’s just ahead of the curve.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.
