Your newspapers are lying to you. This week - xenophobic race-baiting, Trumpist propaganda, and unhinged jingoism, on the latest broadcast of Radio Free America.

Don't be a sucker. Listen to RFA to understand just how the lies work, from insidious to blatant.

You people need to be giving a lot less of your time, attention, and money to niche internet micro-celebrities and political influencers, and start giving a lot more of your time, attention, and money to me.

Maybe when Jake Sullivan isn't the Henry Kissinger Professor of the Practice of Statecraft and World Order I'll entertain the notion that a lack of internal accountability in a micro-sect on the far left fringe is what holds back American internationalism.

As someone who more or less agrees with a lot of left-liberal criticism of actually existing socialist foreign policy thinking in the US, I still find it silly that people on here like to pretend that Brett McGurk or Anthony Blinken have less influence than glup shitto who canvasses for PSL

lmao this is the guy who called a Ukrainian woman an "ungrateful European Karen" for being mad that Trump and Witkoff are constantly sucking up to the Russians while posting from a bomb shelter
For the love of god, all this account does all day is harass me, accuse me of psychotic stuff, day in, day out. It’s gone on for a year or more. This stuff calling me a fed literally puts me in physical danger. Can we not ban this filth?

This is quite literally a fundamentalist honor killing
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

"Jeffrey Epstein has an email chain with Ariane de Rotschild about how the Epstein and Rotschild families were Viennese bankers, and paid for the poorhouse Hitler lived in" is a self-censoring fact. i cannot say this to anyone normal. i literally have to pull the file and make a person read it

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

That's not true, people love calling any criticism of Russian society/culture russophobic despite Russian society and culture being voiceiferously and actively pro-genocide
Do you ever look inside of yourself and wonder why criticism of literally any other government's actions don't get lumped into a term for a specific sort of xenophobia, but when it's the Israeli government, criticism is automatically antisemitism?

@sharonk.bsky.social obviously doesn't need me to tell her this but the idea that nobody in Democratic politics is raising alarm bells over this because no one in the general public cares is insufficient. Nobody in elite politics cares either. That's the main problem. The liberal elite is sclerotic.
It's not great that Democratic FP priorities are largely outsourced to the three biggest clowncar think tanks in Washington.
