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.

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?

The Kingpin is just legit less problematic and outright evil than our real life supervillians
if this happens it brings us one step closer to the Washington Post run by Vincent D'Onofrio
The Washington Post is not yet reporting the exit of Washington Post CEO Will Lewis or the ascension of acting Washington Post CEO Jeff D’Onofrio.

@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.

"In the fullness of time our stock tends to trade with fundamentals" is such a hilarious line to me.

Perhaps a bunch of people decided to be unfair and shitty to this guy for bullshit reasons. Perhaps people felt unsafe or exploited or just annoyed. But this is again one beef between a dude and one group of people. I don't get the need to defend it ideologically but I just don't think it matters.

watching this site turn, in a week, from talking about Minneapolis and sharing tactics into a circular firing squad because of something that happened to one guy who posts here has me more black-pilled than normal.

thankfully the Internet isn't real life. shit feels less stupid on the ground.
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Does anyone know of more recent materials on the exact nature of the gangs in Port-au-Prince? This is from 2024, not sure if it's still current. (French or English both fine)

Haitian armed groups have grown more autonomous, experts say, and force alone will not resolve growing security crisis.

Extremely skillful work from SBU interceptors operators. They are considered the very best, the elite of Ukraine's Defense, even though their role in peace-time is counter-terrorism.

Well that they do for sure now. Big thanks to their skills and dedication!

Honestly insane that America has normal politicians working alongside rabid delusional asylum escapees.

imo the issue with doing things like this is that "normies" didn't twig to birtherism being insanely racist.
