Who exactly is the current admin appealing to with the current reduction in recommended vaccines? Either 1) Fringe radicals or 2) No one, and the Trump admin is just genuinely stupid. Both answers are bad.

Two things are true:
1. Maduro was a dictator who oppressed the Venezuelan people, and needed to be removed from power.
2. This is a step toward the Trump admin normalizing military operations against Greenland, Mexico, and Canada.

I think "discussed" is too mild a phrasing. If US attacks Greenland, Europe should basically treat the US the same way they treat Russia.
The US has loads of military installations in Europe. It likes to pretend this is for Europe’s protection, but this is only partly true. Ramstein, as mentioned here by the Greens’FP expert is a good example. If the US decides to attack Greenland, throwing out US mil installations should be discussed
Deutschland muss jetzt schnell sagen, welchen Preis die USA zahlen werden, sollten sie wirklich versuchen Grönland einzunehmen.
(Selbstverständlich hinter den Kulissen.)
Konsequenzen müssen angedroht werden. Alles muss auf den Tisch. Ramstein gehört ganz oben auf den Stapel.

I had a conversation recently about what motivates people to support Trump and Republicans so viciously, in such a cult-like way. It's becoming clear that not only was Trump privy to Epstein's web of pedophiles -- he was likely an active participant. (1/8)

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.
Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people.
And tried to Kill Zelensky every day
Spare me the gaslight

Russia took less than 1% of Ukraine since Nov 2023. Only cost them at least half a million soldiers.

Important point. Charlie Kirk now receives a lot of praise for engaging in debates, but the reality is he did so in bad faith. He was a demagogue chasing the next viral clip. That is not "debate", and it is telling about the state of democracy that so many people can't see the difference.
I had some thoughts about people saying that "debate me bro" trolling is somehow the height of democratic discourse.
The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

I am against gerrymandering, but I am also against unilateral disarmament. Gavin Newsom’s plan to redistrict in California, to get more seats in 2026, and stop Trump in his tracks, should be replicated by Democratic Governors across the country. We need to actually fight here.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

Thoughts I've been developing for a long time. Now seems right to share. The truth is that Trumpism was always going to implode. Too many ideological inconsistencies, built on a foundation that requires a level of cognitive dissonance so strong you're forced to like a freak like Donald Trump. (1/5)

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?
