A lesson the Orbán era should teach us: We have to change how we manage the E.U development fund. It is a good thing that rich member states give money to poor member states. But the current system, where the money can disappear in the hands of people like Orbán with no accountability, has to go.

Opinion | Yes, democracy is at stake. But so are the sales of my new book.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

I'm not being funny but let's summarise. Ukraine played along to the Trumpian-peacenik (these aren't the same thing but they are a functionally identical stance) delusions about this conflict by agreeing to a total ceasefire without having liberated all of its land yet. Russia did not.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

*stares directly at the camera

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’d live in a liberal democratic republic over anything else. I moved to the U.S. from China. Trust me, I have lived your thought experiment.

A friend of mine had his life saved by a Bradley IFV which took a direct russian hit but protected him, he then started wearing an American flag patch on his plate carrier

He ripped it off today

:)

He may replace it with a hello kitty patch I gave him which is much more ideologically consistent

The Baltic states are that one corner of Europe doomed to scream “we fuckin warned you” for eternity

If Putin does actually visit the US, it's worth pointing out that the admin is currently dismantling a lot of the security state and counter-terrorism stuff and we're a country where guns are easier to get than alcohol so someone could do something really funny

Picture unrelated

russia really only has one strength, and it's also why it is such a miserable place. There is no value to human life. They are willing to throw away 2000 men per day in suicidal meatwave assaults for a few meters of bombed out land.

Your purpose on earth is not to argue with people who intentionally want to misunderstand you

Sorry to be a doomer here. I think in political commentary social media, 2025 will be a bad year. Musk has helped far-right extremists launch a comeback. On twitch and YouTube far-left extremists or "tankies" are growing. I think those two will dominate 2025. And it will suck for Libs like us.
