America’s too self-involved to get it but Europe surely must.
FIRST PUTIN CAME FOR THE CHECHENS & I didn't speak out - because I was not a Chechen. THEN PUTIN CAME FOR THE GEORGIA & I didn't speak out - I was not a Georgian. THEN PUTIN CAME FOR THE SYRIANS & I didn't speak out - I was not a Syrian. THEN PUTIN CAME FOR THE UKRAINIANS & I didn't speak out... THEN PUTIN CAME FOR VE-& THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME.

It occurs to me what occurs to Russian trolls and their useful idiot compadres in AmericaFirst land: Trump’s a goner and the GOP’s in trouble. Better embed among the Democrats.

They can read the writing on the wall as much as we do, maybe better. They pay more attention.

It’s sad how many liberals understand this poem in domestic politics, yet can’t seem to apply the same idea to foreign policy and the democratic alliance.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

CHART: US ACCOUNTS FOR 0.1% OF GLOBAL SHIPBUILDING Graphic from video link: "China is the world's largest shipbuilder by a significant margin. It has a military and commercial shipbuilding capacity that is roughly 230 times larger than that of the United States and enough capacity to build 23 million tons of vessels, compared to less than 100,000 tons in the United States"

I just looked at the list. What she said still stands. He doesn’t even understand what she’s saying.
Joyce Carol Oates & @Joyce... 17h S ... So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

It looked like the feud with Joyce Carol Oates was simmering down last time I checked but Musk can’t let it go. Hilarious. And how pathetic is the car company could pay this man a trillion

Let me guess how that happened
Wikipedia entry American Dream The "American Dream" is a phrase referring to a purported national ethos of the United States: that every person has the freedom and opportunity to succeed and attain a better life."] The phrase was popularized by James Truslow Adams during the Great Depression in 1931,121 and has had different neanings over time. Originally, the emphasis was on democracy, liberty, and equality, but more recently has been on achieving material wealth and upward social mobility. [31] Adams defined it as…

This is what happens when the jet stream wobbles due to climate change: the Arctic comes south. (Arctic warms faster than southern areas; differential lessens; less wind drives the jet east)

Thanks, Republicans.

It’s only fall. Will GOP climate-denying voters even know what hits them this winter?
Temperature map of N. America and Mexico shows Arctic air plunging south because the jet stream is too weak to keep it contained at the pole. Traditionally driven by eastward winds spinning in a tight circle around the Arctic, the jet stream derives its strength from the temperature differential between Arctic air and warm air to its south. That differential is disappearing due to climate change, with the Arctic warming faster than the south.

All Biden did was kick the can down the road. We could’ve shut down one of China’s allies before the two could coordinate attacks on democracies in 2027, when Xi plans to attack Taiwan. Now we get two fronts instead of one. A policy train wreck from our sunsetting POTUS & his Putin-loving successor

Code Pink’s game, in 2 charts & a quote

China’s military buildup went from 0-60 mph in a decade. It announced plans to attack Taiwan in 2027. Its shipbuilding capacity alone is hundreds of times greater than America’s

But it wants to copy Russia’s influence op & get the US to surrender voluntarily
Graph comparing America’s, Japan’s, S. Korea’s and China’s shipbuilding "China is the world's largest shipbuilder by a significant margin. It has a military and commercial shipbuilding capacity that is roughly 230 times larger than that of the United States and enough capacity to build 23 million tons of vessels, compared to less than 100,000 tons in the United States" Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively the pacifist is pro-Nazi. - George Orwell

Mamdani said he rejects capitalism (“has issues with” it or some such thing). I wouldn’t worry about it. Not happening.

Other parts of DSA’s platform do worry me given the number of useful idiots on both the Left and the Right.
Democratic Socialists of America PEACE IN UKRAINE NOW! The Democratic Socialists of America condemns Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine and demands immediate diplomacy and de-escalation to resolve this conflict. We stand in solidarity with working class people in Ukraine and Russia who will undoubtedly bear the brunt of this war, and with antiwar protestors in both countries and around the world who are calling for a diplomatic resolution. We urge an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine. There is no solution through war or further intervention. The crisis requires an urgent global anti-war response demanding de-escalation, international cooperation, and opposition to sanctions, militarism, and other economic and military brinkmanship. DSA reaffirms our call for the US to withdraw from NATO and to end the imperialist expansionism that set the stage for this conflict. We call on antiwar activists in the US and across the world to oppose violent escalations, demand a lasting diplomatic solution, and accept all refugees resulting from this crisis. No war but class war! Demand Diplomacy, Not Military Escalations! We are concerned with massive military spending by the US in this war, which undermines negotiations and dangerously escalates this conflict. The US has approved over $120B for the war so far, over $70B being for weapons and military. We oppose escalating militarization and stress the need for humanitarian aid instead of endless weapons profiting the military industrial complex. We demand: Contact Congress • Engaging in diplomacy with Russia to subside the crisis and avert the possibility of escalations or nuclear catastrophe. • Ending billions in US military spending for a protracted war drive that impacts the prospects of a ceasefire and settlement. • Funding for the basic needs of working class people and divesting from endless wars and militarism around the world. dsaic.org/peace Why Does DSA Oppose NATO?

This admin’s days are numbered. Whichever Dem wins the White House needs to be ready. I’m not voting for any more appeasers. The US response to the Russian invasion has been absurd and self-defeating, setting the stage for a two-front war on the Free World by the new autocratic Axis in a few years.
