For how long are we gonna read headlines to the effect of “9 civilians shot in Gaza by IDF, but ceasefire holds despite Israeli violations” before we’ll drop the illusion that a consistently violated ceasefire is, in fact, a state of war?
Pathetic. One self-propelled artillery system won't materially change a zilch, since not even a hundred of them would make a real difference. Not to mention that this "sniper on wheels" will spend all its war thoroughly immobile and dug in deep in order to survive on the drone-infested frontline.

On Trump and Venezuela: it's worth remembering that Kim Jong-un once started his rocky relationship with president Trump as "a little rocket man", being threatened with "fire and fury", only to eventually become Trump's best friend, pen pal and travel agent. (1/2)

Change happens two ways. Suddenly, then gradually.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does now.

First time as tragedy, second time as a cliché.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

"Don't give ammunition to the other side" must surely be the stupidest objection to saying anything political in our time.

No matter what you say, people will always make shit up.

You might as well say what you really mean.

Keep watch: The growing fissures in #MAGA firmament may not be an altogether positive development for American democracy. #Trump presidency is but a vehicle for the people who keep him in power. If only the most fanatical people are left, the presidency itself will become more fanatical.

US and Russian officials draft plan to end Ukraine war based on capitulation from Kyiv
It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

On the day that Americans demand justice for hundreds of girls and women who were used up by rich and powerful men as disposable objects, president Trump chose to receive in the White House the leader of Saudi Arabia, one of the most misogynistic places on Earth.

If Trump decides to kill Venezuelans to distract from the Epstein files, it will be his signature move: Safely drop a few bombs from high altitude and declare peace before the pilots were even debriefed.

He won’t start a war. You don’t invade a country with 10 ships and a couple thousand marines.

The civil war we’re seeing inside of #MAGA is not about some of them finally starting to see through the lies.

It’s about power.

#Trump is unpopular, visibly going senile and a lame duck. The writing’s on the wall.

Rep. Green didn’t suddenly become a good person. She’s just ahead of the curve.

What’s about to happen in the GOP over the Epstein emails should have happened nine years ago over the Access Hollywood tapes. They could have saved all a lot of aggravation.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Won't be long before those poor, gullible Argentinians find out they've been had. Whatever money they actually receive will be much less than promised and attached to predatory repayment conditons. The Milei project can't be saved by a "Trump ex machina" ending.
Trump’s bailout threat may have been key to Milei’s electoral triumph in Argentina
Voters appear to have responded to idea that US president’s ‘generosity’ would evaporate if Milei failed to win

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

#Zelensky has had the appeal of someone who said "fuck you" to a bully. Doubly so in an age when having the courage to stand up for your principles has gone nearly extinct. (1/4)

US foreign policy under Trump mirrors the president’s modus operandi from his property development days.

Make a lot of circus about “greatest deal ever”, attract a bunch of starry-eyed investors, quickly move on to the next deal before they discover they bought an empty sack.
