The argument against the Left is usually an attack on "socialism," invoking shadowy images of Karl Marx, Communism & autocratic government. Here's a fine clarification of modern Democratic Socialism, which isn't at all like that & is making many modern democracies healthy & comfortable.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Treaties are federal law. As a signatory to the 1949 NATO treaty, the U.S. is barred by law from attacking another NATO member. Therefore, an order to draw up plans to attack Greenland is an illegal one. Military leaders are obligated to disobey illegal orders.

Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong.
Cool, cool.

"According to sources, Trump has asked Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare the invasion plan, but it is being resisted by the joint chiefs of staff on the grounds that it would be illegal - and not be supported by Congress."

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.

But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: Trump "said he was gonna lower costs, he did the opposite. He said he was gonna make healthcare more affordable, he did the opposite. He said that America would become a more peaceable place on his watch. We are seeing instead how he is deliberately stirring up chaos."

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.

Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.

Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

I learned something interesting. I cant smell "stink bugs" because its apparently a genetic trait to be able to do so (like how some people taste soapy cilantro). I always wondered why they were called stink bugs when I never noticed any odor from them. Apparently only some people can haha
