A vote for not killing their babies is a vote for killing our babies

You've already long missed the boat for keeping fascism out of France if the sitting head of state is calling for measures like these.

This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists - they're so much more willing to take heavy-handed actions against democratic issues like "hey maybe police shouldn't be executing people" and are so much more reticent to even speak out against extremist views that have gained a solid foothold in France like "the progressive Islamisation of our country is calling into question the survival of our civilisation".

For some reason, they see the latter as much more "valuable discussion" than the former.

The top 10% of Americans own 70% of the country's wealth.

Have you ever stopped to consider the logical conclusions of that? If they lived at the same standard as the average American, we would only need to use 30% of the resources we're currently burning through. It's grossly inefficient. We waste more than 2/3rds of our resources so that rich assholes can live in $100 million mansions and fly around on private jets.

Say you're an American working a 9 to 5 job. Once you hit 1 pm on Tuesday, you've done enough work for the week to meet all the actual needs for society. The rest of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all just to pay for rich assholes to take a "hunting" trip to Africa and needlessly slaughter native wildlife. Or to buy the 400th car in their special collections that they've nearly forgotten about. Etc. Etc.

70% of the irreplaceble oil being drilled? Flushed down the drain just so that rich assholes can horde wealth. 70% of the pollution in the air? Put there so that billionaires can have parties on a private island. So that they can fly their private jets to private retreats and pretend to be outdoorspeople for a weekend. 70% of the new extreme weather being caused by anthropogenic climate change? All so that rich assholes can do things like jet around the world so they can say they've played a round of golf on 7 different continents in 7 days. Etc. Etc.

It's nowhere near sustainable.

"Sovcit, here's $20,000 for your house."

"What? It's not for sale"

Here's a reminder of all the stuff Democrats gave up back in June and got absolutely nothing in return:

• Defunded the IRS by $21 billion
• New work requirements for SNAP and TANF
• Defunded Covid relief by $30 billion
• Restarted student loan payments
• Severe 1% cap on budget increases for the rest of Biden's presidency (meanwhile inflation is near 4%)
• New natural gas pipeline in West Virginia and Virginia
• Major weakening of NEPA environmental reviews

Centrists: It's not all Republicans that support extremist candidates, there's still lots of non-extremists in the party!

Iowa caucus: Trump 51.0% DeSantis 21.2% Haley 19.1% Ramaswamy 7.7%

Leaving 1.0% or less that don't support an extremist candidate

I'm looking. Is something supposed to stand out about Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, and the UK?

Sanction Ben-Gvir

A great start! We're going to need to see way more of this to reverse the massive increase of natural gas production since Feb 2021 (2.6 trillion cubic ft / month then vs 3.5 trillion now, a 34% increase in less than 3 years and an all-time high for the US)

When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.

One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.

What does Substack plan to do with the profits that it makes from hosting Nazi content?

Why would she drop out, she's the leading eligible candidate.

Call it what it is: terrorist attacks.

The US didn't propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they've said they're working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.

But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.

One could argue that it sure looks like they're trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.

Geez what's next, a Breaking Bad show without Walter White or Jesse?

Exactly. There's basically two parties right now: the one running around setting things on fire, and the one beholden to corporate interests that won't let them use a fire extinguisher or a water hose.

Is starting fires worse than letting an already started fire continue to burn? Yes. Are the currently burning fires going to be extinguished either way? No.

Is this projection? Why hasn't Cotton denied being a member of the CCP, is there something he's hiding? He sure claims to know quite a lot about what's going on behind the scenes in China, maybe somebody should check this out

Wait until you see what files the IDF has

It's closer to 1 in every 80 who have been killed now (26,083 out of apx 2.1 million).
