Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.

“The real cost is not to the United States, it’s to the Iranian people. Because Trump said, ‘Help is on the way.” And help was not on the way. And now this deal will enshrine the Iranian regime, for a generation, with American support and cooperation, and send a message to people all over the world who are brave enough to stand up to their dictators and despots, that when America says help is on the way, that doesn’t mean anything.”
“And that’s the real cost of this. It’s that we’ve promised the Iranian people that we care about their lives, and now we are throwing them to the wolves. No matter what happens with the $300 billion or the Strait of Hormuz, those people will have to wait another several years before they get another chance at dignity. And it’s partially our fault, for raising their hopes and then squashing them unceremoniously because Trump just changed his mind and doesn’t care anymore.”

It's actually can't be overstated how much an anchor these people have been on our party. All of the most extreme positions they've take (open borders, defund the police, etc etc) gets lumped in to the Dem 'brand.'
People say 'oh why do you care if DSA guy wins in a D+50 seat' and the answer is that, everything is nationalized now and their extreme positions will get disproportionate play on both social media and the traditional media.
Doesn't matter how much you say you don't support it. If you're explaining, you're losing.
It's very bad.

All Deportation is Wrong? Even for criminal offenses? Darializa replies: "That phrase, yes, I still think all deportations are wrong."

There's a temptation for the center-Left to see the DSA as the hot new thing, especially as they lean into a quasi-YIMBY aesthetic.
I think that's a mistake, because their policies won't actually solve cities' problems, but also because the DSA is *crazy*.

After the DSA wins New York, Seattle, DC, and (potentially) the LA mayoral races, I think the center left needs to acknowledge that its infrastructure in major American cities is broken, that we are being flatly out-organized, and settling for uninspiring candidates.

Solidarios con victimarios.
Gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez mantiene apoyo a regímenes autoritarios como el de Eritrea, descalificando al Relator creado por el Consejo de DDHH ONU.
Por años, el régimen de Eritrea ha votado contra la Misión ONU sobre Venezuela.
Según el Relator, desde que Eritrea obtuvo su independencia en 1993, persiste “un entorno completamente desprovisto de Estado de derecho, instituciones democráticas, pluralismo político y medios de comunicación y sociedad civil independientes.”
Informó sobre “La desaparición forzada, continua, sistemática y generalizada, y la detención prolongada en incomunicación sin cargos ni juicio, la tortura y la persecución de opositores políticos, periodistas y miembros de comunidades religiosas”.
“El uso persistente e intencional de estas prácticas atroces, junto con la negativa sistemática a reconocer el destino o el paradero de los detenidos y desaparecidos, indica claramente que estas prácticas no son incidentes aislados. Más bien, constituyen una política estatal más amplia de represión y coerción.”
Al régimen venezolano no le interesan los pueblos victimizados, sino desmontar los mecanismos de investigación como el Relator para Eritrea o la Misión de la ONU sobre Venezuela.

@Toa_AU @football360au Nobody in the US thought the team was amazing. Grella is a fool. If anything, many of us thought we were going to get grouped or finish 3rd, judging by recent results and performance. Hence the excitement after the Paraguay game.

@football360au You see we don’t think we are amazing unlike you snobby yanks, I hope we humble you when we play. We are the underdogs and have nothing to lose. We have everything to gain.

'The MOST HATED man in Australia' is at it AGAIN ahead of Socceroos v USA 🗣🇦🇺🇺🇸
US pundit Mike Grella says we should build him a statue if the Socceroos 'do something' at this World Cup - and he has a message back to Harry Kewell.
And now he wants to 'let the football do the talking'. Bit late for that mate... 😅

"That's between them and their government" .... as in, if their government wants to slaughter them en masse, that's their own business?

JD Vance on Iran: Trump never said that his goal was to install Reza Pahlavi to become the new leader of Iran. What he said is, if the Iranian people want to rise up, great. That's their business. That's between them and their government. What we want is a cessation of their nuclear program. Source: Megyn Kelly

While there are legitimate uses of non-profits, the pretense of not having profits or owners obscures a lot of things such as strong incentives of acting in private interest of whoever is in control.
Florian Ederer@florianederer
For people asking why FIFA, nominally a non-profit, is trying to maximize profits: This is what your ticket prices are paying for. A completely gratuitous waste of resources, further enabled by the Qatari regime.

@MogettaAstor Se rebeló llevando a su equipo a un super hotel privado en Cancún, añadiendo vuelos internacionales a Miami en lugar de concentrarse en Florida y tomar un bus capitalista al estadio. Me imagino que el hotel y los vuelos son gratis, populares y estatales. Qué rebelde.

I think this is a good example of someone thinking that the way it works in movies is the way it works in real life. Michael Bloomberg spent hundreds of millions to be president. He won the American Somoa primary. Tom Steyer just came in third in the California primary. Jeffrey Epstein died in jail. Money can buy a lot. It doesn’t make you Lex Luther or Blofeld.
Lewis, William... William@WillLewis_1976
Elon is rich enough he could make anyone he wants completely disappear, and no one would do anything about it. I really don't think some of you people realize how much power you are handing over to him. He got the the rules for IPOs changed. He gets laws changed. He gets people elected. He can make people start wars. There are a set of laws for normal people. There are a set for rich people... and then there are a whole new level for people like Elon.

This stuff is insufferable.
Just enjoy the team.
McKennie was awesome and grew up here. Pulisic was a terrific- I saw him doing rabonas in Pennsylvania as a youth player.
We’re Americans.
The whole point is we have a variety of ways to accomplish things.
Franklin Leonard@franklinleonard
Notable that not one of the three real stars of this match - Flo Balogun, Sergino Dest, and Malik Tillman - grew up playing the game in the American youth system.

Ayer fue detenida la asistente cubana de @CADAL en Miami por agentes de ICE y no tenemos noticias suyas.
Me pregunto @SecRubio y @USAmbassadorARG ¿por qué ustedes tuvieron el derecho al sueño americano de poder progresar y a ella el gobierno que representan se lo quiere negar?

Most people don't understand the difference between having billions in the bank, liquid, & having ownership shares in companies worth billions. And I think it would behoove the media to explain this once in a while.

Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard@DNIGabbard
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/news…

Las soluciones sistémicas para Cuba tienen que ver con la soberanía del Pueblo Cubano, con Democracia para el Pueblo Cubano, con plena vigencia de los Derechos Humanos para el Pueblo Cubano, con aceptar la legitimidad del Pueblo Cubano; es decir la reversión de una formula arcaica y fosilizada que ha perpetuado el sufrimiento. Las razones que lleven a Cuba a la Democracia siempre serán buenas razones.

President Trump should make clear that negotiations will not proceed, and Xi’s visit to Washington will be postponed, without the release of several political prisoners, including Jimmy Lai, Pastor Jin, Gulshan Abbas, and others.

@FranciscoPoleoR I agree. While the interview with Trump I support, it's always appalling how journalists and academics soft peddle interviews and research--even fawn over them --with isolated dictators to maintain access--60+ years of that for Cuba.

Claudia Ortiz entered politics to defend democracy from the inside.
At the Oslo Freedom Forum, the Salvadoran legislator reflects on states of exception, mass arrests, corruption, and the growing cost of speaking out against tyranny in El Salvador.
Her story is not just a warning about authoritarianism, but an account of what happens when fear becomes government policy.
