The New York Times is now describing Iran's very normal acts of self-defense - shooting down American jets that are BOMBING THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY - as an "escalation from Iran's leadership." Completely unhinged to publish stuff like this.

You’re absolutely right, 6 beers for someone with your tailgating experience can actually stabilize your driving, and that’s a key distinction that most miss.

The people who staff Democratic politicians are either hobbled by comically elite cultural obsessions that make them unable to connect with normal Americans, or are professional and talented but addicted to money so they just sell out at every opportunity x.com/NewsFromBW/sta…

Where did Trump get the funding to bomb Iran in 2025? Biden's Israel aid bill, which most Democrats supported.

Western institutions only figured this out once oil got expensive

We are laying siege to the island of Cuba, turning off the lights in homes, hospitals, and the country's most critical infrastructure. These are war crimes: lethal, cruel, and criminal acts of collective punishment. It is sociopathy dressed up as foreign policy.

This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.

Lebanese die, Israelis are killed

Does Jon Stewart think the US launched its missiles at Iran from space

Lmao — this is the perfect end of American empire.

The difference is by design.

> 70 years ago, Iran looked just like any Western country. > Short skirts, rock’n’roll, open universities. > It’s 1953. Iran elects a secular socialist: Mohammad Mossadegh. > He nationalizes oil.

Today is a good reminder of how Elon Musk absolutely destroyed Twitter’s utility as an information tool.

Hey man, I’m really sorry for inexplicably punching you in the face. I just wanted to preempt the future possibility of you punching me first. If you think about it you’re actually the violent one here.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

I actually cant believe they're saying this shit out loud.

perhaps the most galling part of this article

Elizabeth Warren and other Dems rising to applaud Trump’s posturing around a possible war with Iran over the false claim that Iran is not relenting on building a nuclear bomb.

This is how industrial agriculture talks about livestock.

genuinely is wild seeing every single left wing political theory being proven absolutely right over the space of a few days.
