Yeah seeing what all his shitty tweaks over the last few years broken down like this has done it for me I am gone. No longer want to be a part of this man’s shitshow, if you need me I’ll be over on Bluesky 🫡 @jrodgers97.bsky.social

How Musk broke Twitter and helped elect Trump (Location: Tesla European HQ, Amsterdam)

This is Celine Haidar, a member of the Lebanese national soccer team. Any comment @FIFAcom ?

Just had the pleasure of having this man in the shop here. A true man of the people and someone who’ll work day and night for the people of Donegal and indeed the people of Ireland. Vote Thomas Pringle #1 ✊🏼

Hoping to permanently switch to Blues*y before the year is out, everyone should make an account over there and follow me👍🏼 No bots and no ads and blue check marks ☺️🥰

Remember this is what they were saying before the last election… why believe anything they say now?…

The isr*lis in the Netherlands rn

Imagine it had been CSKA Moscow in Amsterdam, tearing down Ukrainian flags, chanting "death to Ukrainians" and disrupting a minute's silence for flood victims- Oh wait, they're banned from European comps. Kinda seems like there was a very easy way to avoid all of this!

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans: Chanted "kill the arabs" Chanted "there are no schools in Gaza cause all the children are dead" Ripped down Palestinian flags Disrupted a minute silence for Valencia flood victims with fireworks Attacked home fans Comparing this to Kristallnacht is OBSCENE

Thomas Pringle T.D. delivers a masterclass on the failures of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Greens in government 👋

Hi @SkyNews these Israeli fans spent the match booing minutes silence to the Valencia flood victims and "chanting death to Arabs" ... and your take is that those who resisted that are antisemitic?

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this. But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned. Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future. Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development. The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital. And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative. So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.

@FabrizioRomano Would you not leave it as a surprise you fucking weirdo? What’s the point in having the ceremony at all? Lets just let Fabrizio Romano give out the award on Twitter, class 👍🏼

🚨 BREAKING: Vinicius Jr will NOT travel to Paris as Real Madrid know he will NOT win the Ballon d’Or. No one from Real Madrid will attend the ceremony. No Florentino Pérez, no Vini Jr, no Carlo Ancelotti, no Jude Bellingham.

@danobrien20 @TonightVMTV Watch this video and you tell me if you think the sake of a few jobs are worth more than the lives of these innocent children and countless others in Gaza? How can you live with yourself?

An Occupied Territories Act is a bad idea because it would not change anything in the occupied territories, cost Irish jobs (if Israel retaliates with measures against Irish imports) and could led to a confrontation with the European commission. On @TonightVMTV to discuss

Israel's longest running paper, Haaretz, just confirmed that Netanyahu actively blocked every hostage deal since 10/7, Netanyahu meanwhile is openly planning to annex Gaza—& the conversation is still "why won't Hamas agree to a deal?"😐 This is how genocide perpetuates. Horrific

It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.

@_sweeneymichael Absolutely fucking disgraceful

Normal question asked by people who want nothing more than to defend themselves.
