Iran rewards Spain's Trump-bashing socialist PM for his anti-war views by granting the nation's ships free passage through Strait of Hormuz trib.al/vjhMnXB

@ryangrim You're assuming there's a private market in Cuba where a hotel can negotiate and buy their own fuel. Cute
English

Reuters confirms why I’ve been saying: the U.S. has been allowing fuel in to Cuban private businesses like foreign-operated hotels but barring it from hospitals and other publicly run institutions.
I’m sure that the NYT and The Free Press, which produced entire articles about Hasan Piker’s hotel, will do a follow up now

@ryangrim Bro, it's called economic warfare. They're starving the beast, aka the Cuban government.

@jackdoranjr @ryangrim @vjeannek when you look at the definition of communism it is exactly how Donald Trump operates as a leader
the right doesn’t believe in a free market, they manipulate it

@jackdoranjr @ryangrim @vjeannek i think it's bad when the most powerful country in the world cuts off power to hospitals

It's disgusting that this is the closest thing to a mass-scale antiwar protest in the United States right now.
The problem with these "No Kings" protests is right there in the title. They're saying "We don't want a king, we want a president!" But Donald Trump is not a king. He is a president. And that's the real problem: US presidents are extremely evil men who do extremely evil things.
Donald Trump is a US president who is doing US president things. US presidents consistently murder people with unforgivable acts of mass military violence, mistreat immigrants and marginalized communities, and promote tyranny for the benefit of corrupting special interests in defense of the US empire and the capitalist status quo. That's what their job is. If they weren't willing to do these things, they wouldn't get the job.
Trump is not some freakish aberration; he is the product of the same American political status quo as his predecessors. He became president the same way they did, and the powers he now wields were given to his office via mundane executive, legislative and judicial decisions and precedents before he was ever elected.
But because the "No Kings" protests are organized by liberal defenders of that same political status quo, the demonstrations cannot address any of this. The whole thing is designed to be as large and inclusive as possible while also ensuring that it doesn't disrupt the established order in any meaningful way. They make no real demands. They coordinate the demonstrations with police and government officials. Protesters show up for a few hours with their brunch signs and their orange guy shirts, and then they go home without inconveniencing anybody.
They are not protesting against the US empire. They just want a more polite, photogenic empire.
They are not protesting the corrupt oligarchic political system which gave rise to Donald Trump. They just want the corrupt oligarchic political system to give rise to presidents who make them feel less uncomfortable.
The problem is US presidents, not kings. The problem is the US empire, not Trump. The United States needs drastic, revolutionary change, not daytime protests designed to be as inoffensive as possible. As long as Americans are protesting against fictional monarchies and easily replaceable oligarchic puppets instead of resisting the actual imperial machine, the abuses are going to continue.
The war in Iran is the most obviously evil American war in generations. People should be flooding the streets in every major US city. Washington DC should be on fire. Soldiers should be deserting en masse. Instead we're seeing these stupid fluffy lib theater conventions where people get together to do nothing.
Americans of conscience should be feeling deeply embarrassed right now.

@notbubbawallace Show me one instance of American police permanently stealing assets or cash from an innocent person. You can’t. You’re in a bubble brother. Get help
English

“just carry cash” i’m american. if you’re carrying a significant amount of cash our cops will rob you and call it “civil asset forfeiture.”

Donald Trump, at almost 80, is going to die sooner than we think.
Bookmark this. When Trump passes, there will be an absolute ORGY of grotesque delight on the Left and even among moderates. They will celebrate in the streets and hold parties. It will be a macabre display, such as we've never seen yet.
It will make their celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder look like your great aunt Mildred's church tea party.
Mark my words.

@IndiaWilloughby What DOES qualify you to... <take your fucking pick> ?
She had every right to take you to task for your oh-so-very-male hubris in fronting a show ostensibly for women.
Whingeing old blokes are the worst.

The spark that lit the war on trans people in the UK started when I went on BBC Woman’s Hour in 2017. At the time I was an ITV Loose Woman and Channel 5 newsreader.
I was invited onto WH for what I was expecting to be a regular light showbiz interview - but straight away, Jenni Murray was snotty as hell - asking “What qualifies YOU to present a show for women? Have you even read Sheila Jeffries? Should women shave their legs?” Peering like an owl over the glasses perched on the bottom of her nose.
A few days later, she wrote a hit-piece double-page spread in The Times, saying I wasn’t a real woman, and all the usual terf garbage we now hear every day. Really horrible stuff. I complained - and the BBC suspended her for six months. Unthinkable now! Murray was removed from Woman’s Hour. Big story.
The Right Wing press went absolutely ballistic - and from that point in early 2017, the UK ‘Gender Critical’ movement took off.

@IndiaWilloughby It was a fair question
What qualifies a man to host a show for women?
That women lose or are suspended from their jobs if they question a man is peak patriarchy
