I was wondering why he looks so familiar. That Italian pin, the mustache and hat: he's styled himself after Alceste De Ambris, one of the architects of fascism lmao
Where the fuck is Jubilee finding these guys
Founding stock — are you a horse? A dog? One's value to society is determined by what they do, not what some random blood connection did 400 years ago. That conviction, now being destroyed, is what once made America a distinct and extraordinary civilization in world history.
Imagine being an Indian living in America via the UK, claiming American citizenship while speaking with an English accent, telling a White founding stock American with 400+ years of ancestry here he's not a native. The brown chutzpah LARP from Medhi Hasan here is incredible.
A beautiful read by @RobinGivhan ❤️💔 “Theo was not the smartest of the Huxtable kids. He wasn’t the coolest. But he was the one who embodied the powerful, delightful, exceptional normalcy of being a Black boy.” wapo.st/46XdFAV wapo.st/46XdFAV

Officers are deployed at key points along the route as well as the form up point. There are additional officers in the vicinity of the counter protest. This week we have also distributed leaflets and deployed signage as a clear reminder about relevant offences.
Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)

Ozzy Osbourne meeting his lifelong idol, Paul McCartney in 2001.
People are mocking this but it’s important to realize the moral progress it represents for the GOP: less than 20 years ago the Republicans chose an actual pedophile, Denny Hastert, to be Speaker, whereas Johnson merely is running interference for pedophiles
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
Our women aren't property, you filth. Our women are our wives, sisters, and mothers, and we would protect them with our lives. Here is Yala Amash, one of the women who was murdered with her babies by your military airstrike on Saint Porphyrius Church on October 19th, 2023.
Benjamin Netanyahu bashes “Women for Gaza”: “You know what the women in Gaza are? They are property, they are nothing. They have no rights. They are completely subjugated.” He’s 100% correct.
The case for a House elected via multi-seat districts or proportional representation only gets stronger
Some redistricting news: MISSOURI Republicans are discussing a new 7R-1D map that would crack Dem Rep Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City district The WH, which pushed TX to redistrict, is on board, per sources familiar The current map is 6R-2D punchbowl.news/article/campai…

Not to be too dark woke or anything, but unironically, these people shouldn't be included in our society. They violated the social contract, and if every authoritarian died, the world would be better off. Bring back social ostracism. Exile them.
Trump supporter: Quite frankly, if Trump is anti-Constitution, good— and I think he should go further. I don't believe believe in democracy. I believe in autocracy... I'm a fascist. These are the people Trump has enabled. Sad!
They're called chelo kabab and cholesterol, respectively.

PBS Kids pays tribute to Malcolm-Jamal Warner: “As the voice of The Producer on The Magic School Bus, his legacy will continue to inspire learning, imagination, and joy.”
We have never seen anything like this in modern human history and what is being allowed to be done to the Palestinians, with the complicity and permission of the entire world, ensures that the near future is filled with more of this.
this post just came across my dash and it felt like a sign from the universe
you actually do owe people a conversation & explanations… i don’t like how gen z has normalized acting as though people are disposable and not “owing” people anything… u owe common decency & curtesy
This is why I believe that many more and larger wars are inevitable including with the remaining Middle Eastern states which are Turkey, Iran, and Egypt. This extremely expansive view of deterrence (everyone else must be weak or ruined) is a recipe for endless war.
Imagine a whole region is forbidden from having strong countries or sovereignty because that’d be an existential threat to Israel. "Strong nation-states are a threat — especially Arab states are viewed as a threat to Israel," he said. pbs.org/newshour/world…

یکی از آنهایی که آن روز پشت چراغ قرمز میدان تجریش منتظر بود، هوشنگ ناصرپور نام داشت. پشت فرمان تاکسی اش نشسته بود و حالا در گلزار شهدای بروجرد آرمیده است. بستگانش میگویند همیشه مظلوم بود و ساکت...
