One of the biggest issues in democratic politics is how the consultants everyone hires sees voters as just a cash machine and they pummel them with messages asking for money instead of activating them for politics. It rightfully makes people extremely cynical.

Leftists are just wreckers. They are a huge part of why we currently have no bench.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

Hey, Bluesky pals — My startup is looking for a quant analyst with experience in data consulting and, ideally, in analyzing the social & environmental costs of industry. Knowledge about human rights abuses in the garment and textile industries is wonderful, but not essential.

Is this you? DM me!

The other problem with the “Netanyahu delayed the deal to help Trump” is that Netanyahu *never wanted a ceasefire.* He didn’t need Trump to tell him not to agree to a ceasefire.

As well, at the time Biden and Blinken blamed *Hamas* for the stalled ceasefire. They gave Israel everything it wanted.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

This is terrorism. Abolition of ICE and DHS is not enough.

A trio of cowardly, pathetic ICE agents hold a terrified man at gunpoint. The BORTAC patch, by the way, means Border Patrol Technical Unit.

“Israel” killed most of the people who died on October 7th and it killed most of the hostages who died in Gaza. But all we hear in the West is Hamas, Hamas, Hamas, who, under international law, have the right to resist occupation by force. Any real peace will not include “Israel” at all.

If you’re a leftist, we’d all benefit from you knowing what “clearly visible” means. Manufacturing details does not help.
