It's a strange state of affairs where world leaders have to consider whether public support of Trump's Nobel Prize quest can get them, say, a tariff reduction of 5 percentage points.

Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."

When I posted a meme saying that we should support Tish James like we did Jimmy Kimmel, heaps of white people began attacking me. Not on Twitter, here on BlueSky. A whole bunch of guilt ridden, hit dogs came here to holler. The problem with America is that racism survives progressivism.

Nick Fuentes is a psychotic fascist who openly admires Hitler, denies the Holocaust, and says that rape is "so not a big deal." But you'd never know any of that by reading this simpering GQ profile, which treats him as a kind of edgy internet curiosity rather than a deranged Nazi.

NYT - Hamas holds hostages, while Israel holds prisoners. The racist dehumanization of Palestinians in the NYT is so deeply embedded that the paper would probably spontaneously combust if its writers and editors treated Palestinians as human beings equal to their Jewish Israeli counterparts.

I mean no disrespect to Italian-Americans, you know the people whose ancestors come from a country that didn’t exist as a unified entity until 1861, 355 years after Columbus, “the Italian,” died.

- It is legal to organize and fund protest.
- That someone organizes and funds promotion of a protest does not mean most, some, or any protesters are paid.
- Even if all protesters are paid, that is also legal
- It is good to oppose kings and fascism
- That's not what what "begs the question" means

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

The Free Press framing of DSA as a Dem Tea Party is also indicative of their willingness to lie.

DSA has what? One member of Congress now? They don't have anything like Koch money. Also, what conspiracies and violent rhetoric do they spread?

It's not analogous. Bari's narrative here is a lie.
