Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

It's interesting how closely the descent of the Labour and Democratic parties are mirroring one another. The primary difference being that in the UK there are alternative parties which can come in and take the place of Labour. In the US you basically have to consume a party from the inside like MAGA

Green Party: "Drugs and housing!"
Labour: "No drugs, no housing!"

Easy choice imo

Here is my rant for the year and The Era:

We need to stop confusing the words “normal” and “common.”

It may seem trivial, but the differences between them are the differences between using stigmatizing language and descriptive language, they’re the whole piñata of difference.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

About all you need to realize just how bad this shit would get is to consider the charts involving how many native-born grandparents a person has.
Please note that any "centrist" pundit who blithely discusses the "merits" of arguments for eliminating birthright citizenship is either a fascist enabling fascism or a clueless clown enabling fascism.

I just figured out what this is so reminiscent of!

It's Mike Johnson trying to pull the "Trump was an informant against Epstein" shit.

They keep coming up with obvious excuses way too late for anyone to believe them and trotting them out anyways. It's as wild as it is stupid.
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

There's so many libs out there who are desperate for Republicans to offer them a "we'll get rid of MAGA if you get rid of the queers" deal and if you're willing to make that deal you are just a fascist with different targets.

On the bright side I think his refusal to offer up roast billionaire for dinner means he's got no shot at the nomination. I'm pretty sure summary execution of billionaires would poll positively with democrats right now.
Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

Yeah fucking right. "OK now that everyone's really angry and clearly not going to let this go and we've spent a solid week denying and deflecting we have a perfectly legit explanation."

Admiral Bradley is aiding and abetting war crimes and should not be allowed to walk free.

I’ve said for a while that one of the loadbearing myths in right wing American politics is that, if they wanted to, they could just kill all the liberals. “We’re the only ones with the guns! Don’t piss us off!!!” and whenever they run into evidence contrary it TERRIFIES them
that's cool, man, but have you tried the taste of a refreshing matcha latte

I also am pro sentences where the words “public hanging” and “billionaire” appear together
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

Fun fact: it doesn’t matter what SCOTUS says. They can’t “interpret” the constitution to mean the opposite of what it says.

They CAN invalidate themselves as an institution once and for all, though. Would likely make replacing this broken republic easier tbh
