harris was also wrong about how to beat trump iirc. kinda the most important test of each of their careers. both wrong. worse for harris because she went second and still lost
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The claim isnt that the NYT didnt cover it, it’s that they did not make it a news priority which is historically determined by placement on the front page—which it wasn’t. It was A11, the US/Israel responsibility was obscured in a fog of faux confusion & framed as an “Iranian state media” allegation
You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
This is such a dogshit thing to say but notice how much of a coward he is to immediately go oh gosh oh golly when the reporter asks what he means by that. Can’t even have the courage of his dirtbag convictions, an insult to all men who wear shorts and hoodies in the winter. We reject him.
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
Simultaneously providing every other nation an incentive to develop nuclear weapons and an incentive to ensure nobody is aware that you are doing so until they are functional does not feel like an overall enhancement of stability

There’s always money in the
Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.
Literally a week ago Cork approved the development of 150 apartments on a mass infant grave hoping that it’ll be forgotten. For shame www.thejournal.ie/bessborough-...
I visited the Cascades Female Factory today, an Australian penal colony workhouse for women and I was overwhelmed by the contrast to Ireland’s reckoning with mother and baby homes and the belief that they deserve to be preserved and commemorated rather than erased. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade...
It’s been interesting to compare and contrast the responses of my two countries. Ireland trying to figure evacuation and US telling you to get fucked.
screenshot of a tweet from geoff keighley made on January 24th featuring a reaction meme from Jurassic Park featuring John Hammond smiling at his lawyer saying "in 48 hours, I'll be accepting your apologies"
I know. I know. But this tweet is VERY VERY FUNNY now.
Reminder that Trump is receiving some kind of ongoing medical treatment that includes a huge number of blood draws &/or IV infusions, he’s got something on his neck, he’s got dementia, & we know nothing about his diagnoses, treatment (including medications & side effects), capacity, or prognosis
long long long overdue for the reality of Dubai to overtake the propaganda
it is unusual to think about it this way, but Israel did overtly support Donald Trump after he attempted a coup against our government. insofar as there is democracy in this country, Israel is opposed to it.
Frame from campaign ad by Rep. Dan Goldman. His face full on center frame under which is the caption in all caps “ABOLISH ICE”
Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”
third way really has its finger on the pulse with its opposition to a billionaire tax. really smart election-maximizing moderation here folks
The Port Arthur memorial garden is an incredibly powerful place.
Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
