There is only working class, the professional managerial class, and there is only one working class party, the Democratic party, and there is only one working class paper, the Financial Times.
No one in this thread says that. Again, abbot says “you can blame her for believing them.” It is entirely fair to ask “why did she believe them” but no one here is making the argument “she was correct to believe them”
This isnt true. Abbot straight up says “you can blame her for believing them”
Mate, the point abbot is making is that “possibly having built a strong relationship with biden/the admin for the IRA, AOC gave the admin her trust on israel. She is clearly angry about that decision and sees it as wrong.” Like everyone involved here, including aoc, thinks she was wrong.
LSE - the school that mostly trains bankers - is so funny here as the representative london school and not SOAS - the school that holds communist themed dance parties
As the resident corpo, very happy to be able to put my bunker on some rich dude’s tab
“A palestinian is a partisan regarding the issue of their people’s genocide and therefore unreliable” is certainly…an argument one can make. And doesn’t at all contend with any of the various sources that they simply quote verbatim
Not to hijack the thread for just this one issue but like, mate, biden in no way shape or form actually tried to restrain bibi. Like just full carte blanche. Go read any of the stuff @diplomatofnight.com posts. And it absolutely continues to torch goodwill as schumer says “i exist to protect israel”

If anyone knows how to get in touch with Liam in Minnesota…Mr Spider-Man might have a voice message 👀
Read it and really enjoyed it. Saw complaints about shallow characters, and thought it was misplaced as, to me, the individual characters weren’t the point, but the overarching horror and mission
Ya that aint what you said though. Also, there’s been plenty of “major eruptions of activity” in minneapolis without the dumpster fires
Yo im sorry but “i set a dumpster on fire in the middle of the street to keep warm at a civic action where the feds are looking for any and all excuses to be violent” is dumb as rocks. Like oh my god lol lmao even
I saw one video where he says “hey man dont set dumpsters on fire” and then gets punched. Also, a movement needs internal controls! Just saying “its a protest” doesnt mean there’s no rules. Like the Hong Kong protests, which had different violent-non violent wings, were highly internally organized!
Like youre allowed to have differing tactical goals but the overall strategic goal - getting ice out - is served by both “take media with me to see moms get teargassed” and “keep the mutual aid distro list on the dl”
I sincerely don’t understand this “far more experienced” or “at a protest for clout” thing. If stancil has clout/is media trained, and is helping turn the national media narrative against ICE, this is a good thing. It may differ from someone else’s specific goals, but that doesnt make it bad
Ya 100%, and on the in office side it’d be things like proper access controls to prevent disgruntled former employees or activists from getting to current employees (obvs also has other benefits, but “not getting sued by own employees” is a big one)
…for business purposes, they SHOULD take “all reasonable precautions” to ensure your safety, or else you can sue. This concept typically does not extend to “me working in my own home.” If anything, forcing people back into the office raises corporate security risks and costs.
Corporate security (physical) guy here: not really, at least in my experience. There’s the concept of “duty of care” that dictates what standards of security a company is responsible for when it comes to their employees. Think things like travel security: if the company sends you to Afghanistan…
towards China amidst this US destabilization of its world order offer unique regional perspectives.
and even Brookings putting out commentary on Trump’s “reshaping of the global order,” all within the last 24 hours. The speed with which this narrative has taken hold is staggering. Within the main US Asian alliances – Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines – the different tacks taken…
Even more news outlets are jumping on the “US allies turn to China” bandwagon, with the WaPo editorial board writing its own version, the FT, SCMP, and SMH running op-eds, CNN and Euronews running their analyses, and even Brookings putting out commentary…

AmCham Hong Kong’s annual business survey sentiment shows businesses feel better about Hong Kong now than in the last two years, while US allies are “resetting” towards China but not “realigning.”

Had to advise three of my coworkers today that they, as employees for a non-US investment firm with billions invested in the US, could not travel to Minneapolis for an investment deal because 2/3 of them are brown and they might be kidnapped, to say nothing of the “wrong place wrong time” risks

One of the greatest political memes I’ve ever seen. Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere
I was born in a neighborhood Where the whistles blow real good And those fascists in their hoods Thought they'd walk over us And every single day As my mom drove to the fray She'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus: Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons, Teli your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas! Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota! Text your ex how bravely you Shoved those grannies two by two, Your grenades and gas and guns against their whistles; Say you guard the USA From the non-white and the gay As you beg her for that child support dismissal Come out, La Migra goons... Come let us hear you, please How you hunted refugees How you sought them well and truly persecuted How you'd throw a teargas bomb How you murdered someone's mom When the Good you'll never match was executed Come out, La Migra goons... Come let us hear you say How you slaughtered our Renee For the crime of pride, for looking too empowered Where are those sneers and jeers That you loudly let us hear Claiming Ross shot not in hate but as a coward Come out, La Migra goons... The time will come at last (And we'll work to bring it fast) When every MAGA Nazi runs before us And if they drag their feet Our kids'll drive them from our streets With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus:| Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons, Tell your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas! Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!
Presumably you saw this going around
all is forgiven fight with us
I mean the other thing is that Fox et al. are going to be at an 11 no matter what you do (“the new administration showed its contempt for real Americans today by tearing down President Trump’s historic Presidential Hall of Fame!!!!”) so may as well swing for the fences and get shit done.
SEOUL (AP) — Yonhap agency says independent counsel seeks death sentence for ex-South Korean leader Yoon over martial law imposition.
