it's really bad for the world that half of the American political system has convinced itself that the concept of diplomacy is fake and gay

Iโ€™d rather they go back to hollowing out the federal government and stealing our data than kick off a global recession and world war 3.

Those were simpler times.

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donโ€™t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people โ€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

If itโ€™s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.

They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.

Yes, I know this administration has no bottom.

No class, no integrity, no honor, no decency.

Yet they never cease to shock me.

"British female track and field athletes are being asked to cover the cost of their own ยฃ185 sex tests if they want to compete internationally"

A tax on women courtesy of the Gender Critical.

We bombed a girls elementary school and this is how: no stupid rules of engagement.

And that, my guy, is yet another reason why you are the bad guy in this unprovoked war.

Iโ€™m shockedโ€”SHOCKED I sayโ€”that Trump and Elon spending months and months gutting every aspect of the federal government has led to services getting worse

I think we could easily fix this by giving Elon $40 billion MORE in taxpayer money so he can spread hatred of our government even farther online

The fall of patriarchal norms can't come soon enough! It's so last century.

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

What did they think would happen?

The US is being run by half-witsโ€ฆ

As Mark Steel said, "Yes, gay Jews and female plumbers are well known to be supported by sectarian groups like al Qaeda and the Taliban. Just go to Afghanistan and you can't move for female plumbers."

Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism
In fact it's evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering.
And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms.
The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.

Totally this.

The rightwing hate โ€œjournalistsโ€ are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.
