can you find one thing Graham Platner has said or done that is associated with the far right other than the Totenkopf tattoo or saying he's a big fan of an obscure antisemitic gun podcast called Valhalla VFT or joining Blackwater or
More than 1,000 American nurses have successfully applied for licensure in British Columbia since April, a huge increase over prior years. Ontario and Alberta have also seen interest from Americans.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

I don't have to think this war is justified at all to say that Iran can hardly be surprised Ukraine doesnt like it after it LITERALLY COMPLETELY WITHOUT REASON backed Russia throughout its own invasion of Ukraine up to the hilt.
the insanity of QAnon wasn’t the existence of a group of wealthy elite sexual abusers, it was the idea that Donald Trump wasn’t part of it
if you knew anything about the guy you would assume if he wasn’t part of it already then joining it would be his life goal
tapping the "people underestimate how many of our society's elites are motivated not by self-interest, but by sadism" sign
Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get
"Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023."
“A lot of people in general feel really comfortable being racist.” 1/
this is explicitly genocidal
theories of mass delusion are always theories of feminine delusion. they're structurally parasitic on notions of hysteria, of feminine passivity and impressionability, even when applied to groups of men. the foundations of mass psychology and crowd behavior rest explicitly on the comparison.
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.
tbh, I don’t get why people are going “omg read the article” about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.
My latest on Russia assisting Iran in targeting U.S. troops and interests.
And a reminder on how Russia did this before in Afghanistan, when they offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill Americans.
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
⚡️Update: Explosions rock Kyiv, 2 killed in Kharkiv as Russia strikes residential building.
Russian ballistic missiles and drones attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, where two people were killed and 10 were injured overnight on March 7, authorities reported.
Max Blumenthal and Jimmy Dore push the neonazi-coined "ZOG" conspiracy.
JD: "If you say that our government is occupied by Zionists, then that's just straight out of the mouth of white nationalists, white supremacists. Even though it's true. White nationalists also say 2+2=4."

Holy shit
no way he unironically did the “some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make” bit
As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.
That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate
wow she actually used to look like a real human?
morbidly curious about which wars of the past were "politically correct"
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
You think it might be worth bringing back the public editor?
if you think that this sounds like a 6 year old having the stupidest tantrum you ever saw, consider that is because that is the cognitive level of this guy and his fanbase. And he knows it. It isn't even misplaced confidence. It's pure unadulterated bullshit from a mental mediocre who knows it
The desire for a politician who would “run the country like a business”—which is to say, like a dictatorship—has always been an autocratic fantasy.
Now Trump aims to run the whole world "like a business"—dictatorial control, endless expansion, ceaseless profiteering.
