This "Gulf of America" is just another fascist loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up into camps or look the other way while you do it. Anyone who won't puts themselves on the round-up list.

Pro-Justice Voters: USA must stop arming Netanyahu. It is immoral & illegal, its genocide, & it will lose the POTUS election.

Establishment Dems: So you think Trump is better?

PJ: No! He's a fascist. We cannot let him win. Genocide is a losing issue. Stop arming Netanyahu.

ED: If you want Trump to win just say so

PJ: WE DON'T. HE'S A FASCIST. JUST STOP GENOCIDE. 30 POLLS SHOW ITS A LOSING ISSUES. 77% OF DEMS WANT IT TO STOP.

ED: ...Nah

[Trump wins]

ED: I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY! FAFO!

PJ: 🤦‍♂️

Billionaires didn't become billionaires by caring about people. They became billionaires by exploiting people.

So when you see billionaires work to dismantle the CFPB, US AID, NIH, CDC, and social welfare programs in general, know that it isn't because they think it'll help people.

It's because all they know how to do is exploit.

That's who they are.

44 million Ukrainians have been attacked by a ruthless dictator. European countries have invested 125 billion euro in defeating Russia. But forget all that, because a Fox News host says that defending democracy is not realistic, and this whole war thing is too expensive anyway.

It is time for the democratic countries to decouple from the failed US leadership and take the lead.

Russia must be defeated.

Instead of dreaming of making a fortune out of the tragedy and deaths of civilians in Gaza [..] Trump should be standing in the dock alongside Israel’s leader Netanyahu for war crimes.

The ICC has already issued a warrant for Netanyahu and he should have been arrested the moment he stepped off the plane in the USA.

Trump’s decision to ignore the ICC means that – as we already know – the USA does not respect international law.

Hospitals in Denver have all pulled their care for youth trans patients. The Feds made it impossible to bill the government for ANY care rendered if you also provide this care. Hospitals have all decided to sacrifice trans adults and kids to preserve the hospitals.

The problem with this strategy is that the bad guys will come for contraception, HIV care, immigrants in hospitals. They’ll keep making us sacrifice one group at a time.

We are handing over Anne Frank “to preserve the mission”.
