🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

We stopped posting our donors because we didn’t want Trump to come after them simply because they gave to CAP and lo and behold in August he attacked our donors by name on Truth Social. It just turned out to be a wrong
list because we didn’t publish them. In retrospect a smart move for our sustainability.
This attack was part of his threat of a $5 billion lawsuit
Such a privileged opinion. You wish it were chaotic in the streets, invariably leading to innocent death and injury as has happened in France. So you could feel like America is being cool
It's so crazy to me that this guy and many others literally say "my critics are all secretly Israel" and so many people respond "yes sir"

This is literally settler colonialism but you wont see leftist outrage, we all know why

“…when he invited me on his show, I invited him to instead do an interview with The Atlantic. He accepted, before postponing the interview and then ultimately canceling it.”

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea.
The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring.

Last night I was struck — really, almost radicalized — watching in real time as experts at the heights of their careers boosted emotionally satisfying narratives that were pretty much entirely wrong.

Chait goes to the heart of what’s dangerous about Piker: not his language but his commitment to the century-old communist strategy of subversion. His stated intent is to take over the Democratic Party and then like some parasite leave it as a dead husk, replacing it with the kind of authoritarian communist/socialist regime he openly admires: China, North Korea, Cuba, the Soviet Union.
Like his forebears going back to Lenin and Castro he explicitly does not believe in democracy - except as a temporary means to power.

There is zero political benefit and ultimately marginal personal benefit to Trump’s support of Putin. Pop psychology theories about it ultimately don’t make that much sense. He is subservient to Putin for an unknown reason.

Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged.
Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.
The issue isn't even that he doesn't know this stuff. It's that he doesn't know this stuff but he DOES know intricate details about Jewish DNA

I have never met an American outside of the Ukraine space that knows what the Human Safari is. Every effort should be made to raise awareness to what Russia does daily in Kherson, and increasingly outside it.
Lying. He NEVER told people to not vote for Jill Stein
Adam Mockler asks Hasan if he regrets not endorsing Kamala in 2024
"People were yelling at Tom Morello earlier as well..he didn't even vote for Kamala..no, as far as not endorsing..I don't think my endorsement of Kamala Harris would have changed the needle all that much..I still stand by my decision..I told people not to vote for Donald Trump obviously or Jill Stein"
"It's understandable to draw a red line around gen*cide and the continuation of it..especially bc a Democratic Party that was willing to continue the wholesale sl*ughter of children was not going to be adept at defending democracy anyway..they kind of proved that in the aftermath of the Trump victory"

By far Hasan Piker's most pathetic trait is the way he demands people around him defend every single thing he says or does
Hasan criticizes Zohran for not defending him publicly over being labeled as racist and hateful
"Incredibly hateful remarks? And then she ofc presents it as anti black, racist, and Nithya can't turn around and be like, I'm not gonna go on a f'in racist neon*zi show, and Hasan is not a racist neon*zi, he is anti racist..this is the thing that we have to like eventually combat. It's not the right time and Nithya is not the right person to do this"
"If there's one guy who could do it, it's Zohran Mamdani. And given how he's conducted himself so far on this issue in NYC, I doubt that's ever going to happen..but if there's one person who has the charisma and the social capital to be able to parse through these ridiculous conversations, it's him. And clearly even he's not up to the task given the way he's operating, but eventually we will move the needle"
"Ofc he's going to catch passive strays, the antisemitism roll out, imo, has been a spectacular disaster..we have to also hold those in our movement that get elected in positions of power to account"
