The US electoral system is the single-largest scheme of voluntary upward wealth redistribution ever invented. Thousands of people sacrificing their hard-won paychecks so their candidate can hand it to the owner of the Las Vegas Sphere.
Wait wait wait. The Harris campaign existed for ~100 days, raised over a billion dollars, spent $450,000 a day on one ad on the Last Vegas Sphere, had at least a half dozen high budget concerts with like Katy Perry or whatever, now it's $20 million in debt and can't pay staff?.

Good morning from Palestine 🇵🇸. This is my first dispatch from the @ProgIntl delegation. We have been here for less than 24 hours, but the message is already clear: “The world has failed us.” Executions, expulsions, torture, and incarceration – all atop the rubble of a genocide

Greetings from Palestine 🇵🇸. This is my second dispatch from the @ProgIntl delegation. Since the first, our delegation has departed Ramallah to traverse the West Bank — and become witnesses to the daily terror unleashed by Israeli armed forces on Palestinian cities, towns, and

Far too little, far too late. @POTUS removing Cuba's SSOT designation in the final days of his presidency only means one thing:. He knew – from day one – that the designation was simply an excuse to punish the Cuban people. But he maintained it anyway. Sickening.
BREAKING 🇨🇺🇺🇸 After four years in the White House, the Biden administration has announced that it will remove Donald Trump's 2021 designation of Cuba as a "State Sponsor of Terrorism," AP reports.

Macron betrayed the will of the people. Now, his chosen government becomes the shortest-tenured in the history of France’s Fifth Republic.
BREAKING 🇫🇷 The French government of Michel Barnier has fallen. The government was formed following a pact between President Emmanuel Macron and the far-right leader Marine Le Pen. Today marks the first successful no-confidence vote in France in over 60 years.

Hello. This is my third dispatch from the @ProgIntl delegation to Palestine 🇵🇸. The findings of the delegation may be preliminary, but they already point to a very clear conclusion about Israel’s true intentions: From Gaza to the West Bank, annexation is its goal, ethnic

Good afternoon. This is my fourth and final dispatch from the @ProgIntl delegation to Palestine 🇵🇸. From start to finish – in city halls and UNRWA offices, olive gardens and refugee camps – the message to our delegation has been consistent: The fate of Palestine is the fate of

On a day like this — with both governments in Germany 🇩🇪 and France 🇫🇷 falling as a direct result of the political economy of austerity — it is worth remembering that these were predictable outcomes, that @yanisvaroufakis predicted them, and that they never forgave him for it.

And here we arrive at a critical test of Western double standards. How will the US and EU respond to a regional power* espousing irredentist fantasies* and citing “security” concerns* to justify violating the territorial sovereignty* of a vulnerable neighboring nation*?.
Erdogan says “Turkey is bigger than Turkey and we, as a nation, cannot limit our horizon to 782,000 square kilometers.” He says this in reference to Syria. From his point of view, timing is perfect to launch an operation against YPG.

Only Macron is shameless enough to condemn the "Reactionary International" and expect us to forget his central role in its rise to power 🤡.
Macron denounces Elon Musk's "unacceptable interference" in European democracies by supporting "a new reactionary international". He's the 4th European leader in the last day to speak against Musk following Olaf Scholz, Keir Starmer & Jonas Gahr Støre. Action must follow words.

Anyone who believes that Trump 2.0 foreign policy will “build roads” and “feed poor people” is beyond delusional. They refuse to do those things at home! We are about to see empire in overdrive – less adroit, yes, but no less violent than its “Democratic” variant. Get real.
🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳 BREAKING: Vice President-elect JD Vance states “We have built a foreign policy of hectoring, moralizing, and lecturing countries that don’t want anything to do with it. The Chinese have a foreign policy of building roads and bridges and feeding poor people.". Follow:

All due respect, @MacaesBruno, the world absolutely failed Palestinians. The degree of int'l complicity goes far beyond US bombs and bullets — from purchasing Israel's technology to providing it natural resources to protecting its diplomatic status on the world stage. Shame.
The world did not fail Palestinians. Two countries committed these horrors and two others (Britain and Germany) helped. The world was horrified.

This is a BOMBSHELL investigation 🇮🇹. Born of yet another research collab between the @palyouthmvmt & the @ProgIntl to expose international complicity in Israel’s genocide — and brought to life by the fearless @SMaurizi. I am very proud to see it published 🔥.
BREAKING 🇮🇹🇮🇱 A new investigation by the @ProgIntl and @SMaurizi reveals Italy’s role in supplying arms, airspace, and intelligence for Israel’s genocide in Gaza – despite Giorgia Meloni’s proclamation of an “arms embargo”. Via @fattoquotidiano ⏬

This is not Kamala’s fault btw. She worked her ass off to a beautiful campaign with the ~100 days she had. She’s arguably the most qualified US presidential candidate ever, with prior experience in all 3 branches of government. Americans simply voted against their best interest.

Incredible. A departing gesture of Atlanticist loyalty from the Biden Administration 🫡.
BREAKING 🇪🇸🇵🇸 The US has threatened to sanction Spain for banning ships carrying weapons for Israel from stopping at its ports. The @ProgIntl and the @PalYouthMvmt denounce the criminalization of solidarity with Palestine — and the flagrant violation of Spain's sovereignty.

Does anyone know who actually writes these tweets? . We know it's not the president. I just want to get inside the beautiful mind that can craft a message so tone-deaf to the world crumbling around us.
There is no country on Earth better positioned to lead the world in the years to come than America today.

I spoke to @jhensonpogue for his epic longread on the Democratic Party’s world-historic failure — and what is to be done about it. Tl;dr 🇲🇽 Start by looking South. Read now in @VanityFair ⏬
“Democrats have needed a wake-up call now for some time.”. With 2024 in the rearview, VF’s @jhensonpogue examines the Democratic Party’s current state of “disarray”—and whether they can ever wrestle the country back from Trumpism.

All due respect, @matthiasellis, yes we do. Coups succeed or fail on the allegiance of armed forces, which defend established interests. As democracies have been disciplined away from any real threat to those interests, so armed forces today see no need to support coup attempts.
everyone is worried about Fascism On The Rise but nobody seems to have a good theory for why every attempted coup around the world over the past few years has been an embarrassing failure orchestrated by complete morons.
