International Law is officially dead, by the West's own hand: The Polish PM declared he will ensure the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu's arrest will be ignored when he visits Poland. Meanwhile US Congress imposed sanctions on ICC officials.

Yes, the cashier at Target should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

i think they want an end to the for profit healthcare system man, not whatever you’re talking about.

i’m not saying nothing but it does seem like people are very mad about the healthcare situation in this country.

Many comments—including from Pod Save fans—praising them for inviting Hasan, saying he’s articulating things they’ve long felt + expressing contrasting frustration with the convo w/ top Harris staff.
Feels kinda like a longtime-coming debate now unfolding more openly. Neat stuff

A good ad for the importance of independent media
NEW POD
• @DanPfeiffer sits down with @jomalleydillon, @DavidPlouffe, @QuentinFulks, and @StefCutter to talk about the campaign’s roadmap, the voters they most needed to win over, why they fell short in the end, and what Democrats should do differently next time.

It’s a great quote, but the piece as a whole jumps on this new bandwagon of blaming ‘groups’ in the Dem coalition for defeat, and implying they control everything, rather than the billionaire class and special interests which have far more control on the modern Democratic Party.
Could not agree more with @AJentleson here:
“In politics, winning elections is the moral imperative. You go into this business to change people’s lives for the better. That means changing policy, and to change policy you have to win.
Those who would rather lose elections so that they can feel better about themselves leave the real suffering to the people they claim to fight for. No one wins when we lose. It is time to start winning again.”

this is literally the CURRENT democratic admins policy. instead of vote shaming (which demonstrably failed to draw turnout) staffers should be demanding the CURRENT democrat push for a ceasefire by withholding weapons. biden has nothing to lose. but he likes what israel is doing.

pretty telling that the entire liberal side of media has been blaming kamala’s electoral defeat on trans ppl & “woke” and not her refusal to separate from biden on gaza or running a nikki haley style campaign w liz cheney for the past week. can’t be more out of touch w reality.

israel and its neonazi soccer hooligans have a right to defend themselves after defending a genocide and doing hate crimes all over the streets of amsterdam!!!!!!!!!!
The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted.
We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.
We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.

Those soccer fans - or, more accurately, hooligans - were attacking people, ripping down Palestinian flags, and chanting happily that there are no kids left alive in Gaza. Oh, and it’s you and your administration that helped kill 16,000 Palestinian kids. That’ll be your legacy.

elon musks twitter has become so insane that ppl openly feel comfortable saying they will rape women
women threatening sex strikes like LMAO as if you have a say
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The OP implies that consent is not needed in order for a man to have sex with a woman. In the dictionary, that’s considered rape.

this pivot was always idealistic, not pragmatic. it cost her the momentum she had w the base that biden had left unenthused. they took regular dem constituencies for granted and lost millions of votes to the couch. ppl wanted to change, she gave them more biden + liz cheney!
blake_knee retweeted
Hard to pinpoint any particular one moment where she lost but this has to be high up on any list of potentials:
the Pod Bros need to figure out a set of goals or a vision for Crooked
just being a mouth piece for Dems to say “go vote” isn’t sustainable or working
they should’ve been the first to suggest Biden to step down
I’ve been refreshing my feed for the Pod Save episode like addict all day. It’s finally here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
