  1. Again, I don't know much about the NYC mayoral candidates but good grief this ap news coverage. and this is the AP. So immediately, progressive = non-pragmatic. Right there. Holy crap. The ICC, Amnesty International, e.t.c. all use that term. Only in America is this somehow a controversy. Yikes on the third way. And goddamn worrying about what Republicans think. Seriously. Welp, now I guess w/o knowing anything I'm pro-Mr. Mamdani. If something seriously wrong with him comes out I reserve the right to change my mind. Of course, over here in Oregon my thoughts on the mayor of NYC mean zilch.
  2. huh. I wonder who was the mayor of NYC when 9/11 actually happened?
  3. A bit of good news. I know, the struggle isn't over (Lee has already said he's going to try again) , but anything positive these days seems worth celebrating. https://newrepublic.com/post/197167/republicans-remove-sale-public-lands-budget-bill
  4. I confess to not following the NYC Mayoral campaign closely. But AIPAC is fucking PISSED.
  5. Right. Thus my question. But never mind.
  6. Holy shit. You think Iran was the bully in this? You think Iran is the crazy murderous state in the region? Wow.
  7. Trump’s announcement in full https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/23/live-iran-vows-to-respond-to-us-attacks-trump-hints-at-regime-change
  8. He's going to make it into his 90s like Kissinger and Pat Robertson. But it is yet another item in the 'wild' category that our mango dictator is 79 freaking years old.
  9. OK, a bit more internet. This is 3 years old but yeah.
  10. well that’s enough internet for the day.
  11. https://trumpgolftrack.com/ 33 out 150 days so far playing golf.
  12. Thanks for recognizing the salient part of the post.
  13. (in answer to those who think we should applaud Israel. )

  15. They hate public land. One of the reasons I moved here. Fuckers. https://www.yahoo.com/news/millions-acres-public-land-could-030001640.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABbvfeWmccKWy3TI3dO3qYeyygVR2axC2K00MqqPG23Qa2vSJLXfbak-VxiNY-kUJEE-lYwyT4yJBK3JaGUYzMorMG_cseI0QR8WjoT0paU1nHIFnP1i5zU87Tuv6T2K-IlfXCoqQZlpHOksySUilJpfyVXocnqd3kUNo4dDgqk6 Sorry for the format of that link. On a phone. same with this one—map of it all. https://wilderness.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=821970f0212d46d7aa854718aac42310&fbclid=IwY2xjawK_yvtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFOdDVvV3o2TkI5ekpmWTdmAR5BziKBfAUYI1QV62MamJBnbkoN_mMXZiBEq4y4l7SvSMDNr8-gWfmz20Admg_aem_NGshSoezOw-luVtj42ECyw
  16. This is a long-ish read. And it isn't specific to this thread. But it's on my mind a lot these days. The Rise of End Times Fascism By Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
  17. This country is cooked. Full on fascist rule.
  18. You don't need to go to deep to see the things that were covered every day in broad daylight and nobody cared. I'm thinking Elon and the 290 million he spent. And the dumb voter lottery fake out thing he pulled. Thought I read somewhere that the winners were plants and they didn't get paid. Could be wrong. Anyway the very allowance of the amount of money in elections from billionaires openly seeking buying influence should be the issue imo. Not some questionable thing in New York which wouldn't have changed the national outcome anyway but for some reason reddit has glomed on to as an 'election was stolen!' story.
  19. OK, you're right. I was stream of consciousness posting. Sorry for any offense caused. Security operations in the places listed stood out to me. (edit: trimming my babbling). I'll quit speculating.
  20. "Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world's largest food company based in Switzerland and the world's largest convenience retailer based in Japan. " Nestle thing too. Maybe its a wannabe, dunno.

  22. https://www.mnafricansunited.org/notid/dr.-vance-boelter-e.d.d. kind of reads like a merc bio.
  23. All that said, I would hate to lose a good amigo. Esp one who puts up with my rants and venting over beers. Be careful out there please.
