I remember someone had a map that was color coded by % of population on various welfare services that they were trying to use to dunk on conservatives because the highest states were red states, then someone else overlaid the % of population that was black and they were basically 1-1 copies of each other, that made the original map disappear pretty quickly. Basically a 100% chance that the ACA map turns out the same way if anyone cares enough to bother
that's applies to literally every map, it's a meme at this point. Any criticism of red states or America in general by leftist or foreigners is really just an unwitting critique of black people.

Why was aid even given to colombia in the first place.Surely they do not want dirty capitalist money yes?
Colombia was probably a different place back in the 90s when Clinton had some initiative going (fighting cartels, etc).
The world's a different place since then, especially Colombia; so it's time to update our ties with them.
 
Interesting article from The Hill: "Top admiral’s retirement sets off alarm bells over Caribbean boat strikes" (archive)

What I find most remarkable about this article is it buries the lede so it can criticize Trump and talk about identity politics: these drug boat strikes may be part of an ongoing escalation strategy with Venezula, and it brings up that Trump basically confirmed CIA operations in Venezuela. We don't need a nuclear submarine to support counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean, but we apparently have one there. Rather than highlight pretty serious military build-up, the article talks about it like this is bumbling around (rather than intentional) and talks about the questionable legality of it (as if the US, or anyone for that matter, has conducted wars legally this entire century).
The Venezuelan and the Columbian governments are going down. They are so in bed with the cartels this is the only way to seriously slow the opioid and illegal immigration problems. Fuck em, Monroe doctrine bitch.
they are being targeted by memes
But I'm a journalist. I can sling whatever shit I want on anyone and no one can even make fun of me because I'm the free press. I'm so oppressed.
what’s the point of fandoms anymore?
The point of fandoms have been to replace nations, family, and religions as identity makers. Replacing them with fiction which was controlled by the ruling class. That's why it all turned gay because that's the identity ruling class people wanted to foster.
[Democrats] don’t do anything because they’re not in power. That’s bulls**t. They want folks who will fight for them and will use different strategies to do that
Brown communists going mask off again. They have some power but illegals, fags, and cat women aren't gonna be enough to win federal power. Being a Democrat was enough in the past to be able to stand up to federal power but no longer in 2025.
 
lolno

Not even close

It's gotten so bad that everywhere I turn, there's a jeet. Like I have to physically avoid certain towns because they have completely taken over them.
(pl) I live in a big urban area, are they going into small towns or something? It’s noticeably cleared out over the past month or so.
 
I knew about it but the links aren't strong. it's mostly "bad person donated to him so you shouldn't like him"

Jack Dorsey endorsed Massie for president
Dude, that's a totally acceptable vector of attack. If it isn't a winning one for everyone, there are other reasons, but on it's face it can be truly effective.
 
Random thought: Does this mean any of their lawfare, like "No RIFs because you just aren't allowed to fire us, we didn't vote for you so you can't fire Nobility who no one voted for" crap, is frozen in place until the shutdown is undone? This would be easily weaponizable by the left by simply working for free -- they don't believe in money -- for a few hours a day to force infinite duration corrupt rulings through.

Either way, it's a day in Y so it sounds like an excellent time for Trump to just say fuckit, she made her ruling now enforce it.
So they're definitely bussing in people for these No Kings protests because there is no way everyone in New York has nothing to do on a Saturday but march around with signs.
Last time, the local media pointed out they weren't locals and were bussed in, so the local shitlibs (this is a red city in a red state, but they're trying to flip our capital blue and are getting dangerously close due to SLC Mormons and Californian fleeing roaches moving into the state) had a sad at them. Not enough to post a retraction, but I did have trouble finding the link afterwards when I went to share it, so maybe they just deleted the article.

So this time they apparently fucking filmed the bus arriving, them getting out, them standing around with pre paid signs for an hour, then them getting on the bus and heading off to the next town over. The locals have apparently clocked the same people at 3-4 different no kangz protests in the region, but I can't confirm that.

No further details (opsec), but I'm sure if Google hasn't intentionally hid the results it would be a trivial search.
