If he wins this will be why. A lot of people just want to go back to neutral. Long term I think this could be a disaster but I get the sentiment.
The right is advancing in a similar fashion to Adolph or post-war Russia and I think the only rational progressive response is a series of D-Days. Instead the thrust seems to be isolationism.
To drive this analogy into the ground I feel a lot like FDR before Pearl Harbor. Shit is coming and we need to be on war footing.

oh hey look what i said just this morning
"i said the youth would turn out but they didn't, but i assure you they will in the general" is not a strong argument, on par with "the republicans will come to their senses if i win."

i really resent how many people on the left keep propping up this iraq war hooligan. stop doing it.
i dont care how much you may love or loathe sanders, these people - frum, rick wilson, jennifer rubin, bill kristol, etc. are *the worst*. theyre the ones who built the pile that trump stands on. they built it with reagan and bush and with aid from mccain and romney.
no, they aren't the soviets allied with us against the nazis. give me a break.

Spent time with my Bernie-supporting friend last night who still believes the Dem Party is “suppressing support for Bernie” + that Warren is a liar who “can’t not keep shooting herself in the foot” + “does NOT have the same policies” as Bernie. Zero interest in unity v. Trump🧵
And don’t even ask what he had to say about our other candidates 😳 It has me so depressed I can’t stop thinking about it. There is so much evidence proving that a divisive primary can + will weaken our eventual nominees’s ability to win the general.
It happened in 16 +could happen again unless we find a way to unify against Trump ASAP. Our org +others helping to fill in for a nominee by taking the fight to Trump, we’re not spending time or resources on this challenge +I honestly don’t know what that would look like if we did

1) It’s high time I made a thread on Jeffrey Epstein and his pals’ connections to funding medical institutes and sitting on the boards hospitals, med schools, and think tanks. The tentacles of the Meyer Lansky crime/dope inc syndicate he inherited are vast and global.
2). Those tentacles stretch across various industies but a common theme continues to revolve around the medical industry, big Pharma, high finance and the art world. The veneer of “philanthropy” masks the stains of organized crime, ruined lives, and destabilized countries.
3) In this thread I will cover Epstein’s pals #Black, #Wexner, #Lauder, #Geffen, #Tisch, #Bronfman, #Dubin, #Riklis, #LdFR, #Milken, #Pritzker, #Rosenstiel etc. and specifically their connections to medicine and art philanthropy. Let’s begin!

Taegi au where Yoongi is looking for some particular background vocals for his mixtape. ImageImageImageImage
“Wait,” Taehyung says, noodles half in his mouth and half in his ramen cup. “You want me to do what?”
Yoongi shrugs, doesn’t even bother to look up from his own up of ramen.
“Jerk off in the recording studio.”
So he did hear Yoongi correctly the first time.
“Okay.” Taehyung puts his chopsticks down and pushes his noodles away. “Why do you want me to do this?”

Yoongi shrugs again, keeps eating, even though Taehyung has used his most serious voice, his “hey hyung, look at me because you just asked something fucking weird” voice.

All too often, Jeongguk finds himself scrolling through his DMs on TWITCH. Deleting message after message after message.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to him, with how popular his channel has gotten over the last few months.
It’s just frustrating trying to set up a live stream with constant pings wanting to dual-stream or collab. It’s all about clout and he’s honestly over it.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Spent Saturday evening witnessing Guatemalan asylum seeker Hermelindo Che Coc reuniting with his six-year-old son Jefferson Che Pop after they were separated for nearly two months under President Trump’s ‘zero-tolerance’ immigration policy. 📸 ⬇️ goo.gl/aEEP9U
Before the reunion, Hermelindo mopped floors & washed bed sheets at the home in the L.A. area where he was staying. He cooked his favorite chicken dish. He bought new Spiderman themed clothes. “I want him to walk in here and know he’s home,” Hermelindo said.
Translation for certain phrases are scribbled down on paper as Hermelindo prepares for his reunion at LAX. “I’m his papa and we’ll always be together.” #yoquierominiño
