Ukraine seems to have ended up with a good leader doing that. 😉

Labor is labor. Stay united, comrades!

They weren’t even photoshopped. They were literally just indicating the meaning of each tattoo. Which they of course said were MS13.

It lists a whole bunch of reasonable things to prioritize, but then ends with:

It depends on context.

Portugal only has one border, with Spain. Spain is much bigger in all ways, and they don’t want people to be coerced into giving up their Portugese citizenship, so they made it impossible. I am basically okay with this

The right wing has no actual ideology except power. They will happily nationalize anything that is mildly convenient, moans of “socialism” vanishing like the morning mist once Fox hands out talking points for a few days.

I mean, that’s coming eventually.

Musk is a US citizen though.
