I cannot exaggerate to you that this 100% fulfils the negative perceptions of European governments that American isolationists have. The article says they cut Ukraine funding to fund social programs. The right-wing narrative in America is that needing to have the huge military is why we have a weak social safety net (not true btw, med4all for example would save Uncle Sam money) which is framed as "we pay for European social programs." But here's a government... literally cutting military spending in the middle of aiding a real war that could be highly consequential to the country in question to fund social programs.

How is an American supposed to argue in favor of funding the defense of Europe when the richest country in Europe doesn't want to fund the defense of Europe? If Germany gets to decide to go for "Germany first," how long until "Britain first?" "France first?" "Italy first?" Will Ukraine funding just be a hot potato that everyone will claim is important but nobody actually wants to do?

When European countries started raising military spending in response to a threat, it weakened American isolationist arguments. But this strengthens them. I hope no other European countries pull this shit.

If I can extend it to the brain, no family history of schizophrenia (I don't have it myself but it's the reason I intend to abstain from psychedelic drugs.)

He's not though.

Living in a state with universal mail-in voting, I honestly think I just don't understand how hard it is in states without that.

please tell me this is a joke

This isn't a far-left outlet.

(My opinion is that the best plan against fascism is the one someone is actually going to try and do, and so far American far-leftists haven't responded to fascism in the way they claim is necessary to defeat it.)

I thought it was "want you in my room when the baby is sick" until today

Poll headlines are fucking meaningless. Each day twenty of them with completely different and contradictory conclusions come out.

It's a gesture that ultimately doesn't mean much. It's basically a symbol that means "vaguely populist sentiment."

France really is just America in a different language and on a time delay.

Nobody in America believes "art will change the world" shit anymore. For good reason.

I personally think that's the only likely scenario where there'd be war on American soil.

Star Wars belongs firmly in the "science fantasy" category; it's a work that draws on both sci-fi and fantasy tropes.

When I got into Tsukihime I realized it was just Twilight for male 20 somethings, and that's when I finally understood

It's the lesser of two evils vs. for-profit dating apps.

"Threaten the rule of law" is what SovCits would like to think their movement is big enough to do.

Not exactly, but it's actively harmful to the universal healthcare movement on multiple levels to have people believe it would cost the government more money than they are already spending.

The fact that it would cost less is already counterintuitive.

Black voters aren't thrilled with Biden but dislike Trump more

Unfortunately there are only a few cities where this is a reasonable ask in the United States, and none I know of are in Texas. Most are in colder parts of the country.

The Texas state government's path forward here is to do what they can to pedestrianize and densify their cities, but that's a long term project.
