Donald fucking in the Oval Office is clearly what triggers the opening of the gates of hell.

It’s important. So many of my leftist acquaintances have picked up this kind of rhetoric. I think it’s because the horror of what’s happened and what’s continuing to happen is too distressing for them, so they’d rather buy into the propaganda and pretend an Assad victory is a good thing. And every time they make these…

Thank you for this noble, if undoubtedly hopeless, attempt at countering the staggering ignorance on display.

Oh, what a good leftist you are, going to bat in internet comments sections for dictators who gas children.

Ah. I wasn’t sure — the article said “reportedly,” and then it mentioned the BBC piece which tried to investigate Bana’s English skills, so I thought maybe there was some suggestion she wrote the tweets herself. Which, to me, would be quite plausible.

Oh, absolutely. I meant the command of English, though. Young kids pick that shit up fast.

Seriously. As someone who’s worked with Syrian refugee kids, this sounds exactly like what I’ve heard children that age express.

Fuck Assad, and fuck the amoral bastards on the right and the left (looking at you, Tulsi Gabbard!) who’ve enabled him to turn his country into a charnel house.

Hilariously, I didn’t even know the Christmas market was a thing when I moved here! I’m very excited though — and you’re right, it’s a great city to begin with.

LOL, literally where I live now (salut, Strasbourg!) and the two most recent places I also lived in.

Yeah, if it’s legislation the Trump White House supports. I’m sorry, but basically short of nuclear war, nothing is more important than stamping out the legitimation of white racism in American politics. We give that up, and that’s the ballgame.

Guys. We need to not work with this man. We need to resist him on everything. Meeting Trump on ANY issue legitimizes him on EVERY issue. The more we make him look like a politician who can successfully work our system, the more we signal that white racism has a place in American political discouse. @SamAdlerBell has…

No thanks.

Oh, trust me, I have. (Hi, I was living in Marseille this summer!) But English football culture, as excessive and distasteful as it is, is part of a decades-old working-class tradition that actually does draw on a genuine virulent nationalism. There’s a history there that’s really lacking in American soccer…

Yay! Spread the word — it’s a win-win for everyone in the city!

Cuomo is a corrupt fucking dick who’s basically personally responsible for New York’s legislature not looking like California. We have a Republican Senate because he still would rather use divided government as a shield to prevent him from having to take a stance on any positions that he deems too politically leftist…

What I think is complicated, I admit, and not entirely clear even to me.

The weird pseudo-ironic jingoism of American soccer fans is gross and needs to stop. In 2016, there’s no such thing as “chauvinist, but in a winking way.”

New Yorkers: get yourself an IDNYC card! They get you awesome discounts at a ton of entertainment venues throughout the city, and that way anyone who tries to use it to snuff out vulnerable people will be buried in data! http://www1.nyc.gov/site/idnyc/index.page
