All of these can be true at the same time: 1) The suspension reversal was corrupt 2) No FIFA rules were violated (Art 27) 3) Art 27 is ridiculous 4) This is not nearly FIFA's most corrupt action 5) FIFA's history of corruption doesn't justify this corruption 6) The red card by VAR was BS

(THREAD) Let me reframe this. Blue states FUND red states as red states say that it is BLUE STATES that live off others. Blue states adhere to the CONSTITUTION as red states CLAIM to love it but undermine it at every turn. Red states adore the CONFEDERACY but lecture the rest of us on patriotism.

Important to note that the Congress in the most powerful country in the world has chosen to completely ignore a deepening global economic and political crisis flowing from Trump's failed war. No hearings, no legislation, no studies about mitigating the damage, rebuilding afterwards. Just this 👇

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. 

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Also, as multiple people have pointed out, the whole analysis ignores the impact of the RW mediasphere. Democrats are *perceived* as "too liberal" because Fox keeps *saying* they're too liberal, & the mainstream goes along. Dems talk affordability; Fox says they only talk about trans people.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it. A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.
