Watch Vote Blue No Matter Who meltdown over the existence of Zohran Mamdani, should completely undercut anyone who goes "but Hillary" or "but Harris". It's should really be plainly obvious now that preserving evil is the whole point of lesser evilism.
US shitlibs are now at the point "it's genocide, but..." and there should be no more pretences anyone needs to entertain that position when Zohran is out there showing you can win by being a principled lefty.
And you can win an election built on a foundation of white supremacist capitalism even though you never said "Death, Death to the IDF" or "Globalize the Intifada".

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Trump will doch weiter Waffen an Ukraine liefern ++
Nach einem zwischenzeitlichen Stopp hat US-Präsident Trump angekündigt, die USA werde weiterhin Waffen an die Ukraine zu liefern. Der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj will die Drohnenproduktion ausweiten.
Das steht zwar nicht ausdrücklich so da, aber ich wette, genau das war der wahre Grund für den Stopp der Waffenlieferungen:
Trump fühlte sich offenbar von einer Frau (Markarowa, der ukrainischen Botschafterin in Washington seit 2021), persönlich angegriffen oder bloßgestellt. Vermutlich, weil sie ein zu gutes Verhältnis zu den Demokraten hatte? 🙄
Was für ein unsicheres, kleines Männchen. 🤦🏻
Seine tägliche, persönliche Stimmung entscheidet über Leben und Tod.

in reply to 👑QueenLavendel💜 • • •Das Bild zeigt eine elegante Frau, die in einem luxuriösen Restaurant sitzt. Sie trägt eine steampunk-stylisierte Kopfbedeckung mit Uhren und eine Sonnenbrille mit gelben Rahmen. Ihre Haare sind kunstvoll hochgesteckt und mit steampunk-ähnlichen Accessoires verziert. Sie ist in ein schwarzes Kleid mit einem tiefen Ausschnitt gekleidet und trägt eine auffällige Juwelenkette mit einem Turquoisstein.
Die Frau sitzt an einem Tisch, auf dem ein Glas mit einem gelben Getränk, vermutlich Wein, und ein kleines Gebäckstück liegen. Neben ihr steht ein weiteres Glas, möglicherweise mit Champagner. Auf dem Tisch befindet sich auch ein silberner Krug, der wahrscheinlich zum Servieren von Wein oder Essig dient.
Im Hintergrund ist ein großes Uhrwerk zu sehen, das die Zeit anzeigt, und eine warme Beleuchtung, die eine gemütliche Atmosphäre schafft. Die Einrichtung des Restaurants ist elegant und klassisch, mit hohen Decken und kunstvollen Lampen. Die Farben des Bildes sind warm und einladend, mit einem dominierenden Blaugrün, das die Szene umgibt.
