A shameful episode thats already been forgotten about
This is also the result of âboth are equally badâ rhetoric. Sometimes a lesser evil is correct in both terms
A year has passed since the beginning of El-Fasher massacre, one of the worst episodes of ethnic-based genocide since Rwanda genocide three decades ago.
Rapid Support Forces, a UAE-sponsored militia waging brutal war against Sudan's military government has long before then been accused of ethnic cleansing of Darfur region. They targeted and killed non-Arab inhabitants of the region for years, but on October 26, 2025, when besieged city of El-Fasher fell to the militia, violence reached an unprecedented level of brutality.
Tens of thousands of civilians were systematically gunned down in the streets, in hospitals and while trying to flee the city. Many militants filmed themselves commiting the massacre, and then subsequently published said videos online.
Piles of bodies and gigantic blood stains on the desert were visible from space on satellite imagery. Yet despite overwhelming evidence, and brutality unheard of in decades, the massacre was mostly under-reported in the Western media sphere.
UAE continues to sponsor RSF to this day.
May the world never forget.

A biological attack is planned for Saturday
600 million pounds of sugar laced with synthetic chemicals will enter the bodies of our children.
Wreaking metabolic havoc, injuring vascular architecture, acidifying oral lining, releasing bacterial toxins, and blunting neural reward pathways.
Instructing that gluttonous consumption of poison is celebratory.

My oil analyst told me The Irgc kept eating his tankers so I asked how many tankers he has and he said he just goes to the gulf and gets a new ta ker afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding tankers to the Irgc and then his captains started crying."

It seems to be that two political theories of the last decade have both been proven true at the same time:
1) the centrist Democrats have not actually brought over a reliable, significant number of centrist Republicans. The vast majority of Rs still think that any R is better than any D and simply hold their noses no matter how awful. We still haven't found a bottom of how low they will sink.
2) When more left-wing candidates have run, the theory that moving to the left will attract new voters who are energized by liberal populism has not really shown up in election results either, with a few exceptions in already liberal areas.
I think that part of the internal struggle of the Democratic party is that neither its centrist nor left leaning wings have been able to grow the party in sustainable ways. We are all still just fighting over the same 2-3% of anti-incumbent swing voters each cycle.
Does that seem right?

Well, I would be happy to tell Milosevic or Qaddafi, but they arenât available at the moment. My understanding is you have excellent communication with where they are, though.
