You can see how, before we even get to the arguments, just the attitude on display here is likely to provoke irritation, because it is condescending and smug. When Yglesias writes of the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” he is not taking seriously the possibility that this woman could be correct: that she has been persuaded by the International Court of Justice filings showing evidence that Israel is engaged in genocide and posts “obsessively” because she sees genocide as morally urgent. Instead, there is an implication that this person is somehow mentally unwell. Indeed, Yglesias’s reaction to seeing a poem about the Gaza genocide is that it shows the “increasingly porous boundaries between mental illness and leftwing politics.” Setting aside the question of whether Yglesias is persuaded by the ICJ case against Israel, this is the attitude of an asshole.

We should show the same level of respect for the opinions of Matt Yglesias and his ilk that he shows for the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” that is to say, none at all.

This is like the 3 time I've shit myself on accident this year, every time it happens I go to fart and push a little too hard and soil myself. now it has me worried I'm dying.

Currently, Martial Law has been in place for about 5 hours and President Yoon claims he intends to formally lift it once he convenes his cabinet. Bonus points if you get it down to the minute!

Two fun facts: in the 1920's 1 out of ever 7 long islanders was a member of the KKK, and to this day Nassau and Suffolk are in the top 10 to top 5 most segregated counties in the country.

There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken previously lauded Yoon

While the Biden administration has thus far remained mostly silent on Yoon’s declaration of martial law, US officials have praised the president at events in recent months, including a pro-democracy summit that his government hosted in March.

“President Yoon has said that the United States and Korea are marching together toward the future. Today is another reflection of the work that we’re doing together, the fact that we are joined together in building a better, more secure, more prosperous future for all of our people,” Blinken said at a news event in October.

At a state luncheon honouring Yoon in April 2023, Blinken, known to incorporate music into his public appearances, complimented Yoon on his own singing skills, saying that he had “brought down the house” when he sang the song American Pie at a previous event.

The quote in this picture above is an excerpt from a letter Sheinbaum wrote to Trump regarding recent statements about drugs from, tariffs on, and migration through Mexico.

Full letter+translation here. Some great quotes and I’d highly recommend reading.

Translation:

Dear President-elect Donald Trump,

I am writing to you regarding your statement on Monday, November 25, concerning migration, fentanyl trafficking, and tariffs.

You may not be aware that Mexico has developed a comprehensive policy to assist migrants from different parts of the world who cross our territory en route to the southern border of the United States. As a result, and according to data from your country’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP), encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75% between December 2023 and November 2024. Moreover, half of those who arrive do so through a legally scheduled appointment under the United States’ CBP One program. For these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border.

Even so, it is clear that we must work together to create a new labor mobility model that is necessary for your country, as well as address the root causes that compel families to leave their homes out of necessity. If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility.

On another note, and for humanitarian reasons, Mexico has consistently expressed its willingness to help prevent the fentanyl epidemic in the United States from continuing. This is, after all, a public health and consumption problem within your society. So far this year, Mexican armed forces and prosecutors have seized tons of various types of drugs, 10,340 firearms, and have detained 15,640 individuals for violence related to drug trafficking.

Furthermore, the Mexican Congress is in the process of approving a constitutional reform to classify the production, distribution, and commercialization of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs as a serious crime without bail. However, it is publicly known that the chemical precursors used to produce this and other synthetic drugs are illegally entering Canada, the United States, and Mexico from Asian countries. This underscores the urgent need for international collaboration.

You must also be aware of the illegal trafficking of firearms into my country from the United States.

Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.

President Trump, migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs. What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges.

For every tariff, there will be a response in kind, until we put at risk our shared enterprises. Yes, shared. For instance, among Mexico’s main exporters to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago. Why impose a tariff that would jeopardize them? Such a measure would be unacceptable and would lead to inflation and job losses in both the United States and Mexico.

I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs. For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions.

Since this letter, Trump and Sheinbaum have had a phone call that Trump said was productive.

This is being flaunted in conservative circles as a huge Trump win before he is even president, when the reality is that this is just Sheinbaum hilariously telling Trump the same things she wrote about in her letter, and that Mexico has already been addressing all of his issues of concern.
