My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

Very easy

President Trump’s raised prices with his tariff taxes, shut down the government, allowed healthcare costs to skyrocket — meanwhile he’s sending your tax $ abroad to bail out Argentina & wants to “run” Venezuela to help his buddies in the oil industry. So much for America first.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. He also decided to raid Venezuela because Maduro was dancing on TV. He doesn’t make decisions based on the reality on the ground - he makes decisions based on his ego. Always.

This was from over a month ago but is even more appropriate today:

Preferred pronouns…priceless

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore." Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found. www.the-reframe.com/apologies-fo...

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

Too early to trust AI with serious stuff. I’ve even heard the FBI is using it for testing & checking their security programs! Stupid!

*This* is your story, journalists. Erik Prince? Kirill Dmitriev? Eduardo Bolsonaro? I promise you, the answer to this mystery is horrifying. Someone worked behind the scenes to betray the Venezuelan people and ensure that Venezuela remained a dictatorship. And Trump acquiesced.

He has already proved that he probably WILL - in fact I’d say it’s certain. He wants them out & will claim that new government is worth going back for. Watch

What Trump did was monstrous—a coup to enrich himself and his pals. NYT: "In Rodríguez, Trump engages a leader of a government he has labeled illegitimate—while abandoning Machado, whose movement won an election last year in a victory widely recognized as stolen by Maduro."

In Trump's press conference Saturday on Venezuela he mentioned the word "oil" more than 25 times. How many times did he mention "democracy" or "freedom" for the people of Venezuela? ZERO!

Mfer couldn’t even run his own country and we speak English!

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

This! THIS! T H I S‼️

This seems rather important

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

Mmm, I don’t think so. And yes, I believe DonOld would do <anything> right now to distract from the #EpsteinFiles. ANYTHING He has no scruples, no morals, no bottom & no integrity

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

But if it distracts from the #EpsteinFiles, DonOld is willing to

Actions have consequences 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes. Target stopped getting my money when they threw African American people and LGBTQ+ people under the bus. I don't picture that stopping just because they found out there were consequences.

Roberts can be impeached too. There’s a first time for everything! Any justice who’s been making money off their position should be removed TBH. Yes, it will be hard. DO IT ANYWAY‼️ Sheesh, just put those parenting skills to work, grit your teeth & DO IT! Or the next asshole will be worse than Don

NOOOO‼️ screamed the librarian

This seems important @raskin.house.gov Many of the elderly & disabled & military use mail in voting. Please protect it from DonOld

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

Good point

But she doesn’t, so she won’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She just likes creating chaos

“Out of touch” isn’t it. A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads. It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

Don’t trust that bitch EVER‼️

Do you think this ICE dude knows he's more identifiable by his tattoos than his face?

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media? Because news bosses wanted to show their “fairness.” I know this because I edited the Chicago Tribune’s first story on Obama’s birth certificate. We didn’t want to touch it. The higher-ups made us. 9/10 🧵

The most malevolent urban myth ever; even when MSM is owned by obvious conservatives 🙄

I’ve been screaming this for years (though not with such a nice clip) b/c this TRUTH bears repeating- united we stand, divided we fall. We includes everyone oppressed. Black, Muslim, poor, trans, women, immigrants, whatever! If the wanna-be oligarchs are targeting them, include them! #Unidos

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.
