Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Billionaires are national security risks.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

thank you for the robust response given the ongoing crimes, everyone in the party needs to call for: ▪️ the abolition of ice ▪️the arrest of this ice officer

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

“Nobody can stop us,” a thing famously said by people about to do good things

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

we have gone through to a mirror universe where instead of the government not caring about twitter because it isn’t real life, it doesn’t care about real life because it isn’t twitter

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

can't believe the guy whose entire political philosophy revolves around domination would turn out to be a hawk

America is not going to be rescued from utter fascism by Democrats, at least not those currently in power.

This war will destabilize the entire region and set off a global shockwave of anti-Americanism vs. no it won’t

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

we have built a culture of elite impunity

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

When Howard Dean was the Democratic frontrunner for President, he was disqualified, by the media, for yelling "Yeah!" once. At some point we just have to admit that mainstream media sources are biased.

my "current operations are lawful under US and international law" t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions that are answered by my t-shirt

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

I feel like we're going to learn that Trump is happy to share intel on American residents for the tidy sum of $2B.

"We have a 2000s housing bubble level of financial engineering on top of a 1920s level of private unregulated lending on top of something bigger than a 1990s internet (or 1870s railroad) level of technology and infrastructure build-out. It’s one bubble to rule them all."

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

"Things happen." Fucking disgraceful.

This is because our country has spent the last 100 years designing all of our infrastructure around cars. Some of the most expensive and desirable areas in any state are the dense, walkable areas. But people can't afford to live there.

Oh my god

math textbook covers for some reason:

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

Re: Epstein’s emails

In case you haven’t figured it out yet.

been awhile since I felt a literal chill down my spine but this honestly scared the shit out of me

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Maccius Plautus (250-184 BCE) bitching about the inventor of the sundial feels *extremely* relatable to me in this year 2025
