I showed this to my wife and now she’s just sitting there with a blank stare saying “oh my god” over and over

Just a quick shout out to BlueSky world for being unanimous in reading that SF chronicle and CNN article about Swalwell and rightly concluding that this reporting is detailed, damning and awful and Dems can do better than whatever TF this guy is.

RT to give 70s kids PTSD

I need people to understand that it doesn’t matter what team men play for, the ones who want power will *always* abuse it.

You'd Think 🙄

For the first time in 54 years we're watching the recovery of a Lunar mission. Also, I want to point out that my skyline in Blacksky AND in regular Bluesky is almost nothing but talk about Artemis.

If you wonder why Trump exhibits such fealty to Israel, consider that at the beginning of his second term he agreed to use the most invasive Israeli spyware ever devised to start spying on people in the United States. He'll need this tech for martial law.

Trials.

Oh I know that look

Steve has been promoted to branch manager for trying his best. Congrats, Steve!!!

Having a dog is fun because you can sing songs to them about how gross they smell and they just love the attention

"Dashboard-camera video captured agents firing at Mr. Hernandez as he tried to drive away, his car lurching into oncoming traffic."

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Mesmerizing. A silk-covered mannequin launched above the stratosphere at around 33km in altitude, creating an ephemeral piece of art.

Well, this is horrifying.

Accurate

This pisses me off SOO hard. This is not how courts are supposed to work (don't like one courts opinion.. run off and find another when it's not actually an appeal). And on top of that arresting someone for "watering flowers while black" which is not a crime.

“Better, far better! endure all the horrors of civil war than to see the dusky sons of Ham leading the fair daughters of the South to the altar.” This was what Trump meant when he said he’d protect women whether they liked it or not on the campaign trail.

Fuck that motherfucker

Trump last night: “In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest.” FDR, June 6, 1944: American soldiers “fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

CBS: American soldiers who survived the attacked that killed 6 say Hegseth is lying. They were left “unprepared” and exposed. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

I dropped my phone laughing.

Transitioning from hoping for a blue wave to cackling as red counties turn blue. All while Trump talks about a 3rd term.

To be honest, I'm pretty shocked that anyone in the Trump administration knows what the Avignon papacy even was. . .

"When scientists applied a new model of human survivability that takes into account the body’s ability to function and stay cool depending on age, they found all six events had seen non-survivable periods for older people who could not find shade." #Climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Soo this seems to have actually happened. Like, what the hell? Tl;Dr: the Pentagon seems to have threatened the Pope telling him that he better support Trump's military use or they'll attack the Vatican. The pipe cancelled his scheduled visit subsequently.

On Nov 10th 2016 I was talking to my coworker, still stunned. I asked him to describe what we just elected. He said DJT is a "sentient comments section."

Take a moment to remember how weird it is our president communicates with us through a bottom-tier social media site called Truth Social. It’s like if he governed from the comment section of a porn site.

The reddest suburb in Wisconsin just elected a Democrat mayor.

my all-time favourite in this genre was the guy who tried to hit on me one evening while I was crouching next to a man having a seizure in the street and waiting for an ambulance to arrive, and who got cranky when I didn't take time to answer his "and what are you doing after this"

Why President Trump’s threat of genocide matters He may avoid immediate constitutional and legal sanctions, but this threat should not be forgotten New by me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

I love this picture so hard. ❤️❤️❤️

Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban. The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.

President Donald Trump has made new unhinged threats to Iran a day after backing down on his deadline to obliterate the country.

Iran’s Fars News Agency says all tankers passing through Hormuz have been stopped after Israel’s ‘ceasefire breach’.

Elon Musk is either a credulous dope or a cynical propagandistic liar, episode 45,208: The chart being complained about here by a Daily Wire liar was clearly marked as being sourced from the internet, and students were asked to critically assess its accuracy, not imbibe it as truth.

She helped the authorities deport her abuser. Then they deported her back to him.
