Again, he's addressing children gathered for an Easter Egg roll on the White House lawn, standing next to someone in an Easter Bunny costume, talking about all the people he's killed

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

A fine example of how authoritarian governments result in poorer, less educated, and less healthy nations.

"There’s nothing that says we can’t do a pay raise next year; however, we didn’t want to lock ourselves into something now that we couldn’t fund," said Mississippi Senate Education Committee Chairman Sen. Dennis DeBar, R-Leakesville, during a Sunday legislative meeting.

A CNN review found that of ~72,000 people who self-deported through Project Homecoming, more than half were in ICE detention when they signed up. Suffering inside facilities functions as coercion, pressure to leave rather than fight. www.cnn.com/2026/03/18/u...

Important thread. Hegseth has blown a gasket. He needs to go. ASAP.

“ICE are here and they’re doing literally nothing to help,” said an airline worker in New York. www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

🚨BREAKING: Efforts to oppose a Trump-backed gerrymander in Missouri cleared a major milestone Monday, when pro-voting activists announced that they had logged enough signatures to put the new congressional map, which favors the GOP, to a statewide vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So if Russia phones in fake threats, as they did last time, our institutions will leap into action to do what Russia wants…. This is very transparent.

Candy is being crushed at heretofore unseen levels.

HEGSETH: “That’s why we call Iran the #1 state sponsor of terrorism — they spend their money on missiles, etc.” HEGSETH 5 MINS LATER: “We’re asking Congress for another $200 BILLION for missiles, etc.”

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Your friendly reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The SAVE Act isn’t about Voter ID, it’s a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for Republicans.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing. They know that the American people do not want a war

🧊✈️ SEATTLE: Women in chains descend in driving rain from an ICE-chartered Eastern 737 (tail: N917XA) at Boeing Field 👀

The US showed its contempt with the world, international law, and UN by having Melania Trump, with no actual experience, lead the UN Security Council as the war of aggression against Iran continues to spiral out of control.

I'm nearly certain @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social was the first to break this story, which I am now seeing everywhere. It's as insane as it is foreboding. The American people need to be aware how dangerous this is for our collective safety, spiritual, corporeal and otherwise.

EXCLUSIVE: Military commanders aren’t just preaching “Armageddon” in the Iran war… The Military Religious Freedom Foundation tells me that after the first U.S. bombs fell Saturday, some commanders scheduled emergency …… Bible studies for Sunday.

i’ll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

There it goes rhyming again.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.

Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

So they have no plan. Got it.

open.substack.com/pub/thefucki... Thank gods he's got humor, otherwise I'd drown in tears. @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social keeps me informed, sane, and somehow laughing through all this fucked up shit. Come on, let's fuck the news together. Sign up, best money and time you'll spend.

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

Our marketing people suggested we do something to encourage customers to trust us so we blew up an elementary school full of children. Please enjoy arbys

Congress diverted an extra $34 billion in taxpayer funds to unrequested projects for the military contractors bankrolling their election campaigns. I assume right-wing influencers are going to film themselves banging on the doors of the Pentagon demanding they pass an audit now, right?

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

This should be a front-page scandal.

Arrest them.

Fact check: The tariffs aren't paid for by foreign countries like Trump just claimed. They are paid for by Americans, and foreign countries are bullied into doing Trump and his cronies favors to get out of them. This grifter in chief is full of it!

Trump is bragging about working to eliminate fraud. Most of his presidential pardons have been for people convicted of money laundering and fraud to the tune of over $1 billion.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

But you can wear push-up bras. Your breasts are only allowed to go larger in appearance under your shirt in Texas, not smaller, by law

Not that we need any more evidence that Trump is doing ethnic cleansing, but the way this regime keeps pushing for random changes in green card processes, asylum, and TPS to suddenly make people undocumented drives home that none of this is about someone's legal status.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Rapist mentality and rapist language
