12 ships x $2 million per = $24 million dollars. A day. To Iran. The Strait was open -- and free -- until Feb 28th

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

I want you to imagine what a massive controversy this would have been just a few decades ago. In 1992, Sinead O'Connor became a social pariah because she tore up a picture of the pope on Saturday Night Live. We now have Trump threatening war with the Vatican, and it won’t even be a story by Friday.

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

This is the type of energy we need.

The Mass Deportation Coalition’s list of partners includes American Moment (where JD Vance was a founding advisory board member), P2025 leader Heritage Foundation (which has donated to American Reformer), & Claremont’s Center for the American Way of Life. massdeportationcoalition.org/playbook/

The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE. The vote was unanimous. 🎉🎉🎉

A second photographer in Los Angeles lost an eye to law enforcement "less-lethal" munitions while just taking pictures at protests. These weapons are supposed to be used ONLY for immediate violent threats. Marshall Woodruff and now Tucker Collins were armed with nothing but a camera.

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

This has kept happening since it happened to Linda Tirado, and it happened before that - police know they aren't supposed to aim them at people's heads and are doing it anyway despite that. End qualified immunity.

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

i am pretty sure based on uscp positioning that one of my senior senate dem neighbors is back in town too. won't dox them but wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a one-off

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a café in Saida, South Lebanon, in the middle of the night — killing at least 8 civilians. A café full of civilians. This is a massacre. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

I’m thinking of my great aunt Ortensia tonight. She eloped w/my autistic uncle, who had a handmade wedding ring in his pocket for 20 yrs, as he waited for her to bring up the idea first. He was 75 when she finally did & he drove straight to Vegas Every year on her birthday, he hired a mariachi band

It was actually me. I am the trans woman who intended to cause World War 3 as part of my transition. Thank you for validating me, everyone.

It's okay everyone, it's alright, when he said that a civilization would fall, he actually meant the US.

“The only murdered Palestinian we’re allowed to talk about.” 🎯

This is why negotiation teams include skilled interpreters and translators, but it was probably Witkoff and Kushner again.

As with Susan Crawford's win last year, tonight's SCOWIS result won't get an iota of the What Mamdani Means For 🇺🇸 Politics coverage from coastal elites. But it's likely a far better bellwether of how things are shifting in 2026. This is a landslide by WI standards. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

WAUKESHA HAS FALLEN I REPEAT WAUKESHA HAS FALLEN

I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

RESULT: Democrats have flipped this school board seat in Tulsa. They ousted the conservative board member I wrote about here, who suggested that immigrant children endanger other kids.

It is time

The next Murderbot is out on May 5 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d...

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

What a result: A Democratic-backed candidate has won the mayoral election in Waukesha, the biggest city in the notoriously conservative Waukesha County. Alicia Halvensleben will be the next mayor. She defeated a GOP state lawmaker.

rural Wisconsin counties that went for Trump by roughly 20% voted for the liberal candidate today.

WHAT WE KNOW, 11pm: —Liberals flip seat on Wisconsin supreme court. —Also flip important school board seats in WI, OK, MO. —Dems win Waukesha mayor race. —GOP defends MTG's seat, but Dems way overperform. —Big MO county rejects property tax freeze.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

NYT OpEd: Democrats must reach across the aisle and find compromise with Republicans. Let's just destroy HALF of a civilization.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

Republican congressional leaders: Whatever he may or may not have on y'all, there's no way it's worth risking a nuclear war.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

This is not only my most popular Easter cartoon, but also my most popular feminist cartoon... theology and feminism... truly intersectional! So I will post it every year. You can see this on prints and etcetera.

The fact that this isn't even hyperbole is what will send me spiraling forever. The threat of nuclear annihilation, of not living in a world at all, was preferable to the idea of treating any given trans person with dignity or learning like five words in Spanish, to not harassing ladies at work.

Im glad im not stepping on a plane anytime soon. If they do this Iran is going to retaliate and our FBI director is a drunk podcaster

Can't use the car b/c not registered, tagged, & insured. No transportation for the 1 who can work, or get stuff from storage/end storage rent bill, or food/medical errands. Stymied b/c the car's not street legal. Disabled couple in the poverty trap. Pls RS/QS & do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2026

Trump just gave up a lot of classified information in that briefing. To be clear, he’s the president so he can do whatever he wants in that regard, but it’s not very smart.

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

People should actually be very alarmed that while AP's business model is shot to bits, Americans are still very much reliant on the news it delivers. The alternatives in some cases are inferior or non-existent. apnews.com/article/news...

1969: ARPANET was created to keep the network operational even if individual computers go down. 2025: AWS goes down and takes half the world's services with it.

I was reminded earlier today that there's a #Project2025 tracker, in which you can see how successful they have been in destroying the country.

Just in case you, like me, immediately felt a need to run to the dictionary people. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/a...

“At issue is Immigration Judge Samuel Williams, who presides over cases at the Otero detention court. A late-2024 appointee to the bench, Williams came to immigration court after a career as a prosecutor and military attorney, with no publicly documented prior experience in immigration law.”

“The bullet that hit Mr. Sosa-Celis’s upper leg ended up lodged inside the house, near a playpen used by a child in the downstairs unit.”
