My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

then force the Rs to vote against it. over and over again. make them say it. again.

So. This isn't a fucking distraction and people need to stop saying that crap.

Unquestionably impeachable. Primary every Democrat who declines to say so and do so.

There is no event that changed the nature of our government since 1776, more significantly than when Roberts granted POTUS immunity. Even the Constitutional Convention and the adoption of the Bill of Rights are less fundamental than the notion of not being ruled by a King. We cannot overstate this

I do not care where the seat is, if you have an incumbent that isn’t calling for accountability for this illegal kidnapping - they must be primaried and replaced

When the full files are opened, the people who didn't care yesterday still won't care tomorrow. There's always been enough evidence to prosecute, but not the socio-political will to do so. Mostly because of men that still run it all. How to fix? The steady grind of more prosecutions. More. More.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

"2025 was tough. It was painful. This was the year that America broke open. Now the seedy interior of what lies within so many structures of power in our country has been revealed. It is not pretty." -- @sifill.bsky.social

Cannot agree with this more or repeat it louder

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%. We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists. We need a wealth tax.

We don't allow gadgets at dinner regardless. But yes, this Christmas I'm going to try to restrict my phone usage during family time to taking pictures. Parents told to lead by example and turn off phones this Christmas www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bingo. All we've ever needed to do was to believe victims and to care. All the photos and files in the world won't change that need. (would love to be wrong)

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Christian men projecting what they want to do to women.

no fucking shit

Epstein files are a distraction from Venezuela is a distraction from ICE is a distraction from gutting health care is a distraction from robbing the treasury is a distraction from Ukraine is a distraction from voter suppression is a distraction from his mental health is a distraction from fascism.

Impeach Chief Justice Roberts Indict, convict and imprison Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh for corruption

Remarkable kindness and empathy from the Jewish community of Bondi and abroad in light of this horrific anti-semitic shooting. Instead of pouring fuel on the fire and joining hatemongers to condemn all Muslims, they are openly and loudly rejecting it. We stand in solidarity against hate and terror.

I want to know what MAGAs think of when they see the Statue of Liberty or a reference to her. What exactly does it invoke for them?

The report, compiled by the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS), warns that the US “uses economic power, including threats of high tariffs, to enforce its will and no longer rules out the use of military force, even against allies.”

still early days but the gop gerrymandering project relied on the usual democratic sad sack response of "ok, we'll take it" and instead the party (for a change) pushed back some and it is backfiring. now, do that for literally everything else.

Honorable mention: Captain Picard and Morgan Freeman's character in Seven. But Arthur was masculine by being humble, pure, and selfless and it had nothing to do with wielding the sword.

i said what i said

The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that. It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out. 1/

Coining "Democratic Socialism" was a disaster of a PR choice. It is NOT socialism! Far from it. Choosing that word destroyed its chances, though. It's a terrible own-goal and bush league politics. I'm a Bernie guy but sometimes you have to ask yourself do you wanna be right or do you want to win?

To call it a circus is an insult. That place is amazing. Death defying athletes, dancers, magicians, clowns, a true logistical symphony. But *these* jackwagons? What are they good at? What are their talents? I guess they went to law school and passed the BAR. But can they make a grilled cheese?

Folks saying the NG and Venezuela and ICE activity being a big diversion to pry attention away from the Epstein news. It's the other way around. Nothing could be better for their murder agenda than (another) sex scandal that soaks up all the bandwidth. Don't get me wrong, bury him with it, but...

okay that’s it I’m gonna need EVERYONE to go back to the tectonic plate where their parents fucked and made them

And I'll say it again: ‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening. He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

If you are a Dem thinking of running for president and your first order of business isn't putting every person involved first the current administration crime wave on public trial- DO NOT RUN.

1/2 One of the big problems for the always-punching-left Democratic consultants is that they are waging ideological battles in public that actually _reinforce_ the left-wing image of the party that they are trying to fight. That is a risk they have decided substack.com/@lakshyajain...

hear me out, maybe it’s time to stop making men the president for awhile

100%. Choosing to give national/international amplification to fringe voices has been devastating. Some jackwagon sees snow falling and is like "nOt A LoT Of glOBaL wArMInG goINg oN HErE derp derp" and cable news be like "some paid-for skeptics shat themselves so here's a feature on them derp derp"

I told my wife if there is one single line from our culture that survives and is remembered 200 years from now, that concisely explains this shit in one sentence, let it be when @pattonoswalt.bsky.social posted on election morning after 2016 - "wow this country is way more sexist than it is racist"

100%

There's never a time that is appropriate to have this fight either. It is always the wrong time. It is always in the name of "strength in unity" that the time is not now to fight over party leadership a/or direction. Always later. And that is utter bullshit. The time is always now goddamn it.

I mean... he told us he was a monster 10 years ago. The entire world heard those tapes. It's not a bug it's a feature. The supporters are cultists that need deprogrammed, and prior examples of such groups do not engender optimism about the social political landscape and how this all might end.

they have definitely not gone far enough. not by a long shot. DOJ has the pics audio and video - those are the REAL files but to get these POS to do hard time requires the one thing that always seems to be so sorely lacking: believing women, believing survivors.

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.
