Pay attention. 😳👇

Republicans don’t want “conservative family values;” they want oppressive systems of control. Systems designed to keep certain people powerless. That’s called authoritarianism.

Iran defeated and exposed us. They made apparent that the American Empire is weak and vulnerable and the fake ceasefire is a disguised surrender. Welcome to the Age of American Humiliation. It’s going to get worse if we don’t learn our lessons. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-age-of...

It looks like there’s a real chance Pakistan might mediate either a short ceasefire or at least an extension from Trump’s deadline, which gives him an off-ramp, but holy fucking shit things should not work like this and yet again people need to wake the fuck up and end this abomination of a regime.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

While we’re on the subject of the Iran rescue mission, are we just not going to talk about the weirdness of that story and how a lot of the details make no sense and seem to point more toward a special on-the-ground mission to grab uranium that went spectacularly wrong?

🚨BREAKING: The second crew member of the downed F-15E has been located, but "has not left Iranian territory" yet, Al Jazeera updated: The US rescue team still needs to successfully exfiltrate them out of the country and to safety, and we have no confirmation that that has happened

💥 Iranian drones hit Kuwait power and desalination facilities Drone strikes targeted power and desalination facilities in Kuwait, causing significant material damage and taking multiple units offline, Akharinkhabar reported, citing Kuwaiti authorities.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, I’m reaffirming my unyielding support for trans people in Delaware and across the nation. Every person deserves to live authentically, be seen, and be loved. 🏳️‍⚧️

31 years ago today, the world lost a shining star 🌟 whose joy, talent, and warmth touched millions. Taken far too soon at 23, her spirit lives on through every song. Bidi bidi bom bom forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, Selena, Queen of Tejano. 💜

Visibility matters. Every trans person who lives authentically helps create a world where everyone can be seen, respected, and safe to simply be themselves. To all our trans friends, family, and neighbors: Thank you for your resilience, your joy, and your humanity. You are seen. You belong. 💕🏳️‍⚧️

Recent data from the American Immigration Council and KFF shows 2025 was the deadliest year for ICE detainees in two decades — 32 deaths reported. We don’t even know all their names. America marches for them. And for Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Keith Porter. #WeSayNoKings

This is No Kings, two miles away from Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙌💪👏✊️👇

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

🚨 Senator Whitehouse has asked the US Marshals ~20 times: “Are you investigating who’s ORGANIZING death threats against judges?” They won’t answer. Why? Because the trail always leads back to MAGA conspiracies and Pam Bondi’s DOJ “doesn’t want to go there.” This should be front page news!

Jesus god if I see one more person talk about how MAGA supporters are becoming disillusioned with Trump without mentioning that literal Neo-Nazis have already worked to radicalize them into the fold and to see Trump as a moderate I’m going to lose my mind.

If you are, in any way, watching growing fascism and the brutalizing of people and destruction of their rights and lives as “beneficial” for the next election, not only have you lost the plot, you need to get help.

The timeline is truly a work of art: • 6:00 PM: Iran is "blown off the map." Their Navy is "dead." We are "weeks ahead of schedule." Victory! 🥂🇺🇸 • 8:00 PM: If Iran doesn’t open the Strait in 48 hours, we’re going to hit them. 💣🏠

The “enemy within” is a durable feature of the authoritarian playbook — a mechanism for manufacturing loyalty, justifying repression, and keeping the strongman indispensable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

One President honors a Purple Heart veteran and the rule of law. The other celebrates the death of an 81-year-old with Parkinson’s because his ego is still bruised. The contrast in basic human decency is an abyss. The cruelty isn’t a bug; it’s the entire brand. Pathetic and disgraceful. FDT

Because the president of the United States is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. It's just that simple.

🚨🚨🚨”Yes, It’s Finally Time to Talk About Trump & Treason” Everything Trump, the #TrumpRegime & Republicans have done & I mean, everything has been to benefit Putin, Russia for themselves & hurt Americans & our democracy Bravo @sethabramson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/sethabra...

Happy birthday to me 🥳

Don’t idolize politicians or leaders. They’re human beings and flawed and they deserve your constant skepticism and critique. If you want the world to get better give up on messiahs and saviors.

Notice that those in power don’t know what to do and they’re incompetent. Notice there’s no opposition to those incompetent criminals. This is on us. You and me. We have to act because we’re the adults in the room. That’s what a revolution is. That realization.

Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.

Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.

The eventual Nuremberg-style trial of Pete Hegseth for war crimes is going to be must-see TV.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

AI isn't just going to take our jobs, it's the perfect tool for fascists who are more than willing to kill innocent people to get what they want. Unless we take a stand, our future will be defined by worsening crimes against humanity. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-future...

What do the last two have to do with voting??? Why is he so obsessed with trans people?!

Trump is trying to have it both ways: boasting about 'unlimited weapons' while falsely claiming Biden left the cupboards bare. He says these wars can last 'forever,' but 'forever' suspiciously sounds like a placeholder until the midterms are over.

Hey guys, no one is going to save us. The politicians didn’t lead the Civil Rights movement, women’s rights, and gay rights movement. Stop yelling at the democrats. The republicans are allowing this to continue. They have control of everything. WE THE PEOPLE have to stop this madness.

Then what happened?
