Under 18 U.S.C. § 1091, committing an act of genocide is a felony, punishable by death if a death results from the individual’s actions.

We’re at 86 votes today so far in my rural precinct in Wisconsin.

Forcing the Artemis crew to speak with Donald Trump was part of a NASA training exercise to prepare future astronauts for encounters with less intelligent life forms.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

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.

Sherman did not engage in total war or anything approaching genocide.

Comparing Trump's threats to destroy an entire civilization with Sherman's 1864-65 march through Georgia and the Carolinas makes very little sense. Sherman's targets were relatively narrow in scope and limited to crushing the Confederacy's war making machine. www.foxnews.com/opinion/morn...

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

The 25th Amendment doesn’t remove the president. The president remains the president, his powers are transferred to the vice president as Acting President. It’s effectively a regency, but POTUS remains in office. It also takes more votes in Congress to uphold than impeachment.

Trump has a new executive order on voting out. You’ll want to know all the details: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Annoying dork Elon Musk made it deeply uncool to get a thrill from space travel. Thank you, NASA, for fixing that with Artemis II.

1929, famously a moment that marked the start of sustained prosperity and comfort for all Americans.

Sacrilege. Blasphemy of the purest, most disgusting kind.

This administration's stupidity is unbounded. We circled the moon in 1968, seven months *before* landing on it.

The earth behind the moon!

Gravity is pretty amazing. The force, I mean. Good movie too, but the force that acts on mass across space and time is darn amazing.

Chair of the Joint Chief's first statement is that he won't be able to share too many details so that we can "do this again successfully if we need to." Right on the heels of Trump giving too many off-script details about the operation.

Not one Republican at any level, in Congress, in the federal judiciary, not one state governor, not one state legislator, not one Republican Party volunteer or municipal official, has denounced this illegal, immoral, and anti-Christian statement by Trump on Easter. Not one. Every Republican agrees.

There was a shopping mall. Now it’s all covered with flowers.

“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

I'm not saying Trump is going to nuke Iran. I'm saying we need to take seriously his threat to do so. Bomb threats are hoaxes 99.999% of the time. But you know what we do when a building or an airplane receives one? We take it seriously, presume the worst and evacuate the building or the airplane.

Without a mention of the sacred day, today, on Easter Sunday, this profanity-laced threat was shared by the US president's account. What do you have to say about your "Christian" hero, MAGA? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Publicly announcing the intention to do war crimes should immediately end American presidencies

Still true

There are two separate, unrelated reasons to reject both Donald Trump and the Republican Party: You’re a patriotic American, or you’re a faithful Christian. No person who is either supports, or has ever voted for, Donald Trump.

“We propose to put it into the power of every man, woman, and child, black or white, rich or poor, when his rights are invaded, to raise his hand toward the flag, and say, I am an American citizen. Why should it not be so, now that all are free?”

CBS’s excuse for why it killed the investigation into CECOT was that it wasn’t original and news-distinctive enough.

Still got 3 days left though.

Timeline cleanser: Ashley Biden shared a warm Biden family Easter photo from California—simple reminder of what normal looks like.

Django, folks, covering Beyond the Sea. youtu.be/2VQHxL3GBlE?...

At this point, you can basically just use these announcements to remind you when futures markets are opening in Asia.

Share a song you love but think most people probably haven’t heard. This is Forty-Five by Iowa’s own Dickie, which is really just musician Dick Prall. “When they gathered round their mother / In a bed she’d never made …” youtu.be/0M0WnJzWZ1g?...

An American president praising Allah in the name of bringing a living hell to Iranians on Easter Sunday... You can't make this shit up...

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)

25A Section 4 is for “unable,” not “comatose.” Text has words, words have meaning. But it is also true that if the president is not comatose, it takes more votes in Congress to sustain his removal under 25A than via impeachment. Impeachment is the only viable way to remove a Republican president.

100% agree on the constitutionality question. The 25A standard is ability to perform the duties of the office, which affords for judgement of fitness. However if POTUS can sign a letter, it takes more votes in Congress to uphold his removal via 25A than via impeachment.

The Easter Egg roll is an East Wing activity, but there is no East Wing anymore. Congress needs to zero out the First Lady’s portion of the White House budget.

The US military's tactical capabilities at the other end of the world exceed those of most of the world's militaries within their own sovereign territories. Truly astounding, but even more astounding is how little strategic acumen there is in determining how, why and where it is put to use.

Trump ran as a Republican precisely because Democrats rejected him and his values back when Trump was a Democrat. Trump had to switch parties to find primary voters who would elect him.

All of which is just to say: if Ds wanted to make a case loudly that they can and will impose personal consequences on officials who do crimes, they can and should make that case *before* the crimes are committed so the officials think about maybe not doing those crimes while they still can avoid it

Every class I turn a chair backwards and give a “I don’t know what you youths are into, but don’t waste your time on made up conspiracies. Instead, look up Turbo Tax and why you have to figure out your taxes instead of the gov just telling you the amount, which yes, it already knows.”

in 1964, the NASA budget was $70 billion in modern dollars. in 2026 it's $24.4 billion. if funding NASA really was the thing preventing the US from fighting poverty and homelessness, you'd think there would have been measurably positive results over the last sixty years
