No! What matters is we are the United States, not Russia and North Korea, you idiot Thune.

Every US military officer swears an oath when commissioned. That oath is to NOT to obey all orders. It is to preserve, protect & defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic. Their 1st obligation is to obey the law & the law prohibits the deliberate killing of unarmed citizens.

What do you bet me the trump administration is involved in the drug trade they say they're fighting against?

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

Hello Putin doesn’t want peace; he wants Ukraine. Help Ukraine keep him on his side of all borders or Europe is next. This has gone on too long. Putin needs to be defeated.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Russia started this war and Russia is the only country that can stop this war.

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

I assume she means everyone who isn’t white.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

I don’t consider ICE to be a law-enforcement organization. I consider them to be an organized crime syndicate. Nothing more, nothing less.

"The extent to which young people can get their hands on semi-automatic weapons is just insane to me, and I think there is a way to do that without, you know, violating the Second Amendment." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social discuss gun regulation.

While it is a movie away and it is on a weeknight, "Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip" is the greatest stand-up comedy film ever. I got to see it when it came out at the Chicago Theater. #RichardPryor #TCMParty

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. So let’s get even louder:

Content Warning (CW): Offensive language Richard Pryor seen here with Gene Wilder, Patrick McGoohan and Jill Clayburgh in the 🇺🇸American comedy action thriller "SILVER STREAK" (1976) dir. Arthur Hiller 🎬 20th Century-Fox 🚅

On World AIDS Day, we give appreciation to scientific research, which has saved millions of lives from AIDS, while focusing on the continued fight to expand access to prevention, treatment, and care. For the sake of us all, scientific research must be fully funded.

I’m officially dumber for reading this from the delusory muff.

The Epstein files should have already been released.

No Habba job. Sad!

Sadly relevant today.

Only 3 weeks until the days start getting longer again ⛅ Hang in there, SAD people ❤️

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws. But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them. ICE must go. End of discussion.

Putin is a leftover kgb thug. Nothing else. In a functional US government we wouldn't be siding with the kgb.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

Donald Trump is under fire over a report that claims he is proposing that the U.S. recognize Russian control of parts of Ukraine, including Crimea, which Russia has unlawfully annexed, as a means to end the war.

“Europe must now fight to save Ukraine and itself as bravely as Ukraine has been fighting to save itself and Europe for a decade. The resources are there, but the courage is not. STOP pretending Trump will ever turn on Putin and face reality and fight.” - Garry Kasparov

My daughter, earlier, when I told her there would be school today, gesticulating "no, no, no". Later on when her breakfast was prepared and I called her: got to the kitchen in no time. Not all "rigidness" in autism is bad. We all have ours too. Our rituals, ours schedules, our ways to do things...

My friends, there is no ‘Department of War’ or ‘Secretary of War’ in America. There is a Department of Defense and a Secretary of Defense. Neither has the right to murder. “Kill them all” is a confession to murder under American law.

It's so disappointing to see our government forgetting some important lessons from the 1950s and 1960s. I am increasingly afraid of how RFK Jr and his colleagues are taking us backwards, and the harm that could do, as I discuss in my new blog post. dlhalperblog.blogspot.com

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

Reports that ICE are disguising their cars with UBER stickers on their vehicles.

Fascinating when the NYTimes decides to be a newspaper versus when they don't.
