Also why do we tolerate Presidency by social media posts?

Splashdown confirmed! Let us welcome the crew of Artemis II back to our pale blue dot.

The New York Times reporting on how Trump and his inner circle came to the decision to attack Iran is so infuriating lmao. "Ultimately, his inner circle trusted his gut because he'd already gotten away with so much he shouldn't have." BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE. YOU! AHHHH!

"I think we as a species need largely symbolic and inspirational projects like this from time to time, to keep us sane and optimistic and in touch with our humanity." defector.com/artemis-moon...

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

Not that we tried to warn people ICE was going to be everywhere all the time unless they got defunded, but we tried to warn people ICE was going to be everywhere all the time unless they got defunded.

The best explanation and contextualization of the government's tactical failure and moral bankruptcy I've seen yet. No paywall; you're welcome. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/o...

One: He isn’t paying for shit because he never does Two: because he never does and never has, it’s irresponsible to report this like he will Three: It’s illegal for him to do so and even if it weren’t, the correct answer is for him to pay his goddamn taxes

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has been designated a “priority target”by the US DEA, AP reports. So Venezuela-Iran-Cuba-Colombia. The fascist takeover continues apace.

NATO Charter 1. Settle disputes peacefully. 2. Economic collaboration. 3. Members will maintain their military capacity. 4. Consultation if an ally's security is threatened. 5. An attack against one member is an attack against all, triggering action. There is nothing about supporting a FAFO war.

NEW: Why does gas set the price of electricity – and is there an alternative? Make yourself a tea (or grab a beer??) and enjoy my Friday longread on marginal pricing, ideas for market reform – & how to break the link btwn gas & power prices for good www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/8

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Everybody is insane now in the exact same way, and it's both very disturbing and also incredibly tedious.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

Ive said for more than a year that it might be better for Europe if the US left NATO. The US is now bullying and unreliable and would probably not fight for Europe against Putin anyway. Better for Europe to move on, especially with Ukraine a key anchor of its future security

The only party responsible for voter fraud are the party trying so desperately to get this passed into law not because of voter fraud or supposed illegal immigrants voting because the system already prevents that. So the only logical explanation is ( Suppressing the vote) not protecting it.

The answer to that question 🙋 is YES absolutely they do. The one aspect of the Save Act being talked about the least is that states would be required to turn over their voter rolls to DHS which is as you so brilliantly pointed out (redundant data) so the question is ( what do they want it for?)

Instead, Congress wants to make every American show up in person with paper documents to prove something Washington already knows. That’s not election integrity. That’s voter suppression with extra steps.

your information is automatically sent to election officials you’re registered unless you opt out. DMVs already verify citizenship when issuing IDs. It’s not a radical idea. It’s a proven system that removes the burden from citizens and puts it where it belongs on the government.

Serious question. Doesn’t our government already know who’s a citizen? The Social Security Administration, the State Department, DHS, the DMV they all have this data. In fact, the SAVE Act itself uses federal databases to verify citizenship for other parts of the bill.

I wish Republicans cared as much about the 🍇kit backlog as they care about imprisoning humans who need to use the toilet.

What Trump is doing to Cuba has nothing to do with democracy or human rights. He wants a client state that’ll let in American businesses

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

IMPEACH TRUMP OR HIT HIM WITH THE 25TH AMENDMENT. DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO REMOVE HIM. IF YOU DON’T HE’S GOING TO USE NUKES. ALL OF THIS SHIT IS NOT FUCKING NORMAL. WAKE UP.

Sweeping guilty verdicts in the federal Prairieland antifa cases. These cases were an effort by the Trump admin to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists and further, prosecute dissent. This Texas trial was a test of his power. He won. This laid out the case and stakes: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Feels to me like whoever runs on "I am going to put into prison every single person currently in power in government, business, or law enforcement" has a decent chance at 500 electoral votes.

"Many Americans seem to have forgotten just how catastrophic US regime change wars have been in the past. So, with the risk of history repeating itself once again, here is Zeteo’s list of seven of the US’s most disastrous attempts at regime change, ranked"

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

We said No War and the US government said "best we can do is every war all at the very same time oops we're almost out of bombs but that's probably fine when doing every war, all at the very same time idk we're drunk"

Berlin is Berlining! #Berlin

Blocking bots is honorable work.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

See, @albomp.bsky.social? Nuance

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

American historian @jasonhickel.bsky.social on how the US and Israel threaten humanity

An Omani mediator said last night a peace deal between the US and Iran was within reach. This morning, the US and Israel bombed Iran. No imminent threat. No legal basis. Another illegal war dressed up as “security” and “democracy”.

good day to slap the shit out of anyone who contended Trump was a dove who’d keep us out of pointless wars in the Middle East

Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.

Prediction markets are a cancer

If voting mattered, the rich would get bots and trolls to try to convince you it didn't matter, to influence elections through advertising and propaganda, and to try to stop people who vote in a way they don't like from voting at all, like passing ID laws and closing DMVs in black neighborhoods.

A thing I strongly believe, but that was only obvious in retrospect, was that drive-time talk radio was the most valuable propaganda platform in history and a big reason we got into this mess we're in now was because conservatives dominated it in the 1990s and 2000s

I would like to reassert: if it is a crime to lie to the government, it should be a crime for the government to lie to the people.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

I figure on the day he dies, no matter where I am it will suddenly be like new years eve and fourth of july combined.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
