Anywhere I see it on here, instant block.

Don't got to hand it to her etc. But on a narrower point: if you believe this, it was a cowardly abdication of your responsibilities to resign rather than stay and be one of the people you're now demanding do something. You signed up for that gig and then quit, 'Former Congresswoman.'

Depluralize a movie. Clerk

It should have happened on Jan 6 and every day after that but this is a good time to do it too.

And came to the conclusion that the basic unanswerable questions remain unanswerable & the main contribution of theologians was to bury the basic questions in an avalanche of obscure prose & conceptual hoo-ha, mystification & obfuscation, to effectively conceal them -- and how simple they are.

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

Trump: Happy Easter! I love molesting kids NYTimes: Celebrating Christ, Trump Extends a Heartfelt Message to Nation’s Youth

Nothing else gets UC. No votes, even on bills I have sponsored, get any votes. Nothing. Until he’s removed.

He spent years pretending to joke about serious (but less so) stuff and the media played along and now he’s getting the same treatment about committing war crimes. “He doesn’t really mean it lol”.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved

"we used to build houses sturdy, my aunt lives in a building constructed in 1915!"

I'm glad the US pilot is safe but the sheer discrepancy shown by most Americans of all political stripes between the value of the life a soldier who *literally signed up for this shit* and the value of the lives of thousands of civilians who didn't is indefensible under any coherent moral code

What better way to dissolve Congress without actually dissolving Congress than them simply shrugging as he assumes their powers?

Things were a bit weird in the hood yesterday

I think a lot of Bluesky users are in the demographic of “people who simply will stop using social media entirely if all the text-based social platforms that aren’t run by unrepentant Nazis (like this one) go away,” myself very much included

I can’t think of one reason that House Democrats would not be preparing Articles of Impeachment for Hegseth.

Where would anyone get this wild idea? A true mystery.

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the invasion of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.

More of this please.

Means testing is a tax! A time tax. It’s designed to frustrate and make it hard to collect.

My thinking on this case is that Clarence Thomas should have been removed from office immediately when we found out his wife had plotted to overthrow our constitutional republic

This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.

Unlike the economy where they had to play games with other people’s data, this is certainly a space they can’t control more directly and so it makes complete sense they will lie their asses off.

/4. Fourth: Advocacy does have a moral component. Lying about law and history in an effort to make millions of people stateless is not “doing law the right way.” The notion that advocacy is morally neutral or even inherently good if performed according to cultural ritual remains vapid and harmful.

screaming as Sauer says 'you cant look at Lynch v. Clark bc it isn't interpreting the 14th Amendment, it predates the Amendment' yes it does, AND THEN the literal drafters of the 14th Amendment said on the floor of Congress 'Lynch v. Clark was right, we're amending the Constitution to reflect that'

I had a coworker who said I was explicitly supporting torture because I enjoyed watching 24 and boy was it a tell on his part

The dumbest thing people did during the Brandon administration was acting like if we just bully and threaten Manchin hard enough he will bend the knee, like they had any leverage over him whatsoever

the fun part is that he's almost certainly not going to achieve that and he's going to kill a lot more people.

Really makes you wonder what “never again” meant

If they succeed they will have functionally amended the Constitution and created a underclass subject to state domination. They have no good reason for doing this. The law is not on their side. We will see whether mere power is.

If you're really looking for the nation that has done the most to demonstrate the capabilities of insurgency and trends toward multipolarity, you should be looking toward Ukraine, whose revolutionary military tactics have set a new bar for how a smaller, country can resist larger adversaries.

None of that has changed. What has changed is that the US now has a regime that is so stupid and bloodthirsty that it decided to pull the trigger because it thought that it was smarter than every other administration that came before it, not insurgency, multipolarity or any other such.

Is actually letting Trump and Hegseth off the hook for their bloodthirsty stupidity and incompetence by suggesting that what is responsible for the current outcome wasn't Trump and Hegseth being stupid, bloodthirsty and incompetent, but rather a sudden global shift of some kind. And, no, not that.

We don't blame origin, we blame attitude

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

A Cherokee Nation Reservation is Real America. Harlem is Real America. Chinatown in SF is Real America. A Haitian neighborhood in Ohio is Real America. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

there's also something so weird about this idea that what appeals to, say, someone in Baltimore won't appeal to say, someone in Detroit. like, every state has a few major cities, and those cities have more in common *with each other* than they do with their neighboring rural areas

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Ah, you think No Kings is going to accomplish anything? It's nothing compared to my approach of never being around other people for any reason

He quotes a conservative activist: "What really motivated the Tea Party was a deep, philosophical disagreement with Obama about what government should be." Yeah, if there's anything I remember about the Tea Party, it's all the deep philosophers. Were they the ones holding "Go Back to Africa" signs?

Ran into some comrades while wandering in High Bridge NJ! #NoKings

Looking forward to No Kings 3: Iran Drift.

Confiscate every dollar these guys have…

It will just appear. By magic. Apparently!
