The White House turning war and death into content mimicking video games is a moral collapse, not a messaging strategy. War is not a game! EPIC FAIL

Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.

Not defending her. But of course it’s a woman who’s among the first to get canned. (Goldman situation)

I spit on ICE thugs.

I feel like a geriatric Charles Manson is now president of the United States.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

Ukraine traded for Venezuela and Cuba. China gets Taiwan.

Russia propped up Venezuela. Wagner are flown there when there's unrest. Will there be Russian/US joint military operations to occupy the country? Did Putin give Venezuela, with the world's largest oil reserves, to the US in exchange for Ukraine, a former occupied crown jewel of the Russian empire?

It seems to me this is precisely their plan.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

@adamzyglis.bsky.social Kleptocracy

This comes from Brian Allen, who states this is a leaked CPAC press memo reveals the “Third Term Project” is hosting a February 20 event titled “The Case for Presidential Tenure Reform.”

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Remember the man by his words.

Until there is a general strike, which will be painful, I doubt they have any power with their words. Why do I say that? Because even the courts have no mechanism to enforce their decisions with the administration.

Project 2025 is a terrorist organization. Their goal is to destroy the United States of America. They and all their enablers should be dealt with accordingly. The best time to do it was ten years ago, the next best time is TODAY! #GOP #SCOTUS #Congress #POTUS #USA #America @romanpiso.bsky.social

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

PAY ATTENTION.

I don't see anybody building one for you, pal.

This is a good interview with David Suzuki. And not just because he speaks well of PM Carney. I hate to say it but he is probably right. He also talks about setting up "citizen defence forces", something some of us have talked about here. But I have different ... 1/3 www.ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/i...

Note to media: “Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

We have a heroin addict running our nation's Healthcare, a Ketamine addict deciding where all of our tax dollars go, a drunk leading our militarily,a puppy killer in charge of our nation's security and a speed freak in the Oval Office. What could possibly go wrong?

A masterful, definitive brief from @judgeluttig.bsky.social on every illegal & unconstitutional action undertaken by Trump in the first 100 days. And a sober truth about Trump’s intention to defy even SCOTUS. Print this one out. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

I am pleased to have this article, “The End of Rule of Law in America” in The Atlantic this morning. Thank you, Jeffrey Goldberg, @theatlantic.com, @washingtonweekpbs.social, @adriennelaf.bsky.social, @beccarosen.bsky.social

“It is these constitutional obstacles to a tyrannical president that have made America the greatest nation on Earth for almost 250 years, not the fallen America that Trump delusionally thinks he’s going to make great again tomorrow,” J. Michael Luttig writes:

This persistent split screen keeps freaking me out.

So it’s bad to be a p**sy, but it’s great to have ba*ls. Got it.
