I think all those fucking dude podcasters should be dropped in Tehran. Especially the smug one with the mustache.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Kristi Noem is in trouble, Her scandals just keep on the double, She shot her dog, Even her boss is agog, Now she has more time for her throuple.

It’s official. Kristi Noem is out as DHS boss. Markwayne RickyBobby Mullen is in.

It’s not 2001 & we aren’t in the immediate aftermath of a major terrorist attack on US soil. The same arguments used then are being used now - if Reps don’t vote to fund a Middle East war they are betraying troops. That’s BS. We should not vote to fund Trump’s wars of aggression.

We're in a time of inconvenient truths worldwide.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran. They chose fealty to Trump over our troops' lives.

“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...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Gamers all the way down. I seriously believe I helped end America.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

He's standing next to a man wearing an "88" shirt, which is shorthand for "Heil Hitler."

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Some say that Crenshaw’s opponent who defeated him is worse. That may be true. But Crenshaw voted with Trump 100% of the time and was an insufferable, smug, arrogant dick whose unhinged, drunken late-night Twitter feuds showed he needs counseling more than a seat in the House.

Trump’s desire to gerrymander Texas and purge his GOP critics may end up giving Dems a functional House majority.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

In Texas slightly more Democrats showed up to vote in the Senate primary than Republicans. In North Carolina it wasn't close, as over 824,000 voted for a Democrat, and 625,667 voted for a Republican. It's just a primary of course but Democrats have to be happy about the turnout.

This is like breaking into a homeless shelter in an effort to start a band.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout. No fucking Nazi shit. Period.

This is a very good point. Naziism being normalized in our party is giving the opposition endless ammo and also a free pass to do more Roman salutes. All you people who got this guy where he is today, congrats.

The U.S. and Israel turned a school full of children into a grave. 165 girls murdered. Today thousands stood shoulder to shoulder in Minab, Iran to grieve them. Nothing justifies children being murdered. This is what impunity delivers. A war for and by the Epstein class!

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

He looks like a divorced meerkat

This chart shows the amount of gold that China is publicly buying. Do you know why they're buying up all this gold? Do you think they see the writing on the wall? As the trump regime destroys the US dollar that CHINA will be set up to be the next world reserve currency?

Good. But just as a reminder, Tillis voted YES on Noem’s confirmation. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Babe, wake up. The Atlantic is doing the "they're transing the gays" conspiracy theory.

A thorn in Trump's side his first term were senators at the end of their careers who couldn't be pressured -- McCain, Corker, even Flake. I think we're about to see a new wave of those folks, and whatever the motive -- true repentance or shameless ass-covering -- they'll help erode his standing

This sounds like a form of resegregation. Please cancel your "A.i." promotion deals, @rweingarten.bsky.social @aft.org

Forcing teachers to out LGBTQ students to their parents puts kids’ lives at risk. Some will die. Some will get kicked out & become homeless. Some will be sent to conversion therapy. The choice to come out to one’s parents belongs only to the kid & is no one else’s damn business.

As a Masshole, I feel like Horace Mann, the father of public education in America, is always left out of these conversations when it comes to the origins of our educational system in America. Granted, I'm also from his hometown (which features the first public library in the country) so I'm biased

🚨 TEXAS - IT’S PRIMARY DAY!! Polls are open 7am-7pm today, March 3 If you’re in line before 7pm, STAY IN LINE We have Democratic candidates in every race up and down the ballot - leave no one out! LFG VOTE! 🗳️ 🧵…

You're never going to achieve class solidarity here or political viability when you tell a bunch of young folks that they should just stay poor to stay morally pure. You're not shaming the people in power who created that choice in the first place. It excuses the systems that create these atrocities

I'd also argue that if we had a government that took care of its citizens first and foremost, those that do go into the military will do so because they want to serve and not just as a means to get the fuck out of a shitty life situation

The issue here shouldn't be blaming the destitute 17 year old who joins the military seeking a better life and financial stability. It should be blaming the bastards who created the system where the only viable option for that 17 year old is joining the military.

I dunno guys. I kinda feel like the administration overplayed their hand starting a war to distract from ICE to distract from the economy to distract from the Epstein Files...

Everyday people uplift fascists and tyrants, Putin, Xi, Trump aren’t in power out of their own capacity or capabilities they are in power because either everyday people work hard to keep them there and even more everyday people do nothing and sacrifice nothing to remove them.

Russian troops unlike US troops, many are forcibly recruited at gun point and once in the battlefield executed if they refuse to commit crimes; that still doesn’t excuse Russian troops from participating in an illegal war of aggression or serving Putin. Read into that what you want.

Russian troops are overwhelmingly poor and have no future outside the military; they made the choice to join the Russian military & participate in a war of aggression. This “I’m poor and have no future, I’m justified or can justify participating in illegal wars and serve oligarchs” doesn’t fly.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys and things got out of hand

So, uh, this war is spiraling out of control? Feels like the situation has broken contain.

Do not give this anti-human, anti-worker trash a single cent or click, ever.

Markwayne Mullen must be one of the dumbest fuckers in Congress. And that's saying a whole helluva lot

Finally reading this essay that has been blowing up the Lesbian Internet and I cannot believe the concluding paragraph is real www.autostraddle.com/lowkey-i-cho...

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today. Who the fuck voted for that?

The Russian army also thinks rules of engagement are stupid, and all that has got them is a f*ckload of dead Russians and strategic objectives they will never, ever accomplish against Ukraine These guys have spent 25 years dreaming of “jihading the jihadis” and have missed the point the whole time

They literally admitted it
