This is an important point to remember every time some yahoo politician who wants to defund the NSF reads the title of a grant in dumbstruck tones: "They're studying the venom of Gila monsters? What? Who's *that* for?" All of us, Gomer. It's how science actually works.

Please!

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

*Taps the skeet.* Pay attention. My father had to sign for my first credit card. It is within the lifetime of we immortals, and we keep warning you that there are people under the delusion that it was a better time. They want to re-create it. It wasn't a better time.

Not enough people get this. Gerry Baker does. The civilization that Trump is threatening is our own.

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.

So, since he did not get the Peace prize, he’s now trying for the “war” prize? Seems to be trying to simultaneously kill as many Iranians AND Americans as possible. Is there a prize for that?

Question — because we are not military experts… Are military aircraft expensive? Because it sure seems like we’re losing a lot of them in Trump’s war of choice nobody really understands

Fox & Friends has completed ignored this absolutely insane Easter morning post from Trump. Hasn't been mentioned on air this morning.

Wondering how it is going to go for Hegseth if Rump dies & Vance becomes prez… given his apparent anti-Catholic stance.

LET'S SPEND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON IMPROVING THE LIVES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT ON KILLING EVERYBODY ELSE. THE WAR WITH IRAN IS STILL ILLEGAL. CONGRESS, WHERE ARE YOU? TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. EP-STEIN! EP-STEIN! EP-STEIN!

We blew up a school, these people are straight up insane. Imagine the roles were reversed, Amy. The United States created an entire new arm of the federal government to wage war on brown people after 9/11 and it's now the biggest, most lawless bunch of thugs on the payroll.

Sending ICE or other federal troops to polling places is illegal. There are specific federal and state laws that make this kind of action unlawful. bit.ly/4s3UQDe

This national stupidity was entirely unnecessary!

That speech is why Tehran sees no need to do a reciprocal assassination. Trump is destroying our country.

OhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease….!

Anyone who wants citizenship to be an inheritance linked to blood, such that out-groups can be unrepresented and exploited by the in-groups, is a fucking fascist and needs to be treated as such.

😵‍💫

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Golden retriever runs 15 feet after owner mimes throwing tennis ball

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

LEFT: A protest *against* Trump. #NoKings RIGHT: A protest *for* Trump. #Jan6 Can you spot the differnce?

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Took 40-odd years but Bruce has finally allowed "Born in the USA" to be used in a commercial. By the ACLU. Supporting birthright citizenship. Yeah.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

True that. Putin agrees.

Everything is a grift with this admin. Absolutely EVERYTHING...

if anything like this actually comes to fruition it is inarguable that donald trump started and comprehensively lost a war in less than a month this is an absolute body blow to the idea of american hegemony

I beg you. Journalists, legacy and otherwise, pundits, podcasters, elected Dems, people here on Bluesky. All of you, STOP calling them "conservatives." They are extremists, radical right wingers. Or just maga. But PLEASE don't use "conservative." They are not. Words have meaning.

Someday, Trump will die as we all must, and on that day, his knuckle-dragging fanbase will be scandalized and aggrieved that anyone would breath a negative word about him upon his death. Remind them of days like today when Trump said he's "glad" that Robert Mueller died.

Stop the #Iran2026War @schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @crockett.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

"fiscal responsibility"...? Way to go GOP. This is on you, *again*.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

We need to: ✅ overturn Citizens United ✅ ban Congressional stock trading ✅ get dark money out of politics To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.

Oh please, oh please, oh pleeeease…

So are there *NO* GOP Sens/Reps who see Reality - & have the guts to help stop this madness? IMPEACH!

I support full release of the unredacted, unabridged Epstein files. If they’re implicated in any way, Republican, Democrat, independent or just POS criminal, let them burn. If it can be destroyed by the truth it deserves to be

UTTERLY & completely clueless.

In fact, replacing the odious, worse-than-worthless Ben Cline with Tom Perriello or Beth Macy, let's say, would represent a MASSIVE (infinite, basically) UPGRADE in representation for those currently MISrepresented by Cline. bluevirginia.us/2026/03/va-r... h/t @jake4va.bsky.social

And this includes anything ‘dunking’ on it, ‘satirising’ it, or ‘can you tell the difference?’ pieces. They’re all ways to get you to engage with generative Ai.

I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.

"Maximun lethality not tepid legality." - Secretary of War Crimes Hegseth And this morning our Orange Führer is musing about mass murdering Iranian civilians and has said we will invade Cuba next. We are becoming the new Axis powers; it will take generations to live down the shame of this.
