Paul, from the Ironworkers, is addressing the crowd. He denounces the war in Iran and again calld for a day of action on May 1. "I know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna put my fucking tools down," he says. He leads several chants, ending on "working class ain't nothing to fuck with!"

My body still constantly demanding more protein many hours I get back from the gym

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

What’s the difference between a golf ball and a Mercedes? Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball more than 300 yards without hitting a tree. 😬🫣🤭

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

this whole thing is very much like being locked in a room with a guy with a grenade who keeps being like IM GONNA DO IT IM GONNA PULL THE PIN and then is like “actually nah” and then everyone sighs but you’re still locked in the same room with the same guy and he’s still holding the same grenade

A reminder that nearly three months ago, Trump was on the brink of invading Greenland but at the last minute called it off because of a supposed 11th-hour agreement, which has never been seen or mentioned since. This is how he works.

This is real

the funniest outcome here is that Iran insists on tolls and we have to figure out a way to backchannel payment to them to let ships through for the next two weeks to pretend they agreed to the ceasefire

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

I have these images saved on my phone from 2019. oh boy did we not know how bad it’d get

French guy puffing on a cigarette nonchalantly telling Americans to take a personal day off from their unionized jobs and travel on properly funded and well-maintained rail infrastructure to the capital city which houses 20% of the population to fling catapults of pig shit at the White House

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

It's wild how disciplined the right wing is about both paying their wordsmiths fairly *and* making sure their content is free to access

Pro-Trump media outlet The Blaze is "in the fetal position" over how much they may have to pay for falsely accusing a Capitol Police officer of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber. Now they've fired their star reporter over the story. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/the-blaze-...

Oh he’s a big ol’ sicko.

Many of you (understandably) don’t check X, so you might be unaware that several Iran embassies and consulates have become ruthlessly sarcastic anti-Trump shitposters

Younger me with hair, Seth Rogen. Older me with no hair, JK Simmons

the right once freaked out because obama sent a short message to kids telling them to do a good job in their school year and listen to their parents and teachers (this was back in 2009 if you go look it up)

This is the Republican Party in a nutshell: preferring a president who does war crimes over one who expresses warmth toward people who are different

Showing up at Saturday greenmarkets all across the country and asking vendors if they've "got any lung meat" in a voice that sounds like a skillet falling down a flight of stairs.

The Luca Blight Battle in Suikoden 2 is top tier. He's such a fantastic villain, incredibly menacing, relentlessly cruel. It takes 3 teams of 6 people to beat him! And then he's still not done and the hero has to duel him! And his Iast words before he finally dies are "I am the true face of evil!!"

Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

We're led by an administration of comic book villains

that dilaudid truly hits different

I’ve run campaigns and worked on campaigns. If you don’t vote, do you know how much we worry about what you think? Zilch. Zero. We don’t waste money contacting you, knocking your door, trying to figure out what you want. You’re a political nullity, triaged away in favor of consistent voters.

Someone tell my dad you can't just send someone 6 different reels and memes all at once while not even laugh reacting one of the two I sent you

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

KD is truly not appreciated enough

Bron doing this at 41 is INSANE!!! #NBA

I have been thinking a lot about this article & the "BIDEN'S TOTAL FAILURE IN AFGHANISTAN!" coverage in 2021, & there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of that coverage & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran/NATO/Trump now.
