Democrat wins Virginia state Senate special election

Tell them. Tell them everything. They need to know. #activism

But what if you're a vegan?

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Donald! ***** www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. 1984...knockin' on your door...

A reminder that the traitorous Republicans have been blocking the installation of this memorial plaque since 2023.

UPDATE: Turning Point Action lead & former AZ-GOP lawmaker Austin Smith was sentenced today after he forged signatures (including a deceased woman’s) for his re-election bid. Smith got 2 years of supervised probation, a $5.5K fine, & (due to AZ law) he’s barred from running for office for 5 years.

It's hard not to be angry at Joe Biden for spending a year mumbling through a DOA re-election campaign, only to leave his successor mere months to run. And at Merrick Garland for wasting years not prosecuting the leaders of J6. And at Nancy Pelosi for not pushing impeachment hours after the riot.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day. Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained. Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

I have no idea what the fuck it will mean if this happens. It will simultaneously be an extremely humiliating and proud moment in American history if it happens, I think.

Comic Sans and Blackletter, I hope.

This cat's ass is definitely sticking to the pan.

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

It’s five years to the day since Donald Trump’s followers attempted to violently overthrow the democratically elected U.S Government following his repeated false claims that the election had been stolen. If there was any justice Trump would be in prison, not the White House.

Fertilize Trump!

I went from “I guess I will always stay in a Hilton from now on” to “I will never stay at a Hilton again” so freaking fast.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

The Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, much of what used to be northern Mexico, and a whole raft of Central American countries have entered the chat. Among others. See also "Send the Marines," by Tom Lehrer.

Why don’t they ever explain that documents tying Hernandez to drug trafficking and money laundering were unsealed in 2019, by Trump’s DOJ? When they answer “I don’t have the facts” give them the facts.

These people are all fucking morons. Every shitass one of them.

It's January 6, aka J6. Happy Attempted Coup D'État Day! In the festive spirit of the holiday, please celebrate irresponsibly.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright... Oh. Wait.

My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

everything keeps getting dumber so I may come to regret this question but does the New York Times have any particular reason to believe the Nazi Pillow guy is a "strong" candidate for governor?

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

This would be highly significant in a democracy

An unlikely supporter of Pascal's Wager, but here we are.

In a stunning breach of diplomatic norms, Trump's ambassador to the Holy See issued a statement that misrepresented Pope Leo’s remarks on Venezuela in order to defend the U.S. military invasion. Such a misrepresentation is unprecedented in the history of formal relations between the two governments

Biologists must display their most marvelous plumage if they are to be accepted by a flock of fellow biologists. We are now witness to this rare yet beautiful phenomenon at the Society of Integrative of Comparative Biology conference in Portland, OR #SICB2026

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Zircon crystals are nearly indestructible, and are some of the only things to survive the hellish pressure and heat of the Haldean Eon, when the earth was formed. The oldest zircons are found in Jack Hills, Australia, where our specimen was found. It may be small, but it's 4.4 billion years old!

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

So when can you start

How would I feel? Delighted!

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

If you want to know which news media organizations are complicit, just look to see which use the word "captured" to describe the abduction of Nicholas Maduro.

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country
