I'm thinking DJT is watching the protests and wondering if it's enough to declare a national emergency. It'll be the only way to remain as President after 2028. I suspect he'll continue to turn up the heat to cause more and civil disruptions.

Democrats don't complain about Israeli actions against Palestinians w/ US tax money because Israeli Advocacy groups have bribed their leadership, Schumer and Jeffries, to be compliant w/ Israeli demands. How is this different from a mob boss bribing a policeman to look the other way? It's just evil.

I want Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to publicly disavow Israeli advocacy money. No Democrat, regardless of religion, should be accepting contributions from groups advocating for an ethnostate which practices apartheid. Man up, Democrats, and do what your atheist/agnostic supporters want.

US Evangelicals vote overwhelmingly for the GOP, and atheists/agnostics for Democrats. But the GOP considers Christians to be part of their base, while Democrats ignore the non-religious. We need to force Democrats to take our support seriously, and care about issues of importance to us.

#arsenal Is White out of form or in decline?

I would welcome a no holds barred primary battle between a candidate subsidized by special interests and one who works only for taxpayers. May the truth win out.

I want to remind everyone Alito, Roberts, and Thomas are drinking brandy, smoking cigars, and thinking they are enforcing the moral standards they grew up with, while our country is suffering from the effects of their refusal to be fair.

As of today, neither of the Democratic Minority leaders, Schumer in the Senate and Jefferies in the House, has endorsed the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. With Trump endorsing Cuomo, and threatening NYNY w/ boycott of federal funds if Mamdani wins, now would be the time. Why?

@arsenalguy1891.bsky.social Still laughing?

I want someone to explain to me why Sam Stein of the Bulwark thought this statement was extremely anti-Semitic: "Charlie Kirk is owned by his Jewish donors and his loyalty doesn't lie with Christians Christ is King" I'm an atheist so please be rational.

#Arsenal Though I'm losing faith in Arteta, Eze on the left, replacing Trossard, and Odegaard to the 10. Is Saliba well enough to play a half?

How long before Dems admit we're in a religious war, where one side takes advantage of tax benefits for their superstition, while the other side subsidizes it w/ increased tax assessments?

Democrats are behaving like the GOP before they got in power. They are gleeful over Kimmel's symbolic victory, while SCOTUS continues to shred the Constitution and good judgement. The GOP lays on its back while letting an incompetent make every decision, including foreign policy. Fight back.

In 2016 we lost 3 SCOTUS appointments when D's lost to the weakest GOP candidate in 100 years. Hillary's incompetent campaign and unlikeability doomed it. Yet, she still engenders support from those who admire her as qualified and astute. That attitude, in a nutshell, is why we still have Trump.

I expect little from the current six conservatives on SCOTUS, but today's ruling was as stunning in its hypocrisy as the Florida ruling in Bush/Gore ruling. They're shameless.

It's all becoming amazing. It's a societal spiral of fragmentation. The more we fight back against it, the greater their resolve to fight us. It a religious war to them, they're fighting you and your agnosticism, me and my atheism. They won't surrender 'cause they're doing God's work.

#filmsky Watched 'To Die For' (Gus Van Sant, 1995) for the first time since its original theatrical release. Still think it's a great film.

I shuddered when former aide to Obama, Jon Favreau, concluded his exchange w/ JD Vance w/ this piece of Evangelical tripe: 'I could go on, but you get the point. Have a blessed day.'

It's no surprise to me Megyn Kelly (Is Megyn on her birth certificate?) was raised and still is a practicing Catholic. Most of the public faces of Trump supporting women are, and wear confirmation crosses on their necks. All 6 of the conservative SCOTUS justices are also inculcated Catholics.

Megyn Kelly is a successful Suzanne Stone Maretto, played by Nicole Kidman in 'To Die For.'

Is there a way to mute all posters who only allow their followers to respond to their posts? I don't even want to see their arrogant, solipsistic, and needy posts.

Do people realize this gives Trump a license to arrest any opposition viewpoint? Especially since there is no 'antifa' organization.

Did Homan claim his 50,000 on his tax form? Easy enough for a reporter to ask him or the Trump administration. If they were actually interested in finding out the truth, instead of finding better paying jobs.

Trump explicitly making divisive remarks at Kirk's funeral just show he's read a page from the Authoritarian's Handbook: Two violent allies are worth more then 200 peaceful ones.

Impossible for Dems to fight corruption in government if their leadership is chosen for their ability to make buckets of corporate cash. Pelosi stopped the fight for Universal HC by accepting money from health insurance companies, and Schumer gained Senatorial leadership w/ Israeli advocacy money.

#filmsky Werckmeister Harmonies has been in my lifetime best ten list for many decades, surviving many list iterations.

Maybe not this decade, but please tell me how we avoid billionaires determining the future of all other citizens of the US in the future? The only way I see out of this economic imprisonment is revolution. Don't let prosperous Democratic politicians tell you to be careful. They're societal winners.

Again: Two revolutions are needed. The first in the Democratic Party. We'll never stop plutocratic fascism with the current crew of donor dependent politicians. In fact, most will be exposed in the second revolution.

#Arsenal Until I read this article I was ambivalent about City and its ownership. Now, as an American who sees nascent plutocracy on its shores, I hate them:

Ted Cruz and commentators are laying the blame on Brendan Carr when it's certain the order came from Trump. Tiresome to see all fall behind Trump's flimsy pillow fort.

At Bilbao, when Rice took the early yellow, I hoped he would be pulled at HT. There's the obvious danger of another yellow and subsequent red. But, more importantly, Rice w/ a yellow is only a slightly above average player. His engine is restrained. If you've got depth, pull him for a fresh player.

As much shit as Millennials and Zzzzs give Boomers, at least we stood up during the Viet Nam war. They're children blaming parents for their discontent, slinking off to their rooms to stream YouTube content singing, 'Que Sera Sera'.

It's fun to think back to the anti-Vietnam demonstrations of the sixties. Our government failed due to foolish decisions made by leadership. Now the government is making ugly and imperious decisions, our youth have decided it's all copacetic as long as they get a piece of the plutocratic action.

Brendan Carr got his law degree from Columbus School of Law of the Catholic University of America. I'm assuming he's on the short list for a SCOTUS nomination.

When the conservative Catholics on SCOTUS ruled corporations had the same first amendment rights as individuals in Citizens United VS FCC, what did they think would happen? Many Americans predicted plutocracy would be the result, and it turns out they were right. Was SCOTUS dim-witted or inculcated?

Ridiculous to put any Trump appointed government official in front of any congressional committee. They only mimic what Trump wants them to say and are afraid to answer truthfully for fear of Trump's ire.

We spend billions on national defense to preserve the American way of life. We could have saved our money, as Trump and the GOP plutocrats invaded and have now overtaken that way of life.

The longer we tolerate the incursions on our tights, the more difficult it will be to uproot. Question 1: What do we do now?

Do the Epstein documents belong to the US taxpayer or to Donald Trump? No rational person would say they belong to DJT. Unfortunately, the conservative Catholics on SCOTUS are not rational people, they are believers in superstition, and that superstition will rule their decision.

Little to complain about Arteta's subs when he brings on two who both score. With Arsenal's bench, it seems he could make earlier substitutions, and save the legs of their starters for the weekend's match against City. Also, w/ Rice's early yellow, why not put Nwaneri in Merino's spot and pull Rice.

How dare the international community criticize Israel! Due to the Holocaust they are immune from criticism. "'I want to be clear: Isolating, ostracizing and penalizing Israel is falling prey to the manipulations of agents of chaos,' Herzog said at a German embassy event."

As Israeli forces advance toward Gaza City, UN condemns, while US media is still consumed by one man killing another man.

Tim Howard is the perfect pundit for UK watchers. American, black, played for Man U. He's to UK viewers what Beckham is to US viewers.

At the beginning of the student protest against Israeli attacks on innocent Palestinians, I engaged in a BS debate w/ Tom Nichols of the Atlantic. He refused to admit they were protesting Israeli policy instead of engaging anti-Semitic rhetoric. He blocked me for my views. 1/2

@msnbc.com If @chrislhayes.bsky.social can't be bothered to work 4 days a week, please replace him w/ @velshi.com or someone else. Chris no longer seems to care.

There is no doubt in my mind that religious inculcation is responsible for America's divisive political landscape. We not only give them tax breaks, our media treads carefully around their feet, fearing any criticism will make them cry like the babies they are.

Great start to the USMNT/Japan friendly. The US national anthem rendition stunk. This cycle has been deteriorating since it began. USSF is a one bad trick pony.

Just watched 'The Blue Dahlia' for the first time in 40 years. Raymond Chandler's script is excellent. Too bad a better director like Siodmak or Lang wasn't hired. The direction was competent but vanilla.

Madueke looks comfortable and dangerous on the ball. How are Arsenal going to get Saka, Eze, and Madueke in the same line up?
