Rowing from California to Hawaii.. 1 of 2 Update

The Republicans' fake "progressive" PACs have more power than AIPAC.

i am very torn because i find this obviously absurd and funny but also like... extremely distressing that the president is basically fully delusional and concentrating on winning a battle against phantom algae maquis despite global energy markets still staring down catastrophe (also caused by him)

soooo like, the way Trump processes information has always been fucked up and disordered and run through his wild personality disorder but in Trump 2.0 more and more I find myself wondering if he's no longer taking in information from consensus reality, but is actively delusional?

like, you have to dry it, then clean it, then properly scour it, then repaint it, and then seal it, this will take weeks, this isn’t something they can do quickly, trying to do it quickly was one of the ways they fucked the whole thing up in the first place

The AI bubble is going to burst sooner rather than later. The only question is how much damage it is going to do until it happens and how much of Big Tech it is going to take down with it.

Gonna be very fun watching these get removed in 2029

According to Hamas, "genocide" is when it loses a war it started, but not what its allies the RSF/Janjaweed are doing in Sudan.

Good

Owning a lot of books is great. Packing and moving with a lot of books is not great.

💥💥💥 It is getting loud at the Kerch Bridge in Russian-occupied Crimea. 👉 Soon the bridge will sleep with the Moskva.

Amazing

arresting thor and citing him for vandalizing a federal monument

According to maga being pro-choice is genocide.

like, this isn’t smart or savvy politics or riling up the base, he’s just losing his fucking mind

TRUMP: THE PINK ANTIFA FROG PUT ALGAE IN THE POOL AND CUT A LINE INTO IT every normal person: what in the fuck are you talking about every political pundit: the president today suggested that terrorism might be responsible for the algae problems plaguing the reflecting pool

i will repeat that i think the reflecting pool debacle might actually kill him, he’s losing his mind over it

Is he claiming the reflecting pool was never open when Obama was president

MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.

JUICELESS

Americans are voting this year for Democrats at far higher numbers in primaries and special elections compared with previous contests — even in Republican districts, according to a Washington Post analysis, evidence that voters are unusually motivated heading into November.

to understand this you need to understand that for decades the American right has said that socialism is when the government does stuff, and now a significant portion of people who want the government to do stuff call themselves socialist for many people Obamacare *is* socialism

1/ I don't believe we should take US/UK politics as simple mirrors of each other, but: - Both the US and UK have strong right-wing media channels - Both the US and UK have a rapidly aging electorate with right-wing views based somewhat in misinformation (see above)

Watching climate activists fall for fossil fuel disinformation about solar in rural areas is disappointing yet not surprising. Yes, we need more parking lots covered in solar canopies, but that doesn’t mean that solar farms in rural areas are inherently bad!

That there is a direct quote.

Ross doesn’t like the credit for the very serious work he did to elect a Republican going to someone else.

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

"Two crude tankers with just under 2 ​million barrels of oil sailed ‌through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, ship tracking data showed, ​in a sign that ​traffic was picking up following ⁠weaker flows on Sunday ​due to concerns over passage ​through the waterway." WAOW TWO WHOLE TANKERS

Reporter: Trump ridiculed all former presidents, saying all their Reflecting Pool renovation efforts were a waste of money, and he can do it for less than $2 million. It ended up costing 7 times that much, and shows no signs of working any better.

Reporter: The algae is not under control. It's still there, even though they're trying to get it cleared up. Now they're talking about having to drain the whole thing and start over. Literally putting tax money down the drain.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

DC statehood really needs to be a top priority.

A perfect picture of Trump's presidency: Americans are losing their homes, cutting back at the grocery store, and drowning in bills, while Trump's top priority is cleaning up the Reflecting Pool. America needs a president, not a pool boy.

Texas Republicans recently added additional restrictions to mail-in voting and a ban on IVF to their party platform. This November, we have a major opportunity to grow Dem power in the state to push back against this extreme agenda. We must get it done.

The villain who messed up the reflection pool in Washington looks like this guy from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters @eclecticbrotha1.bsky.social

Russia repeatedly used Belarus' mobile network to guide Russian drones along Ukraine's northern border. Russian war bloggers claimed last night that Belarus has started to block Russian signals, but there is no confirmation from Ukraine that this actually happened.

Ukrainian President issued an ultimatum to Belarus' Lukashenko, demanding that all signal towers must stop operating on behalf of Russian drone activities. The deadline will expire on June 25, 2026. If Lukashenko fails to comply then Ukraine might target those towers, and potentially even more.

And no, you can't remove multiple cabinet members all at the same time. Or justices. Or judges. You have to repeat the process (and the aforementioned cost) for each and every one. And treason is clearly defined under the Constitution in a way that makes it impossible to charge anyone with.

And it won't be appointing a judge to a federal district in Kentucky. It'll be a national abortion ban, or the SAVE Act, or the restriction of LGBTQ+ rights, something that will be so toxic that it can't be stomached by the weak willed electorate Democrats have to answer to.

Granted in the senate, only 1/3 of the electorate is up for a vote, so this doesn't fully apply. But what does apply is a very simple and irrefutable fact: they want to keep their jobs when its their turn. And that means Democrats will have to concede something their voters want more.

Now if you're not familiar, 67 votes is the key number required to remove someone whose been impeached AND the number to override a veto. Now, the simple reality is that elections remove the LEAST partisan politicians, not the most. A D+10 wave election means the only Republicans left are R+11.

But, it's a pretty much given that Democrats will regain control of the house. Meaning that there will be votes on impeachment. But even the most rose colored vote counting has us at maybe a 55/45 senate. And I'll be honest, I'd take the under on that. That means we're at least 12 votes shy of 67.

Okay, reality check time kids. The house requires a simple majority to impeach. Currently the Republicans are obstructing any hearings because, well if the minority party could force impeachment hearings, Biden and Obama would've been testifying every day of their term. But they can't.

Chris Wright: 121 years ago, Albert Einstein... Trump: Nobody cares. Wright: Good point, good point.

Trump, last month: "If you had a knife, you can't even cut the Reflecting Pool. So strong."

All Moscow airports have been closed down due to drone attacks. There are huge crowds as over 150 flights have been delayed or canceled. www.threads.com/@anton_geras...
