It's important to remember that Donald Trump lies constantly, but this is Donald Trump declaring that he has used the United States military to extort Venezuela into giving him $1.7-2.7 billion for his personal use.

Is open pillaging legal? Asking for a rules-based international order.

And any time Trump or one of his flunkies say “taking X will pay for itself” the retort should be “he’s filed for bankruptcy six times”

liberals need to think long and hard about what these guys consider communism before they start thinking they're safe

Listening to members of our community must be a priority. Showing up for members of our community must be a priority. Great neighbors, like Michael and Edward, are part of why I’m proud to call this city my home. We will fight, not fold - for ALL New Yorkers.

Once again, creating CSAM is not (just) a regulatory matter, it is a crime.

I heard an NPR reporter refer to January 6th as "perhaps the most videotaped crime in history" which is a really good way to drive home just how ridiculous and brazen the Republican attempts to rewrite history have been.

The American Dream is outside USA these days, it seems

5 years since they stormed the capital

This person has the nuclear codes. Republicans could stop him from having them, but they choose not to.

I know it's said ad nauseum but pretend Biden said these words into a mic and how fast the headlines would start flying about dementia and 25th. Just wild that the media is letting this go and sucking him off for killing people in Venezuela and stealing their oil

Amazing how he always says Obama with a hard R.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

If we banned gender reveal parties altogether I cannot imagine that we would collectively lose anything of value

“Our games suck so much we will sell you a bot so you can not play them” is a hell of a marketing strategy.

Trading the Nobel Peace Prize to the president of the United States so he’ll militarily install you as president of your country seems a bit contrary to its intended purpose

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point: The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports

why is the Financial Times to the left of the Washington Post editorial board

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

One way to look at this X / Grok torrent of harassment is to remember that the people who are posting this shit are people actual human women have to deal with every day in person and who have probably never experienced a consequence for the way they treat those women.

#OnThisDay 6 January 1987 The Sun has this cartoon dig at fired #DoctorWho star #ColinBaker - "Sorry, there are no vacancies on Mercury . . . shall I try Mars?"

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay. Nope.

Have I mentioned that e-bikes are amazing?

These fuckers were on top of the world and their grandfathers had managed to get much of that world to buy in to their being on top and they're now tearing apart the best deal America is ever going to get to make their dicks semi-hard

Imagine having the ability to stop the destruction of NATO close at hand, and announcing you won't be using it.

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

Five years ago.

I guess the creators of Octonauts like Dr. Who

Relatedly: So many of our political and media class are bloodless technocrats who proclaim themselves to be liberal but are not people who will fiercely articulate or defend their values and that is feels like betrayal and spinelessness

Make no mistake. This is what “MAHA” means:

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason
