I didn't need another reason to not eat out

The best source of information on the Iran war has become British outlets. Let that sink in.

They. Are. Concentration. Camps.

The fact that barely over half of *conservative* lawyers think that the government's lawyers should be trusted to be acting in good faith *screams hard*

Been saying this for years. There are 3 concepts fundamental to counting votes and the US uses the worst of each of the 3

The rant towards the end of the article is refreshing because it could have come from inside my head. I'd like to Rip Van Winkle to the time when the AI bubble has burst and the economy has recovered from it

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

For me, the speed and eagerness with which they're behaving in no fucks given racism is just soooo telling. These people are despicable, and so are the people who vote for them

It's been about 5 years of screaming "WHAT??? YOU CAN'T FUCKING DO THAT" to people and companies as they blatantly violate the law and get away with it and I'd really like this part of the show to end (gift link) - www.vox.com/culture/4878...

Hello yes I'd like to go back to a less shitty timeline please

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Kalshi odds that the speech he reads from the teleprompter refers to this "attempt on his life"?

Oh definitely. Decades from now they'll be laughing and saying "and there weren't any other movies to watch! It was all Marvel!"

If you, like me, had trouble getting this site to work earlier today...

A good media atrocity for @markjacob.bsky.social - this article on @time.com about the failures of Kushner and Witkoff in the Middle East peace talks... fails to mention Kushner's monetary ties to the Saudi govt, and Saudi Arabia's interest in keeping the war in Iran going time.com/article/2026...

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Massive street party in Budapest right now: huge crowds dancing, hugging, crying, and opening bottles. (Reuters)

New newsletter is out, about my first short story getting published in @mythaxis.bsky.social ! seanmyers.substack.com/p/story-publ...

The Breitbart Doctrine is incomplete

I can now say, without controversy, that I am officially a published author of fiction - mythaxis.co.uk/issue-45/

Jesus Christ this really is the worst timeline

As usual, the little guys are the ones that suffer

I, by coincidence, got on here 20m after #TrumpSpeech and now see that it's going exactly as I expected

And these are the writers who "succeeded" in getting published

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

America isn't screwed. It's Borked.

The easiest way to prove citizenship to vote under the SAVE Act is with a passport. NJ has the highest percentage of passport holders, at 80%. WV has the lowest, at 21%. States over 50% are NJ, CAL, MASS, NY, CT, MA, COL, WASH, HA, UT, VA, FL, RI, ILL, NV, NH, MN, AL, OR, TX, and DE

I have a First Amendment joke but I'm not allowed to tell it

I read the first half of that book in 2019.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

This view is now coming from inside the regime

I do think it’s worth pondering how many “mainstream” Republicans from a generation ago have just gone completely insane. It’s like if Tom Daschle was microdosing and tweeting “Hey guys what if just dropped fifty nukes on Donbas? Radioactive buffer zone, Kyiv is safe!”

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

On Saturday, gas was $3.39. Today, $3.69.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it. Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement. I think this is Israel.

Note the publication date

Monday's county legislature vote was so despicable that I got sick. Woke up today with a sore throat and runny nose

"the biggest recipients show a striking pattern: they are all regional, dynastic family businesses and major GOP donors. In addition, they have engaged in legally questionable practices." www.unpopularfront.news/p/magas-peop...

The local sheriff asked the county legislature to let him cooperate with #ICE under #287(g). We mobilized. In just 2 weeks, we organized a protest for before the meeting where they'd vote. I counted 275 outside the building, with more inside. 85 people are speaking. The meeting is at 4.5 hours...

To be fair, the same thing happened to Hitler's Mein Kampf. He literally wrote the thing that detailed what he wanted to do, no one took it seriously, he did the things, and everyone gasped. @parkermolloy.com @newrepublic.com @heritagefoundation lol newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Boom.

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

As a former Tea Party guy, let me say it's astonishing how quickly a lot of people went from "don't tread on me" to "obey or die."

Remember how, in 1984, during a rally, the enemy nation changes from Eurasia to Eastasia and everyone realizes that their protest signs were wrong?

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

In the past 24 hours, the weather forecast has gone from 1-3" of snow to 5-9" Why do I live here?
