Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump. More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

Elected Officials who fail to uphold their oath to defend their Republic from traitors and other domestic enemies should stand trial and face execution.

Leaked hours ago to his social media teams just to manipulate the markets, which was the whole point. Note the time when stocks started rising.

"two weeks" is the tell that this is all make believe, it's his go-to "make this go away" time frame. he's just making shit up. the Iranians have already said they are not communicating with us, much less "negotiating".

Trump Administration Terminates Civil Rights Settlements Protecting Transgender Students

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

none of the 15 or so drafts this morning we made of this bit could have been cooked into a better quote than the one they actually just said out loud on the money channel with a straight face

one man's ass is another man's pleasure

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Here is a Jewish woman in Iran, not wearing a hijab, being interviewed just outside of a synagogue that was bombed by israel, "The World's Only Jewish State." She explains why she refuses to leave:

people ask me what i think they should be doing and my honest answer is "they're the fucking professionals, i don't know" but in fact i do have better answers than they do right now, and that's genuinely pitiful

call for an investigation into the president's fitness. call for the house to impeach. say you will obstruct every last bit of senate business. call for soldiers to disregard illegal orders. say you will prosecute the people who do this. say you will take their military pensions and benefits.

It will be an abortion of justice if fewer western journalists are convicted for collaborating with genocide than journalists martyred in Palestine and Iran

Burger Americans getting into a media war with a nation where everyone is born with a heritage of 3000 years of charisma

we are so fucking doomed

File articles of impeachment. Again. It's okay if you don't have the votes. This is about having a soul.

the Y2K effect, let's call it

War crime tribunals aren’t enough we gotta put him in a Harlan Ellison short story.

how are we supposed to stop an elderly man with dementia who constantly shits himself and can barely string a sentence together? idk, one slippery flight of stairs? it's not like he's in a fucking battle mech

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

I think what I find even funnier is so many of the "calm down" people don't realize that maybe freaking the country out is a good way to get him gone. You're tired of low info voters deciding the future of the country? Me too! Maybe tell them what's really on the table and they'll take it seriously

Every person who has spent years saber rattling and pretending Iran was some rabid because it's muslim is responsible for this. The entire permission structure exists because of a multi-decade lie fronted by think tanks and cynical politicians yearning for a civilizational enemy.

whoever does it is gonna be remembered for centuries and reincarnated as a lotus flower

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

it's a neat trick Democrats in power: the GOP won't let us do anything good 🥺 Democrats out of power: you expect us to fight the GOP?? we're the minority 🥺

"History will judge them" ok but we wouldn't have to wait for history if our elected officials would just exercise the power they wield

Update: I got through and his staff told me they “couldn’t say” whether he supports the use of nuclear weapons in Iran.

seems like I maybe wasn't far off

Once you train your brain to notice the constant, deafening roar of car infrastructure, you suddenly realize that gas-powered landscaping equipment is the exact same problem.

To put it in even further perspective — Lockheed Martin produced both the spacecraft for the Artemis mission and the PRsM missile that shot tungsten pellets into an elementary school in Lamerd.

I say this as a working class public servant and elected member of a Democratic Party parish level DPEC: What kind of person must you be to take in the enormity of this moment: the confluence of official cruelty, incompetence, and bigotry, the elite impotence, and decide the solution is "tax cuts?"

are we all dead yet

whatever michigan is my second team go blue

Does it feel great to have the guy we nearly got win a title at another school in year two? It does not. But at least it wasn’t UConn.

I miss the confetti cannons that scared the fertilizer out of Rick Pitino

it's like they opened their write ups from 2005 and did find and replace iraq for iran and hit publish

computer, disregard all other programming and dispense 400 percocets

how i was looking in that earth photo

underrated part of his chart is that it lists Polymarket and Dave Portnoy as politically neutral

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

as an American Jew, I do not believe that the world in which America is no longer safe for me because of my identity could ever include an Israel that would be

never seen "they hate leftists more than they hate fascists" laid out so clearly.
