And people wonder why we don't do "civil debate" with bigots.

The man who oversaw the legal approval for the apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank, far east of occupied East Jerusalem, wants to crow about the end of liberal democracy. Look in the mirror.

Friendly reminder that W's Iraq invasion had 65% bipartisan approval when it started, even with debate about whether or not Saddam Hussein actually had WMDs. So the fact that this can't even crack 60% within the GOP is telling. 60% own-party support would typically kill a policy immediately.

We can hold compassion for the range of emotions Venezuelans may be experiencing — including positive emotions — and also be clear that regime change by a fascist superpower is dangerous, destabilizing, and sets precedents that will not stop at Venezuela. Those aren’t contradictory positions.

This is extremely well-said. The nakedness of power--the shameless declaration of "yes of course we're there for the oil"--is an inescapable feature of Trumpism. MAGA is and always has been about fetishizing the refusal to apologize.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.”

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

I really need people to pay attention this week to which Dems do something about America kidnapping a world leader & his partner and which Dems use Jeffries' 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed, but also good job' statement to continue business as usual.

What the fuck is this supposed to be a picture of? It looks like a seventh grade project on Al Capone.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

‘Like a television show!’ Trump shares how he watched Venezuelan attack from luxury resort www.rawstory.com/venezuela-26...

The Wall Street Journal trying to explain how actually, Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago isn’t going to do it. That said, at this point, it’s pretty clear Trump is basically untouchable.

Which is absolutely batshit.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

You really should check the historical record first “I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not, um, he’s an Arab,” youtu.be/JIjenjANqAk?...

In case anyone is wondering, there are zero good reasons for the US actions in Venezuela z

Tell me more about a rising tide? Any of that is just accidental.

this report is so grim. i and the authors both appear to have hoped that earlier projections would turn out to be significantly, overly pessimistic when compared to the reality later on. but they haven’t been

This sounds familiar... "We'll be unapologetically patriotic" - Washington Post Opinion Editor Adam O' Neal, 6/11/2025

As a late 40s retired person with no kids, yeah, it’s great. You do whatever the hell you want. Also the “only half over” as if the other half is a looming problem is just really weird energy.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This is the America I want. One that seeks to not be what it once was.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

“chemical and surgical modification of an individual’s sex traits through medical interventions” That’s where we’re at with the US federal government banning gender affirming care. It’s absolutely batshit, considering they cover viagra.

Love this. The problem with the news is too many knowledgeable opinions helping to tell compelling stories, not enough uninformed slop.

This is Very Normal Behavior

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

A lot of people point to AI being confidently wrong in its answers as a sort of proof it isn’t intelligent in the way we usually mean. But consider the thought that goes on in conservative circles today. Those are the confidently wrong thoughts of what is in theory the smartest being on the planet

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

I just sniped a kid in Overwatch and he wrote "ohhh Kirked me" and I just found out they're using that as shorthand for a good snipe HOLY SHIT LOL

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Next up, Suzanne Moore shows again how cisgender people don’t understand transgender people, likening being transgender boy to a gender-bent Peter Pan: a cisgender girl who fears adulthood whilst being a stereotypical tomboy.

There are probably roughly 30M Americans that are both roughly progressive leaning and in an acceptable age range to run for the presidency. Democrats have so far seemed to suggest there are only two. I fucking refuse.

Israel is banning the Nobel Peace Prize-winning humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders from operating in Gaza starting on New Year’s Day. www.nbcnews.com/world/israel...

Who agrees? ✋

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Nazi shit
