America already lost the war. Now we all have to wait to see how many years it takes them to admit it.

One place that parts of the left and right seem to be united is the belief that the president can stop the war in Iran if he wants to. I think they’re going to be disappointed.

Trump has run into the thing that sunk him in his first term, which is a crisis he can’t undo by backing down on a previous decision. It doesn’t matter if he declares victory and withdraws because it won’t end the war that he started.

I’m taking a moment to consider how insane it is that Trump has led America into a war that has now driven oil prices up over $115 a barrel, and he has yet to make a public address to the American people to explain why he started this war.

I think this week is the week that a lot of people not in insurance learn what the term force majeure means for their daily lives.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.

I can’t wait to hear about how close Cuba is to developing a nuclear weapon.

People on here as the US Constitution grows massive biceps, bursts out of its display case, runs to the White House, and clotheslines Trump: “I told you the Constitution wouldn’t allow it!”

Obviously Iran having nukes would be a very bad thing. But given how the USA acts on the global stage, I don’t think you can blame other countries for believing they will be safer and more secure if they can get nukes.

As the USA careens into another unprovoked war in the Middle East, we should keep the Cheney family front of mind, as they are again reminded of how Dick-less they are.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

It wasn't enough to send a racist paramilitary to invade Minnesota, now Trump is implementing a blockade of the entire state. We need our states to enact solidarity measures. Concrete action, not just words. Call your governors. @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, step up.

Has someone let Pam Bondi that the Dow is under 50,000 again?

I think some people are going to be surprised how little today’s Supreme Court decision affects the shift away from the USA in international affairs. Once a movement like that gets started, it creates its own momentum going forward, and it’s not like Trump has been removed from power

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

this story quotes: - A trump ambassador - A museum run by Trump appointees - Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors ... aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

I love my Eugene

Yes, liberals have guns too. You don't hear much about it because we treat our guns the same way Republicans treat abortions. We have them, but we just don't talk about them.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

If you're renting a car, don't rent from Enterprise. Apparently, they are renting cars to ICE in Minnesota.

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island. If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time. Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.

If ICE breaches your front door and the pieces of the door fly far enough to land in the kitchen, would that finally be considered a "kitchen table" issue?

Every picture of Bovino looks like an outtake from the scene in the Dark Knight where Heath Ledger's Joker isn't wearing makeup.

Acting Field Director David Easterwood.

Important perspective from Greenland.

Being here every day and watching American posters yell at senators for not invoking the 25th Amendment, or members of the House for not delivering the president to the Hague, or the media for not impeaching Trump really doesn't give me a lot of confidence in any potential post-Trump administration.

I’m probably about to be banned from CNN — but someone has to say this about Scott Jennings. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Precisely.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras. Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

BREAKING: Condition of ICE agent that murdered unarmed civilian has been reassessed and his wound has been upgraded from "ouchie" to "boo-boo", though surgeons report that his tactical pants suffered considerable internal damage and they were unable to save them.

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

To the "civility" people, saying the word "fuck" is violence, but the cops shooting tear gas is "peace keeping", ripping a parent from their children is "doing their job". They want to control the definition of violence and their monopoly on the use of it.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

There are people on here claiming that Trump doesn't have the power to cancel elections because elections are held at the state level, and I think that's probably true. However, I've yet to find one such poster who will explain how states can force a GOP congress to seat new Democratic members.

One thing about the US mainstream media finally covering ICE shooting people in the streets is that we might be done with the interminable articles where some tourist trap owner in the USA tries to come up with reasons the tourists aren't flooding in from other countries.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

It's like a Bizarro World version of Norman Rockwell's painting of six-year-old Ruby Bridges getting escorted past racists by federal marshals.

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

They're using Grok to deepfake Renee Good's body into a bikini.

Who knew that a decapitation strike on an authoritarian government might lead to violence and chaos? Other than anyone who's read anything from any era of history, that is? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I posted these to insta yesterday because I really don’t know what else to do. A portion of these sticker sales will go to the ACLU. Keep each other safe.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in south Minneapolis has been identified as Jonathan Ross, the Star-Tribune reports

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...
