And guess what? President Harris would have refused as well. But no. Millions of people had a chance to block a fascist from taking power with their vote and chose not to do so.

My medium-spicy take is it genuinely doesn't matter what most fandoms think and giving them weight and air is the pop culture internet's version of writing up what you saw wriggling under a nearby rock because you gotta spend 800 words and/or a thread of posts on SOMEthing

The way this guy continues to just get it, unparalleled

There is no McTry.

It’s quite simple: people have increasingly lost the ability to appreciate nuance. It’s much easier to cast things into bins labeled good and bad rather than grapple with the gray area in between

We all love movies but people are way way too one-dimensional about them. There is so much to see and learn about in world! Find another hobby! (Oops, that’s both a good take and relevant, oh well)

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

Melania Trump making a wholly unsolicited speech about how she didn’t have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is like if I blurted out at a dinner party, “I was not the person who robbed that Wells Fargo yesterday.” Well, except for the part about me never having actually robbed a Wells Fargo.

As aside, this is one speech Melania didn’t plagiarize from Michelle Obama.

hey guys I was thinking about calling a press conference about how I’m not close with any human traffickers just so you know that I’m not close with any human traffickers but not for any specific human trafficking related reason

“False smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals,” she says .. Here’s friendly reminder that Melania helped boost her husband’s ugly and racist birther lies: www.teenvogue.com/story/melani...

Right,. aside from the emails between them, and the photographs of them together, and the address books with her info in them, the sworn statements of witnesses, and the affidavit from Epstein's assistant that he introduced her to Trump, there is not a shred of evidence supporting the allegations.

LEFT: Vicious inhumanity celebrating the misfortune of others. RIGHT: Joyous humanity celebrating the accomplishments of each other.

Literally.

There is no such thing as birthright citizenship for illegal aliens. If you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. That's what the Constitution clearly states. And, as usual, Republicans want to ignore the Constitution.

One of my greatest accidental accomplishments is never having read or watched any Harry Potter. Not engaging with the series was on purpose. My lack of engagement becoming an accomplishment was the accidental part. Even without reading or watching it, I still know way more about it than I want to.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Strait's back open, T. We got two weeks to get more Persian broads into the Bing.

So to recap, Trump: - Started a war for no reason on the belief that Iran would surrender immediately - Killed thousands including over 100 elementary schoolgirls - Threatened genocide up to and including nuclear war - Then backed down in exchange for a worse position than the US had before ?

If I were a bus driver I would 100% make the doors chomp on people and be like “oh my gosh I’m so sorry he’s just really hungry right now” and then chomp on them again and then get fired

Now viewing.

people will scold you for joking around when things seem really scary and fucked up. brother, those are the times what we invented joking around for

RESULT: Democrats have flipped this school board seat in Tulsa. They ousted the conservative board member I wrote about here, who suggested that immigrant children endanger other kids.

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

It's a blowout victory for the Democrat in the statewide Supreme Court vote in Wisconsin, a state Trump won in 2024.

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

STUNNING: Trump is now bragging about agreeing to use Iran’s 10-point peace framework as the basis for negotiations. Here’s what that 10-point framework includes. There’s no other way to spin this—it’s complete and utter capitulation.

It is the most dangerous kind of abuser that threatens to kill their partner, points the gun to their head, and then lowers the gun at the last possible minute. That’s what Trump just did. 1/

Alright let's see. In 2019 Trump was angrily posting about the 1.8 billion in cash the Obama administration gave Iran in 2016. 1.8 billion divided by 2 million is 900. Prior to the start of this war, about 135 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz every day.

Two weeks is ample time for the Congress to get organized & invoke the 25th Amendment. That is, if they have any kind of a spine.

Color me completely unimpressed until articles are rolled out and a conviction is made. Ive seen this show before. Ive heard this all before. Jan. 6 should have been the end of it. It wasnt.

$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

All of this was very foreseeable but lots of people spent the election prosecuting their precious factional disputes rather than rallying to prevent a fascist from taking office and so here we are.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

"I can not believe America has becom--" bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

The next time someone scolds me for saying that the Republican Party is a disease, I’ll share this.

I keep hearing about how concerned they are "in private." Fuck every last Republican for remaining silent.

ah yes, Pod Jon telling people to watch Tucker Carlson monologuing about how Trump’s actions will be deleterious to his Christian white nationalist vision of America, fucking hell… how fucking hard is it to not give Nazis airtime?

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

This is completely backwards, of course, and a reminder that Trump has turned our Department of Justice into his own personal law firm with a specialization in revenge. A statement like this should prompt calls for his resignation.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

The Iranians forming human shields on bridges and around infrastructure have more faith in Donald Trump's humanity and impulse control than I do.

Most of the social programs that are routinely dismissed in American politics as "unrealistic" or "too expensive" could have been paid for multiple times over by the cost of this war so far, much less the costs to come. It's never the money.
