Now THIS is a military hero. Not the fucks blowing up fishing boats or the 60 to 75% of the chuds that voted for...*gestures around*... this.

Capitalism is not a moral framework. It is completely amoral and self-serving as a code of human interaction. It grants exponential power to those who have more power and takes it from those without. It laughs at efforts to paint as a moral framework, because that only strengthens and benefits it.

It's a deeply horrific tragedy that Biden did not announce at the beginning of his term he wouldn't be running again. Equally a horrific tragedy that Tim Waltz said he will not be running for *anything* when he made so many *right* decisions and passed so much actual pro-life lege. Bizarro world.

You are a clown and a huge reason why Trump and the republicans get whatever they want.

these people are fucking pudding brained macaques, with the souls of buckets of hair and fingernail clippings

hmm

Pam Bondi’s firing does not dismiss the injustices that occurred on her watch.

No worries, you'll get a recovery package as your votes are the only votes that count

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

RFK Jr. is taking away our access to new cancer screening and other preventative strategies in plain sight and he is getting away with it. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force is not allowed to meet so they can’t issue disease prevention recommendations that must be covered under the ACA.

We're about to find out that her partner covers himself with mahjong tiles and pretends to be an alligator on onlyfans or something

We shoulda had the astronauts give the speech and shot Trump into space

ohhhhhhh 💯 yep

Marvin Gaye. Born on this day in 1939.

A massive plume of desert dust swept into Greece, filtering sunlight like a sunset and surrounding Crete in an eerie, all-encompassing haze.

Watching Artemis II earlier compelled me to try and find this: my one great shot from when my mom pulled me out of school to go to an overpass by NASA Ames/Moffett Field to watch Endeavor fly by, atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, on its way to its final home in L.A. Unforgettable.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

Astronaut Victor Glover, pilot of the #ArtemisII, and his family. They must be so friggin proud.. www.nasa.gov/learning-res...

I think that if Chaka can be every woman, everybody an be kung fu fighting

Just for fun: if a new planet capable of hosting human life was discovered(and we could get there) should the right wing people go and we keep earth, or should we get the new planet 🤔

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

"The economy is bad" means that there is not enough good jobs, good pay, social services to prop the vast majority in case they fall. GoFundMe isn't health insurance. The vast majority have no savings. Ppl with good sentiment can have 1 medical emergency & then have VERY bad sentiment. Overnight.

had to take a quick moment to highlight the audacity of caucasity on display during the birthright citizenship Supreme Court oral argument today ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

NEWS: You may have seen a lot of reporting in recent weeks about the American Medical Association allegedly pulling back from its support for gender-affirming care for trans kids. It has not. www.advocate.com/health/trans...

the jetsons lied to us

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Whelp. That's how you deal with autocrats. Not give an inch. 🤷

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.

Since you're also mentioning a distorted view of the economy as a main driver, i'm gonna say IMHO the main econ issues were 1. the utter disconnect between Democratic candidates (insisting that everything was wonderful and there should be *no* paycheck insecurity..the "Will Stancil" issue) and...

I've followed too many cases w/DOJ arguing the most HORRIFIC things in the deportation hearings (including "POTUS can literally do whatev he ffkin' wants, and they can't sue"! they literally argued that!) to eventual SUCCESS!! which is why i'm so skeptical of the whole conservative machine here.

Listening to the oral argument in the birthright citizenship case, and the government is cooked. Barrett is a no. Gorsuch is a no. Only real question is whether it's 7-2 or 8-1

Is anybody going to bring up the FACT that Barron Trump is an Anchor Baby. His Mother was NOT a United States Citizen at the time of his birth. Asking for the world…

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

Listening in to the birthright citizenship oral arguments. I won't be fully live-posting through them, but will highlight some comments. I'll have a quick analysis up after the arguments, later this afternoon.

this reminds me of exactly why I transferred servers on Mastodon from the infamous .art instance to a larger one. It was a horrible hall-monitor-on-steroids whose members and management went *looking* to harass the LGBT allied. If you're constantly yelling at allies and not nazis you're losing.

dudes rock

This is the way.

Big ole stack of Jewish anti-Zionist zines to distribute at tomorrow's Passover seder. If you want your own, I will ship them to you for $1 each (to cover shipping), or you can download it for free. payhip.com/akivaleewrites

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u #transdayofvisibility #tdov

There are fringe nuts in every political movement who may not represent the broader movement. But this is not that — it's the head of the Republican party signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship and a largely Republican-appointed Supreme Court reviewing it. This is the GOP's heart.

ohhhhh no we hound the fuck outta her for this
