Since Americans are learning what is real and what is patriotic bullshit, a thought: People saying "we are not and never were a democracy" are right and wrong. We indeed are not, but we were. What changed? Hiroshima. Nukes changed everything. The Cold War changed everything. 1/6

What are we fighting for, and more importantly, what is it possible to save? Can we build a broad people's coalition, or is our current populist puppet just the transition to military dictatorship? I think we need to be much less naive about post WWII realities before we can make real plans. 6/6

Adoption is built on permanence. The entire moral architecture of it rests on finality. When a veteran adopts an orphan from abroad, the promise isn’t conditional. It isn’t “American unless politics change.” It’s not “American until paperwork is reinterpreted.” It’s supposed to be forever.

US Hockey Team beats Canada for Olympic Gold in an amazing game. Both teams played some of the best hockey ever seen. Congratulations to both teams!

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

Some comments on my videos make me laugh so hard. In one where I candidly talk about my mental health etc, some dolt says they are unfollowing because I cannot talk about that, because I run a gaming channel 😂

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million. Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country. 1/2

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

She is awesome to read

We voted! Texans please go vote! 🗳️

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

Pay attention, you glorious NYC bastards! Rando thought: this guy is smooth. I wonder if all the video cuts and stuff make it seem less perilous. In the Old Days he’d be standing at a podium with a buncha chonki City First Responder officials behind him.🤔

SCOOP: Sen. Adam Schiff will join the boycott of Trump’s State of the Union and instead speak at the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

it’s not entirely clear what a hoobastank is even to this day

Here’s an ugly truth. When a President sends men and women to war, they have decided to spend American lives to buy things; to buy objectives, outcomes, results. This president will be willing to trade the currency of human life…for something as worthless as his ego. We will see that soon.

The virus that once caused a rash becomes something that steals memory, speech, movement. It turns time itself into a weapon. Parents who once sat up through a fever now sit through something far worse: watching their grown child disappear. That is the part statistics never capture.

Trump can’t sit like that.

The new leader of the free world. American cable news saying that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at Davos is one of the greatest speeches of the 21st century. ====================

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.

Trump just got a "Go fuck yourself!" from another pro sports team. Thank you Seattle! =============

"More than 3,000 people attended the Mass and walked in the procession. "Families affected by immigration enforcement were among the first to receive ashes from Cupich, in a highly symbolic reversal of the marking and tracking many say defines their daily lives." www.ncronline.org/news/god-doe...

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I’ve been watching YouTube videos on WWII military history and have fallen into a sinkhole of titles like “Why the Nazis Feared the American Cigarette Lighter.” (I think they’re running out of US stuff the Nazis feared.)

I can’t even

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped.

He's not taking it well you guys

This dude @rokhanna.bsky.social is out here making sense

More snow this weekend

She’s making it happen, y’all. @jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would. “55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥

Yes, yes, 10,000X yes.

It is sheer lunacy to oppose reigning in Trump, as we stand on the brink of another 20-year conflict in the Middle East. Congress alone can declare war, and waging wars of aggression is banned under international law. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Newsom: He’s a weak president — and that weakness is now on display globally. The only card he had left was these tariffs. His entire economic policy has been mass deportations — and that’s beginning to unravel. His broader economic policies have obviously been aided and embedded in these tariffs
