Incredible that the DNC won’t release this autopsy because apparently they don’t like the findings. They’d rather keep losing than admit their support for genocide cost them.

Noem auditioning her inevitable legal defense

Then maybe local law enforcement needs to start doing their fucking job and actually enforce the fucking laws and arrest these masked goons that are murdering and terrorizing people.

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Trump Logic: Denmark is such a poor, weak country, it can afford to give its citizens free healthcare and eduction America is so wealthy and powerful, its citizens have to go bankrupt if they get sick or want their children to go to college.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

ICE agents pointed their weapons at a Minnesota police officer who’s an American citizen. She tried to film the encounter and they knocked her phone out of her hand. Video: @atrupar.com

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

This needs to be an image in future text books about this period.

Khanna seems to be only person in Congress who’s even trying to do a goddamn thing.

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

Donald Trump wasn’t lying when he said he could get away with shooting someone in the street in broad daylight. He just forgot to specify if it would be murder for hire.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

The Democratic Party refuses to confront authoritarianism effectively because it shares the same class interests as the Republicans.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

I’m am beyond upset and disappointed that no American media outlets are talking about how many Venezuelans may have been murdered by US forces during our kidnapping of Maduro.

So the year has started with the criminal US government starting another illegal war while keeping support of well known war criminals and genocide. Or we, the people, remove psychopaths from power one way or another or the world is f*ked.

been kind of a funny thing seeing some reaction to this being "what's he talking about, republicans don't know how to speak with civility and decorum" just - zoop - right over the head

Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

My fiancé’s beautiful boy Winston underwent a biopsy this morning for suspected cancer. It’s a financial hit that we’re not easily able to cope with currently. Any assistance that could help cover the cost of the biopsy would be very deeply appreciated.

wow that was stupid but i guess at least he didn’t declare war with venezuela

👍

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The painting "A Cold Start" is a work by British artist David Noble. The scene depicts a Yorkshire coal mine in the 1960s. #art #painting #artist #BlueSkyArt

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

When I look at the Steam Machine, all I see is Deep Thought from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

i think a lot these days about how in battlestar galactica, they do not network their drives, and they use analog comms so that cylons cannot hack and surveil them

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Trivia on 'trivia' In ancient Rome, a trivium was an intersection of three roads (tri, "three" + vium, road). According to the Romans, when people met at a trivium, they would discuss trivialis ("inconsequential things") - which eventually helped give trivia its modern meaning.

Flobots’ “Fight With Tools” album is unironically a timeless masterpiece.

Nintendo is really funny because they regularly do evil corpo shit but get a pass from their fans because their Gameboy comforted them when their parents were fighting.

I really don’t understand anyone who’s against this. It was originally called the Department of War. It was rebranded as the Department of Defense for marketing purposes because it’s easier to have exorbitant defense spending instead of exorbitant war spending. Anti-war leftists should like this…

no notes, nailed it

Stop talking about Newsom and start talking about the Great Khan of the Midwest

Below: Moses and the Brazen Serpent. Above: Christ's Transfiguration. Packing it all in there in 1683 with Cristobal de Villalpando, whose day is today.

If only all reporters had that courage…

ANCHORAGE…

I could sing, woke up to a 58 degree cloudy morning after 4 days of 80s and 90s baking me alive in my apartment. Bring on the chill and drizzle!
