This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

Terrible take. Literally every FIFA Peace Prize winner has done this.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

This is NOT what America is about. America is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

this is all happening because 80,000 people in the 6 states where votes actually count googled "joe bidon still presdinant?" on election day morning

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

with all of the stories about the rise of solar energy we’ve seen in the last few months it kind of feels like America is doing regime change in order to secure the rights to billions of dollars in blockbuster gift cards

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

wild to see every news outlet use the term "capture" to describe what happened. we're not at war with venezuela! this is *objectively* an illegal kidnapping of a sovereign country's leader

The US should be stripped of hosting the World Cup and Olympics. We should be banned from international sport like they did to Russia.

America is a pariah nation and we should be treated as such.

launching a petrowar while oil is in the beginning of an unstoppable decline in importance

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Would like to reiterate that I am a single-issue voter in the midterms, and that issue is: Do you think that the key figures in the White House should go to prison, and what is your plan to charge them?

Fucking what??

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

Impeachment proceedings are mandatory. You either believe the presidency is governed by rules or you don’t.

not a fan of living in a pariah nation tbh

Do the journalists who think Grok "apologized" also think that when you get married to an NPC in Skyrim, you're married in real life? Do they check "married" on government forms after completing that side quest?

WOW!!!!!!!

What’s more absurd than Israel blocking aid organizations from Gaza is the fact that it’s accepted that Israel should have the power to decide how the people of Palestine live. Every story is framed as if it’s normal and natural for them to rule over another people like that.

Elon Musk's accomplishments over the last year include starving thousands of people to death (and laughing about it) and creating Hitler AI that undresses children (and laughing about it). Is it time to do something about billionaires yet?

sequel opportunity

Mark your calendars. Communism is real derby on May 10th. Mamdani and Rydström will go Marx for Marx at halftime.

went back and grabbed the full video of her intro. absolutely incredible 🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Fernando Mendoza talks like ChatGPT

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

Holy mackerel!

Former Nadeshiko Japan midfielder Marumi Yamazaki, who retired in 2023 after a career spent mostly in the Nadeshiko League with Urawa, Niigata, Nagano and Chiba (along with a short WEL stint at Omiya) has come out as a trans man and announced his marriage. h/t @rbyryo.bsky.social

We should randomly make one bowl game trophy cake every year and tell no one until they go to grab it

"Guy in charge of the stage at the Sugar Bowl becoming increasingly frustrated" is a Tim Robinson character.

Mercifully, the game is actually over

This is a basketball type ending

MAKE THEM WHEEL THE TROPHY BACK OFF

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team on October 10, 2017

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok. Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

i am rooting as much as is appropriate for mamdani to be an effective mayor because if he manages it, he will be an important model and national leader for american progressives — one part fiorello la guardia, one part robert la folette

Pete Golding looks like the #1 ranked Halo player in the world.

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.

I wish instead of “these aren’t political issues so it’s ok not to be friends with someone over them,” we’d instead say “it’s totally fine not to be friends with someone over politics.” The stuff on the right is values-based and should obviously be protected, but that only happens through politics.

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves
