enemies to lovers is getting out of hand

I remarked to a coworker today that multiple times a week I see video of yet another Russian oil refinery on fire. At what point does the inability to refine crude completely wreck their ability to prosecute the war with Ukraine?

When It Happens, if any Democratic politician utters a single word for him other than pure contempt and scorn, I will be waging a holy war against that person for the rest of my natural life

It's actually good and normal to feel awful and shocked about this. Now extend those bad feelings to victims of police violence everywhere.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Remember when police murdered Philando Castile a four year old was in the car. Remember children watched George Floyd be suffocated. Remember 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones murdered by police in her sleep. Sonya Massey’s son and daughter. This is the same cookbook, the same evil. I hope folks see.

every single one of these is an impeachable offense

"At least 1,201 people [in the US] were killed by police in 2025. ... 67% of killings by police in 2025 — 760 deaths — were traffic stops, police responses to mental health crises, or situations where the person was not reportedly threatening anyone with a gun."

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

we effectively cured AIDS and have a pancreatic cancer vaccine that just passed phase 1 trials

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

There was a period of time when NBC would put out these miniseries based on public domain epics with the most stacked cast you’ve ever seen and then schools would show them to 7th graders for the next 20 years and it was kinda paradise

i'm not worried about a potential third trump term, what i worry about are the extremely challenging problems the next dem administration will inherit from trump, and part of winning the public over is going to be telling them who to blame and doing something about it

so, the thing is, people are going to have to go to prison for all of this. not *just* because they deserve to, but because the cleanup for the next democratic party administration is going to be substantial and all-consuming, and they are going to need people to hang it on.

Oh he's scared of the future lol

"Lindsey Graham made a horror of his life. Continually, day by day, on purpose, for decades. He built a tower of monstrosity right up to the sky and then died. Do him the honor of acknowledging his life's work. You can't be trusted to burn down what you're pretending not to see."

No, this seems fine www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...

is it because you're a bunch of fucking war criminals who love other war criminals and have criminal relationships with each other

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

Goddammit, this was definitely not the death I was expecting to hear about this morning www.bbc.com/news/article...

It is literally my job to speak ill of the dead May his life be a lesson

Mitch McConnell will always remember the morgue he was in when he heard Lindsey Graham died

Assistant pig-keeper

I’m mostly struck that as far as anyone knows, yesterday Graham was in good health and this morning he’s gone. And now the Intertubes are gloating and condemning and mocking. We are all Scrooge, and today is Christmas morning. It’s not too late. Start working on your obituary now.

i stand corrected

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

At least Lindsey Graham stayed in the closet his entire life, sold out any principles he claimed to have for a sliver of power, and lived just long enough to see the US lose a war with Iran that he advocated for decades.

it rocks that Lindsey Graham lived to see the US lose a war with Iran and then immediately died lmao

We all have to post as hard as possible about Lindsey Graham's death so we can see who wins by getting cited in an article in the Atlantic about how Bluesky is destroying the fabric of American politics next week.

I absolutely expect and want my phone to blow up when It Happens

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

if Lindsey Graham tweets that he just had a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, you know what, I’d believe him

They sound like absolute mensches. RIP.

“Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention. Let it be known for all time that he knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country.” - Steve Schmidt

As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

Bluesky during England-Argentina

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.
