How much did it cost to deploy the B52s and put everyone in the region and around the world on high alert?

Don’t give him a second chance at another genocide.

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

This isn’t a lamentable side effect of these products. It’s the actual reason they exist.

There's been a large die off of seabirds happening along the California coast, seemingly due to starvation, & I just keep having to look at pictures of large numbers of dead birds of many different species on many different beaches and it is seriously bumming me the fuck out this morning.

ICE shot a man on the side of I-5 in California this morning. Before we even know if he's alive, ICE has a press release out explaining why he deserved it. There is no death penalty in this country for being accused of a crime. ICE is not judge, jury, or executioner. youtube.com/shorts/pfrVQ...

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Don't we know better by now than to take ICE agents' word for... well, anything? www.cnbc.com/2026/04/07/i...

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Maybe if historical dramas showed how disfigured people were from what are now vaccine preventable diseases we'd have fewer anti-vaxxers

A new report from the US Government Accountability Office reveals that 16 anti-choice fake clinics directly received at least $34 million in gov't funding between 2018 and 2024.

Pretty groundbreaking class action re:data center pollution in Oregon, even if Amazon is denying the allegations and saying it's settling to "avoid the burdens and expenses of litigation" (presumably also avoiding unflattering discovery).

Just got back from a quick Southern California trip — spotted this Alyssa Liu mural on Crenshaw Avenue in Gardena, California!

Spotted in Oakland, California.

LA TIMES: "He was willing to testify against the cartel — but ICE got to him first" Javier Hernandez was ready to testify about a Southern California meth trafficking operation. But six months before the trial, ICE deported him without notifying federal prosecutors.

A+ headline.

Why the fuck are we paying taxes right now? Seriously.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

Devastating is an understatement. This would ensure US social science would barely be a shell of itself for the foreseeable future, if ever back to its current status ever again.

Killer queen on a budget having to decide between dynamite vs a laser beam

The summer of 1946 was literally when the baby boom started.

Really hoping this is the last week of my life that I'll be up until 2 a.m. reading/writing about the relationship between Silicon Valley and the "Antichrist."

the rise of the incel and the rise of the strongman are two connected and mutually reinforcing responses to the evils of modernity. new post

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

Cognitive Surrender is my new favorite band name.

Every single one of these agencies does science that emergency managers rely on to be able to do their jobs.

Pretending that CVS is an immersive experience about extending carceral logics to toothpaste

Things make more sense when you remember being ruled by a gerontocracy means there is a very large percentage of people in power experiencing various stages of dementia and cognitive decline. No one is thinking clearly.

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

The good old lifelong Catholic vs adult convert meme strikes again cause it's so true.

Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem were always going to be the fallgals for the Trump regime because no matter how useful a woman is, fascists will always see her first and foremost as disposable.

With Bondi out, he's gonna have to start firing men soon. Tulsi? You in danger, girl.

ABOLISH ICE + BORTAC

The genesis of this investigation (w/@regret.bsky.social, @timmarchman.bsky.social , @couts.bsky.social, @hudsongiles.bsky.social & @samspengler.bsky.social) was the winged insignia worn by Greg Bovino & several camouflaged Border Patrol agents thruout At Large, Midway Blitz & Metro Surge - BORTAC

Not that I'd ever defend Noem, Bondi, or Gabbard, but it is striking that only the women in the administration are under fire and it's not because Hegseth, RFK, Bessent, Burgum, Lutnick, etc are paragons of anything except stupid malice.
