@mjfree.bsky.social WTF??? Drunk Hegseth just called for the USA to abandon the Geneva Conventions — saying our troops should ignore “stupid rules of engagement.” FYI: Those “rules” were created after WWII to stop WAR CRIMES. Hegseth is defending atrocities on live TV.

‘Could have been an email’: defense officials feared the security risk of sticking almost all of America’s top officers in the same room. And dismissed Hegseth’s effort to bolster the military’s aggressive image through grooming standards and ending diversity programs. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

It really does feel ominous, like, things are bad and so many of us are bracing ourselves for them to get much, much worse very quickly. Please take care of yourselves in this friends—stay connected to others, the earth, your joy, and all the other things that sustain us.

This is not going anywhere good. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

Operation Petty Coat against that evil country Portland,Oregon : Admiral chump is gonna sail the aircraft carrier known as USS Sinkemphast via the Specific Ocean. Meanwhile, General Hogsbreath will invade from the north via that evil WA state. (More on that one later). He'll blow up bridges 1/

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

If Congress doesn’t act to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, KFF’s latest analysis finds that premium payments would more than double on average in 2026. See the data: on.kff.org/3WfWxjj

IF IN NEED JUST CALL ! DON'T WAIT ! DON'T HESITATE ! CALL WHEN YOU NEED TOO !

I just learned some of my work is being translated into Polish and that is pretty cool.

Huge and important decision. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Even Emperor Palpatine didn't make Darth Vader & all the generals & admirals in the Empire meet at the Death Star on a random Tuesday at 0900 for a pep rally.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

So I grew up in a military town and the thing that these clowns don't have the government experience to understand is that--military OFFICERS are very much on the moderate/liberal spectrum. To get anywhere above captain, you need the equivalent of a Master's degree. This is an audience of PHDs.

#tdih 1919 #RedSummer Black sharecroppers met in Elaine, Arkansas to organize for fair pay for cotton. More than 100 of them were massacred by a white mob. Twelve Black men were sentenced to death for "riots." #Terrorism #TeachOutsideTextbook 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/el...

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Minnesota Alliance for Retired Americans Educational Fund and a recently naturalized citizen and voter, my law firm has moved to intervene against a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to the state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/minnes...

The level of idiocy right now is incomprehensible

I mean, hasn't the Trump administration said they are close to a deal with Harvard for months now?

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

REMINDER: We all NEED downtime to rest & recover. Exhausting ourselves will NOT help. Please make sure to do one thing you absolutely LOVE (off Social Media) & remember to take care of YOU. You are precious & important. (Yes, I'm talking to myself too.) NEVER GIVE UP & LET'S TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER!

Hoping familiarity and contempt are at least using a condom.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

I am truly honored to receive the 2025 National Association for Media Literacy Education Research Award. I am grateful for the support of my colleagues – both past & present – and remain inspired by the young people & communities who have allowed me to think and learn alongside them. Whoo Hoo!

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

I dunno man maybe The News should have a policy of not airing everything dipshits say.

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Where have we seen this before?

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

The Pedofile Shutdown begins NOW! Let’s air it all out Dems! NO DEAL WITHOUT UNREDACTED TRUMP/EP$TEIN FILES

“Misleading” is an odd way to spell “lying.”

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

She's been gone for about six weeks and every so often it hits me that I'll never see my baby dog again. My heart hurts.

Can we all just shout about how despicable it is to scapegoat migrants for everything? Can we just stop being too polite or shy about it? Can we condemn it at work, with friends, family, on SM, everywhere? Can we just not keep calm & carry on until it’s too late? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
