The war currently raging is between a fanatical religious dictatorial autocracy whose militaristic posture, nuclear ambitions and zeal for apocalyptic messaging threaten to destabilize the entire global order, and Iran.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

They're not just lying to us, they're lying to Trump too. This is what happens when your power base is a cult of personality and nobody wants to deliver bad news. You get Hitler in his bunker type shit

As I'll say till I'm blue in the face, if the next Dem President doesn't roll into office with a list of a couple dozen GOFOs whose resignations they are demanding at 1201 EST on 20 Jan 29, they might as well let pete stick around another 4 years

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

You probably know Pete Hegseth for being a wildly incompetent alcoholic rapist. But, did you know he's also incredibly corrupt?

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

really striking how race science freaks seem to spend their every moment crowing about how superior they are versus actually doing anything socially useful that would demonstrate it.

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

Law professors continue to embarrass themselves in the pursuit of power and influence for want of expertise. Behold, the disease has now spread to George Mason.

The only acceptable answer from 2028 presidential candidates is "yes, I'll demolish it."

Me whenever someone asks how I am right now

🛰️✈️ So, using Russian satellite data, Iran destroyed American E-3G Sentry aircraft… Trump administration is putting pressure on Ukraine, lifting sanctions on Russia, and representatives of the Russian Duma are visiting the US. What can you call this? 🤔

This guy sounds smart. Laid out Iran's moves with incredible foresight. Too bad he no longer works as the National Security Council’s director for Iran b/c some online nutjob does not like him and that is enough to get experts shitcanned from government these days. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Countries banning all teenagers from social media because "their brains aren't developed enough to handle it", meanwhile nobody's talking about the percentage of retirement-aged adults who have irreversibly cooked their fucking brains on Facebook since 2020.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

Truly extraordinary that a country famed for a constitution of checks and balances turned out to be so exposed to a leadership personality cult.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

ABC reports that Mike Flynn’s reward for committing crimes for Trump will be $1.2M. abcnews.com/US/doj-pay-t...

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

O'HARE (Chicago): "There are dozens of ICE agents at TSA checkpoint, almost all of them doing the jobs of the TSA agents. They are the ones checking IDs and passports and verifying flight info, while TSA agents stand there and do nothing."

pretty much everything trump/hegseth assert is a lie, from murdering fishermen & others to launching war. this one is just as egregious as the others.

It's really quite a thing how Iran is portraying itself as the party that is coordinating with the international system and demonstrating how the United States and Israel are the ones flouting the law. We've really lost the high ground in this conflict. www.ft.com/content/71c3...

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Read about what a cesspool DOJ has become:

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

This would be incredibly easy to foresee for everyone who managed to realize what fuel is and that renewable technologies do not require fuel to operate but y'know thinking isn't popular these days.

Gas prices are crazy. You should invest in a solar powered lawn mower.

Great 🧵

This is unforgivable: Afghan who fought with US special forces — and was legally evacuated to the U.S. — dies in ICE custody www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

RESULT: Julia Stratton has won the Democratic primary for Senate in Illinois, NBC News calls. Stratton defeats Raja Krishnamoorthi, who was the most centrist candidate in the race & who dominated spending for a long time, and Robin Kelly. She'll be heavily favored in November to join the Senate.

All of this incredibly obvious and infuriating welfare fraud happened under the first Trump administration and I don't recall them ever threatening to block funding to the state of Mississippi as a result.

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

This is the pentagon press corp now: hand picked propagandists

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

The boon for Russian oil revenues — essential to its war effort — came after The Washington Post, CNN and The New York Times reported that Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American military aircraft and naval vessels via sophisticated satellite imagery.

Can this be a solution?

This is both remarkable and totally unsurprising. Here’s a person Trump hired to advise him on war and peace (though realistically probably just war) who has absolutely no idea what the Constitution says on the topic. Hard to capture Idiocracy more perfectly than this clip. Heaven help us.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

DOGE reminder from a year ago.

Czechia's Ondřej Satoria, who is a full-time electrician, leaves his final career game to a standing ovation after throwing 4.2 shutout innings against Japan!

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Amazing work from @marisakabas.bsky.social. Follow her and subscribe to her her blog if you haven't.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
