In the distance 🐇🐉

did mushrooms with Theseus and he's just been staring at his ship for like two hours

Religious left, still a thing, etc.

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit. Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry. They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand. They chose cruelty and pain.

Real heads remember the movie that had Frances McDormand in it as Ms. Clavel

Members of the community yell towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

i honestly dont think he wanted this outcome

We've already had Bibi claiming to have recognised the Armenian Genocide back in August when in reality he has repeatedly blocked efforts to have Knesset and/or cabinet resolutions recognising it.

Competing political patronage networks in the armed forces is real failed state hours. But seeing how the alternative is a Trumpist officer corps, we have to make sure everyone who is purged comes back with promotions and raises.

An army where “libs,” broadly defined as anyone from Bill Kristol to Kropotkin get purged every four to twelve years and fascists get promoted is going to end up a fascist army.

It's genuinely wild how this government is operating on the Nicholas II Principle: so utterly convinced of their divine infallibility that they're making the wrong choice at just about every juncture, slouching towards the cool zone

good lord

this is why ending the filibuster is good

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this. To ICE: "You can repent"

Anyways, TL;DR on why railguns are bad and better technology will not make them viable: - All that extra kinetic energy gets wasted on overpen, so the only advantage over normal guns is range - Terrible barrel lifetimes make it expensive - Missiles are just better anyways

man this could have been The End

Please, Mister Trump, start sending cattle ranches to jail for making money while giving Argentina infinity dollars. I beg you. It’s the only way to make America great again.

it will be peak 2025 if people take a quote that's explicitly about supporting trans people and turn it into a meme for the left devoid of all context

Hens coming home to roost

seeing a generational potlatch of anti-latino racism in the beltway after seeing itself humiliated in the middle east and needing to turn its security analysis elsewhere for self justification

If you're trans and you found family here, I need you to know Nori did so much to make that possible. She did so much for all of us. The last message I have from her, she wanted to talk. I responded too late. I will not forget Nori—I need all of you to grow old and remember all of us who died young.

You have to transition, you have to grow old. You have to die remembering all of us.

I mean the question here is whether the Venezuela operation looks like Operation Just Cause, or if the United States gets tied down into a long-standing conflict after the implosion of Maduro's government. As a wise man once said, there are unknown unknowns

it's like the blob has basically forgotten the past two decades of american military history along with COIN

the problem with this framing, each and every time, is that you are presuming a form of restraint and control that is largely absent from the entire history of American foreign intervention. In the few instances where it did occur, e.g. Libya, you still then must ignore its immediate consequences.

Get ready for another round of mutual hypocrisy as Turkey pretends to be unaware of any other genocides and Israel pretends to care about Armenians while driving them out of Jerusalem and arming Aliyev to the teeth.

For anyone looking to dig into this history, Rachel Walker wrote great book (award-winning, in fact!) on physiognomy, phrenology, and race in America. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

how we keep discussing Venezuela without taking this into consideration drives me insane

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

And, there we go: The formal judgment of acquittal. "Sandwich guy" case is done.

I wish this could be blasted on every single tv and radio station and blared in the streets of every city.

did no one in the garland DOJ look through the epstein files?

I realize the fight’s a long way from over but taking Orange County nonetheless has a real “storming the Reichstag” vibe to it on a symbolic level.

Jess is correct.

Idk why I didn’t think of this earlier, and snaps to everyone who clocked it immediately: This reminds me very much of what they do in memory care. There’s a period of time w (most) dementia where folks will be able to navigate their space reliably as long as they have extra visual cues.

CUCK SCHUMER RETIRE YOU OLD BITCH!

incredible that "we cannot deliver cities that are free of pogroms of ethnic terror by secret policy" is actual policy in practice

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

If Trump and Orban were interested in understanding war, they’d know sustained offense is harder than defense, and that rewarding Russia’s aggression likely won’t bring peace, it’d encourage more aggression. But they’re interested in seeing Putin succeed and validating their own culture war views.

but this’s also how i would react to a dr. oz speech.

President Trump said the US is considering an exemption for Hungary from sanctions to allow continued purchases of Russian energy.

They should reedit Ace Ventura so instead of Ace puking/sticking a plunger in his own face/weeping in the shower for all transphobic reasons, it's because he saw this post

Lesbians who've played/watched NieR: Automata can all agree: we love it when that little shit 9S suffers.

Hmmmm

Trump greets Orban at the White House, points at him, and says "great leader"

there should be a word in English for when somebody tells a story that they think valorizes them but they're the obvious villain

hanging a handwritten sign on the Statue of Liberty that says “no fatties”
