pineapple is an unacceptable fruit. It doesn't want to be eaten, and we shouldn't force it. Bananas want to be unwrapped and eaten. Pineapples hate you, and I'm not eating an angry fruit

WHY WOULD SHE BE DOING A TOWN HALL IN OHIO ABOUT WINNING THE MAJORITY SHE GOT FEWER VOTES THAN KAMALA HARRIS WHAT THE FUCK SOMEONE ASK HER WHY SHE THINKS SHE'S AN EXPERT ON VOTE GETTING!!!

The Trump administration on Thursday proposed weakening rules for the disposal of ash produced by burning coal that can contain hazardous heavy metals and contaminate groundwater. https://to.pbs.org/4tuWZc0

Alex Jones reacts to Trump attacking him, saying Trump is possessed by demonic forces and Melania contradicted him on Epstein with her surprise press statement: “It looks to me like she’s breaking with Trump because she knows the ship is sinking. He’s acting like he’s guilty.”

Donald Trump calls out right-wing podcasters Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones for criticizing him: “[…] they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else kn... #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This November will be quite interesting.

Melania: “I never had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”

For my last stop, a little after 1 AM, I met with the DEP Leak Detection team. They listen to the city’s pipes, block by block, to catch leaks before they become major breaks.

Around 12:45 AM I met the DOT paving crew in Forest Hills, where they were laying asphalt at night so fewer New Yorkers have to commute around workzones.

Wtf????

Tired: Holy war with Muslims Wired: Holy war against the Vatican

it’s really striking how much we are now living in a normalized situation in which there’s the actual world and then there’s the narrative of the world that exists to allow the markets to keep functioning and these are not the same things even a little.

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

🔥 HASAN: “There’s a battle brewing — against not only the corrupt, fascist forces of the Republican Party… but also against do-nothing Dems that fundraise from corporate donors and put YOUR interests 2nd… Remember: every dollar spent on a bomb is stolen from YOU.”

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Random thought -- whatever happened to that hospital ship Trump supposedly sent to Greenland?

you guys are clowns.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

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.

Happy fuckin Easter, you crazy bastards.

I think, too, that right now concentrating on the threat of war crimes is a distraction. The whole war is a crime. What, if he doesn’t bomb a bridge we’re cool with it? I love rule of law, but not as a means of looking away from awful facts with which we must contend.

Still makes me smile.

We call this "ISIS-posting"

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

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

This administration is intent on destroying everything good about government, everything which serves the people. It's a betrayal.

Has Iranian state TV paid a $787 million settlement for spreading lies about an election?

This asshole made a huge show of dodging the draft when his country called him to serve during the Vietnam War

President Trump may even be braver than that downed flight crew.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

It's the one month anniversary of Trump promising FREE FLOW through Hormuz, y'all. How's that working out for the world?

🔥 🔥 Country Singer @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social: “Let me translate for you — fuck your kids. Fuck your health care. We can’t pay for it because we’re too busy making YOU pay for meaningless wars in the Middle East so we can cut taxes for the rich.”

Stephen Marche is a scab.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

LMFAO this whole regime just sucks ass, watching them crash and burn to his whims is just absolutely wild to witness. These are the absolute dumbest people to see how he's treated others and still go with him.

here's a democratic senator reinforcing the false frame that pam bondi had "integrity" before becoming AG. here's what i wrote about bondi's past when trump first nominated her. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

Trump called for a primetime address to the nation on the Iran War and then just repeated all the same tired shit he says every day. But the networks all carried it live so he accomplished that I guess.

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

A Russian tanker docked Tuesday at the Cuban port of Matanzas laden with 730,000 barrels of oil, marking the first time in three months that an oil tanker reached the island. https://to.pbs.org/4lZwR6C

it's come to this ... on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]
