Tim Walz: "I've got an announcement to them on our LGBT community, especially our trans community: stay the hell out of Minnesota for the folks who want to hassle those people. These are our neighbors."

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

in the best-case scenario, we will spend the rest of our lives trying to explain - and make amends for - all of this.

For my American followers, whenever you read a British person talking about Wes Streeting, replace that name with "JD Vance cosplaying as Pete Buttigieg" and you will have an excellent idea.

As Administration officials seem to be struggling with this, let us say it again: it is illegal to use the U.S. military to invade a foreign country without the authorization of Congress and is a violation of international law. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

When they don't represent more than 30% of the voting population, they lose power. ( Obvs.) When standards don't include maximally opposing genocide, deafness to protest, BREXIT red lines, and focus on refugees; seems the parties time in power is a single term.

Looks like Americans are going to take the long way to reach this point.

Five years ago.

"The Cuban government says 32 of its nationals were killed during the US operation to seize Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. It described the dead as members of its armed forces and intelligence agencies were killed "in combat actions", declaring two days of national mourning."

day 2 of posting margot photos from the archives until morale improves

1986 has some banger 40ths.. manhunter, blue velvet, highlander! labyrinth! and that's before you even get to stand by me, little shop, big trouble in little china, top gun, aliens, the fly, or three amigos, etc. etc. I am even in 2 movies in 1986 which are top of my resume

Not jumping to any conclusions... but Machado's entire vibe reminds me of Tom Smykowski from the film "Office Space" (1999).

IS THIS YOUR LAUREATE?

Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

6 January 1889 | Dutch Jew Salomon Pachter was born in Amsterdam. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 24 January 1943 in a transport of 516 Jews deported from #Westerbork. Murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

Trump said today: "MAGA is me. MAGA loves everything I do, and I love everything I do, too." If your toddler spoke to you like this, you'd be concerned. Most powerful man in the world, ladies and gents. Still hard to believe, I know.

urgh

An official NYT response means this is clearly a sore spot for them and people should keep hitting the target

trans people have also been speaking out about this! I'm glad we are finally seeing experts say what we all have understood to be true for quite a while now.

I mean it’s the perfect contrast: decorated combat vet and astronaut vs lawless fascists. Maybe the “click here to donate” team can sit this one out.

Guardian reports how misgendering can affect mental health when the victim is cis. Doesn't seem so bothered when it happens to trans people. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Who's doing the contesting and how much billionaire money are they funded with? The NYTs never mentions this. This is not a organic genuine movement.

This is why the reactionary centrists rely so heavily on these "systematic reviews" to fool gullible liberals into believing that the bigotry is somehow backed by science when it isn't. They ignore or attack the reports that don't align with their ideological beliefs.

Has a single american or european politician said a word

Prominent MAGA figures are making it 100% explicit that MAGA is a neo-imperialist movement that's all about pillage and plunder justified by assumed racial superiority:

its not like elon musk has billions in govt contracts while his site is also producing csam oh wait

Dale Gribble: What happens to all those Data Centers if AI is a dud? *Sips beer* Those buildings are made to be secure right? *puffs on cigarette.* Like a prison.

Enjoying this deep dive into Heather Cox Richardson, the good the bad and the Nate Silver. #Palestine #Journalism

Is Bari Weiss gonna do a town hall with them?

I don't even think they need to be called "super human." They only need a certain amount of AI influence too. They will probably outsource the killings to people for cheap. 1. AI delivery vehicles already exist. 2. Drones with weapons already exist. 3. Police already use drones.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Someone edited the Wikipedia page on the poverty rates of states and territories belong in the United States and they put Venezuela on the list. 😂 😂 😭 😭

i’ve still seen people not take trump seriously on greenland but i’ve never been more certain he really does want to colonize it

I know this is extremely tangential to the LIST OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT USE SUBSTACK But one of them is that even when you use your own domain with them, when someone shares a link from the Substack app, it points to Substack instead of your name/brand They don’t respect you, the user!!

The United States of America is not the good guy. We are terrorists with better weapons.

“They have no shame, do they? They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation.”

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Notre Dame College Republicans just went full mask off nazi they tweeted and then deleted this in response to the evil and vile attack on Venezuela "HAIL TRUMP. HAIL OUR TROOPS. HAIL VICTORY."

Imagine being this hypocritical and morally weak.

Hitler alleged all sorts of things against the government and leadership of Czechoslovakia. I would advise the "Maduro's no angel" crowd to just stop. Whatever his personal sins and the government's failings, it just isn't the point.

I really don’t like this framing that we shouldn’t care about Venezuela and should stay laser focused on the Epstein Files. Like, you do not need to pit South American lives against survivors of horrific sexual abuse. You just don’t. Lots of us have the capacity to care about all of it.

Impeach, convict, remove.

Everything is awful, but this morning I saw a teen trans girl goofing around with two cis girls of the same age in the Wawa. Just being silly in the candy aisle before they bought their sodas. Like any other Teen Girl Squad. So, it's not all bad.

if you leak to me i certainly won’t pull this shit

각종 스포츠 행사 등에서 러시아 출전 금지시켰던 “서방” 세계가 미국에서 열릴 월드컵은 잘 즐기겠지?
