As I understand the situation, 1.) Trump says they agreed to his terms 2.) Iran said he agreed to their different set of terms 3.) Both sides are shameless liars whose self-preservation instincts and hardons for violence are constantly battling one another so who knows?

sadly nyt completely cooked with this feature. also holy fucking shit

Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, the Israeli Air Force continues to carry out strikes in Iran. Iran, meanwhile, has fire several salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel since the ceasefire was reportedly supposed to take effect.-Times of Israel

$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

We are terrorizing an entire country. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

sorry if this seems harsh but I don't think the president should be allowed to post "a whole civilization will die tonight" and still be president

Also goes for NASA, where I've seen people saying not to worry Trump's massive cuts will be DOA in Congress. Likely, but last year NASA was closing buildings, disposing of equipment, moving or eliminating jobs before Congress ever acted. Fait accompli.

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.

Trump seems to have once again encountered the limits of the power of positive thinking. We saw a similar unraveling with COVID and the results of the 2020 election

BREAKING: Artemis II astronauts are more than 248,655 miles from Earth, breaking Apollo 13's record for the greatest distance humans have traveled from the planet.

The civilians we're bombing are begging us to keep bombing them.

I've gone blue in the face saying this but this is completely illegal and if it's not stopped now it will be a preview of 2027-28, when Trump will just keep the budget going by himself

Trump threatens to jail the journalist who first reported that a U.S. airman was missing if the journo doesn't hand over source information to the government.

When people were wondering if Trump would sue for peace or put boots on the ground they ignored the secret third thing (do war crimes)

there are enough real things to criticize Hasan Piker for without attributing opinions to him that he explicitly doesn’t hold lol

The GOP is a party that has grown so used to being unaccountable domestically that it never once stops to wonder “what if these standards were applied to us?”

all else being equal, the institution will cling to the comfortingly familiar thing (in this case bombing the Middle East) over the scary, unfamiliar thing (admitting it is fighting an illegal war under an illegitimate president in a post-constitutional order for no discernible reason)

excellent strategy Governor, photo unrelated

Progressives are going to look like adults by not coddling voters with this bullshit

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

The American regime is working overtime to validate the claims of the Iranian regime that the Iran protests were indeed incited and supported by malicious foreign actors. No freedom seeker in this region will be free from the "America/Israel agent" smears moving forward thanks to America and Israel.

So cool that when inevitably the next protest breaks out the Iranian government can now trot out numerous statements by Trump, Israel, and associated figures to associate the protesters are foreign agents aiming to destabilize the state and incite violence.

The NYT literally rewrote Trump saying “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell” as: “Mr. Trump issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz”

The New York Times sparing readers from the obscenity of the President of the United States.

wtf

I think people don’t want to face how deliberately the Biden administration flouted US law to supply arms to Israel, but they all knew

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it’s Saturday:

you thought Americans might not know about a political movement founded in misogyny? the way the NYT never fails to platform rebranding of the oldest forms of hatred is really something else

One thing I love is the percentage of “journalism” devoted to pretending this kind of gutter racism is some benign, rational other thing that only the white people midwestern diners and staffers at right wing think tanks can truly understand bsky.app/profile/pale...

The political calculations that result in cutting NASA funding the day after the Artemis II launch must be fascinating

Sorry, which side is supposed to be religious zealots here, someone remind me.

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Two genuinely positive trends in the Middle East in the last few years were the end of the Syrian Civil War and Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, and it looks like both of them have been pretty thoroughly scuttled.

Kinda seems like force works and we've set the country up to tolerate incredible loss of life. I'm sure we can shoot our way out of this one

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

I think Trump’s entire cabinet should go to prison

Finally, a viable use case for crypto - paying bribes to countries currently under sanctions

Acting AG Todd Blanche: It's not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein.

A deliberate, symbolic strike on civilian infrastructure with no case for military utility. As clear cut as LOAC violations come.

Fox News reports that Pam Bondi has already been fired

really gross that Aaron Sorkin cast this guy in The West Wing after he paid out a settlement to a teenager he sexually assaulted on the set of Little Big League

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

“The DOJ prosecuted 32,000 new immigration cases in the first six months of the administration…It has pursued fewer prosecutions of nearly every other type of crime — from drug offenses to corruption — than new administrations in their first six months dating back to 2009.”
