Very on-brand for these fascists to think an AI pic showing one of their own aiming a gun at the back of the head of another DHS officer was cool.

Feeling alarmed isn’t hysteria, it’s civic literacy. Every democracy that slid into authoritarianism reached this stage: when partisan leaders in SCOTUS, Congress, and the Cabinet stop acting as checks and start acting as shields for the regime. We’re there.

We can remember in the olden days when Jake Tapper (of all people) refused to have Kellyanne Conway on his show again after wading through her lies.

"I saw the video and what if a bird flew by and one of the shipwrecked used a paper clip and squid ink to write a message to attach to the bird's leg to get a message to Suriname so they could continue their mission?" - Tom Cotton probably

Yes. Not promising to be able to stomach the whole thing, but someone can.

💯

Himes: "As many times as Tom Cotton may say it doesn't matter what they were doing, it matters essentially what they were doing ... these guys were barely alive much less engaging in hostilities"

This would seem cruel if he hadn’t consistently shown himself to be a lying, unfeeling hypocrite. Also “priggish” because that, too.

Freudian slip from Tom Cotton: "I think President Bush has every power under the Constitution to strike boats in international waters"

We have an epidemic of leading a government officials who do not read the newspaper

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies. Either way, never trust them again.

Presidenting is exhausting #SleepyDon

“And the president is asleep. Like literally.” Oh yeah, we all see it. 😴💤😴💤😴💤🍃

anyway my answer to every single person who wants armed conflict is no you don’t sometimes it is the only option but it it sure worth exploring everything else before you get there because it is always, always bad

Best local election coverage on the internet. By far. Comprehensive and in the local weeds while also connecting the dots to the bigger picture.

This is a really cool fundraising idea by @boltsmag.org and @russ41.bsky.social! I love creative ideas like this. (Also go follow Bolts. I already was or I would have joined in the effort here).

I don't care if you think that AI can do some really nifty things. It's being rammed down our throats by obscenely wealthy men who are also, obviously, both dangerously right-wing and mentally unstable, and no rational society should be allowing that to happen. End of discussion.

Also, what happens to the drugs if they flip the boat over, don’t they at least get… Wet? What a morally and intellectually empty vessel he is.

I am Somali!,I am going to have to read up on my new culture,since I am Somali

So Van Epps will win, but by single digits. Yup, Americans are plenty mad… and that anger won’t dissipate, especially as you have Trump saying nonsense like affordability is a “Democrat con job.”

I am Somali!

Trump’s claim he can order strikes on foreign civilians is unconstitutional Nowhere in the Constitution is he given this power, it's a violation of multiple US laws, and there is no precedent in American history I laid it out on @newsnation.bsky.social w/ @chriscuomo.bsky.social👇

Putin fears Ukrainian democracy because it shows a different future is possible for the Russian people, too. A free, democratic Ukraine exposes the lie at the heart of his worldview

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Did not expect to post George Will ever, but here we are.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

When Trump calls female reporters “piggy,” “ugly” and “stupid,” it doesn't reflect badly on the women. It's just more evidence that the males of MAGA are manspreading their own insecurity. My weekly Stop the Presses newsletter. Read and subscribe for free.

Amazon workers worldwide are on strike. They want to know why Jeff Bezos, the 5th wealthiest person on earth at $251 billion, can’t provide them with decent wages or working conditions. It’s time for international solidarity. Let’s stand with striking workers. #LivingWagesForAll #TaxTheRich

I finally figured out what it takes to get Arkansas conservatives to protest; a shitty coaching hire.

The Trump administration wants access to state driver’s license data on millions of U.S. residents as it builds a powerful citizenship verification program amid its clampdown on voter fraud and illegal immigration. ✍️: @stateline.org

Release the MRI results

Dear press: Maybe when Trump insults a colleague ya, I don’t know, speak up? Thanks

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

No one wants to be the first. I guarantee that once someone breaks the seal and says something, others will feel more confident doing so moving forward. Courage is contagious

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

It's really remarkable the extent to which Arkansas Republicans have tried to end direct democracy in Arkansas. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
