The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

The President, White House, and FCC's Brendan Carr are calling for action -- and implying a criminal investigation -- against CNN for... accurately reporting what Iran's state media shared as a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

I would settle for The Hague

So then we get Mike Johnson? Good. Remove him too.

The self and the cyberself in quiet introspection

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I’m not a laws of war expert but it’s my impression that just the threat to commit genocide is a war crime. Threatening to destroy a civilization is a war crime, whether or not you carry through. Not that the sort of people who support Trump care.

I’m at like 75% this and 25% wondering what Maggie and Jonathan are squirreling away for their fucking book

Right so this is also happening today

Damn even the Pope is like, "what can we do? Call our reps, I guess?"

"Stop paying attention to the things the President says" is just not a viable argument.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

By the way, I just want to remind you that until we are shown otherwise, this is effectively the Republican agenda.

I can’t believe that we’re on the brink of nuking Iran because a smart Black man in a tan suit once made fun of a reality tv host.

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

full guarantee Orban loses his ass now

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

Guys wait until you see this First Amendment pocket square I ordered, y’all aren’t gonna be able to fucken handle it

personally, I wish somebody would stop this guy somehow

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

Worth noting that the first part of the first sentence does not at all lead logically to its end. The fact that "A.i." is becoming more widespread does NOT mean educators must learn to "integrate it as a tool." Educators could in fact REJECT IT ENTIRELY.

And ten years ago if I told you who had which titles you’d have slapped me on the spot

In these uncertain times, you must go for the worst answer possible: an YouTube

Had a great time with Mike doing this interview, he’s an excellent reporter and a good dude.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

Democrats struggle to be ineffectual about both ICE excessive force murders and ICE depraved indifference murders

NEW: New Hampshire has banned student IDs for voting, adding to a ever-growing list of GOP restrictions ahead of the midterms.

I've warned for years that Republicans planned to reroute federal family planning dollars to crisis pregnancy centers—groups that won't even talk about birth control. I re-upped that prediction just last week. A day later, this Politico piece dropped. jessica.substack.com/p/the-white-...

Some discussion on Artemis II broadcast about how dark the Moon is compared to Earth. Here's a really nice look at the two together from the same camera -- the Moon isn't white, it's dark brown www.planetary.org/space-images...

Please nobody plug it back in

Can confirm

The fail whale couldn't kill twitter, so why do we expect a little slowness here to stop us?

23 not counting airport layovers

They don't care as long as the people dying don't look like them *AND* think like them

Congrats to every member of the WHCA eagerly lining up to schmooze with him over hors d'oeuvres

the NCAA women's tournament getting Red Panda and the NCAA men's tournament getting the Chainsmokers is a great example of how toxic masculinity harms men too

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Before the Challenger exploded, engineers tried to tell their bosses that the o-ring that failed would do exactly that. Their bosses decided their NASA contract - aka the money - was more important than safety and gave the go ahead anyway. I think about that a lot lately.

Okay, again... this is how TF you write a GD'ed headline!!!

Bilbao. We flew there as a stopover before a wine tour in a few small towns in Rioja but really enjoyed the food and the general vibe of the city. Plus catching my first in person La Liga match really helped.

there were 1,600 murders in New York City in 1975 there were 303 murders in New York City in 2025 New York City's population increased by about 30% over that time period

This game is drunk as hell. West Ham scored two goals in stoppage time. 2-2 against Leeds 90+10' on ESPN2 in the #FACup quarters

see that’s just, like, your opin— ah bsky.app/profile/park...

It is quite objectively a news story that the most prestigious media outlet in the world is deleting the president’s statements to conceal his insanity in a war crime threat, and other news outlets can report that story very easily in a way that could both inform their audience and peel off readers

Quite a contrast to start my feed this morning.

they took him for a car ride and did some slow laps around where he wants that arch in arlington after this btw
