He told a story about US military intentionally sinking an unarmed ship, killing dozens of sailors—a likely war crime. He told it with perfect comedic delivery. And the Republican audience laughed. Because that’s who he is and it’s who they are.

Normally when someone is this deluded, you'd ask them to name the president to see how far they're really gone

Quick Q for everyone: When your president starts sounding like Norma Desmond, is that a good thing? Should that make me feel glad? www.thenecessaryfictions.com/p/trumps-war...

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”. ICE shot him 3 times and killed him. Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”. Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?” These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors. Abolish ICE

I hate that the iconic photo of “I Told You So, Hilary” is more fucking applicable every day.

I would be delighted to read this headline with “Unitarian(Universalist)s instead of “Evangelists.” 😁 #SidingWithLove

Strongly suspect we'll eventually find mass graves under these concentration camps.

Well, that's why you don't sink an unarmed ship to begin with. You demand their surrender or tell them you're gonna sink the ship and give them time to get into their life boats.

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled Noem has been publicly shamed and fired, and I too can’t wait to see her at “Nuremberg 2.0,” but let’s be real:.They’re throwing a woman under the bus. The incompetent white men are skating right now and getting away with murder (and starting wars willy nilly).

1. thanks for clarifying what "ID" means 2. non-citizens voting actually isn't a problem 3. trump himself uses mail-in ballots 4. wait what 5. is this still about voting

Aww, you hate to see it. <bursts out spitting/laughing.

And it's still not the worst thing that DJT has done to schoolgirls.

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

This is my official position on all events until further notice.

Sen Mark Warner stunning words after briefing from Trump regime: "Let's bc clear. There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

hop in boys we’re doing a crusade

I know! Let’s ask our (Christian nationalist) Speaker of the House Mike Johnson about this—and watch him squirm, and lie.

My father loves Hillary Clinton SO MUCH and although I don’t share his enthusiasm for carceral feminism, I get it, I can see the appeal when she’s like, you know what, fuck you dumbasses

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel

I don’t care how you feel about Hilary, she is telling the Oversight Committee exactly what she thinks about them and their farce of an investigation. As Hilary can. Busting ass.

Mike Johnson sure seems to support a lot of sexual harassers and abusers…

Like culture posts on this app simply don’t get the engagement and I think it’s because people feel it’s frivolous and actually it’s the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

A full-throated endorsement of the guy who secretly bought Epstein’s Zorro ranch and is resisting any investigation of the premises.

Leaving the Epstein files and his desire to start a war with someone out of the equation, this country can't afford to keep adding this kind of debt to our bottom line. Who is going to pay for all this? We are all going to be dead. #USDemocracy

Breaking News: Trump's attacks on Iran fail to kill everyone on Earth who knows about the Epstein Files. #USDemocracy #MomSky

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

The King is mad

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

I can understand why people are upset. But they have to understand it was either this or infrastructure updates and more comprehensive health care. Maybe even free school lunches. What choice did they have?

Operation Delirium Tremens

Again, Iran's 2020 interference actually consisted of targeting voters of color. The only way it hurt Trump was by adopting Proud Boy monikers. But to the extent it suppressed the vote, it helped Trump.

I am fucking not eating liver. I mean I already do t eat steak and I damn sure am not going to eat liver.

Post a pic you took, no context—but do ALT text it, to bring some zen to the feed.

So far this morning on This Good Place, I have read about sailors (possibly) stuffing t-shirts in the toilet of the USS Gerald Ford to keep it from sailing to Iran and other military (possibly) striking a CBP drone out of the air in El Paso. Well done, I say, (though a tad expensive).

Welcome to the Resistance, US military death laser

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

Know what a good gut biome and natural light won’t kill? Measles.
