*And* (I have to repeat this every time it comes up) if your legal name doesn't match your birth certificate, you're shit out of luck. That could potentially disenfranchise 10s of millions, mostly women.

I'm not worried that the dipshit's gonna bomb California and blame Iran. I'm worried he's gonna nuke San Francisco and blame John Barron

Another point for Bluesky supremacy: if somebody tried to shill crypto for my account here, there’d be a search party for my body in minutes.

The GOP is arguably no longer a party suited for participating in a constitutional democracy where power is decided by free & fair elections. Large numbers of Oregon Republicans, for example, genuinely believe that the only reason Dems win statewide elections by 15+ point margins is that they cheat.

“This is the 12th death in ICE custody in the first 2.5 months of the year,” @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social , senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, wrote on X. “Last year, 30 people died in ICE custody, a record level. This year, we’re on pace for just under twice that amount.”

Military news outlet Stars and Stripes is being directed to drop the Associated Press—and republish Pentagon public affairs content.

These 52 people could have stopped a national and a world catastrophe any time they chose to. They confirmed Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, et al, okayed DOGE and tariffs, and green lighted Trump’s military attacks. The country and the world reels. Fifty-two people.

Every explanation for why the regime started this unwinnable war makes less sense than the wildest conspiracy theory you can come up with.

I’m just waiting with hunched shoulders for the images of the 250th celebration to be forever highlighted by the UFC fighters in a match in front of what’s left of the White House. That image will forever mark our country’s milestone. Just repellent.

Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

Right. I do want a breather. Just like I need sleep at night. I'm a psychiatrist, so I know damn well that *nobody* can be in outrage mode 24-7 & maintain their mental health. You know what happens when people burn out? They break down & stop fighting. Then the authoritarian regime wins.

INTERVIEWER: And how would your friends describe you? ME: Friends??

That's not true. There is one political party in this country desperately trying to impose Sharia Law. It's not the Democrats, or Muslims. It's the GOP.

“You’re not just becoming disabled,” said Elle Seibert, 31, who has dealt with debilitating fatigue and cardiac symptoms since 2020. “You’re realizing how easily society at large and people in your life will abandon you when you cannot offer them things.” www.latimes.com/science/stor...

hey senators here’s your chance to do something really funny today

“America First” sounds great until it turns into “America Alone.” If you spend years bullying allies and torching relationships because you think leadership means dominating people into submission, you can’t be shocked when the world shrugs and says, “handle your own war.”

It's almost like Iran has spent the last 40 years preparing for specifically this scenario or something

wait what

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

this fucking idiot regime can't even do fucking piracy right they are going all in on proving that fascists can't do shit

Morning Bluesky.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Every single President since the 1980’s would have been told by knowledgeable generals to avoid a war with Iran at all costs. That Iran had been preparing for asymmetric warfare for decades. That starting a war with Iran would be too costly economically and militarily.

Two full time jobs with no pay

welp

Obviously Hell doesn't have enough levels

The president’s spokeswoman going on the president’s daughter-in-law’s interview program to lie about the effects of her efforts to strongarm other media outlets into changing a report damaging to the regime would be very recognizable to anyone who’s lived under authoritarianism.

You must remember the Republican refrain of "Yeah, but her emails." Our refrain, now and forever, must be, "Yeah, but the Epstein files." #PedoPresident #TrumpTheBabyRapist #ButTheEpsteinFiles

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

the two things I have just learned from Rep Flood is that this is not going to end and we're not going to see energy independence

"I would like to propose that the seething root of resentment that fuels all these men is hatred of women."

The allies he's calling on to secure the Strait are the same ones his admin launched Section 301 investigations into this week, right?

The Republican-backed spread of TPUSA chapters across public schools is giving ‘Young Pioneers in pre-collapse Soviet Union’ energy.

“Jews are safe from pogroms because they’re associated with money” is certainly one of the takes of all time.

I don't think this meme is accurate because I'm pretty sure by now that the dipshit farts out lies without thinking

well one positive is that, as of the time of this posting, most of us are still alive

Maybe we should hand the signal chat over to Pete Hegseth’s wife and see if she can run this war effort better

I mean in his defense he is a dipshit
