This looks like those Old West photos of the Texas Rangers posing with the corpse of the outlaw they killed

How anybody ever thought this saggy sundowning pedophile, obsessed perpetually with his perfect Barbie dreamhouse, was ever the pinnacle of masculinity is beyond me.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

I stumbled across this the other day. Don’t know who did it but props to them, it really helps you keep track of a fluid situation in the Strait! isthestraitofhormuzopen.com

Trump is threatening Iran with gigantic war crimes again, which is why he should have impeached when he threatened Iran with gigantic war crimes a couple of weeks ago.

NYT headline: "Justice Dept. Moves to Vacate Jan. 6 Convictions for Far-Right Extremists" Article: "By asking the appeals court to toss out their guilty verdicts, the Justice Department avoided the awkward situation of having to defend the convictions." ??? How about "DOJ eagerly helps criminals".

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is now flowering in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.

You'd think that "the clearly deterioriating elderly president attacks The Pope and compares himself to Jesus in an unhinged, late night social media rant" would be a thing that political reporters would perk up about & realize theyd need to cover differently, but I guess not.

On a more serious note, this does show the necessity of a big-tent single-issue pro-democracy coalition. Autocrats lose when anti-authoritarianism is the opposition-uniting priority, and win when they can play divide and conquer on lesser issues.

"President Donald Trump must be removed from office. He is manifestly unfit for office, and his continued presence in office is an existential danger to the United States of America and the world."

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

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

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.

From @sulliview.bsky.social "It comes down to this: The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s... How the media should cover this deranged president open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

Many politicians will say "this is just Trump making empty threats to get his way", but threatening "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" is a threat so depraved, evil, and illegal that he should be impeached instantly. I wrote to my congressman last night.

Trump is a gangster talking about capital crimes—war crimes, crimes against humanity—he intends to commit. EVERY Dem officeholder in Congress should be demanding impeachment. Hakeem Jeffries can introduce an impeachment resolution and get it voted on. There's no excuse for not doing that.

It says something really ugly and frightening about us as a country that we can have a president spouting deranged threats to commit unambiguous war crimes & it’s just another week; no immediate action to remove him from office.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Absolutely. The president is a deranged imbecile without anything resembling normal adult emotional and intellectual capacities, and he's publicly threatening and carrying out war crimes daily. Supremely unfit for any public office. 25th Amendment or impeachment, this is what they're for.

People say Trump has no war strategy, but his strategy is quite clearly a criminal one of destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure (and killing a bunch of people in the process) unless they capitulate. We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah.

Trump is a war criminal, he openly brags about his war crimes, and he threatens new war crimes daily. There's no ambiguity. Bombing Iran "back to the stone ages where they belong" is indisputably NOT a valid military objective, it's the intentional destruction of an entire society.

Pam Bondi only got the job because when she was Florida's Attorney General, she took a bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into Trump University. She was hired because Trump knew she was corrupt and would do his bidding. Pamela Jo *never* had any "integrity" to give up.

With the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz, Trump finally caused a problem so big he can't get out of it. Beyond the limits of TACO. His speech repeated his lies that the war is going great and contradictorily insisted that others fix it, which they won't since he ruined US alliances. We're stuck.

It's good that Trump showed up at the Supreme Court today. The effect is to stamp his face all over this vile effort to end the constitutional birthright of equality and restore hierarchy by blood. Let him be associated with this project forever. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2084...

I know that we've all been through this hundreds of times in various iterations, but: It's really kinda nuts that the president of the United States is a deeply stupid, and deeply deranged, bucket of barely sentient sludge from Queens, and it just keeps...happening.

Eternal shame on every journalist, pundit, politician, and business leader who failed to denounce this man as a miserable racist when it could have stopped him and STILL fail to denounce him now. You suck and you failed us all.

Extremely important to note that Donald Trump, President of the United States, is openly threatening to commit war crimes against a foreign country unless they comply with his demands.

Absolute gutter racism and nonstop lies. This is a thousand times worse than Ronald Reagan’s “welfare queen” lies. Any other modern president would have had to resign if they said these things on camera.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Look folks, the case for the VA redistricting amendment is clear--gerrymandering is bad, but unilateral disarmament in the face of authoritarianism is infinitely worse. We are only in this position because John Roberts and the Republican majority green lit gerrymandering in Rucho v Common Cause 1/x

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

This is not a normal statement or appearance by an FCC chairman. This is a would-be authoritarian lackey bragging about creating a Thought Police. Don’t be okay with this.

Wile E. Coyote isn't just motivated by roadrunners, he's also an obvious technophile, and he weaves these two interests together in novel ways to create his rich tapestry of daily experiences. So yes, a more complex character than Trump.

there's a smaller contingent of people who genuinely don't like Trumpism but who have to imagine some kind of rationality to it because confronting the truth that the most powerful country in the world is in the hands of a senile racist lunatic is too psychially painful.

Yes, donate to public radio and TV. They're refuges where billionaires can't corrupt the programming. Sometimes the programming is great, sometimes it's not, but it isn't controlled by billionaires eager to please Trump.
