*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Me, an Episcopalian. Ready to go to battle for the whole entire pope. Who knew.

Genocidal threats and illegal wars seem like high crimes and misdemeanors.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I’m concerned about the future of the FIFA Peace Prize.

are we just expected to function today or

So, now we understand how Trump speaks to his abuse victims.

I legitimately resent losing the meme war.

Israel is a geopolitical externality that is pan-aggressivist and ignores the post WWII legal order. It does so on the back of the PERCEPTION of US military invincibility. US/Israel allied gulf powers are also built on the same foundation. This war shows that perception to be a house of cards.

We’re in a whole entire WAR! Imagine busying yourself with who the boss of CHAPLAINS is!!! “Our kids are getting bombed out of the sky, sir!!” “Not now! I have learned that our chief librarian is a Dewey Decimal skeptic!”

They DONT BELONG in the Stone Age. They belong here and now. They’re 90 million people. Vibrant, educated, good people. They deserve to thrive.

This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

The good seating is only for lawyers. He can come, but he has to sit in the back.

Has he ever even tried doing something legal?

This is a Sam Alito subtweet.

For poetry month, please, let’s all finally agree: This is not a god poem. This is a sex poem.

ICE raids and the Iran war. We’re turning into a country that only does this one thing that nobody wants.

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

I agree that war crimes are bad, but also I’m a little bit alarmed that there don’t appear to be any war police patrolling the area.

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

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

You have almost no Constitutional rights or protections against false arrest.

Can someone please just tell me who Hasan Piker is? I literally can not bear another podcast.

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

i can't find a principled way to articulate this but there are some things that should only exist in the grey market. you should have to take some risk to participate and the risk functions as regulation. for gambling, it should be travel or physical violence. i don't make the rules.

Enough

my working assumption is that Trump is mad at Reuters

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Ask yourself why it’s important now. Ask yourself why someone would feel the need to be on both sides of THIS particular fence. Ask yourself why @reazlepuff.bsky.social and what she exposed and whether you support her is relevant today.

So, Glenn Greenwald was kind enough to reach out and say he had nothing to do with Reality Winner getting caught, so it appears as though I misremembered the detail from 9 years ago. The important thing is for absolutely nobody to think he was mad.

stealing this as a chapter title

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

RIP Robert Mueller, he was preceded in death by the Rule of Law.

I’m absolutely living for the Afroman trial.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I'm going with the Pope on this.

i think that the entire supreme court should do ayahuasca together

Cmon COOGS!! #phislammajamma

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
