I can’t get over this tweet

ANDY GRIFFITH talks in 1972 about the possibility of celebrity power being turned into political power. Although he’s talking about the excellent A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) - this is about as prescient as it comes.

Quite a way to frame men importing an abusive power imbalance because current law gives women the choice to not be a sexual possession.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

There's a lot of questions about what Oversight Democrats are doing to hold Pam Bondi accountable for ignoring her lawful, bipartisan subpoena on the Epstein files. Let's talk about it.

This is from 2005. The same year RFK Jr spread a conspiracy ridden article about vaccines in Rolling Stone. He was already a monster at this point.

This was a question I asked Pablo to ask Reps today. You got to listen to her answer because the caption doesn’t do it full justice. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

A 91-year-old grandmother was reported unresponsive, prompting a welfare check by police. When officers arrived, they found her in her room, busy setting a new personal record on a video game.

Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social. Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!" Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]

Anyone shocked that the Pentagon is lying about the deadly attack on troops in Kuwait? "Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood. I want people to know the unit … was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

This is really impressive speed tbh. Not much gets by Powell.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

This guy says what I've been trying to say, only he's better at laying it out. I know Hegseth profited *right before* things went sideways.

C-SPAN callers never disappoint. Dave in Las Vegas: This war in Iran, he only went in there because he's probably a pedophile and people don't want to admit it, but he is... He is not a president, he is a dictator.

Cardinal Pierre was, from 2016 until earlier this year, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States — i.e., the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S. Vance is Catholic, has made that fact a significant part of his public persona, and has a book on his conversion to Catholicism coming out this year.

Like most things in religion, what makes it real is people believing it’s real. Evangelical boomers were getting impatient waiting for the end times they’ve fantasized about. So, they built the scenario: casting Trump in the antichrist role and fanned the flames of war and fascism to bring it about.

AIPAC, in a statement on the Iran ceasefire, praises “historic” U.S.-Israeli campaign and says any sanctions relief deal must: - End Iran’s nuclear program - “Address what remains” of Iran’s missile and drone programs - Cut off Iranian support for militias - Be voted on by Congress

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 OPERATION EPIC FAIL Press TV recreates the “rescue”operation that went so badly they abandoned their gear and bombed their own aircraft. This was likely a failed uranium heist.

This is nuts, Trump really did do exactly what Ryan Grim suggested he do hours earlier: pretend Iran's ten-point plan is a new proposal, counting on the fact that the media hasn't been reporting on Iran's demands to make it look like a new offer Tehran put forward in desperation. Caitlin Johnstone

"Good news! I started a war with Iran and now they're charging a toll in the Strait of Hormuz."

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

Israeli Channel 13 has launched a live countdown for Trump’s deadline on Iran, as if it were a New Year’s Eve celebration.

This is real

Shock in Southern Iran… Iran’s massive petrochemical heart — controlling 85% of their entire exports… Just got obliterated by Israeli strikes! The bombing has started already the ultimatum was not respected not even that. Israel bombed it

55,000 tons of peaches no longer have a buyer at this Peach orchard in California because Del Monte went bankrupt Del Monte Foods is the long time major buyer and processor of California peaches, now roughly 70 long-term contracts with California peach growers are terminated

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

Video released by Tasnim News of the destroyed US airplanes in Iran and the documents of the dead crew members aboard the aircraft at the crash site.

Video of damage after Iranian strikes on energy infrastructure in Kuwait.

Breaking: Thousands of Iranian civilians are now RACING to the area where the downed U.S. pilot is. It’s a race between American and Iranian forces. We dont know if these people want to hurt the american or help him.

Iranian civilians are reportedly causing traffic jams rushing to help capture the pilot of the downed F-15. Clashes reported between Basij forces & US special forces, along with US/Israeli airstrikes in the area. It is believed that the pilot has been located. No reports of his capture....yet.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

Suspicion confirmed: They started the Iran war thinking it’d be easy. Hegseth thought Iran just take it, apparently failing to grasp the difference between a few days of limited bombing and threat of regime change. Very frustrating, since that required dismissing years of scholarship and warnings.

Because she refused to restore Mel Gibson’s gun rights

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

The nakedness with which this man wears his vice is pretty astonishing to see.
