Fuck no he hasn't

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top. just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

What a dickhead

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

Everyone in this government lacks nuanced thinking. No planning, no consideration for ramifications,etc

Thing is, we don't actually know that it's good for anybody, and conceding this in Trump's favor isn't helpful. Yes, everyone at the top of the Iranian government was bad. But this does not necessarily mean unilaterally killing them improves the situation! It could make it much worse!

[huge bong rip] what if there is a February 29th every year but we usually don't remember it, like Dark City

Lmao fuck you Pod Save America

It’s called a functioning spinal column. Thank you @scoutingamerica.bsky.social.

Since Mahmoud Khalil's initial immigration hearing, new evidence has come to light that makes clear the government targeted him solely for his speech. That's why we have filed a new motion with the Board of Immigration Appeals urging them to consider these documents.

guys I’m literally ten days into Lent, and this is the SECOND person on the list who appears to have died after experiencing seizures in ICE custody when they’d never had seizures before so many cases where ICE never releases an official cause of death. what tf is happening behind closed doors

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Now we know whose zombie hands were holding up the world on the FIFA Peace Prize: immigrants in America, those who support them, children in Iran, and Venezuelans. That's just so far.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Honestly, they ve caught on that Trump is bulletproof. Words, pictures, videos of him doing the most heinous things in the world either won't be believed or be applauded.

“Extraordinary day of aggression” is one hell of a way to characterize blowing up 183 school girls and starting a war of choice in the Middle East.

Oh, Jesus, let's make life more complicated, shall we?

Woman who attended SOTU to highlight her arrest without cause arrested without cause at SOTU. ““I just stood up. I stood silently, with no signs. I was not blocking anyone’s view of the hall. And then I was arrested.”

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

This is a reminder: when ICE says someone rammed their vehicle for no reason, they're almost certainly lying. If people were out there trying to harm ICE agents, they wouldn't be trying to hit massive SUVs with their cars. That math just doesn't work.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I particularly enjoyed the "what are these even for?" whilst showing the labelling which tells you what they're for

She's an idiot and probably her for is flavorless. I can buy any of that on Amazon, at Walmart it Kroger. Sumac and zaatar are 2 of my favorites. Her scorn at French curry powder is so ignorant-like many others, it came to France via colonialism & immigration. It's all awesome.

Yeah, it's wrinkled. I don't care. Had to take it out of the bottom of the drawer for today.

I know that everyone here hates the “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

When your childhood is a lesson in media archeology… 😂

I guess I can't imagine what would be in the Epstein Files that would make him look worse than bombing an elementary school full of girls does. It must be worse than mass murder.

Cripes, even sycophantic Cruz isn't falling in line?

How can he go through life being such a lickspittle?

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures. It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

Or maybe. And just bear with me here. We can address both?

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

It's unlikely any of us authors whose books were stolen to train Claud are actually going to get the money promised to us in the Anthropic settlement, fwiw. They don't have that kind of liquidity.

This will age as well as when @brianstelter.bsky.social wrote that tweet saying women shouldn’t be worried about Republicans going full Handmaiden’s Tale. Then they banned abortion. And he deleted the tweet and never referenced it.

The group is just waiting for someone to write in and ask for like 200 glitter rainbow dick whistles. Do it for them. 😂

At the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Minneapolis, they’re throwing out ICE whistles shaped like dicks.

Surely there is a gay bar somewhere that would like to hand out free whistles that are also glitter rainbow dicks! How are these going unclaimed 😂

The mood in the White House must be incredibly bleak if this losing issue is what they grasped in a flopsweat effort to improve their fortunes.

Because we put... incels in charge of the Pentagon???
