(ANTON CHEKHOV AWAKENS WITH A START)

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

This is straight up, Nazi "dual state" shit. If a naturalized citizen commits a crime, we have mechanisms in place to hold them accountable. It's called the legal system and it applies to all of us. This extra targeting of only *some* people accused of crimes is part of a broader, expulsive project.

republicans: LET THE VOTERS DECIDE wait not like that

Found Martin Luther’s burner account.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily. Don't forget to keep protesting.

Sure. No military in history has ever been horrifically affected by the impact of preventable disease. Just ask Thucydides.

“The harms of detaining children are known … Court filings of abuse against children have included refusals to provide clean water, rotten food contaminated w/worms, dangerous medical neglect, sleep deprivation, denial of legal counsel, the separation of children from their families …”

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Perfect time to display this graph showing the growth of my deep concerns about your opinion

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

I have never felt so seen

The Rehnquist/Roberts court on Bivens: We will not let victims of abusive cops sue their abusers under this judge-created doctrine. The same court on qualified immunity: We will hide behind this judge-created doctrine to make sure victims of police abuse cannot sue their abusers.

Cuture warriors defend western civilization by banning colleges from teaching . . . er . . . Plato and Shakespeare.

oh wow you’re telling me that jd vance follows yet another nazi on twitter

You must go home and be born over again; you don’t know how to cook a whale-steak yet.

Yeah, Just War is a thing; the well-drilled theologians offering their thoughts on the current situation are extremely aware of the many centuries of debate on the topic, and they're still saying what they're saying

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) ThunderCats (1/1985-9/1989)

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

"Trump's not conservative" Oh no you don't. No no no no no. I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that. But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

at some point conservatives should have to do something that makes the world better if they want to keep winning elections

Please inform your goldfish, or any other household creatures who possess 3-second memory spans, that the Strait of Hormuz was open *before* Trump started bombing Iran.

books: the rectangle that can’t send you push notifications. Try: books.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

several tubs had been filled with the fragrant sperm

I mistakenly attributed a poem by Maggie Smith to Mary Oliver on a podcast and I feel like Bluesky is the platform where I can offer my confession, serve my penance, and be forgiven. Shit. While I’m confessing, I think I’m talking like this because I also might sort of like the new Pope…? Yikes

Why then do you try to “enlarge” your mind? Subtilize it.

trust me on this: insist on cash and get the money up front

My based son, Norman, kicked your milk-drinking son’s ass.

Mueller absolutely saved Trump’s ass. He’s just too stupid to realize it. That’s the irony that’s screwing us all. The institutionalists keep institutionalizing while Trump sets about destroying them.

can it be closed down sooner

It's changing so, so fast - @jenniferraff.bsky.social's "Origin" is great on the genetics as of a few years ago and I highly recommend it.

invasion of Iraq was 23 years ago today. A colossal failure of judgement that led to a million Iraqi deaths, and 4418 US forces deaths, for no goddamn reason at all

I think it's time we call them by their rightful name: Concentration camps. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

Scientists say “We have severely undercounted the number of COVID deaths,” and if you are wondering how this could possibly happen, please keep in mind that it is easy to severely undercount deaths when your society was never interested in counting them in the first place

The deal breaker for Americans wasn’t sending missiles to kill 170 children at an elementary school or their President and his friends raping children with Epstein and Trump’s DOJ covering it up. The deal breaker for Americans was $3.75/gallon National average for gas prices. This is abhorrent.

They are SO WEIRD

The Iliad is about how you can’t let the opponent’s best player get the matchup they want in crunchtime

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

prepare for what follows

call me old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should have to trade for “no deporting US citizens” we should get that one for free you know

“We should address the harm done, honor the survivors, and recognize the leader who Dolores Huerta continues to be today by honoring her monumental efforts which have bent the arc of history towards justice.”

If you think the Cesar Chavez story is a "distraction from Epstein" or doesnt merit coverage because it's not about Trump or gas prices or whatever, you should rethink the choices you made to get where you are. It's a HUGE story. Other things matter besides Trump and Epstein.

For my newsletter, I wrote about all the ways @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign challenged the conventional thinking about modern campaigning: www.burnsnotice.com/kat-abughaza...
