These people are not deluded. They are fully aware they are the bad guys doing bad shit. They also are just aware enough to not just say that.

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” ~ Pope Leo

Dystopia-maxxing: a predictions market announcing that the US is intending to wage an illegal war of aggression against the beleaguered people of Cuba. Fuck this timeline. Truly.

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Another Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by President Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims, according to federal court records.

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.

Meenu Batra has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002. She’s a court interpreter, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. But, on March 17, Batra was detained by ICE agents at the Harlingen Airport: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Yeah

evangelicals eagerly, gleefully pretended not to see the myriad ways trump is the most heretical politician to hold american higher office in modern history so i don't think we should take their outrage as sincere now that they need a way out of his sinking coalition

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

He posted this right after the “Pope Leo is weak on crime and foreign policy” post

an all-timer for "imagine how JD Vance would react if a democrat said any of this"

SEVEN whole law professors?! Here I was thinking that what mattered was every single judge who has ruled on the issue, 125+ years of accepted understanding of the 14th, and centuries of common law on the contours of jus soli. But if Ilan Wurman's side has SEVEN law professors, man, WOW. It's over.

Somehow, the bodycam footage of Alabama police arresting a Black pastor watering his vacationing neighbor's flowers makes the story even more surreal than the headline suggests. They keep threatening to cuff a man who is *actively spraying planter boxes the entire time*.

we cannot live this way.

The US either entered into a negotiation in bad faith or, more embarrassingly, genuinely thought Iran would just abandon the allies it depends on to keep its greatest regional rival at bay.

Just utterly despicable behavior

No! Trump specifically said the ten-point plan was a good basis for a ceasefire! It was literally was just him: he didn't read anything, didn't think it through, bluffed his way into a corner and then thought he could bluff his way out by declaring peace without working out the details.

The Art of the Deal.

There was never an era of vast, hip “woke” dominance that these people are imagining. They all got told off for being rude like once, for the first time in their lives, and it instantly broke their little bubble brains

Yup they still have all the cards…..

Just cringey fucking losers, the lot of them

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

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

Called my Senators and Representative, urging them to cut their recess short, show up in DC, and prepare articles of impeachment against Trump for violating "18 US Code § 1091 prohibiting the crime of genocide," as so clearly explained by my @cipolicy.bsky.social colleague @dylanwilliams.bsky.social

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

The President of the United States is publicly threatening to commit genocide. For love of country, for the freedoms we cherish and for the values we hold dear, the House must immediately reconvene and vote to impeach Donald Trump. Read my full statement: tonko.house.gov/news/documen...

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

(apnews.com/live/iran-wa...)

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

Spectacular images taken by the Artemis II crew of earthset and the eclipse. Just incredible. NASA posts them here and it’s free to access: images.nasa.gov

The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

A President simply cannot do this. It’s not like “controversial” or “breaking norms.” The President not controlling our money is the main structural support beam of American democracy. It’s the whole fucking thing. You let him do this, you have ended the separation of powers.

POLYMARKET: “.. we are investigating how this slipped through our internal safeguards." @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

it's been 11 years, man, are we still fucking doing this "please, sir, my norms" shit with these guys?

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Iran has shot down at least 16 MQ-Reaper drones in the last 30 days, each valued at least $30,000,000, approximately $480,000,000 not counting cumulative costs. This is the most expensive loss in US drone warfare history so far, it also represents 10% of the US aircraft allocated to the region.

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

I guess it makes sense that the push to allow only straight white men in positions of power comes from the least qualified, least competent, least honorable straight white men imaginable -- the ones who know they could not compete without a big leg up

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

hmm

This style of argument—the president can defy a federal law, one signed by an earlier president, because the law interferes with the president's power to take care that federal laws are faithfully executed—is nonsense and should be treated as such.

Thanks to the US & Israel, global medicine prices will rise. The Persian Gulf is not just an energy chokepoint but a critical pharmaceutical transit hub, where drugs and their ingredients from India, Europe, and China routinely pass before heading to Africa, Asia, and America.
