Iran didn’t just fire back at Israel. It targeted US military installations across the Gulf — Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE. That means US servicemembers are in the crosshairs right now. Al Udeid Air Base. The 5th Fleet headquarters. Bases across four countries.

too many people are being waaaayyyy too consent manufacturing shaped right now dawg. they fucking blew up kids. if your gut reaction to what's going on right now is anything less than "holy hell this should never have happened and it needs to stop immediately" you need to do a lot of self reflection

President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

It’s so sickening.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Running list of lawmakers opposed to the US and Israel's illegal war with Iran.

If your elected official isn't on this list, make note, and primary the F out of them.

Yes please

THIS.

56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough

56% - Trump is not committed to our rights

62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: ​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. ​An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. ​An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. ​An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.

This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.

This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

I understand. It gets harder and harder dealing with these PAs. I’m so sorry you have to go through that. Glad to see you are hanging in there!!

Here’s a story way more people should be talking about.

Donald Trump is about to try to ram through another massive tax break for the super rich.

Hell no. Not one more cent for the Epstein class.

Dept. of Defense shoots down Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso: Officials Ranking members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure released a statement on the incident on Thursday.

This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime.
If we go to war, GOD help us.

Sen Chris Murphy: A UAE investor secretly gave Trump 187 million dollars and his top Middle East envoy 31 million dollars. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent

I am devastated to hear of the passing of Nurul Amin Shah Alam. He was a refugee of the Rohingya genocide living in Buffalo, New York. Border Patrol agents wrongfully detained him and dumped him on the street in brutal winter conditions. Blind and walking with a cane, he died trying to get home.

The U.S. Border Patrol abandoned a blind, disabled Rohingya refugee to die in frigid Buffalo, a new low for the Trump regime, writes @willbunch.bsky.social.

Casey Means, Trump's Surgeon General nominee, refuses to say that health care is a human right.

And on top of that - she doesn't have a medical license.

Congress must not confirm this unqualified “wellness” influencer to be Surgeon General.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Um

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

Please! Kansan here, begging everyone to get the word out. The KS GOP has shoved this through, ignoring reg procedures and public input. They’re counting on the national shit show to give them cover. I don’t have a large following, please help! @marisakabas.bsky.social @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social

Republicans flipped this seat red by fewer than 2,500 votes in 2024!
@mannyrutinel.bsky.social is running to flip it back! — Colorado 8th

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

Shah Alam, 56, did not speak English. He was lost. He could not see. Border Patrol didn't contact his family or lawyer. They left him on the streets of Buffalo, where he died five days later.

TILLIS: “.. I’m sure they’re good negotiators, but they’re not subject to Senate confirmation and they’re not subject to oversight. .. That doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Every agent who participated in this should spend the rest of their life in prison.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009.

The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time.

Trump pointed at the Dem side and yelled, “THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!”

Dems should have gotten up and walked out at that point.

It was incredibly ugly.
