me learning her deal and being like "are we SURE one of the horny transbian smut artists on here didn't sneak into gamefreak dot com world headquarters to write this in"

they're really convinced Venezuela was like an actual military victory and not Venezuela doing kayfabe while the US did a palace coup for them

as someone who hasn't really kept up with the pokemons since I was a kid I remain deeply fascinated that the most notable thing from the latest one seems to be "they put a character who is a transbian sexual fantasy in this for like no reason"

damn I sure hope my contempt isn’t hidden

D pols can make political hay of it, whatever helps stop this from continuing is good and the histrionics over Da Troops is not a message meant for me, but Donald's "it's what they signed up for" is about where my sympathy for Da Troops extends to here.

"ohh the US mil has had four KIA it's so sad :(" we blew up a school full of children.

US media discourse treating US military casualties like the only deaths that matter in this IS making me lose my mind and I know it's nothing new at all but holy shit I would have lost my mind if I'd been old enough to understand what was going on in Dubya

Final day of the month and I'm $800 short thanks to the month being short—I can go a few days over into March if necessary but please help!

most people who are not trans women don’t seem to know how terrifyingly isolating it can be to be a trans woman.

it’s v possible to have nobody in your corner. at all. no family. no friends. no community. nobody to offer you a kind word or share a meal with you.

people do famously do that

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ WASHINGTON—In a pointed critique of President Trump’s foreign policy leadership, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated to members of the press Thursday that “the American people deserve a presid...

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

"our troops deserve a commander in chief who—" okay lay it on a little less thick are you going to end this statement by asking me for 20 dollars

I'm like wow that's so overtly "I'm running" it feels a little sideeye-worthy

Trump II is everything people warned could happen if the Dubya administration got away with its civil liberties violations, advocacy of torture, and general authoritarianism - which, by the way, it did.

in the too-specific-identifying-information case I do always cast a raised eyebrow at how the hyper-local history museum is like "the town was founded in the 1880s by these two families that are still prominent here today; where did they get town-founding money from? don't worry about it."

by my time at least they did tell us south carolina were the bad guys but it's one of those things where it's like "is this watered down because it's for third graders or is it watered down because Ideology"

this motherfucker right here

Trump wouldn't be doing this if he didn't think he'd get an approvals bump ahead of a midterm he's worried about. The fact that he's wrong about that will eclipse the baser, sordid reality that our nation kills schoolgirls because it will make a handful of old men happy, nothing more

Holden Bloodfeast is a years-old caricature for a reason

the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you realize that "better to rule in hell than serve in heaven" is a real ideology and it's the only one the southern elite has through to this day

I am looking at you Charles

democrats who start their statements with an hour of throat clearing about how the IRI is the great satan are getting thrown overboard at the first available oppportunity

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

these people think being evil makes them cool, like the Empire from Star Wars. But they are actually evil and impossibly cringe and stupid, like the Empire from Star Wars.

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."
