hey, uh @unavaleable.bsky.social or @sodrock.bsky.social, what the hell is happening here

Okay so this is like, a war now, right? This isn’t the Soleimani killing? We’re in the shit?

How has Tim Sheehy not yet been arrested for assault and hauled away as the deranged violent thug that we all saw brutalizing a marine veteran in the senate today?

How to win in November

Is @governor.ny.gov going to govern for the millions of working New Yorkers, or a handful of billionaires?

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...

For March, Taking Alice Wong’s Advice in this Capitalist Hellscape will be our focus, with an invitation to reflect on how this can inspire our Collective Liberation, so I hope you will consider joining us then!🫂

Dear humans, may all the beauty find you ❤️

If the war ends up as a debacle for the US, it is clear that Israel is going to be blamed, and by extension also American Jews, and Jews in general, in a manner surpassing similar accusations regarding the Iraq war. The infrastructure for antisemitism is just far more developed and mainstreamed.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is a major scandal on every level -- corruption, human rights abuses, blatant violations of the law.

In Ecuador, US military carries out 1st land operation against cartels: SOUTHCOM The United States and Ecuador conducted joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador,” U.S. Southern Command announced Tuesday.

I am logging the fuck off now wtf abcnews.com/Internationa...

I refuse to root for Ken Paxton to pull this out because even though I think he’s more beatable I’m old enough to remember thinking that about Trump in 2016.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

Republicans have caused total chaos in Dallas County. It's instructive.

Whether or not Trump attempts some sort of executive order to nationalize election administration, Republicans have an endless number of paths to create absolute mayhem in November.

Texas’s Biggest Right-Wing Donor Has Abandoned Ken Paxton Tim Dunn was the attorney general’s biggest supporter. The U.S. Senate run has changed things.

And of course, the Ken Paxton of it all. Will the embattled, Biblically-divorcing attorney general’s myriad scandals be too much for voters? Can Paxton defeat a John Cornyn, a Texas institution, without the backing of his longtime benefactor, far-right billionaire Tim Dunn?

Interceptors Versus Missiles: The Iran War's Wrath of The Math A theory of Iranian strategy. PLUS: Me, Chris Hayes and Ayman Mohyeldin on the war's politics

I have a theory about Iranian strategy in the war.

I won't shop at Target again unless they become a worker-owned cooperative that gives out free whistles, anti-ICE zines, binders, contraception, and K95 masks.

YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Police Body Cameras: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Pretti’s shooting — “masks off, body cams on” — noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didn’t change shit, and that we’re likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.

In the North Carolina General Assembly, Carla Cunningham, Nasif Majeed, and possibly Shelly Willingham, all conservative Democrats who have voted to overturn Josh Stein's vetoes, are on track to lose their primaries. Look at God.

Indiana's new it's illegal to be homeless law now waiting for the guy who said he thinks interracial marriage should be returned to the states to sign it law is so cruel

(How cruel is it)

It's so cruel even the IN sheriff "union" opposes it, for taking up too many cells in their jails

Hey, cool. @lastweektonight.com just did a segment using reporting I did w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social

Oliver was talking about body cams--and how law enforcement agencies have often undermined their potential

The same body-cams Dems are centering that ICE reforms on

Elgin cop awaiting disciplinary action for ICE social media post granted a disability pension Jason Lentz, the Elgin police officer awaiting discipline for an inflammatory social media post, receives disability pension.

An Elgin cop who went on Facebook to suggest specific places where federal agents might arrest immigrants was granted a disability pension while city officials were still determining whether he would be fired.

I got another hug today!!! 💗

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Lovely government and society we have created
