I was such a big Yankee fan as a kid, and I loved this guy.

As I scroll through triumphal pro-war tweets, thinking about this image a lot today:

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

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.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

If you're wondering how the "mainstream" press covered Trump's State of the Union, it was indistinguishable from a GOP press release.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

I miss having a president who treated people with basic human decency and could communicate clearly and coherently.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

How about a law that says a state of emergency declared by the President only lasts until Congress can call an emergency session to confirm it? 48 hours should be long enough in a real emergency. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Congress met the next day and declared war before lunch.

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

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

I’m shocked he’s even aware there is a SOTU. Apparently, he has zero staff to keep him informed of anything.

USA Men’s Hockey has also kinda lost the window to make any type of statement that feels genuine. Anything at this point is just going to be PR drool.
