Democracy and trains

These motherfuckers deliberately target schools for violence HERE. I sure as shit believe they targeted schools elsewhere too.

The fact that they didn’t pick Minneapolis hands-down tells me these dumbasses really ain’t about that life

A minute ago, Trump said the war with Iran would take as long as necessary. "I don't get bored." He is now discussing the drapes he selected for the East Room.

I thought the rules were that you could only use Signal for planning war crimes and were required to add a reporter to the chat

Ban the fucking polymarkets. Betting on death. Betting on war while Incentivizing death and war. Shaping foreign/domestic policy by rewarding the rich people already in the know and encouraging them to make decisions that destroy the world while padding their pockets. Burn it down.

We're way past quota

Also, we don't need more dumbasses in the mix either!

Because we put... incels in charge of the Pentagon???

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

Sincerely wishing all the most evil people would go gather in one spot, kill each other in whatever order is convenient, and leave everyone else the fuck out of it.

ICE Moves Minneapolis Fleet to Williamsport Detention Warehouse As ICE builds out a detention infrastructure across the mid-Atlantic, equipment from its Minneapolis operation is heading to Maryland.

Iranians Who Seized U.S. Embassy Release 4 Women and 6 Black Men (Published 1979)

In 1979 when Iranian students seized the US embassy they eventually let go all of the Black people working there because they understood that the US would only care about white Americans. Iran understands our society far better than we understand theirs or our own.

So happy for them, it’s been a long rough run for so many of our small businesses

Cherish every meal you have at a locally owned spot and celebrate when they have a "good month this week" because someone's IG post told the world about them:

A few hours before the U.S.-Israeli bombs started hitting Iran, I posted a new essay on why we have so few monuments to peace and why it is so hard to sustain peace movements. Let's fix that.

The defining feature of the Trump administration is glee at the suffering of girls.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

An administration most centrally dedicated to embracing the full array of ways to maul and murder children.

I have known three-year-olds who would be embarrassed by throwing this kind of a temper tantrum in public.

A solid quarter of NOPD’s manpower is racing down Galvez right now in the upper ninth

1/ @marthasjones.bsky.social and @katemasur.bsky.social have drafted a seminal brief: (a) that centers Black American beliefs on birthright citizenship and (b) uses a set of primary sources, such as speeches and Colored Conventions, fought for (and won) broad birthright citizenship for everyone.

Florida Lawmakers: Stop Political Repression – Vote NO on SB 1632/HB 1471 Please take action!

🚨 Florida is fast-tracking a bill that would allow a handful of state officials to label a group a “domestic terrorist organization” without basic due process.

It’s on track to pass next week. Lawmakers need to hear from as many people as possible NOW 👇

This is about Platner in Maine and I swear, y’all, there is a chance to stop a Fetterman Sinema type right now but it looks like that won’t happen. You’d think the SS tattoo would be enough … alas.

I don’t care if he is truly a decent guy, that’s great for anywhere but the national stage.

Have you considered not voting to confirm his election denying nominees as part of this “raising the alarm” strategy?
