This happening same time as the fall of Target MEANS SO MUCH TO ME 🥰🥰🥰

I’m still processing what happened this morning.

Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

A chart titled "How Rich is Donald Trump: $7.3 billion," showing his wealth skyrocketing in 2025

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

This woman's life, death, and human dignity is not a thought exercise or political "skirmish," as Bruenig calls it. This kind of blasé dehumanization is straight up abhorrent

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

It looks like the Democratic ticket this fall in Virginia will be:

Abigail Spanberger
Ghazala Hashmi
Jay Jones

Fox News’ Ben Domenech tells Ilhan Omar to buy a one-way ticket to Somalia

Between this and DJT Jr's rant on the Buzzfeed Benny podcast, it's been a hell of a week for disgraced plagiarists with lucrative far-right media grifts www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

This is where trump actually does have a sort of inimitable dumb guy super power, because if you caught him out like this he would be like "you say 92 million, but there's a lot of people who say less, a lot less, and I assume some people who say more. Such a nasty question"

Every year that passes, I come to better appreciate just how traumatic members of the US elite find it to be yelled at by progressive young people. It is *vastly* more upsetting to them than being yelled at by reactionaries. They warp their entire identities & ideologies around it!

increasingly obvious that congressional dems have seized on the "distraction" thing because it provides them with an excuse for doing nothing about any concrete issue and instead complaining about some general principle that they think plays well in focus groups

it is a sign of just how little pull vance has in the white house that he made an account on a niche social network to troll

JD joining Bluesky just to write anti-trans posts while the admin prepares to bomb a major Middle Eastern power just tells us all he's not in the room where it happens.

Parallel to our point. He is obiviously frozen out. Every faction up there has a reason not to trust him. So he has to make noise elsewhere.

it was incredibly stupid. stupider than you can imagine. the stupidity of the commentary especially was low key my inspiration for wanting to get into the takes game. me at 14 basically, “i could do better than this shit”

I was too young to be ware of the Iraq invasion debate but was it this degree of stupid? It can't have been this stupid.

The ultrasecret weapon: *the followup question*!

I am so goddamn pissed that I watched a fucking *Tucker Carlson* clip to see someone *actually press someone for an actual fucking response*.

Goddamnit I am so mad.

Trump specifically seems to have this superpower where he can flounder over the most basic question, and it just... doesn't matter? To wit:

youtu.be/ERUngQUCsyE?...

Yes this is my whole point.

Not one person has asked Trump anything like this in 10 years.

ted cruz doesn't know shit and he's embarrassed to be caught

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Yall my hairdresser is a year away from buying a house and I just want yall to know that there is NOBODY on earth you could cheer for more. The BEST mother to two EXCELLENT wise children and just a good person. If I ever move Im shaving my head bald. I couldnt have anyone else do it. She is so great

Cruz didn’t just forget Iran’s population. He confessed to a war crime on national TV. The U.S. is bombing Iran right now. No authorization. No oversight. This is how empires operate when accountability is dead.

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

Hot take, but if you're "all for women's liberation but what (woman) is doing with her life/body/career sets us back," you're not really for women's liberation. If she is only liberated when it's good for the movement she isn't liberated at all. Replacing patriarchy with self policing isn't freedom.

Good morning bluesky!

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
