The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Yes! This is important context that needs to keep being repeated.

Trump accidentally inventing AI…

This is the post I’ve been waiting for from a Democrat.

Minnesota would like a word.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

This. You don’t have to choose. False dichotomy.

The other part that’s missing from this argument is that China’s main source of power is coal (over 60%)… so still burning a fossil fuel, just a different one and the worst one.

Hours after ABC News ran a story about Mischief Toy Store, ICE agents arrived at their door “In 27 years of being retailers in St. Paul, we’ve never been audited for this,” one owner said.

Daughter does anti-ICE interview with ABC and three hours later her family’s toy store gets an audit delivered to their front door…

“There was no imminent threat from Iran to 🇺🇸 that would warrant sending our sons and daughters into another war in the Middle East.”

Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

Tell that to Massie

I'm walking into spiderwebs- leave a message and I'll call you back.

It’s because she married Blake Shelton. Now she’s a Jesus/Abortion/MAGAt just like him. She’s always been a talentless cosplay act though-this is just the latest iteration. 🙄#hillsIwilldieon

Those signs about to be defaced in three, two…

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Ironic that a felon’s picture now hangs on the DOJ. Also… those yellow ties look sloppy AF.

If you see this, post a character that starts with S

One can only hope this forces a more serious talk about Teflon Don’s role in the Epstein files… when a bona fide prince can’t get away with this behavior, surely a make-believe king can’t get a pass either… right?! 🤞🏼

RIGHT?!

<<side eyes the GOP and the MSM>>

Why would Republicans redact 90% of a democrat hoax? Explain it to me like I’m 5.

I have never bawled my head off from watching dance before, but this had me sobbing uncontrollably.

This tribute to Renee Good & Alex Pretti dipicting #ICELawlessness is something EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN NEEDS TO SEE!

Bravo to the dancers of Hungryman Productions & choreographer Mathew Steffens!
