"floating at the bottom of the sea"

Nailed it!

Remember, not sending them into harm's way is also supporting the troops.

Having asked her to elaborate: phones are a lot different from telephones, because phones have screens & you can play games on them, while telephones just have buttons, which is why they're more like a walkie talkie

Well when you put it THAT way.

Everyone knows a civilized nation just pushes its victims out of a high window or poisons them with radiation.

Come on, people, this is Dictatorship 101

God, calling it Epic Fury is setting itself up to be called Epic Failure. Let’s just hope it will be Epic Fizzle Out Quickly.

"The death toll from a strike on a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran rose to at least 115 people on Sunday, according to Iranian state and state-affiliated media. It appears to be one of the worst mass casualty events of the American-Israeli bombing campaign so far"

Hooo boy. There we go. It was about domestic surveillance after all.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

The party that preaches a merit based approach to society has put the most incompetent people in charge. It's the theme of this administration.

It's like they are fucking with us for fun.

People who don't know Khomeini and Khamenei were two different people, and that not every Muslim recognizes Ayatollahs should not be allowed anywhere near the government, let alone start foreign wars.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Only took a day

*America kicks a hornet’s nest*

Republicans: Let’s praise Trump for having the guts to kick a hornet’s nest

Sane people: What’s the plan after kicking the nest?

Republicans: Why can’t you just be happy he kicked the nest?

Woman who attended SOTU to highlight her arrest without cause arrested without cause at SOTU.
““I just stood up. I stood silently, with no signs. I was not blocking anyone’s view of the hall. And then I was arrested.”

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

This is a reminder: when ICE says someone rammed their vehicle for no reason, they're almost certainly lying.

If people were out there trying to harm ICE agents, they wouldn't be trying to hit massive SUVs with their cars. That math just doesn't work.

Secretary of Warfighting Pete Hegseth will solemnly perform ten (10) pushups for every American soldier lost in this war.

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

I really don’t think the people who celebrate being assholes should be promoting the principle that being a shitty guy warrants being murdered

Who else had a proclivity for giant red, white, and black banners on their government buildings...

How many scenarios for what could happen after an Iranian decapitation attack did Trump ignore because they were prepared under Biden or they were downers or they had too many words and not enough pictures?

…But also we’re not going to bother with actually defeating the repressive forces of the authoritarian regimes or securing their most advanced weaponry against misuse. That’d be too much like work. It’s decapitation attacks all the way down.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.
