What gives me special insight is that I’m a Military Sexual Assault survivor, and that I was in that documentary about it that he made fun of

I don’t think he foresaw the power that his words would have on the future. And they say irony is dead…

A serious president would not go golfing at a time like this. A serious president would not announce a military attack on social media. #FuckTrump #ITMFA

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

From an ex-Hungarian MP @dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social, on April elections:

"The question is whether those who write the rules, distribute the money, count the votes, and announce the results will be willing to tolerate a world where they are no longer in power"

So we’re just going to spend billions in bombs, kill the Ayatollah, temporarily degrade their military, then walk away and hope they learned their lesson? That’s the plan?

Trump Directs Entire Federal Government To Drop Anthropic After Standoff With Pentagon Anthropic rejected a request from the Pentagon to allow it to have unrestricted access to its AI model, taking issue with the agency using the model for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

For those who know: is it thanks to John Roberts that Donald Trump can never be held accountable for prosecuting an illegal war because it is an official act of the president? Or was the immunity for petty crime (/s) like taking classified documents...
