If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Only the racists and the rich have a president now

Quakertown ICE protest brings scrutiny to police chief’s unusual dual role and social media posts In August, responding to a President Trump post criticizing Democrats, the McElree account described the party as “a deep state oligarchy” and “domestic terrorist organization.”

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

YouTube video by The Economist Which are the most disturbing Epstein emails?

The only redactions should be of the victims names and details.

'The Economist used a large language model to analyse 1.4m of Epstein’s emails to identify the most disturbing. It flagged numerous concerning conversations with individuals whose identities are redacted.'

"got working whites to hate very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, healthcare and power to fight back against big banks & corps"

"majority of recipients of government aid are white. For decades, however, TV shows, movies and the news media have portrayed Black people as imp

Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

Shame on all involved with #EpStein

MoD launches review into whether Epstein used RAF bases Records and emails will be reviewed to determine whether the convicted sex offender used military bases when visiting the UK.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence is now looking into whether Epstein used RAF bases.

"You now have a list of male suspects from the hundreds of thousands of pages of the Epstein materials. Who do you plan on questioning?"

REPUBLICANS: Easy. Hillary Clinton.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

48,000 letters sent from constituents to their reps. 187 House members are on board.

We're making headway in the fight to impeach Kristi Noem, but we can't let up. Please send your letter now—it only takes a minute!

welcome to personalist america, where the new bar of constituent service is “personally ask the king to release one of my constituents that his paramilitary abducted.” it’s great that mamdani can do that, but feels very, very ominous that he has to.

I thought Mamdani would be good at the job, but that he’s also the Trump Whisperer despite his politics is a kind of transcendence. No way to quantify how valuable that interpersonal connection is.

It seems to me that the foundational 'wrong turn' in education was the increasing rhetoric from universities themselves and their supporters that the primary value of a university education was increased earning power.

That leads pretty directly to this place we're in now.

what even is the fucking point

First point, correct, but on the second, I do actually think that there is a meaningful connection between the Greek and Roman past and modernity.

Not all of that connection is good! But it is a connection. Democracy & human rights (& transatlantic slavery) emerged in part through that connection.

It sure seems bad that as an American citizen, I have no idea.when our president will lawlessly and unilaterally take us to war with Iran because there has been no public debate at all.

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧵

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

The State of the Union really highlighted to me three themes of the Trump presidency (especially the second one). First, it's notable that in a speech to joint session of Congress, how little Congress was asked to do.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Buffalo Police officers who pushed 75-year-old during Black Lives Matter protest cleared of wrongdoing | CNN Two Buffalo, New York, police officers who pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground in June 2020, fracturing the man’s skull, were cleared of wrongdoing by an arbitrator on Friday.

Also if this is Buffalo PD remember that this is the same force that pushed a 75-yo peaceful protester to the ground during thr BLM protests www.cnn.com/2022/04/11/u...

My hottest JFK take is that the Cuban Missile Crisis was not him being heroic or dovish or anything of the sort. He almost blew up the world over an issue that was politically embarrassing but strategically irrelevant, and made a total hash of our international law principles in the process.

Your reminder that while RFK jr. is certainly the Worst Kennedy, his old man is the most overrated

The whole benighted clan has always been vastly overrated. He had his pros and cons like all of them, but on the whole JFK was not a particularly good president, and at times he was spectacularly corrupt, dishonest, and/or reckless.

(the median Republican is a threat to all life on earth)

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

Clarence Thomas Just Created a Dangerous New Threat to Mail Voting The Supreme Court handed down an alarming decision on Tuesday prohibiting Americans from suing the Postal Service for damages.

Of course @mjsdc.bsky.social gets it.
