They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

3/3 In my view, the editor’s decision to publish a rebuttal that fails to address the core issues was a poor choice.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

June 18, 2025. Masa. Northern Nigerian delicacy made from rice. Had lots of good masa while at NIPSS for my last sabbatical and wanted some. Best strategy for authenticity: make it myself. Dr. Gbemisola Abiola, my younger colleague who'd done fieldwork in Northern Nigeria helped. Turned out great.

Donald Trump put a Fox News commentator in charge of the Pentagon.

His Vice President was talking about war plans in a Signal chat.Β 

He says he knows better than the generals.Β 

This is who is putting our men and women in uniform in harm’s way.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

I’m a lesbian. But if I were to date someone, fall in love, and build a life with them, only for them to one day go β€œI actually think I’m a man” I could not imagine I’d leave them. This is what I mean by sexuality is messy. Also I’d make β€œyou trapped me in a het relationship” jokes forever

Watching the footage of 2012 Trump condemning Obama's non-invasion of Iran is another reminder of how far the President's verbal acuity has declined.

Trump has always been very ignorant but he used to be reasonably articulate. Not any more.

If the second most mentioned pedophile in the Epstein files starts a war with Iran to divert attention away from a credible deposition that he is a child rapist... I'd say this woman has a valid point. πŸ˜³πŸ‘‡

People might think Trump won't send troops into Iran, they need to think again. This will sow chaos in the United States. It will bring outrage and possibly violence. During that chaos, Trump could takeover elections and enact martial law, suspend the United States Constitution.
