I missed this a month ago but so. Many. Layers of meaning ❤️

THIS is the way I want AI used

One of worst bits of the Epstein files, is that it’s so batshit crazy, it has you doubting your sanity believing any of it. This is late night conspiracy radio shit that you laughed at in the past.

I felt like Operation Epic Fury was a video game name, I didn’t notice this other thing

Hard to argue but I don’t like where this is going…

I might be too angry to be online today. To hell with these boys playing their cruel war games.

The soldiers in my family are not your toys; the families you bomb are not your toys.

When I think about this administration, I think of Granny Weatherwax: "Sin is when you treat people as things."

I don’t think that’s unhinged. That’s what’s so upsetting about this timeline: It’s totally in the realm of possibility.

What’s wrong, Congress? You’ve barely even touched your checks and balances

This the article? I want to share widely, am looking for a solid link to post

In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

Pretty much excited about anything but that damn ballroom

Could we, say, move those shows to PBS, or if they’re outside the PBS brief start something new & cooperatively owned & membership driven?

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

We’re not being governed, we’re being looted.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Threaten me with a good time

Capitalism is a “can we not” for me BUT supporting women & queer folk is a “hell yes,” so:

Me: No, I’m pretty sure Daylight Saving Time starts on a weekend, not tonight. But maybe Trump changed it [half laugh]

Cub: [Special Political Snark Voice] Trump changed it… So it only happens to white people.

There is a version of this world that could exist where, at any given time, the majority of humans beings are just chillin’ and eating fruit.

Democrats — here's your campaign ad for 2026.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.

Their stories should be known:

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age.

It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]
