Wow

Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Perfect @bagleycartoons.bsky.social

Riddle me this:

If Trump's military hasn't issued any illegal orders, why has Pete Hegseth been unable to come up with *any* legal justification for killing those fishermen in boats in the Caribbean?🤔

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My sister is a nurse. My oldest daughter is a nurse. My wife is a lab tech. And...and one time...I was a nurse. Don't tell my family...or the hundreds of thousands of other families...that nurses...and those in the health field...aren't "professionals."

You're Goddamn right we're professionals.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

I am enjoying watching these guys -- Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Marjorie Taylor Greene -- all discover in real time the ugly truth about their own shitty Republican party, which we've known forever.

Still... it's all just noise until they start telling people to vote Democratic or stay home.

Anna Bower & @AnnaBower X.com Hey @EdMartinDOJ @EagleEdMartin, You shared a highly dubious report accusing Shauni Kerkhoff of being the J6 pipebomber. Will you now share this credible report that she's factually innocent and that the FBI ruled her out as a suspect?

Hey Ed

Republican says US "about to go in" to Venezuela, with oil a key reason Representative Maria Salazar, a Florida Republican, says that regime change in Venezuela would result in a "field day" for US oil companies.

Donald Trump, the same person who is telling us he would never use the US military to do anything illegal, is on the verge of using the US military to steal another sovereign nation's oil. Just 'cause he wants it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@timmiller.bsky.social is 100% correct.

Well deserved. An important, and gripping, book about our times.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Waters: This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we're all doing: resisting this lowdown dirty no good filthy president

We have lost every single internet platform that informed the world about what's really happening in Palestine. Every single one.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Early this morning, groups of Israeli settlers forced their way into a Palestinian home in the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, causing extensive damage throughout the property.

Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Pentagon investigates Democratic senator for telling troops to refuse 'illegal orders' The Pentagon says it's opening an investigation into Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly in the wake of a video of Democratic lawmakers urging servicemembers not to comply with "illegal orders."

4/ "This is a real stretch by the administration," "very rare," "politically charged."

"It is hard to see it going forwards" because of First Amendment.

Pentagon investigating Sen. Mark Kelly after ‘you can refuse illegal orders’ video

3/ Pentagon’s investigation “absurd” and proposed charges “ridiculous.”

Senator Kelly was “reminding troops of their duty to follow the law and to not engage in illegal activities.”
