A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

“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...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Your dogs need you and I don't know you but I want you here. My dad died of a heart attack too. 💜

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

This is key. It isn't a 60-day pass to wage unchecked war. It is a means to expedite defense of the nation in an emergency. This is a complete twisting of it by Trump and the Republican Congress. Saying that Iran would have retaliated when Israel attacked them does not make it an imminent threat.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

Why is the ILLEGALITY of this not being shouted from the rooftops by every person in Congress 1st & foremost?? Why do people accept that he has the authority to make whatever whim he's ranting abt on his deranged website a reality?? HE IS BREAKING INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC LAW.

It would be nice if statements by members of Congress on the U.S. attack on Iran started with something like:

“This attack is an unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s war powers.”

I’m 62 years old, I live in Tampa, I eat corn and beef everyday, I always have a titleist hat on, and Iran is the biggest threat to my freedom

Jealous

This is shameful. And I'm a UT grad. They are turning a respected institution into a cowardly joke.

The same logic as "if we stop measuring COVID cases, the numbers won't continue to go up"

Man, it’s wild that normal people just go to work every day while the people who run everything meticulously document their sex crimes

Moot met with Epstein on the day /pol/ was created

But also, qanon first 'appeared' on 4chan. /pol/ was on 4chan and was created on the same day that Chris Poole aka moot met with Epstein (taken from @junlper.beer's post)

I will never understand how Trump was legally able to run in 2024 after trying to strong arm governors to defraud voters, and then, when that didn’t work, a violent coup. We let a traitor re-enter the White House.

the feds saying theyll end their campaign of terror against an american city if their demands are met is the biggest domestic scandal of my lifetime

What a dumbass.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Together, we must defend democracy and defeat authoritarianism.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

How much are ICE operations in Minnesota costing taxpayers? Surely someone has those numbers...
