They really saw what was done in Gaza and thought "what if this was the whole world"

Going after desalination is closer to nuclear war than anything else weve ever seen there is no world if this is done there is just no world left after the horrors this will unleash

Florida college Republicans group chat reveals racist texts: ‘Avoid the coloreds like the plague’ In leaked chats, students at Florida International University referenced Nazis and made antisemitic and racist remarks

As activists in Texas face decades in prison for zines + attending an anti-ICE protest, Republican organizers in group chats are planning for "acts of extreme violence against Black people, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

there's a pretty limited array of things Ds can do from the minority in congress. but one thing they can do is just say over and over, "Trump is a lying incompetent sack of shit and everything he does is evil and wrong."

they can say that for free!

how can this be so hard? He is a vile racist fascist, a thundering dolt...and he's enormously unpopular! Just oppose him, you quisling motherfuckers!

Trump's a genocidal lying fascist who is also an incompetent dolt. You cannot go wrong by simply opposing everything he does.

calvin: HEY DAD, I'M DOING A TRAFFIC SAFETY POSTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR A SLOGAN? calvin’s dad: SURE! "CYCLISTS HAVE A RIGHT TO THE ROAD TOO, YOU NOISY, POLLUTING, INCONSIDERATE MANIACS! I HOPE GAS GOES UP TO EIGHT BUCKS A GALLON!" calvin: THANKS, DAD. I'LL GO ASK MOM. calvin’s dad: WHY ? THAT'S A GREAT SLOGAN!

every day he’s vindicated

I love when he tries the "Make sacrifices for the good of the Fatherland!" routine to his base of the whiniest, most entitled human beings who have ever lived, people who had a complete emotional breakdown when they couldn't go to Fuddruckers for a couple weeks in 2020.

On this International Women's Day, please don't forget all the women in this detention facility. This is Leqaa Kordia, a NJ resident:

"An Immigration judge has now twice ordered my release on bond, but ICE used procedural loopholes each time to keep me confined."

thrive off lecturing people with the same tired-ass talking points on social media, but hey, I'm glad you found your calling in life.

@gilkeshda.bsky.social do you really think *anyone* who wants to actually push Democratic candidates to be anything other than mushy right-wing shitheads, doesn't know that the world is full of evil people? Evidently, this world is also filled with mediocre blowhard wanna-be writers who seemingly...

Gosh, thank you for that compelling lesson in "pragmatism." I've been involved in political organizing (including plenty of electoral work, particularly on the local level) for 30+ years, and oh, I'm also a healthcare provider for queer and trans patients, but yes, *please* fucking condescend to me.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iran—or anywhere—will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Court Filings Show Florida Taxpayers Could Be Left Covering $1.5B 'Alligator Alcatraz' Project Court filings indicate that Florida taxpayers could ultimately be responsible for up to $1.5 billion spent on a large immigration detention facility in the Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz."

I want my money back. I didn't vote for this shit.

And as someone who saw exactly how much the average American lost their mind after 9/11, I do think that uhhhhhhhh maybe Americans should have more humility about the radicalization that other people who do get routinely bombed undergo (on all “sides,” notably)

Indeed, America and Israel are both bombing Iran right now, but tourists in the UAE are suffering more retaliation than the average American civilian

I am once again thinking about how Americans have no concept of the fact that most of the times when countries go to war their civilians are not safely stowed away from harm the way that American civilians are

Like how can you look at videos of a city burning or a picture of someone's beloved child who's dead now for no reason and want to do anything but bludgeon your brain into silence by any means necessary

I'm not a particularly good person in a lot of ways, there's plenty wrong with me. Prideful, wrathful, vengeful. But I do not understand how anyone can look at these horrors and be like "yes, this is good, we are liberating Iran and keeping ourselves safe"

This was completely unnecessary. It did not have to happen. Everything that has happened since February 28th did not have to happen

One secondary issue I'll be watching, will be to see if Canada ends up loosening import restriction on the many affordable and reasonably well-made Chinese EVs, because if that starts to trickle into the US market that could be an enormous game-changer both for access and to push EV R&D domestically

#OilRain 💔 "What Tehran looks like after 10 million barrels of crude oil went up in smoke last night when the US blew up the oil storage facility. Currently black rain is falling on Tehran. This is one major environmental catastrophe..."

support for a hated genocide in Gaza, or the threatened abandonment of trans people or any other inconvenient marginalized group, have *every fucking right* to aspire for, and to demand, FAR MORE than what these shitty candidates are offering.

...(as Rosa Luxemburg framed it a century ago). The milquetoast reactionary centrism embodied by Newsom, Schumer, and the rest of the Dem establishment has already epically failed as a backstop against the slide into fascism. Those of us who've consistently voted Dem just to be rewarded with...
