This fuckery in the Texas primary is a preview of the fuckery you’re going to see in November if there are elections at all.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was true.

These Christian Nationalists are insane.

I cannot state with enough emphasis how refreshing it is to see someone of Steve’s intelligence and stature openly stating the obvious. The reward for being right though, is an absolutely shitty reality.

here’s a huge mistake the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled press are making right now, as they cover Dear Leader’s Splendid Iran Adventureβ„’: they’re treating Donny as if he were a rational actor who knows what he’s doing.

spoiler alert: he’s not. he’s bugfuck nuts, in steep cognitive decline, and there is no plan. he’s making it all up as he goes along.

a drooling idiot is in charge of an insane war with Iran, and it's criminally negligent for the compliant lapdog press to pretend otherwise.
thank you for your attention to today's very angry post in which I rip them all several new ones.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

President Obama had a deal with Iran that trump ripped up without replacing, and now we're in an unnecessary war with Iran that he started without Congress, because he's a small, petty, envious punk.

News and culture is very rapidly being dominated by administration-aligned companies. It's actually astonishing how fast this has happened. And it's not stopping.

Today will be a significant detail in the many, many textbooks that will be written about the era I fear we're still at the start of.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion.
But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

'God does not need papers': Cardinals spend Ash Wednesday with ICE detainees, their families Cardinal Blase Cupich led a Mass in Chicago, which was attended by relatives of those who have been detained or deported. Cardinal Joseph Tobin celebrated Masses inside an ICE detention center in Newa...

"More than 3,000 people attended the Mass and walked in the procession.

"Families affected by immigration enforcement were among the first to receive ashes from Cupich, in a highly symbolic reversal of the marking and tracking many say defines their daily lives."

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Q: Have you fired or disciplined the staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?

TRUMP: No I haven't. That was a video on voter fraud.

He chose Zara because they're a Spanish brand, is what I thought. Highlighting the culture.
Personally, I boycott Zara and fast fashion. He could have chosen Latin fashion designers.
